Exactly. But the Lakers would have been paying it. They had to match.
AR is a good player, but not worth that money

Why didn't any other team offer more thus drive the price up for the Lakers?
Were they ordered by the league not to?
Or is it just bad karma?
Tryin to think if teams have done this in the past just to jack w other teams.
Dunno, that's less than we are paying Devin ($100/4yrs vs $150/5yrs), and you can argue that Reaves has been better (especially once he got out of that big shooting slump in October and November). He'd fit quite nicely into the lineup either in place of Tre, or by bumping Devin up to SF (benching Champagnie), and Reaves at SG...
The lack of activity/interest on FA's this past summer does fit in with my theory that PAFTO tanked a second season to put more talent around Wemby.
Vassell’s contract is 5/135. His incentives are such that it’s incredibly difficult to hit and if he does you’d gladly pay him.
As for Reaves, he’s a good player and he deserved a better contract than the one he got.
Putting the offer would have put cap space on hold. Needed the money to get a couple of throwaway SRPs for Osman and Payne
They tanked by asking Sochan to airball his wide open 3s, Zollins to regress to stiff status, Branham or Blake to stay lost on the court and everybody to ignore Victor on offense to have a shot at (maybe) a future role player... That's one master, collective plan.
Didn’t have to offer the full 100 mil. He signed for 4/52 so coulda just thrown 75-80 which he’d take and worse case the lakers match it and pay more than they are now. Instead he’s on a bargain contract
The individual players have no part in a tank. A tank is when management/coaching is making decisions that are intended to get less wins than could be achieved with a given roster. Some obvious examples: Point Sochan, minimizing Wemby's minutes whenever there was an opportunity, not trying to bring in FA's to improve the team...
Timing-wise the Spurs used that money to acquire the 2030 unprotected swap from Dallas.
What's weird about Reaves this season is that his on-off stat has gone from great to awful. Last year he was +8.7 and this year he is -4.5.
When looking closely the issue is on the defensive end with Lakers being significantly worst when he is on the court. I don't know (nor care) if it's mostly because he is a defensive liability or if it's on the teammates he is pared with.
yeah last year he held up as a reasonable defender per the advanced stats, but totally fell off this year. not sure if its a consequence of him just getting targeted more, but on that team, i cant imagine "try picking on the unathletic white guy" was a new revelation this season
He started 22 games last year, this year, 47. So he’s been playing a lot more against starters. That has to be a factor.
Agreed
Devin is better defensively though
Brian Billy Beane Wright can make up the points in the aggregate. If Vassell was playing with AD and Lebron he'd probably do ok.
Again, why didn't the Spurs or any other team?
Was well known the Flamers wanted to re sign Reeves.
Make some phone calls and find out please.
nah...
if they offered reaves 15-20 mil per year, they could have done so just by waiting on re-signing Tre for ~9 and not making the Payne trade at that time. the spurs had a lot of cap room to play with
put those hands firmly around your ankles, and I'll give you Payne and some cap room to play with
I like the Billy Beane reference. Totally appropriate in Wright’s case.
Dudes too good on 2k24 though...
Get with me for payment
shiiiiiitDudes too good on 2k24 though...
My TV dieded a few months ago, haven't replaced it yet because I'm not watching that much tv tbh
But I haven't played 2k in a while though
??
He gets picked apart on defense.
If we signed Reaves to a contract just to monkey with LAL, we couldn't have done the Bullock trade.
This dude having a meltdown and crying himself to sleep over Spurs fans not being head over heals with the utter defensive black hole that is Branham is saying that REAVES gets picked apart on defense? His DBPM is slightly negative and he was positive last year. I can only imagine what you would say if Branham was as good a defender as Reaves.
