AR-15 has wrapped his second year with the Los Angeles Lakers, becoming a fan favorite in the process, but he is now a restricted free agent. Once free agency starts, Reaves will begin contract negotiations with all 30 teams, including the Lakers, who can match any deal.
Additionally, Reaves will receive his first signature shoe, the AR-1, as a part of his new deal with Rigorer.
If you would have told me I’d have had a signature shoe at 18, I’d have looked at you and called you a liar.
