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

[SoberasHotRod]

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.

LoL .. nothing? We’re getting Keyonte George in the draft.

This aged, uh, well, you do the math.

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.

Reaves isn’t going anywhere.

We will see. I choose to be optimistic about the possibility. If Reaves doesn't work out, Grimes is playing great as well and would be a good 2-way pick up

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.

We should definitely be keeping an eye on Grimes.

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%.

I would rather go get grimes. Better defender.
