    I’m sure his representative is asking for that.Thats his job working for AR.What he eventually gets is probably something different.

    source is definitely the agent, probably meaning we've already indicated we'd like to sign him for less. the dance begins.

    seems the Lakers reddit is very much against signing him at that price.

    His max is 41 mil in year 1.

    I think his contract amount is much less of a concern versus the LeBron contract

    I’m sorry, but if we sign AR for more than 40 million it’s going to be a bad idea.

    Why don’t we go on record with the amount you believe Reaves first year contract will be and the max number you would support.

    I think he will sign for between 35 to 37 million and I would be ok with signing him up to 41 million.

    i'm fine up to max, but hoping for something closer to 35 just for flexibility. again, i'd take max descending as a compromise, but 35 escalating is basically 5/200 and max descending is only 180 total, if my math is right. 5 years flat at 40 per could also make some sense.

    i feel like 200 million guaranteed should be enough. brunson took 4/156, which is pretty close in AAV, and i'd point to that if i'm on the lakers side of the negotiating table.
