Summary
Austin Reaves spent Labor Day weekend on a boat in Mexico with girlfriend Jenna Barber after securing a new four-year contract to remain with the Lakers.
The deal was first reported at $185 million, but Reaves reportedly accepted $180 million, giving Los Angeles slightly more salary-cap flexibility.
Reaves enters next season with a larger role after LeBron James' departure, while Luka Doncic remains in place as the Lakers reshape their core.
23 points per game last season helped drive the payday, capping Reaves' rise from undrafted guard to one of the franchise's top-paid players.
