Annual salary is at least 30 million! Reeves is expected to renew his contract with the Lakers: his long-term partner Doncic + called Kobe GOAT

On August 7, according to several ESPN reporters, Reeves is expected to renew his contract with the Lakers with an annual salary of 30 million + an annual salary and partner with Doncic for a long time; in addition, during his trip to China, Reeves said: Kobe is the best in history in my heart.

Bobby Marks, Dave McMenamin and other famous reporters wrote about some of the situations in the Lakers, which wrote: "A league executive revealed to ESPN: 'I think he (Reeves) will get an annual salary of more than $30 million,' which has also been recognized by many sources."

They also said: When asked about the potential value of Reeves' next contract, many executives in the league generally believed that Reeves would eventually stay in Los Angeles, which will also consolidate his long-term role in the Lakers' backcourt with Doncic. This position was once held by Jaylen Brunson in Dallas and later by Kyrie Irving.

Doncic has renewed the contract with the Lakers for a three-year, $165 million contract in advance, and is expected to renew the super maximum salary of $417 million in 2028.

Currently, Reeves has two years left in the contract with the Lakers, with an annual salary of US$13.94 million in the 25-26 season and a player option of US$14.9 million in the 26-27 season; Lakers reporters previously reported that Reeves rejected the Lakers' four-year, US$89.2 million contract this summer.

By the summer of 2026, Reeves can renew his five-year, $246.7 million super maximum salary with the Lakers, or sign a four-year, $182.9 million large contract with other teams.

It is worth mentioning that Reeves is in China. During the period, he talked about the candidate for GOAT in his heart. Reeves bluntly said: "Bryant is the GOAT in my heart, and I am his number one fan."

Last season, the 27-year-old Reeves played 73 regular season games for the Lakers, and averaged 34.9 minutes per game to score 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals. What kind of contract will he sign with the Lakers next summer? I can only wait and see.
