- The "He's Worth His Weight in Gold (or at Least Kobe Beef)" Contract: This one puts Reaves in the $20 million per year range. Let's face it, the Lakers know what they have in a guy who can not only play defense but also hit threes like they're going out of style. Plus, have you seen his hustle? They might throw in a lifetime supply of protein shakes just to keep that engine going.
- The "We Miss You, Nick Young" Memorial Contract: Remember Swaggy P? Yeah, us too. This contract would be a head-scratcher, landing Reaves somewhere in the $10-15 million range. But hey, maybe the Lakers are feeling nostalgic and want to recreate that... unique... brand of basketball.
- The "Who is Austin Reaves?" Bargain Basement Special: Okay, this one's purely for laughs. Nobody actually thinks Reaves will get low-balled, but hey, it wouldn't be the NBA without a little drama, right?
The Truth is Out There (Probably Somewhere Between A and C)
In all seriousness, experts predict Reaves will land somewhere in the $14-18 million per year range. This seems like a sweet spot, rewarding his talent and potential while not breaking the bank for the Lakers.
