From a maximum salary of 150 million to a super maximum salary of 420 million, you can earn 570 million in 8 years! Is the championship still important?

During the offseason this summer, many NBA stars have won the coveted big contract. After Booker bid farewell to Bill and Durant, he continued to stay in the Suns for 145 million yuan in two years and continued to stay in the Suns, arguing that the market was absent from Alexander for 285 million yuan in four years and Thunder, and Homgren averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds per game and could also get a maximum salary of 239 million yuan in five years and 5 years; and Fox, to put it bluntly, he can not even be considered a first-tier star in the league. He can also get a maximum salary of 229 million yuan from the Spurs, with an average salary of 57.25 million US dollars! As long as you are still young and as long as you show certain talents in the league, there will be no shortage of big contracts. In contrast, Doncic's three-year maximum salary renewal of 165 million yuan seems inconspicuous (actually 161 million yuan, and the salary cap increase is less than expected). After the Lakers officially announced that they had completed the contract renewal with Doncic, famous reporter Charania reported two news. First of all, James was very calm. He enjoyed his own vacation and expressed support and understanding of the Lakers' preference for building a future lineup around Doncic. Secondly, Doncic's maximum salary contract of 161 million is actually just regarded as 106 million for two years, because in the last year he will definitely break out of the player option of $59.2 million in order to renew a super maximum salary contract with the Lakers for up to 417 million for five years in the summer of 28. Doncic first signed a short contract to get more money in the future. It is also an inspection period for the Lakers to see how the team continues to consolidate its position as a champion competitor.

Let's talk about how much money Doncic can make! Doncic's salary next season is US$46 million, and then he will execute a 2+1 contract with the Lakers. The salary in the first two years will be RMB51.03 million and US$55.12 million respectively. By the 28-29 season, the player option worth RMB59.2 million can be refused execution and instead sign a 5-year maximum salary of RMB417 million. That is, from the 28-29 season, Doncic's salary in the next five years will be: 71.7 million + 77.43 million + 83.62 million + 90.31 million + 97.54 million US dollars! Doncic basically locked in to become the first 80 million and 90 million men in NBA history. From next season to the 32-33 season, in 8 years, Doncic can take away a total of 570 million US dollars, and his average salary has exceeded 70 million. What is this level?

James played in the NBA for 22 seasons, including the salary of $52.6 million in the next season, and earned a total of 583 million in 23 years! Curry has been the first in the league for many years and has earned a total of $536 million in his career! Paul has only earned 400 million in the NBA for 20 years. Harden has always cut his salary in the past few years, and his total salary in his career is only 427 million yuan, and Leonard has 429 million yuan. However, in 4 years, the boss or second-in-command of each team can basically reach the total salary level of Paul and Harden in their careers with a maximum salary contract! In the words of the US media, even if it is not Doncic, Fox's total salary (417 million) has surpassed Paul's. What a wonderful basketball era!

First of all, Doncic, Alexander, Edwards, Jokic and Antetokounmpo, are indeed worth a super maximum salary. They are all in their first five levels of the league. Naturally, they can get as much as the maximum salary stipulated. Especially Doncic, if he had not been traded by the Mavericks, he would have received a super maximum salary of 345 million in 5 years, which originally belonged to him. But does Doncic really have a chance to win the championship in the Lakers? There are still two small things. First, the Mavericks revealed that the news he has shown that Doncic has repeatedly expressed that he hopes to continue fighting side by side with James. But the Lakers management attitude is that James is old and will find a new partner for Doncic after James' contract expires tomorrow.

Secondly, although the Lakers' boss replaced, the new boss team has not had a high degree of participation in the team, and Jenny Buss' team has continued to operate, and they have not tried to change the team's operational method. It can be simply understood as: Jenny Bass cashed out at a high position, the new boss is satisfied with the Lakers' lineup system, and the team is not afraid of James leaving because he found his new store Doncic, and Doncic accepted a three-year contract renewal and tied to a super maximum salary for the next 5 years. Everything seems to be natural! But what have the Lakers done since they won the championship in the Bubble Park? Tax avoidance is an eternal topic, and pragmatism is the basic goal (for example, after seeing James execute the player options this summer, he only added Laravia + Aiton + Smart, just to please Doncic).

The Lakers may not really want to compete for the championship, and Doncic may not really think that the Lakers are at the level of winning the championship. He also wants inheritance and decency! With the Lakers' lineup, James leaves tomorrow, can the Lakers recruit Antetokounmpo and Jokic to assist Doncic? If not found, the Lakers' expiration contracts such as Hachimura Hiramiya + Vincent + Claiber, and Reeves may jump out of the player option to seek maximum salary contracts tomorrow summer, the team is in a mess. Doncic may not be worried. He has a "exploration period" for the Lakers for 2-3 years, waiting for the next big contract; the Lakers are not worried because they have bound Doncic, but as for the championship, it is not that important. After the Mavericks' transaction, it may be his own.
