Under pressure, I had to accept it! Will the Lakers match any offers about Reeves?
According to New York Post reporter Mark Stein, the Los Angeles Lakers will do whatever it takes to keep Austin Reaves, a backcourt rising star who was in great form in the playoffs, this summer. The Lakers will match an offer from any other team, even if a team is willing to send him a four-year, $100 million maximum offer contract, the Lakers will match it.
This season, Reeves played a total of 64 games for the Lakers in the regular season, averaging 28.8 minutes per game, averaging 13 points, 3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.3 blocks while shooting 52.9% from the field, 39.8% from three-point range and 86.4% from the free-throw line. By the playoffs, Reeves' performance had improved tremendously, making a total of 16 appearances for the Lakers, averaging 36.2 minutes per game, averaging 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.2 blocks while shooting 46.4% from the field, 44.3% from three-point range and 89.5% from the free-throw line.
Judging by Reeves' performance in the playoffs and how much he has improved, he has become an indispensable key figure in the Lakers' roster and plays a vital role in the team. If it weren't for his stepping up in times of crisis, the Lakers might not really have had a chance to advance all the way to the Western Conference finals.
For the Lakers, they're in all sorts of trouble right now, with D'Angelo Russell and Dennis Schroder both set to be free agents this summer. With Schroder's performance in the playoffs, it may be difficult for the Lakers to have a chance to keep him. And Axel's performance in the playoffs obviously did not meet everyone's expectations, and in this case, if they are not able to keep Reeves, the situation will indeed become very critical. In this way, the Lakers are also forced to accept this offer.
