Reaves and LeBron’s Future Together

Reaves and LeBron’s Future Together

Author: The Daily News Now! June 7, 2026 Duration: 1:26

Lakers’ future hinges on two stars: Austin Reaves, the rising star who’s built his career alongside LeBron, and LeBron himself, entering the final stretch of his legendary run. Reaves, who’s grown from bench player to starter under LeBron’s mentorship, says staying with the Lakers would mean everything — not just for his career, but for their bond. With $50M in cap space, the Lakers can theoretically keep both, but LeBron’s next move — and how much the team’s willing to pay him at 42 — remains uncertain. Reaves, meanwhile, is seeking a max deal, raising the stakes: will the Lakers match it, or will another team swoop in? This is the moment Reaves proves he’s more than just a role player — and LeBron decides where his legacy ends.
