Austin Reaves just got the bag… That’s what the kids say when a player receives a lot of money. Today, Laker guard and former Sooner hooper Austin Reaves signed a max contract with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The deal is worth a reported 4 years for 56 million dollars per the Athletic. The agreement is part of what the NBA has termed an ‘early-bird’ maximum contract.
Austin played in 64 Lakers contests last year, averaging 13.0 points per game, 3.4 assists per game, and 3.0 boards per game. He provided a much-needed spark for the sludgy Laker offense.
