Trade & Free Agency 2026/2027

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Update on Austin Reaves’ contract with the Lakers: Final terms are four years, $180 million, with a player option in 2029–30, league sources tell me. Reaves agreed to a lower amount than the previously reported $185 million to help give Los Angeles more future flexibility. Bobby Marks: The Austin Reaves contract is the maximum allowable salary in year 1; $41.2M. Year 2 is a roughly 4% increase off year 1. With the cap only projected to increase 5.5% in 2027-28, we are seeing a trend in how contracts are structured in the second season.
