I get that LAL can for sure match anything for Reeves on paper, but in reality do the Lakers really want to be paying Reeves north of 20 mil a year should a hungry team like Charlotte throw a bag at him and the Lakers are forced to match?
Maybe they do. He's young and has shown a lot of talent this run. Good teams do retain their homegrown guys (*Editors note: This is NOT related to Brunson*).
Lakers are always chasing the next big star. Hard to imagine they'd cap themselves out even further for a guy like Reeves when they balked on paying plenty of other role players. There has to be a number where the Lakers say "No thank you. You can have him."
