RFA Austin Reaves has agreed to return to the Los Angeles Lakers on a four-year, $56 million Early Bird maximum contract, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Agents Aaron Reilly and Reggie Berry of AMR Agency negotiated the new deal to keep Reaves in L.A. long term.

Reaves went from a two-way contract to a standard minimum contract in 2021 NBA training camp – and now less than two years later, cashes in on the maximum allowable salary from the Lakers.

Letting him walk away would have been worse. Young talented, playoff proven. You could always trade him in the future

I was hoping someone offer sheeted him just so lakers would have to match a 100m contract. But I guess there weren’t any real suitors out there.
