Reaves has proved he’s a legitimate NBA player. His next challenge is establishing himself as a core piece on a championship team — and that he’s worth the requisite investment. The four-year, $54 million extension Reaves signed in 2023 has become one of the best value contracts in basketball. He is eligible to sign a four-year, $89.2 million extension this summer, which would replace his $14.9 million option year in 2026-27 with Year 1 of the extension. He could also wait until the summer of 2026 when he’d be eligible for a four-year, $98 million extension, or opt out of the final year of his contract, become an unrestricted free agent and be eligible for 25% of whatever the salary cap is set at for 2026-27.
