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

It doesn’t look as large… dlo doesn’t have a huge market… cap and tax rise a bit… the only issue really arises if they want to use the MLE or if they want to do a sign and trade for Kyrie. They could give DLo 20M, accept Beasley’s option, give Austin 15M and they’d end up 5-6M into the tax… that’s pretty manageable and there are a few places they can save a few dollars. I’m guessing Austin would be willing to give up a few million over a 4 year deal to stay in LA…
The tax is still there… but it’s not nearly the issue it was this year… they could simply decline Beasleys option and they’d be square… Dlo may also find his market to be really narrow and might end up closer to 12-13M or less.

Either way just give Austin a toxic big contract and make the Lakers match
Its a bit of a dangerous game. You have to balance how toxic you want it to be. Starting at 18M a year and descending by 4% per year is about as high as I could stomach... I am betting some here would freak out at that number though.

I'd go 20 million. I think Reaves is that dude.
Ya know what... eff it... why not. He can be a pseudo pg if we don't find a better option.
Yes, but hopefully not too much top-5 style.

Ehh. With flattened odds, how even being dog **** has an elite level, and that the Jazz have a million 1sts (including FOUR picks in 2027), I say view it as though it’s unprotected. The Jazz should be aiming for quality over quantity in this case so the risk is worth it.

OMG, we definitely need one of those. The current guard rotation is all pass-first ball movers after all
