How Much $$$ Should Jazz Throw at Austin Reaves?

Yes, but there would’ve been no reason for them to not match. The only difference is they get him at a discount for the last two years of the contract they signed him to. I’m pretty sure both sides were eager to work out an extension, so they decided to get it done.
Or could it be that our eyes have been on Dame all along?
 
Maybe we didn’t make an offer cos were going for Dame?

Not knowing Miami’s picks , they really don’t have much outside of herro and Robinson , which for the player Dame is , doesn’t get you anywhere near a gobert package .

With Portland looking to send Herro to a third team , it indicates they are just after picks , and we sure have a treasure chest of those .

Nothing has been announced yet , DA is on his 10 coffee ☕️ for the day , we could only hope .
 
Does LAL have his bird rights?

Now that they are owned by Mark Walter, I think they will pay whatever to keep him. I also think he wants to stay in LA, so I'm not sure what the likelihood is that he is actually available.
 
OK, I just looked it up, and LAL does have his bird rights.

Probably time to let this thread die again. My apologies.
Ehh, I wouldn't be so sure. Once LA pays him they won't have money to do anything else.

So if Austin is OK just sitting around while LA figures out what to do/who to sign, it can work out for them, but he can also just leave the moment someone comes with a great offer.

Lebron might be gone.

Reaves isn’t going anywhere.

The more he looks like a no brainer Max contract guy the less likely I think it is that he goes anywhere else. If LAL offers him a max contract, I think he wants to be there.

I don't think LAL will go cheap at all with their new ownership. There are apron stuff that they have to figure out, but once Lebron retires they will be fine and they don't have anybody else to pay. I'm currently putting like a 95% probability he stays with LAL.

They have to pay someone else besides Luka/Ar if they want to be good
 
The only scenario where he moves is if he doesn't look like a max player, but we max him. But even in that scenario the Lakers might just give him the money Reaves. has a $21M cap hold. I'd put the likelihood of us signing him between 1-2%.
