52.6 million US dollars in 1 year! 165 million US dollars in 3 years! James sees the reality clearly, Luca is the face of the Lakers

Lakers General Manager Pelinka said in a program: We believe that having two stars, James + Luca, is an important moment for the team, and we will continue to do everything we can to win the 18th championship trophy in team history. If there are clever ways to help our championship goals for next season, we will take action without hesitation. As the new season gets closer, what smart ways do the Lakers have to upgrade their lineup around James Luca? Wiggins may be the Lakers' favorite, but in the words of an NBA executive, Riley is still angry about James leaving the Heat. How could he send Wiggins to the Lakers to help James compete for the championship? At least from the current situation, whether the Lakers can maintain competitiveness in the new season depends on James and Luca!

1 USD 52.6 million, James created history

Still the world changes, James still stands tall and majestic, the older he gets, the more evil he gets! Last season, James, who was over 40 years old, was the oldest player in the NBA league, but he still wrote about extraordinaryness and greatness! James played 70 games for the Lakers, averaging 24.4 points + 7.8 rebounds + 8.2 assists + 1 steal + 2.1 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 51.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%. Of course, James in the regular season can strike hard, but James in the playoffs gradually loses his past game influence. In the five games of the playoffs, James averaged 25.4 points + 9 rebounds + 5.6 assists + 2 steals + 1.8 blocks + 2 three-pointers, with a shooting percentage of 48.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.7%, but he still couldn't stop the Lakers from being eliminated 1-4 in the first round of the playoffs. According to statistics, this is the first time in his career that James has been out of the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years!

During this offseason, James decided early to implement the player option worth $52.6 million in the last year. According to statistics, this is the first time that James has implemented a player option in his career. As the saying goes, if something goes wrong, there will be evil! I don’t know if this means that the new season will be the last dance of James’ Lakers’ career, and I don’t know where James will be next summer or whether he will take the initiative to cut his salary, but one thing is certain that James still firmly controls his destiny, creates history, and has a sure victory! According to statistics, after James's total career salary after executing the player option reached 584 million US dollars, setting a new NBA record he has maintained. At the same time, the new season will be the 23rd season of James' career, and he will become the first player in NBA history to unlock 23 seasons, unprecedented.

3 years of $165 million, Luca successfully lost weight

Luca did not expect that he would become a member of the Lakers. The Lakers never thought that he could fall like Luca from the sky, and it just happened to hit him on the head. More importantly, Luca spent only half a season illuminating the Lakers' reshaping path for the next ten years. Last season, Luca played 28 regular season games for the Lakers, averaging 28.2 points + 8.1 rebounds + 7.5 assists + 1.6 steals per game; in five games of the playoffs, Doncic averaged 30.2 points + 7 rebounds + 5.8 assists + 1 steal. This is the contemporary magician Luca. Even though his figure and body shape are not in his best condition, he still demonstrates his unique big core superpower with the ball.

During this offseason, the Lakers did not give James a new contract renewal, but they did not hesitate about Luca's contract renewal. The two sides decided early on a three-year, $165 million early contract renewal. What is even more commendable is that Luca did not choose to lie down because she was happy to have a big contract, but instead worked hard during the offseason to successfully lose weight! In the European Cup that ended earlier, Luka won the points, with averaging 49.9 points per game, accounting for 54.2% of the team's total score. Both data ranked first in the European Cup, leading Slovenia to the semi-finals. Obviously, this is Luca's declaration, and he uses the game instead of training. I believe he will lead the Lakers to continue to create miracles in a better state.

With James see the reality clearly, Luca is the face of the Lakers

The new season is approaching, and James is in high spirits. He updated the social media to post a selfie video of listening to songs in a luxury car and quoted the lyrics: Take away the money and take care of your own business! Rather than saying that Zhan let himself go, it is better to say that Zhan has seen the reality clearly: I have nothing to prove, making money is the bottom line, and everything else is arbitrary! But for Luca, he took over the torch from James's hand and shouldered the mission of leading the Lakers to reshape the glory, and had a long way to go! Luca emphasizes every day that his goal is to win the championship. He believes that the management will do its best to help him do all this. The Lakers also attach great importance to Luca. They believe that Luca is the new future appearance of the Lakers! As for the championship, don’t be too hasty if you have a long time to go! But do good things and don’t ask about the future! I hope Zhan can start and end well, and I hope Luca can dream come true! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
