Austin Reaves is set to make more money next season than SGA,Tyrese Maxey, Kyrie Irving, and Jalen Brunson. 😳💰
He’ll earn $41.25 million in 2026–27 — nearly as much as he’s made in his entire NBA career combined.
The Hornets, who now own a $40.7 million trade exception after moving LaMelo Ball, can absorb these notable salaries within it:
Kyrie Irving = $39.5 million
Derrick White = $30.3 million
Trey Murphy III = $27 million
Myles Turner = $26.6 million
Charlotte is up to something.
The Raptors will likely pursue Kawhi Leonard with a trade package centered around Brandon Ingram and draft compensation if the Clippers star becomes available this summer.
Toronto and the two-time NBA champion would have mutual interest in a reunion, per @JakeLFischer.
