90 million in 4 years! PJ Washington officially renews the contract, which is a reference for the Lakers. Can you put pressure on Reeves to renew the contract?

This summer, Reeves has rejected the Lakers' four-year offer of nearly 90 million in advance. The former is not without possibility of leaving the team tomorrow summer.

successfully attracted two Spurs defensive players, and this round showed Reeves' threat to hold the ball well. More importantly, when teammates have a good chance to score, they can pass the ball in time and effectively.

There is also the corresponding turn. Reeves's ball holding attracted Castle and Vinban Yama's defensive focus, thus creating an opportunity for overhead baskets for Davis to go down. In the 24-25 season, Reeves scored a total of 79 assists after breaking through, which is even more than James' 67 times.

has a certain shooting restraint, and the timeliness and accuracy of passing are also significantly improved. At this stage, Reeves is becoming more and more like double-season guards like Irving and Mitchell. There is a gap in efficiency, but to some extent the tactical role it plays is the same. Like Reeves, PJ Washington in the 24-25 seasons is also showing a progressive trend. To be precise, holding the investment is like this round. A simple three threat shook the opponent's defense center of gravity and then completed the dunk after the breakthrough.

Washington broke through 400 times in this season, and his breakthrough shooting rate of 49.4% can already match star strikers such as Butler (49.5%) and Randle (48.8%). In this defensive round alone, Washington showed defensive focus, prediction and agility. From another perspective, you can defend the opponent's offensive arrows.

For example, this round, the mobility is not inferior to Morant at all.

The reason why PJ Washington is said to be very important is that his contract renewal can serve as a reference for the Lakers.

According to the NBA China official website, PJ Washington Mavericks reached a four-year contract renewal of 90 million.

4 years of 90 million, which is good news for the Lakers, bringing pressure on Reeves to renew the contract.

Reason 1: Defensive end.

If only the offense is concerned, Washington is definitely not as good as Reeves. However, Reeves is not as good as the former when it comes to defense. In terms of data, Reeves' real positive and negative value for defense so far in his career is -0.4, and Washington's value is 0.0. I mean, Washington's defense is somewhat inefficient, which is not as disadvantageous as Reeves on the offensive end.

Reason 2: Position.

Washington is 203 in height, 75% of his career and plays the fourth position, while Reeves is 196 in height, 51% of his career and plays the second position. In other words, the former is the front line and the latter is the defender.

Relatively speaking, the front line is more valuable than the defender, and the difference in combat power between the two is not big. It should be noted that as mentioned earlier, Washington and Reeves each have their own advantages - the former has better defense and the latter has stronger offense.

To sum up the two points, we can understand it as:

First of all, with Reeves not having an absolute advantage over Washington, the Lakers can completely talk to Reeves according to Washington's contract extension.

Secondly, from the alliance perspective, Washington's renewal price can also serve as a reference. I mean, if the former renews the contract for 90 million yuan in four years, it will basically not offer Reeves a multi-year contract with an average salary of 30 million yuan.

Finally, Washington renewed its contract for 4 years and 90 million yuan. I think Reeves' renewal price is more reliable at 4 years and 100 million yuan.
