James may be on a contract extension. The source is Lakers reporter Winhorst, according to him, the James team is currently in talks with the Lakers for a three-year one800 million contracts. Since James joined the Lakers, it has always been a 1+1 contract system with a second-year player option. In general, few players dare to try this kind of play.
In a highly competitive league like the NBA, season reimbursement or level declines often occur, so whether it is an agent or a player, most people prefer to sign every five years, so that basically what accidents occur during the contract period can be avoided by the length of the contract. Sadly, James is an exception.
On the one hand, Lao Zhan's physical fitness is too **, even if he is over thirty years old, James rarely has a major injury at the season reimbursement level, and in most cases, when the team needs him to stand up, he can always complete the physical maintenance and comeback in time; On the other hand, James has the best individual ability, even if he is close to forty years old, he never worries about his performance on the court.
Being on the pitch can change a team, that's the confidence of a historic superstar. Of course, there is also a rather important aspect, James's terrible business influence and ability to carry goods. Whether it is the Cavaliers, Heat, or Lakers, during James's tenure, the team's income ranked among the top three in the league, and the tickets and peripherals were sold softly, even from an economic point of view, the benefits brought by James are completely worth the investment.
So back to the contract, James, who previously preferred to sign 1+1, suddenly changed to 2+1, which proves two things. First, James is aware of his aging, and at the very least, James is starting to extend his contract time and plan for his future. Second, three years later, James will be 43 years old, and this may be the last contract of his career.
Third, if James completes the signing with the Lakers before the start of the draft, it means that Bronny's candidacy may not affect James's selection. At the same time, it also means that Bronny may continue to settle in the NCAA, after all, Lao Zhan still has two years to wait for him to complete the father-son basketball.
