Reeves is not worth anywhere near max money, he has shown he cannot stay healthy and was a non factor again in the playoffs. If im the Lakers I don’t offer him more than 20-23 million a yr and if he says no let him go play for more money in Brooklyn or Utah .

Fully agree. This is the first real test for the ne owners and FO. Paying him more than 25 per will be a deadly mistake fornthe Lakers. Anything above that is insane, and if there is such a team, do a sign and trade for AR then to get Kyrie

I would be pleased if the Nets got him for 40mil per

Makes sense that Marks would want to sign the second worse defender in the league.

Reaves and Porter would be an unstoppable duo. As in... Everyone they face will be unstoppable! :wink:

You take Reaves out of LA, away from Luka and LeBron, and I don't think you have the same player.

If he's the focal point of say Brooklyn's offense, do we really believe he'll put up similar numbers offensively? Even if he does, without any defense, is that worth upwards of $40 million a season? No. No it isn't.
