Other teams could offer him up to $98.6 million.

He stepped up big time and was basically an 18-5-5 guy with near 50-40-90 shooting splits as a starter for them. "There were several factors as to why the Lakers made that second half run, but chief among them — and maybe the biggest factor overall — was Reaves’ ascension."With LeBron James' looming retirement, the Purple and Gold are looking forward to building a team for the future and Reaves is expected to be a huge part of that.Also read: "I want to be here"- Austin Reaves wants to remain a Laker after his stunning season
