On November 1, the new NBA regular season continues. In the recent period, Lakers guard Reeves has performed extremely well, which has also led to speculation about his contract. In this regard, two famous reporters, Bontemps and Windhorst, said that it is generally believed within the league that Reeves will start at 30 million.

Since the start of the new season, Reeves has performed amazingly. So far, Reeves has averaged 34.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 10 assists and 1.8 steals per game, ranking third in the league in points per game, third in assists per game, and 13th in steals per game. With James and Doncic unable to play due to injuries, Reeves shouldered the important task of leading the Lakers to win.

For this reason, Reeves' contract extension has become the focus of media and fans. Famous reporter Bontemps said that it is generally believed within the league that Reeves' annual salary will start at least US$30 million.

A Western Conference team executive commented on Reeves: "He has always been a very good player. Now that he can hold the ball and lead the team's offense, there will definitely be teams offering him a big contract next summer."

Another Western Conference team executive said Guan said that since Reeves can get a contract of up to four years and a total value of about US$180 million from other teams in the free agent market, if the Lakers provide a five-year contract extension with a higher total salary, it is a good compromise, which can also help Reeves stay in Los Angeles.
