Every year in July, after the NBA free agency market opened, teams fell into a time of crazy money, money was flying all over the sky, and large contracts were higher than the other. At the age of 39, LeBron James was once again offered a big contract, and the Lakers offered him a two-year, $104 million contract, and James had the right to veto the trade. This means that James plans to play for at least another two years with the Lakers and will not consider retiring anytime soon. Because if James only plans to play for another year, then there is no need to jump out of the final year of his $51.4 million contract, because the annual salary of the new contract is lower than the original contract.
And James' eldest son, Bronny James, was selected by the Lakers again and received a four-year, $7.9 million contract, with the first and second years fully guaranteed, the third year partially guaranteed, and the fourth year as a team option. Although the amount of this contract is not high, it is almost the highest treatment in the second-round show, and then I have to feel that Bronny has a good father, otherwise, with his poor performance of 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, and the three-point shooting rate of 36.6%, 26.7%, and 67.6%, let alone getting this contract, no team will pay attention to it in the draft.
Bronny's contract is four years, but in fact the full guarantee is only two years, and James's contract is also two years, which seems to have some relevance. The Lakers also seem to be prepared, that is, to wait for the expiration of James' contract to see the results, if James retires, then Bronny's contract is still not necessary. According to Bronny's talent and performance, he is unlikely to turn the tables against the wind in two years, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to play, and if James chooses to retire after two years, the Lakers will not leave Bronny to occupy a spot for nothing.
To put it bluntly, Bronny's contract was completely given by the Lakers in the face of James, and James father and son competing on the same stage became the first case in the NBA, but two years later, it is very likely that the father and son will retire at the same time. And the Lakers now have a helpless choice for business, and basically declare that there is no hope of competing for the championship in the next few years, but it is a pity that Brother Thick Eyebrows, the final peak may be wasted.
