The NBA's free-market Where to Go durant is still continuing, and the Lakers, another team that is also in the whirlpool of rumors a few days ago, has also been full of news recently. To put it simply, what the Lakers are doing at the moment is to seek to send away Wei Shao while completing the reinforcement of the lineup and increasing the pressure sharing place for Zhan Mei in the new season. From the initial Irving to the follow-up Turner and Hield to Randall, but there has been no substantial progress, as far as the current Lakers' lineup is concerned, they want to have a plan in the new season, and it is imperative to seek changes. 98 million in 2 years! Congratulations James, congratulations to the thick eyebrows! The Lakers officially announced that everything is ready only to trade Wei Shao.
This offseason, James can renew his contract in advance, but the extension has not been mentioned, plus there has been news that the Cavaliers intend to welcome Back James next year, to know that the Cavaliers currently have excellent young players, good lineup strength, but also have enough salary space, coupled with James's feelings for the Cavaliers, which seems to indicate that James will return to the Warriors. But according to the latest news, the Cavaliers undoubtedly James, and the Lakers have the latest moves. According to the lakers reporter Joe Vardon, the Lakers made a latest decision, is expected to provide James with a 2-year 98 million DOLLAR contract extension, according to the rules the Lakers can only give James a maximum of 2 years of contract. Joe Vardon also added that James was happy in Los Angeles by bluntly stating to those around him. James's children are in Los Angeles, and his wife is there, so it's clear that James is unlikely to choose to leave in this situation. All indications are that it is only a matter of time before James completes the contract extension with the Lakers.
It is worth mentioning that according to earlier reports, James and his two sons appeared in the Lakers training hall, trained, and the Camera also appeared in the Lakers assistant coach Handy, the eldest son Brownie's earliest participation in the draft is 2024, the second son's earliest participation in the draft is 2026, if James reaches the age of 42, then it is likely to achieve the father and son three on the same stage. Getting an early contract extension is still worth celebrating for James, after all, Guago, who is still unemployed among the same players, is still the team's star, with a maximum salary contract.
James's contract extension is also good news for Thick Brow, after all, after coming to the Lakers to form the Zhan Mei combination, they won the championship, which is the first championship of Thick Brow, if James does not renew the contract and leaves the Lakers, it will be left with Thick Brow himself, he is likely to return to the state of the Pelicans period again and become the owner of the empty cutting group.
In this way, the future core of the future Lakers is still James + thick eyebrows, so one of the things the Lakers need to do in the follow-up time is to find a way to trade away Wei Shao, and you must know that last season the Lakers used a season to prove that the 360 combination was not their final answer. A season has not been able to solve this problem, and it is clear that if the new season is still 360 as the core, they will inevitably follow the same path as last season. Recently, there has been no substantial progress in the various plans for the Lakers to trade Westbrook, mainly because few teams in Westbrook, which have become negative assets, are willing to accept it, and even if they accept it, they need the Lakers to post more chips in the future. The Lakers are currently reluctant to hollow out the future again, after all, they now have only two future draft picks left.
What the follow-up situation will still depend on how the Lakers management will operate, after all, James's next decline in status is specified, after all, the age is here.
