The Los Angeles Lakers have already made a ton of moves to start NBA free agency, from re-signing restricted free agent Rui Hachimura, to adding Gabe Vincent, Taurean Prince and Cam Reddish. The biggest dominoes left to fall for the team are now Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell.
There has been little noise around the latter other than that the team is still hoping to re-sign him, and the atmosphere around Reaves has been similarly quiet. It turns out there is a reason for that, though: The Lakers have put their best offer on the table for Reaves already, and he and his camp are waiting to see if the market can give them more.
