This led to some fans being amazed at how good of a deal it was.
“Good deal for them,” one fan said.
Another fan replied, “Good price. Good signing.”
“Rob Pelinka is cooking. That’s a steal,” a third fan tweeted.
Reaves just wrapped up his second season with the Lakers and averaged 13 points, three rebounds, and three assists per game. Before that, he finished the 2021-22 season averaging seven points and three rebounds per game.
In the playoffs, Reaves averaged 16.9 points per game on 44.3 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Clearly, he wasn’t bothered by the bright lights.
He’ll look to set a career-high in those categories this upcoming season.
