The Lakers renewed their contract with Doncic early for 3 years of 165 million! In the summer of 2028, they are eligible to receive 417 million in five years of 5 years

According to ESPN reporter Shams, WME basketball agent Bill Duffy revealed that the Lakers renewed their contract with Doncic early for three years of $165 million, of which 2028 is the player option.

At this point, Doncic will not be able to become a free agent next summer, but will continue to play for the Lakers. He is still qualified to receive a five-year, super maximum salary contract of $417 million in the summer of 2028.

Six months after leaving the Mavericks, Doncic, who joined Los Angeles, received a three-year, $165 million early contract renewal from the Lakers. After receiving the big contract, Doncic was naturally very happy. He also updated his social media updates and expressed his commitment to donate $5 million to help 77 young athletes around the world pursue their dreams. Doncic also expressed that he hopes these players can be like they were back then; basketball gave it to himself, and was lucky to be able to give back and use his abilities to help the next generation.

At the same time, Cic also expressed that he would do his best to lead the Lakers to the championship, thanking the Lakers for their acceptance and kindness to themselves and their family.

Subsequently, salary expert Bobby Mark revealed the details of Tsingqi's new contract, which is as follows:

$51 million for the 26-27 season, 55.1 million for the 27-28 season, and 59.2 million for the 28-29 season.

When Doncic played for the Mavericks last season, he averaged 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 35.4%. After being traded to the Lakers, he played 28 regular season games for the team, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists, and 1.6 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.9%. In the playoffs, he averaged 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1 steal per game, with a shooting percentage of 45.2% and a three-point shooting percentage of 34.8%.

Whether in the Lakers, Mavericks, or in the regular season or the playoffs, Doncic's performance is quite stable, which is what a top superstar should have.

The biggest task of the Lakers management has been completed this summer, which is to complete an early contract renewal with Doncic and keep the top superstar in Los Angeles to play. At this point, as fans, we should also understand such a thing. The Lakers will successfully transition from the James era to the Doncic era. James's core boss status is about to be given up. Most of the Lakers' ball rights in the new season are likely to be in Doncic's hands. He can play like Harden in 2017 and 2018, and play unparalleled offensive performance.

Perhaps it was because he missed the championship while playing for the Mavericks, or the Lakers fell in the first round of the playoffs last season, so that Doncic worked hard to lose weight this summer offseason; and he completed his body shape reshaping, he also won the big contract offered by the Lakers, which is a double happiness.

In terms of lineup configuration, the Lakers won the No. 1 pick center Ayton and the former league's best defensive player Smart, and the overall strength of the team's internal and external lines has been improved. But apart from that, the management has no other heavyweight deals, and it is likely that the Lakers will get more salary space after James' contract expires next summer, which is the best time for the Lakers to have epic signings.

is just a bit embarrassing. I wonder if the Lakers management will trade James, or make him a free agent next summer.

But this does not prevent the Lakers from launching an attack on the championship in the new season. It is also a good opportunity for Doncic to pursue his first regular season MVP in his career; after all, Alexander had won the MVP and the championship trophy at the same time, so he could not fall behind.
