The NBA regular season has entered the final stage, as the championship favorite before the start of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers played quite hard, the big three Westbrook has been in a bad state, the thick eyebrows have not played a few games seriously, the team has been relying on the 37-year-old Zhan painstakingly supported, and finally the Lakers missed the playoffs early.
As a veteran who is about to turn forty, James can still play a quasi-scoring performance, which makes many fans feel very impressed. As the face of the league, the Los Angeles Lakers also know that there is James in the ticket revenue and topicality, and the Management of the Lakers is also doing its best to retain James, who is still at its peak! Recently, according to the well-known basketball blogger "Sports Green Leaf", according to relevant news, the Lakers have sent James a 2-year 97.5 million super pension contract (the Lakers have shown their greatest sincerity, and the league has stipulated that players after the age of 38 can only sign a contract for up to two years)!
James's contract will take effect in the 2023-2024 season, when James will be 40 years old, which means that the forty-year-old man can still get a huge contract of 48.75 million yuan, which translates into more than 310 million yuan. The 40-year-old can still get such a big contract for the first time in the league. For the sincerity of the Lakers' senior management, James naturally understands, but James is not satisfied, he is not willing to sign this huge veteran contract immediately, and old Zhan put forward 2 rather harsh conditions. The Lakers will only sign the contract if they agree to these two conditions.
James's first condition is that he must make his own agency Omar Wilkes as the general manager of the Lakers, fans know that James also has a nickname called Manager Zhan, because his position in the team is very important, many team decisions have to make James nod, but this time James is going to the Lakers management really to install his own people, which is a big challenge for the lakers.
The superstars of the NBA have enjoyed the treatment that the team must nod through their own reinforcements or layoffs, but the direct appointment of the team's top candidates, James is still the only one, to know that the year as strong as Kobe Bryant did not dare to do so! But the Lakers are the super giants of the NBA, and they must carefully consider James's request.
Another requirement of James is that the Lakers must change the coach as soon as possible, which is actually not required by James, the Lakers have a bad record, Vogel has been rumored to be in the next class, and now that the season has ended early, Vogel has entered the countdown to the end of the class. I believe that James also knows this clearly, I don't know if he proposed that the Lakers change the coach as soon as possible, whether there is also his own candidate is not clear.
The reason why James put forward such a harsh 2-point requirement after the Lakers sent a huge veteran contract is mainly to pave the way for his eldest son Brownie! Many fans may know that James' son Brownie is similar to many second generations, his basketball talent is far worse than his father James, and even many scouts think that Brownie does not have the ability to play in the NBA, which also has to let James plan ahead.
Brownie wants to get a contract in the NBA league to enter the league to play is quite difficult, and James's own appointment of the Lakers' general manager and head coach can clear the obstacles, when the son participates in the draft, James's designated Omar Wilkes can sign Brownie, James's designated head coach can give Brownies a higher team tactical status, to ensure that the eldest son Brownie can play the main force.
If the report of "Sports Green Leaf" is true, it can only be said that James loves his son, whether it is Jordan or James's friend Wade, their son can't play the NBA, Lao Tzu also has no way, but James does not believe in evil, the next contract will pave the way for his son, forcibly open the scene of father and son competing on the same stage, in fact, it does not make much sense, and even in the end it is possible to punch himself and his son Brownie.
