There hasn't been a lot of news about the Lakers lately, but as soon as it comes, it's bound to cause controversy. NBA reporter Kevin O'Connor reported yesterday that the Lakers are considering Doncic to be the team's next face player after James retires.

The reporter said: "It is reported that the Lakers have had this idea for a long time, that is, their future target is Doncic. Even though the Mavericks have made it to the Finals and are doing better than the Lakers at this stage, it probably won't work. ”

It's crazy, if the Lakers bring in Doncic, with thick eyebrows, this combination is really explosive. Doncic is now a top 10 or even top 5 superstar in the league. In the regular season last season, he averaged 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 48.7% from the field and 38.2% from three-point range. In the playoffs, he averaged 28.9 points, 9.5 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game, shooting 44.6% from the field and 32.2% from three-point range.

Quite well-rounded, he was the top scorer last season. Doncic's current contract with the Mavericks expires after the 2026-27 season, but Doncic has a player option that allows him to jump out of his contract and become a free agent in 2026. If the Lakers want to have Doncic ahead of time, they will have to make a deal with the Mavericks before then.

This summer, James and the Lakers agreed to a two-year, $101 million contract extension, ending after the 2025-26 season. In the 2026 offseason, James could retire and Doncic become a free agent, which is a good time for the Lakers to launch a fierce pursuit of Doncic.

But then again, it's not impossible for James to play one more year and retire until 2027. Because in 2026, Bryce will enter the NBA, and James can choose to realize the great scene of father and son competing on the same stage at that time.

Lakers owner Jeanie Buss also recently spoke about James' contract extension, saying, "He's the highest-paid player on our team, but his salary is still a good deal in my opinion. We are a league with a salary cap and we can only give him so much money...... He's in the same situation as Magic and Kobe, who probably should have been paid twice as much as the actual salary, but we had to give him a cap. ”

However, James' 2-year $101 million contract extension also took the initiative to reduce his salary by 3 million, so that James can help the Lakers lower than the second local tyrant line, so as to make it easier to recruit and pay less luxury tax.

The Lakers will take advantage of James' last two or three years of career and work hard. Use James's commercial value to make a lot of money, and then dare to spend money to introduce other supergiants when the time comes. even said that he was willing to bet on the future of the team and give away all the draft picks.

The Lakers' vision has always been incomprehensible, and Christie is seen as a link in the future. In the offseason, the Lakers extended Christie's contract for 4 years and 32 million, and last season he played in 67 games, averaging 4.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per game.

Another Lakers young player has worked hard, with Los Angeles Times reporter Dan Woike reporting that Schifino worked hard and worked hard in the offseason and was highly rated. Last season, Schifino was affected by injuries, playing in 21 games, averaging 1.6 points, 0.6 rebounds and 0.4 assists per game, shooting 22.2% from the field and 13.3% from three-point range.

Bronny spent most of this offseason in the arena except for going to Paris to watch his dad play. The trainer posted a clip of Bronny's workout, dribbling under the crotch, stepping back for three points, and continuing to hone his skills.

Aside from your ball skills, you can obviously be a rich second generation and travel every day. But after cardiac arrest, he still took the risk to chase his dreams, and Brownie is quite admirable. I hope to play the value as soon as possible and impress those who spit on him.
