"There is a catch. A team with cap room can offer Reaves up to four years, with the last two years as high as a maximum salary. The offering franchise would need up to $24.7 million in cap room, but a max deal would have the following structure:
- Year 1: $11,368,000 (non-taxpayer mid-level exception)
- Year 2: $11,936,400 (five percent raise)
- Year 3: $36,850,000 (as if he were paid the maximum in years 1 and 2)
- Year 4: $38,525,000 (4.5 percent raise)
- Total: $98,679,400"
Reaves may not get near the max, but he could be worth a price similar to what the Atlanta Hawks just paid to Bogdan Bogdanović in a four-year, $68 million extension. A team with $17 million in cap space could give Reaves a salary of $11.4 million for 2023-24 that would then bump to about $21.9 million for 2025-26."
Based on a $162 million threshold, the tax bill projects to be $36.8-104.5 million. Reaves at $1.8 million instead of $11.9 million would have saved the franchise a lot of money."
Lakers arent paying a crazy tax bill for Reaves unless they win a ring
