utah loves their white boys

All that to say they’d offer 28 millions. LAL would easily match.

Luka and losing his second ball handler, name a more iconic duo. 

If the Lakers fuck up again and somehow let this man walk…

I doubt it. After the JJJ trade we don’t have the space to make an offer LA wouldn’t match, and the fit with Keyonte is awful.

This sounds more like a pre-season take that’s being brought out again as we near the offseason, rather than actual new information. 

A lot of teams are going to be interested in him with the numbers and efficiency he put up this year

This is the crazy thing I see with some Lakers fans thinking he’s going to takes lowball offer, not happening.

He was already underpaid on the last contract and took a team friendly deal

You try to lowball him and he’s going to walk like Brunson did

Someone dress up Dalton in a Reeves jersey and offer him and 300 free tacos coupons

Least obvious Austin Reaves agent is pushing for leverage to increase his demand

Key is averaging 24, 6, and 4 on good efficiency. The Jazz have Key, Ace, Lauri, Jaren, and Walker as the starting lineup next season. Lauri and Jaren are on max contracts. Key will be getting 30+ million with his new contract. Walker will probably get 25+ million, too. Potentially, Ace is benched if they get Peterson, Dybantsa, or a guard with their pick. The Jazz don’t need more guards, especially in the 40+ million range with Reaves

The Lakers will give them Dalton Knecht for free

Isn’t this the kind of thing that’s in the Ainge playbook? He drives up the price for a competitor to pay/sign their player in order to ham string their options down the line? Unsure if there is a genuine interest, given the staggering development of George.

Reaves signing for 39-40 mm for 5 years with lakers - slight hometown discount and everyone can declare victory. About zero percent chance this doesn’t happen. I should add, in what world does anyone think Reaves would have made decision to leave. Yeah, it’s going to be horrible for him in LA being one of the faces of the storied franchise, playing alongside Luka, averaging almost 30 on a good but not great Lakers team

Utah cooking up 90s Duke 😂😂😂

Could they make it less obvious that they’re building a team specifically for Utah? hahahaha

This is Utah responding to the rumors that the Lakers want Kessler. “Oh, your offering Kessler, then maybe we’ll offer Reaves.” Reaves will get the max via bird rights from the Lakers after the Lakers have made pushes for Free Agents like Watson, Kessler, and Wiggins.

I’m sorry to hear that, Austin.

most Jazz player imaginable

The story whites itself..

Austin Reeves is signing a new shoe deal with the Mormon church

[deleted]

Very long winded way to say no matter what the Jazz do they can’t afford the player they are interested in. No way in hell he signs that contract

I would be shocked if he signs for less than 35m a year

Of course they are

Reaves signed a great deal to stay in LAL uniform. I doubt he leaves unless the Lakers lowball him.

Nah I think this is just Aigne baiting LA to overpay AR.

“The plan? Build a roster of white players and then trade with Jazz.”

When Bron finally retires, won’t the Lakers have enough cap for Reaves?

Well he’s white, so yeah.

In other news, water remains wet.

I actually think Luka would return to Dallas if this happened and the Lakers didn’t successfully pivot

I mean already low on assets and you lose Reaves for nothing? Meanwhile Shai, Tatum, and Wemby are set up like gods

So we will never get to see Austin Reeves play again outside of League Pass.

Sucks

Didn’t the last time the Jazz signed a white costar from the Lakers create a domino effect that led to drafting Magic Johnson?

Roll out the five Caucasian lineup

No whites are safe.

Need more white guys

Only way is a sign and trade for him and Keyonte George. But I don’t get the Jazz. This would be a horrible move. Bro you have JJJ, Lauri, George, Bailey and a slew of others young talent. Go and try to win, wtf?

Would be a bummer if SpongeBob lost his Patrick

They can lick my left kneecap

Austin Reeves with this Jazz squad would be amazing

Poor Pincus

Breaking News: Bears shit in the woods.

Of course they are

Look Ma, no D

LOL

Wow, would be a perfect fit next to Lauri, JJJ & keyonte

That’s our snowflake

Sounds like they’re not getting him he’s worth way more than $28m.

Before Keyonte George blossomed this season, there could be real interest, and Reaves would make a positive change for Utah If they got him.

After that, there’s just no good reason to add a 35 to upwards of 40 a year for another guard that can’t defend.

If anything, it’s the Jazz that should have the Lakers as the team they fear the most for coming with a high offer that they’re obliged to match for Kessler.

At first i read it like Austin Rivers…stupid jazz ( homer simpson voice)

28 million?!? Thought he’d be in the 34-38 million range 

A backcourt of Reaves and George sounds like BBQ Chicken

i need to see this just so i can laugh at the whistle hell get in Utah

Nah lakers better keep him, that’s our number 2 after Luna

Of course they are lmao iykyk

Who’s going to tell Ainge?

Utah fans would build a statue of Reeves on the spot if the Jazz acquired him.

Luka is about to be all alone in the LAL dumpster next season

Come on down to Tank Town Austin!

Just to use him as tank commander on bench, gtfo

Please show me the money!

yawn

Jazz gonna send him a big offer sheet, forcing the Lakers to overpay him by at least 5-10 million per year.

And Danny Ainge the type of sicko to find joy in either outcome.

Watch that whistle dry up immediately lmao

That’s nice but I’m still waiting for the report that says the Utah Jazz are showing significant interest in winning games lol
