Reject the Lakers offer, the Lakers leader will no longer make concessions

For the Lakers this year's offseason, they will need to strengthen the inside. And if they want to strengthen a good inside player, they may have to trade some players on the team. For example, Reeves may become a potential bargaining chip. However, the Lakers recently provided a quotation contract to Reeves. The Lakers offered a four-year, 89 million contract to Reeves, but was rejected by Reeves. In fact, it is easy to understand. In this league with an explosion of salary, Reeves' rejection of this offer was not beyond the expectations of many fans. Moreover, based on his performance in the regular season this season, he can get a contract worth hundreds of millions. So it was very wise for him personally to reject the offer.

Reeves averaged 20+6 data per game in the regular season. Even after Doncic joined the Lakers, he was able to perform very well. This proves the value of Reeves. He can still perform very stably after going to other teams in the league. He has now taken a step further in his personal ability and has become more stable. So even if the Lakers don't keep him, he is currently very attractive to other teams. Moreover, Reeves has not received a contract worth hundreds of millions in his career. At this age, he really needs to pursue a higher salary contract.

For the Lakers, Reeves does not need to stay in the lineup next season. Because his personal characteristics are somewhat coincidental with Doncic. He also needs to hold the ball to a certain extent. Although his performance is very stable, judging from the long-term development of the team, it seems to be a better thing for the team to exchange him for an inside player. Besides, Reeves' performance in the playoffs does not seem to be particularly outstanding. The Lakers don’t have much problem with the outside, and the weaknesses in the inside are the main reasons that bother them. Moreover, Reeves' defensive ability is not that outstanding. He is a player who is completely more offensive than defense, so the Lakers may not be so urgent to keep him. I wonder what the fans think?
