Annual salary of 20 million! The Lakers want is here. Reeves, will you renew your contract or leave the team next summer?

This summer, when Reeves refused Pelinka's four-year offer of nearly 90 million in advance, the former may not be without.

First, performance. 24-25, Reeves' true positive and negative value of 2.4. For comparison, Shen Jing 2.6, Siakam 2.2-the former has an annual salary of 36 million, while the latter has an annual salary of 48 million.

Secondly, given James' age in the new season, Reeves' chances are guaranteed without much surprise - the 24-25 season's round usage rate is 23.7%, ranking 57th in the league. Potentially, even if the data (performance) does not have a significant improvement, it will not decline sharply.

Second, salary space. Unlike this summer, there are plenty of salary space for many teams including the Nets, Wizards, Heat, etc. tomorrow. If you have space, you have the possibility of grabbing people.

From Reeves' perspective, why not fight for a big contract without showing convincing performance? You know, unlike superstars such as Durant and Curry, whether to win the championship or not does not add to historical status.

What is the Lakers' attitude towards Reeves?

I think there are generally two aspects.

Preferred, suitable price.

First of all, as I said just now, whether it is data or actual combat, Reeves on the offensive end is indeed close to the All-Star level, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, defense. It should be noted that due to limitations in physical conditions, it is difficult to achieve qualitative changes.

The advantages and disadvantages are obvious, so you can refer to the Bucks signing Turner for 107 million in four years this summer. Turner's problem is that the beautiful cover data cannot cover up the slightly average basket protection rate - not to mention the 55.5% basket protection rate, compared with Gobert and Kessler, there are differences in role players like Zubac.

Another example is Giddy.

24-25 All-Stars averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists per game. During the same period, Jokic was the only two players in the league who averaged at least triple-double and quasi-triple-double per game. However, projection, especially medium and long distance, is the biggest disadvantage, which is also the main reason for being abandoned by Thunder.

Therefore, the appropriate price for Reeves can be referred to Turner and Gidey - an annual salary of about 25 million is very suitable.

times, a relatively premium contract.

As I said just now, given that there are more teams with plenty of room next summer, it is not ruled out that some teams will offer big contracts to win people for Reeves. In desperation, Pelinka could only match.

Relatively speaking, I think the result that the Lakers most hope for is definitely the first point. After all, Reeves has obvious advantages and disadvantages - it is a pity to give up, but the premium contract does not rule out that it may become a garbage contract in the future. Just a little bit, the real shooting rate brought by averaging only 1.4 free throws per game in the 24-25 season dropped sharply to an inefficient 53.2%. In other words, without the "help" of the referee, Reeves will struggle to attack on the offensive end.

Speaking of this, what is beneficial to the Lakers is here.

According to the NBA China official website, the Bulls have offered Gideon 20 million annual salary, and they do not accept signing first and then changing.

The annual salary is 20 million, which is obviously the result that the Lakers want.

First, Gidey and Reeves are not much different from each other in terms of data or combat power. The current one has an annual salary of 20 million, and no matter how high the latter is, it will not be as high as the annual salary of 30 million.

Second, if the Bulls dare to pay an annual salary of 20 million, it means they are not afraid of other teams grabbing it. In other words, other teams will not offer contracts higher than this price.

Finally, the desired result can be understood as Gidey's contract is a good reference for renewal of Reeves, which is in line with the Lakers' expectations. Now it depends on whether Reeves will renew his contract or leave the team tomorrow summer.
