Today, media ClutchPoints expressed his opinion on social media about Reeves' rejection of the Lakers' four-year, $89.2 million contract renewal:

"History always repeats itself in a strange way in Los Angeles. A few years ago, Dennis Schroeder refused the Lakers' 84 million contract renewal offer, betting that he could get a bigger contract.

In the end, the market was cold and his value plummeted, and his career in Los Angeles came to an abrupt end. The league once regarded this as a negative teaching material, a lesson about modesty, indicating that not all gambling is rewarded.

Now, Austin Reeves embarked on the same path. According to Dan Woikes reported that he had just refused the Lakers' early contract renewal for 4 years and 89.2 million. Most players like him would not reject this contract that would take several lifetimes. But Reeves believes that his value is not only reflected in numbers, but also in roles, opportunities, and the core puzzle identity that is indispensable in the Lakers' future. Like Schroeder, he is also gambling. But this time, the bet feels different. Because we all know, Reeves is sure that his growth is far from over."
