Austin Reaves is about to start his fifth season with the Los Angeles Lakers, but it may be his last.

Multiple teams are keeping a close eye on Reaves in case he doesn’t sign an extension with the Lakers next summer.

According to Dan Woike, he could be receiving a huge payday.

“Austin Reaves could reportedly receive offers of up to $40M per season on his next contract,” Woike reported.

Reaves’ next contract might be massive, and it may be with the Lakers.

However, he might end up being out of their price range.

The team doesn’t want to lose Reaves, but they also know they have to be smart with their money.

There will be a lot of competition to sign Reaves, but the Lakers will do everything they can to bring him a favorable contract.

But they also know they can only do so much, and they cannot spend all of their cash on one player.

This next season could be huge for Reaves.

If he plays very well, this number will only go up, and he’ll receive even better offers next summer.

That’ll make it much harder for the Lakers to compete and keep him.

If he has some troubles and doesn’t live up to the hype, his contract offers may not be as red-hot.

Reaves has worked his way up to the third option in Los Angeles, and he has earned all the praise he’s received.

He is working hard to get a nice, healthy contract, and 2025-26 holds the keys to a massive salary.
