June 4th News Today, ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks looked forward to the Lakers' offseason operations on the podcast "GET UP".

Marks said: "The Lakers are expected to take extremely 'aggressive' actions in the offseason, especially given that LeBron has only one year left in contract. I think there are three things to note. First, make the most of the $60 million contract that is about to expire, especially players like Vincent and Hachimura. Second, the Lakers have shown their intentions at the trade deadline, and they tried to get a sensation through the trade, but eventually failed due to physical examination issues. This offseason, the Lakers will seek to sign a center again, and they have a first-round draft pick to use. Finally, focus on August 2, which is the day when Luca (Doncic) is eligible for renewal. Therefore, the team must be both focused on the present and prepared for the future, especially in Le. After Brown retired. "

"One of the Lakers' motivations is that they need to show Doncic that the team really wants to help him win his first championship. He reached the NBA Finals last year when he played for the Mavericks, but lost after five games. He looked noticeably thin in public, and at least one report pointed out that he was adjusting his health regimen after being criticized for his poor body management. James has a $52.6 million player option next season, which he can turn down, become a free agent, sign a slightly longer new contract, or leave the Lakers, but most people expect him to stay. His deadline to decide whether to implement the option is June 30."
