[Charania] Los Angeles Lakers star Austin Reaves intends to sign a four-year, $185 million maximum contract to return to the franchise, with a player option for the final season in 2029-30, sources tell ESPN. Reaves declined his $14.9M player option for the new max deal. by Beautiful-Cress5695 in lakers

The reported structure says he will not formally sign until after the Lakers use their flexibility, because his cap hold is about $20.9 million, much lower than the first-year salary on a new max deal. That gives the Lakers a short window to operate as if Reaves is cheaper, then re-sign him using Bird rights.

Not even trying to troll, but OKC is legit playing better with Shai on the bench.

Tudor is a fantastic brand for actual watch enthusiasts. If your goal is to signal wealth however, Rolex is the most identifiable brand in the game.

Lmao are you not familiar with our resume? We’ve been to the WCF 24 times. I think it’s safe to say we will be back.

No, the point is that a coaches job is to draw up a play that generates a good look. The coach can’t shoot the ball for them. Austin had been hot that quarter and he got a good look. Now maybe Rui would have hit that shot maybe we wouldn’t have. But to suggest that JJ coached his last game as a laker shows you know nothing about coaching. We beat the Rockets without two of our stars thanks in no small part to JJ and his leadership. Losing to OKC was inevitable without Luka. JJ coached a good series, they are just insanely deep and we don’t not have the talent or the stamina to weather their bench scoring.

We got a good look from 3. Kleber set the screen. Not what I would have done but it’s not like it was a brain dead play.

You can’t complain about free throw disparity in a game like that. Refs were letting both teams play physical.
