Austin Reaves has increased his value by solidifying his role as a start for the Lakers. The undrafted 24-year-old guard will become a restricted free agent this summer and is expect to draw interest from multiple teams.
The Lakers can reportedly offer Reaves a four-year deal worth around $53 million. If another team offers more to the player, Los Angeles won’t be able to outbid that.
According to Marc Stein, there will be at least one team who will offer to Reaves more than what the Lakers are able to.
Reaves averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 28.8 minutes per game this past regular season. He is playing an even bigger role in the playoffs, averaging 16.4 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists in 35.6 minutes per game.
