Recently, Lakers reporter Buha talked about Reeves' refusal to renew his contract in advance in his program.

Buha said: "I have been saying that Reeves will reject the early contract renewal in the past few months. The starting salary of that contract is about $20 million, which is lower than his market price. I have also been saying that next summer, whether it is the Lakers or other teams, Reeves will receive an annual salary of $30 million in the free market."

Then Buha said: "I can confirm that Reeves wants to stay with the Lakers, which is his plan. He hopes to retire as a Lakers player. His team hopes to sign a new multi-year contract with the Lakers next summer. So there is no new news. I expect Reeves to continue to be a Lakers player next season, and the Lakers will continue to build teams around Doncic, LeBron and Reeves."
