According to multiple sources, the Los Angeles Lakers decided to match any offer on the market aimed at point guard Reeves, and even if the opponent proposed a sky-high four-year, $100 million contract, the Lakers did not hesitate to say they would match the offer. The news sparked a heated debate among fans, who said that the Lakers had made great efforts to retain Reeves.
This move by the Lakers is considered to be a real fight! With an annual salary of $25 million, this 4-year, $100 million contract is not too impressive in the current era of soaring contracts, but considering that this contract was proposed by the Lakers management led by Jenny Buss, it undoubtedly shows the team's generosity and determination.
In the past few years, the Lakers have not offered such a large contract except for LeBron James and Anthony Davis, two absolute core superstars. This move also shows that the Lakers have a high opinion and trust in Reeves, and see him as one of the core of the team's future.
Reeves has been great since joining the Lakers, showing excellent ball handling, playmaking and leadership on the court. His arrival brought huge changes to the Lakers and became an important driving force for the team on the offensive end. His tacit cooperation with James and Davis has also won many victories for the Lakers.
This move by the Lakers also shows their ambitions for the future of the team. By retaining Reeves, they hope to build a more consistent and competitive team and build a solid foundation for the championship.
For fans, the match for this contract is exciting news. They have expressed satisfaction with the Lakers' decision and believe that Reeves' retention will have a positive impact on the team's future development.
