The Los Angeles Lakers have made Austin Reaves the number two scoring option behind Luka Doncic, and it has him producing career numbers. AR wants a massive payday this summer, and it is coming. He has passed LeBron in the Lakers pecking order. Fans know Reaves isn’t chasing personal accolades (subscription required), but his franchise is making him a superstar.
AR wants to be a Laker, and there is no way Los Angeles is letting LeBron and Reaves walk in the same summer. If they want to make significant changes around Luka, it appears that it will be the NBA’s all-time leading scorer who’s looking for a new home.
