Signed! Rejoin the Lakers! The third NBA trade veto

The Lakers' substitute center has, and Hayes re-signed the Purple and Gold Army with a one-year contract.

In this regard, the Lakers have collected a 15-man roster, as follows:

Doncic, James, Reeves, Hachimura and Ayton;

Brownie, Vincent, Kneckett, Goodwin and Hayes;

Milton, Laravia, Thiero, Vanderbilt and Cleber.

After Brother Davis was traded to the Mavericks last season, Hayes played the role of the Lakers as the main center. He started 35 times in 56 games in the regular season, averaged 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage was as high as 72.2%. He played in all four games in the playoffs, but he averaged only 7.8 minutes per game, scoring 1.8 points and 2 rebounds.

It is worth mentioning that Hayes has the right to trade veto in the new season, which is comparable to James and Bill. Currently, these three players in the NBA have this authority.

Because in the 25-26 season, the third season of Hayes for the Lakers will be obtained after that season, so the trade veto power that the next year can protect your Bird clause from being interrupted by the transaction. The

Bird clause is a salary exception in the league's labor and capital agreement, allowing the team to renew the free agent who has played for a certain period of time when it exceeds the salary cap. For example, the full Bird right can be triggered for three consecutive years.

The Lakers' most important task next is to complete the early renewal of Doncic, who will be eligible to sign a new contract worth up to $229 million for a period of up to four years, or it may be about $165 million for a short period of about three years, and the third year player option.

Last season, Doncic played 28 regular season games for the Lakers, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.6 interruptions per game. In the playoffs, he averaged 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1 assist. He proved that he could shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the Purple and Gold Army and was gradually taking over the team's banner from James.

The Doncic Wizards, born in 1999, are 26 years old. The peak period is still many years. At least the next five years will be the cornerstone of the team building, so he deserves any highest sincerity maximum salary to renew his contract in advance. The Lakers management is not as crazy as the Mavericks management, and has always provided the "money tree".

By the way, I heard that Doncic has lost a lot of weight and is looking forward to the most explosive year of his career in the new season!
