How Much $$$ Should Jazz Throw at Austin Reaves?

Hard to see the Lakers not matching anything on Reaves. Jeanine Buss is probably convincing herself he's the next Jerry West

I think he should be in the starting lineup because he rounds out the backcourt better than anyone else I would hope to get. He looks like an elite glue guy and this team needs something like that somewhere on the roster. There will always be room on a roster for a sharpshooter and plus defender, saying nothing of the passing, feel, and intangibles.

Clarkson can get really hot, is really fun, and can win you some games (also can lose you some games…). He will also probably never be as good as he’s been this season since it’s his last contract year of his prime.

Ya I love clarkson but im ready to move on from him. This is arguably his best season of his career and yet I have enjoyed the games when he doesn't play more than when he does and our record doesn't seem to be much worse when he doesn't play.

No doubt he is earning himself a massive payday. The lakers have hit on a shocking number of late 1st, 2nd rd picks and undrafted free agents over the last 9 years.

Jordan Clarkson- 46th pick in 2014
Larry Nance- 27th pick in 2015
Ivica Zubac- 32nd pick in 2016
Kyle Kuzma- 27th pick in 2017
Josh Hart- 30thh pick in 2017
Thomas Bryant- 42nd pick in 2017
Moritz Wagner- 25th pick in 2018
Talen Horton Tucker- 46th pick in 2019
Alex Caruso- Undrafted
Austin Reaves- Undrafted

I also think we are going to look back on Max Christie in the few years and say he was a steal for a 2nd rd pick.
 
Jazz could sign Reaves, draft Dick Filipowski, Edey
Then with Olynyk, Kessler, Markannen have a true hillbilly team
Then name Jazz the Utah Hillbillies :) :) :) :) :) :) o_O:rolleyes::cool:

If that’s a thing then I am fine with it. I’m not sure it’s a thing though. Early Bird/RFA/Arenas Provision seems to be the CBA boss fight. **** is squirrelly as hell.

Like… I’m pretty sure the Lakers can only offer 105% of the MLE, but they can theoretically match any offer so long as they have space for the 3rd and 4th years of the deal where it could spike from ~MLE to the max… or maybe even beyond the max in those years?

This is rapidly becoming one of the strangest CBA scenarios I’ve ever discussed.

This is a great summary.

The Jazz should be the team that takes him or gives LA a very poisoned pill. Jazz will/should have more space than they know what to do with.

BTW: Jazz should also do some recon and poach whoever is digging out all of these prospects for the Lakers. No way it’s just luck at this point.

I'm fine with it... so long as it doesn't slow down any other business we do... They are very likely to grit their teeth and match and I would not want to miss out on something more solid.
