"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 make 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.

De Andre Ayton to The Lakers.

Atlanta looks like they've improved a lot on paper. We'll see if it shows up on court.

Any Thunder fans remember Darius Bazley? He has signed to be a part of The Lakers' summer league roster.

The Pacers confirmed that Haliburton won’t play at all next season. Expected news but still sucks. And makes it all the more silly that people were suggesting that JN should/could have been playing 7 months after his injury. There aren’t many injuries worse than an Achilles rupture for a basketball player. I hope JN is able to show the same athleticism that he had before the injury, but that’s not a given.

He just had a 27 point 13 rebound game. He may be playing his way into a contract.

Cooper Flagg versus Bronny tonight. You talk about a mismatch. O/U on their point totals? I say Cooper with 19 and Bronny with 11.

I think that both of them have poor shooting nights.

12 2 and 2 for Fears with time left ... but an ugly 7 turns

Not sure how accurate these box scores are but shows he had 6 fouls in 26 min

When you're allowed ten fouls, it's hard to say...

Wrong on the point totals but both Bronny and Cooper had horrible nights shooting. Cooper has got a long way to go, but I think eventually he'll be a star.

Bronny is, well, he is Bronny.

He will be a star very quickly. I don’t think he has very far to go at all.

Fears highlights .. he looks bigger already
