207 million in 4 years! 52.6 million in 1 year! The Lakers 17 players are hard to win the championship, the last dance of the full score group

New season and a new journey, many big teams from the east and west have completed signings and strengthening in the offseason, and winning the championship is the only goal, such as the Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets and Clippers in the West, and the Cavaliers and Knicks in the East. The Los Angeles Lakers are in the transition period from the James era to the Doncic era. The lineup depth is not as good as the top and the bottom. There is little hope for the championship but there is no reason to lie flat and play. The full-point combination can be lightly equipped, and the smooth handover of the torch is the main theme of the Lakers in the new season!

The Lakers were eliminated in the first round, and Haogang was used on the blade. Last season, the biggest change of the Lakers was that they completed an epic deal with the Mavericks on the eve of the mid-term trading day, sent away the champion's inside eyebrows and got Doncic, the big core holding the ball! This deal rewritten the Lakers' journey last season, but it is not enough to rewritten the Lakers' fate last season! During the regular season, the Lakers achieved a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, ranking 6th in the Western Conference, and went straight to the playoffs. The small ball offense led by James, Doncic and Reeves is pleasing to the eye. But in the playoffs, the Lakers were powerless to face the Timberwolves and were eliminated 1-4, with their inside shortcomings and defensive weaknesses exposed!

In this offseason, the biggest change for the Lakers was that Jenny Buss sold the team. The Lakers sold a sky-high price of 10 billion US dollars, setting a new record for professional sports. Even so, the Lakers are still careful in their budgets and have completed the reinforcement in a targeted manner. Good steel is used on the blade! First, after Lakers forward player Finney Smith joined the Rockets for 4 years and $52.7 million, the Lakers signed Laravi Adam with 12 million dollars for two years and $12 million; then, the Lakers signed Ayton for 16.2 million dollars for two years and $16.2 million, solving the problem of starting center; then, the Lakers signed Smart for 10.5 million dollars for two years and improved the backcourt defense. Finally, Doncic and the Lakers reached a three-year maximum salary contract of US$161 million! It is worth mentioning that the Lakers also gave Redick an early contract renewal!

4 USD 207 million, 52.6 million USD

The Lakers have made up for whatever they lack, which has improved the inside height and outside defense. But then again, whether the Lakers change the soup or not, everything depends on the full score combination! During this offseason, the Lakers did not renew their contract with James, nor did they renew their contract with Reeves, but they did not have any sloppy on Doncic's contract renewal. Last season, Doncic 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 Doncic. Even though he is a newcomer, even if he is not in his best physically and mentally, he is still a very rare and hard-earned core of the ball. After Doncic renews his contract, the total amount of the guaranteed contract in the next four years will reach US$207 million, but he has a higher goal, which is to wait until 28 years to sign a super maximum salary of US$418 million as a 10-year veteran, and recover the losses of being traded by the Mavericks. With emotion, reason and profit, Doncic will return with a stronger attitude in the new season!

During this offseason, James decided early to implement the player option worth US$52.6 million in the last year. This is the first time James has executed a player option in his career. The new season will be the first time James plays for the Lakers as the second in command! No matter what this means, we cannot deny the fact that the season James may be drifting away from us, and the regular James is still by our side. Last season, 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 up to 51.3%, which is old and stronger! Looking ahead to the new season, James' retreat to the second line may also be a relief. Advance can help Doncic lead the team forward, and retreat can accompany his son Brownie for the last journey. Why not do it? How happy it is!

The Lakers 17 players are hard to win the championship. The last dance of the full score group

Doncic's full score group is moving forward with heavy weight, opportunities and challenges coexist! The Lakers' 17-man roster is released, as follows: inside line - Ayton + Hays + Kolok (two-way contract), forward line - James + Van derbiao + Hachimura + Laravia + Kneckett + Cleber + Tiero, back line - + Doncic + Reeves + Smart + Vincent + Brownie + Nick Smith Jr. (two-way contract) + Mannon (two-way contract). Compared with last season, the cornerstone of the Lakers' lineup remains unchanged and the style of play will not change. The biggest variable is whether Ayton can fulfill his talent for the No. 1 pick and whether Smart can regain the DPOY style.

Lakers General Manager Pelinka once said: We believe that having the two stars James + Doncic 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. That being said, compared with the championship teams such as the Thunder, Nuggets, Rockets, Knicks, and Cavaliers, the Lakers are at a disadvantage in terms of lineup depth and balance between internal and external offense and defense. It is unlikely that the 17-man team will be able to win the championship! To take a step back, the Lakers renewed Doncic in advance but did not renew their contract with James. This may also be a signal: the new season may be the last dance of the full score group. The Lakers will move from the James era to the Doncic era. It doesn’t matter whether they can compete for the championship. Just lively and lively. Let’s cherish it! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
