The thing with Reaves is that signing him to any deal, at this point, is probably a mistake.

Signing him to a multi-year deal? Good god. Because of his age, it'll be a 35+ contract, which means it stays on the books even if he retires. And ... why would you give a goon who's going to be 37 in January more than one year?

.... what if it's three years?
