Lakers predicted to part ways with Austin Reaves, sign $304M three-time MVP, NBA champion
The Los Angeles Lakers could very well be making big time moves in the future. This potential deal would land them one of the best players in the game for Austin Reaves.
The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly planning to part ways with Austin Reaves and sign three-time NBA MVP and champion Nikola Jokic, valued at $304 million. This potential move comes after the Lakers traded for superstar Luka Dončić two years ago, aiming to create a championship-contending team around him. Despite their disappointment with recent playoff appearances, the Lakers have re-signed Reaves to a substantial contract, providing more financial flexibility.
Lakers head coach JJ Redick has expressed his desire to create offensive schemes around two elite playmakers, suggesting a potential powerful duo with Dončić and Jokic.
