Austin Reaves had a breakout season last year, culminating in a huge role during the Lakers' postseason run to the Western Conference finals. As a restricted free agent in the offseason, Reaves was then able to cash in signing a four-year, $56 million contract to stay in Los Angeles.
While the guard never wanted to leave the Lakers, other teams were interested in trying to sign him, including the Spurs. On The Lowe Post with Zach Lowe, Reaves admitted that he briefly considered the Spurs before choosing to return to the Lakers.
“It definitely creeps into your mind, obviously, a little bit of talks back and forth, something possibly coming to life,” Reaves said. “But I didn’t think there was any way the Lakers didn’t match whatever was offered.”
