US media: Reeves is expected to give up the player option tomorrow summer, and his annual salary for the next contract will exceed 30 million

Today, US media ClutchPoints published an article talking about Reeves' contract situation and his future direction.

"Austin Reeves' contract storm is coming. Last season, the Lakers locked in a player who averaged 20 points per game, with a salary of only $13.9 million. It can be said that this is one of the most cost-effective contracts in the league. But now this great contract is about to expire. Next summer, Li Li is expected to give up the player option and become a free agent. To be honest, his next contract will definitely be above $30 million.

"The question is simple, should the Lakers keep him for a long time and make him the No. 2 core beside Doncic, or should they trade it or leave it freely under the eye of other teams? One thing is certain that all kinds of rumors before the deadline will definitely be very lively, and if he really enters the free market, the bidding war for him will be even more lively. Reeves will make a big profit. ” ClutchPoints wrote.

Last season, Reeves averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game; next season, his annual salary is $13.94 million, and $14.9 million in the 26-27 season, but there are player options.
