52.63 million US dollars in one year! 6.75 million US dollars in three years! James takes every step forward, but Brownie has no way out

The wild NBA is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat! During this offseason, the Nuggets introduced Huang Zhong Lao + Valan + Brown + Hardaway Jr. to assist Jokic, the Rockets introduced Durant + Finney Smith + Capela to turn the stone into gold, and the Clippers introduced Daluo + Collins to assist Harden Xiaoka. The three Western giants armed their teeth to encircle the defending champion, while the Thunder spent 822 million US dollars to show their ambition to defend the throne and establish a dynasty at all costs. Theirs are theirs, but the Lakers and Warriors lost in the offseason! The Warriors responded to changes with the same change, with almost 0 operations except losing Looney; the Lakers are even more difficult, with heavy thunder and fewer raindrops, and James' "in Cao's camp, heart in Han" makes the team full of uncertainty in the new season.

Turn back to the free agent trading market before the start of James's agent, Paul Fu, issued an important statement, which is as follows: We understand the difficulty of preparing for the future while striving for the current victory, but we hope to evaluate what is the best for James at this stage. James hopes that every remaining season he has made sense, and the Lakers understand that and support him, hoping to make the best decision for him! I don't know if the Lakers really understand and support it, but one thing is certain that to this day, James has made the best decision for himself - to implement the player option of 52.63 million US dollars in the last year, but the Lakers official has not made any statement, and silence is the best declaration.

This is the first time that James has executed the player option in his career. If something goes wrong, there will be a demon! If we want to trace the root cause, the key is that the Lakers did not provide James with a contract renewal; from another perspective, James' execution of this high-paying contract basically blocked the Lakers' way to win in the present. Up to now, the Lakers have only bargained Laravia and Ayton at low prices, which is obviously not enough to compete with the Thunder, Nuggets, Clippers and Rockets. In a sense, this is a mutually hurtful business behavior - James must ensure the maximization of interests and take the initiative to control his destiny; the Lakers are unwilling to overdraw the future for the old James in advance. Luca is the storefront and hope for Luocheng in the next 10 years, which can be proved from several things! First, James was completely unaware of Luca's big deal when the Lakers completed Luca's Dark Brows; Second, Jenny Buss notified Luca in advance before deciding to sell the Lakers but did not directly inform James, who only learned the news from social media.

The future will eventually belong to young people. James has always handed the torch to Thick Brow in the future. Now the torch has been snatched away by Luca. This is an indisputable fact and it is also the cruelty of competitive sports! In the past season, James played 70 games for the Lakers, averaging 24.4 points + 7.8 rebounds + 8.2 assists + 1 steal; in the five playoffs, James averaged 25.4 points + 9 rebounds + 5.6 assists + 2 steals + 1.8 blocks. The older James is, the more evil he is, and the data is still gorgeous, but the Lakers would rather James execute the player option than provide him with a longer contract extension. Why? Obviously, they do not believe that the team can compete for the championship at the moment. They are even ready to be the last year of James' Lakers' career and even James applies to leave the team in advance.

According to NBA famous reporter Sam, sources revealed that if James does not apply for a deal or buyout, next season will be his last season with the Lakers. ESPN reporter Brian Windhorst pointed out incisively that sources revealed that several teams, including the Warriors, were once again considering making an offer to the Lakers for James. But the problem is that James' salary of 52.63 million US dollars per year is too high, and any team that competes for the championship will have to be in trouble if they want to match the deal! The Cavaliers may be the next one that is most suitable for James, but NBA famous reporter Sam pointed out incisively: The Cavaliers are only interested in introducing James when they buy out.

Zhan has the power to veto the transaction and take every step forward. He can judge the situation and control his own destiny, but he also has to consider the future of his eldest son. Because of James, the Lakers selected Brownie with the No. 55 draw and gave him a four-year contract of 8.7 million US dollars. It became a reality for James and his son to compete on the same stage. Last season, Brownie played 27 games for the Lakers, averaging 2.3 points per game, and a shooting percentage of only 31.3%. Brownie has 3 years and 6.75 million US dollars left in the contract. Once the fate between James and the Lakers comes to an end, Brownie will have no way out! US media BR simulated a trading plan: the Lakers gave away James + Brownie, and got the Nuggets' Murray + Watson + Holmes + 1 first round swap! This transaction plan is not very feasible, but it is very insulting. It can be simply summarized as one sentence: Brownie and James are the real community of shared destiny! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
