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

[Hearsky]

if so, they will make moves to make it possible.

I'm good with creating a lot of commotion for the Lakers. Make them make some uncomfortable decisions.

Can we front load to make if more difficult for Lakers to match? Not sure if you can still do that or not. How we lost Wesley Matthews back in the day.

No, we offer a straight 4/96 (1/4 of the total salary per year, no increases or decreases), they pay 14/14/34/34 (ca) if they match.

He's still our best perimeter defender at the guard position for bigger guards/wings and our best passer. He has the highest upside on the roster at the PG position (barring what Keyonte can show this year).

It's just super strange to me people actually want him to opt out.

He is also the worst at numerous things (shooting and turnovers)

No wonder teams are calling left and right for his service…

Anyone know why we didn’t trade for Reeves instead of THT?

Good thing the Jazz added a ton of shooting in the draft and by picking up Collins. Space the floor for THT and gave him lob options

You have to admit, when things are going well for THT, he can look amazing. So skilled and athletic. You can imagine how good a player he can be if he learned how to shoot better and play more under control.

Reaves wasn't available dingus.

The Lakers are one of the best drafting organizations in the NBA.

Yet morons want him gone

I get it. He hasn't shown enough improvement so far in his NBA career. The prospect of adding someone tried and true at the PG position is appealing. Although I'd hate to see THT figure things out and explode on another team.

He’s also worse at passing and defending. Cy is high.
