In Los Angeles Lakers, efforts are being made to ensure a consistently competitive long-term future. With Luka Doncic, the franchise knows they must surround the Slovenian with the best possible support to contend for the championship every year. Included in these plans is Austin Reaves, but not at any cost.
Back in July, Reaves made it very clear by turning down a 4-year, $89.2 million contract extension offer. The player believes he can secure a better deal in the upcoming 2026 Free Agency.
This was reported by ESPN's Tim Bontemps in NBA Rumors. Reaves still aims to play for the Lakers, seeking a salary exceeding $30 million per season.
In the past NBA season, Austin Reaves averaged 20.2 points and 5.8 assists per game with the Lakers.
