100 million in 4 years! Goodbye Owen! Goodbye Russell! The first person the Lakers stayed on this summer was born

For today's Lakers team, in addition to James, the 25-year-old Rivers is undoubtedly not for sale, and its combat power and potential are far better than Russell, Schroder, Walker and others. You must know that some time ago, the Lakers discussed a trade with the Lone Ranger, but the trade chips proposed by the Lone Ranger were directly rejected by the Lakers management because the former specified to catch Rivers in this deal.

In fact, regardless of whether a star point guard can be brought in this summer, the primary goal of Lakers management is to renew Rivers. According to Lakers reporter Jovan Buha, sources revealed that the Lakers plan to keep Austin Reeves this summer, even if the Lakers need to match the highest offer.

In addition, the reporter also claimed that the maximum amount that the Lakers are willing to match is $100 million for 4 years. "Reeves is the most fascinating scenario, in theory, the Lakers can offer Reeves a four-year, $54 million contract, and there could be teams offering close to $100 million over four years in the summer, and some executives believe he is worth eighty million over four years. I think the Lakers will keep him. Apparently, they prefer to sign him to a four-year, $54 million contract, and Reeves will have multiple suitors, the Magic, the Rockets and the Spurs. According to what I got from the Lakers, they are willing to match any amount, up to a hundred million for four years. ”

During the regular season, Rivers averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3.4 assists while shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 39.8 percent from three-point range

During the playoffs, Rivers averaged 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists while shooting 46.4 percent from the field and 44.3 percent from three-point range

There's no denying that Rivers has improved rapidly this season, not only developing his ability to handle the ball, but also taking his shooting up a notch. It's no exaggeration to say that Rivers is enough to be called the Lakers' No. 3 star, not only can he develop good chemistry with James, but he is also a trustworthy choice in key moments. If the Lakers can successfully re-sign Rivers, they will only need to make minor repairs to the roster, and they will still have the strength to compete for a championship next season.

In fact, Rivers' stay with the Lakers is basically a sure thing, you must know that he has been a loyal fan of the Lakers since he was a child, and he took the initiative to give up the pick during the draft and named to come to the Lakers, which shows that Rivers has an unusual affection for the Lakers. It can be said that as long as it is not maliciously raised by other teams, it is only a matter of time before Rivers re-contracts the Lakers.

I wonder what the officials think about this?
