"As the Lakers prepare for their lone scheduled decision of the NBA Draft — the No. 55 pick — fans should have realistic expectations for the kind of impact a player taken in the final gasps of the second round can have on a roster."

Ironic to read that sentence in a story about Reaves.

by the way just by waiting until next summer (even if he didn't opt out ) he can may an extra 9 mil and he can make over 100 mil more if he opts out

6:00 p.m. ET: Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has turned down a four-year, $89.2 million extension, sources confirmed to ESPN's Dave McMenamin. It comes as no surprise. In the summer of 2026, Reaves is eligible to sign a four-year, $98 million extension, or he can opt out of the final year of his contract, become an unrestricted free agent and be eligible for 25% of the salary cap for 2026-27. The Lakers made the offer, sources said, understanding that Reaves would turn it down, but the franchise wanted to show its interest in him nonetheless and would not have wanted to send the wrong signal by not offering it. Both sides, sources said, are motivated to find a deal next summer.
