165 million US dollars in 3 years! The first in the alliance! Heaven rewards hard work, Doncic wants to go against the will of heaven and change his fate

NBA offseason is coming to an end, and many giant teams in the Wild West have been completely renewed, some are happy and some are worried! Teams such as the Thunder, Nuggets, and Rockets are armed to the teeth and aim at the championship; teams such as the Grizzlies and Mavericks have undergone a major change in line and are ambitious; teams such as the Warriors and the Clippers are worried about internal and external troubles, and the prospects are worrying. The Los Angeles Lakers are more than inferior to the top. They have made some adjustments to the lineup to a certain extent, with the lower limit not low, and the upper limit can be high or low. But then again, the Lakers can achieve the new season, not whether James can become more and more demons as he grows older, but whether Doncic can change his fate!
The Lakers have new wines in old bottles, and their layout is better than winning in the present.
From being swept by the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals in 22-23, to being swept by the Nuggets gentlemen in the first round of the 23-24 season, and then being swept by the Timberwolves gentlemen in the first round of the 24-25 season, James can still maintain the output of the older he gets more and more demons. James' partner has changed from Thick Eyebrow to Doncic, but it is an indisputable fact that the Lakers and the championship are getting farther and farther away. In the words of fans, the 40-year-old James no longer has the control of the field at his peak. When he is still the team's highest salary or even the number one star, the Lakers are destined to be unable to achieve anything. During this offseason, James decided to implement the player option worth $52.63 million in the last year, which means that he will still be the highest salary in the Lakers next season, and it also makes the Lakers stretched in signing and strengthening.
Let's first take a look at the changes in the Lakers' lineup compared to last season. First, the Lakers watched helplessly as the Rockets poached Doncic's good partner Finny Smith with a four-year, $52.7 million contract, and said they couldn't afford it; secondly, the Lakers poached Laravia with a two-year, $12 million contract, as a substitute for Finny Smith; finally, the Lakers frantically picked up bargains in the buyout market, signed Doncic's No. 1 pick Ayton in two years, $16.2 million, and signed the former DPOY Smart for 10.52 million in two years. In a sense, Pelinka has strengthened her within her limited salary space. She has changed her soup and no medicine. She has better layout in the future than winning the present!
3, 165 million US dollars, the first in the league, from James' execution of player options to giving Laravia, Ayton and Smart, all of which are two-year short contracts. This series of operations is by no means accidental, but a layout for the future - Doncic is the cornerstone of the Lakers' team building in the next ten years. The Lakers have set their sights in advance for the summer of 2027. By then, James may have taken off his purple gold jersey, and big fish such as Jokic and Antetokounmpo will emerge in the free market. The Lakers will create enough salary space to find new partners for Doncic. It is worth mentioning that Doncic reached a three-year, $165 million early contract renewal with the Lakers during the offseason, and spent $25 million a few days ago to buy Sharapova's three-story mansion in Manhattan Beach. This can also be regarded as a reassurance for the Lakers: Since I came here, let's have peace of mind. Let's make a long-term plan to compete for the championship!
Doncic suddenly got along with the Lakers, but they met too late. The Lakers need Doncic's starlight, and Doncic also enjoys the big stage in Los Angeles. Last season, Doncic played 28 games for the Lakers, averaging 28.2 points + 8.1 rebounds + 7.5 assists + 1.6 steals per game; in five games in the playoffs, Doncic averaged 30.2 points + 7 rebounds + 5.8 assists + 1 steal. According to statistics from the NBA official website, Doncic averaged five points per game in his career (28.6 points + 8.6 rebounds + 8.2 assists + 1.2 steals + 0.5 blocks) reached 47.1, ranking first in the NBA's active league and second in history, second only to Chamberlain (57.4). In another statistics, Doncic is the second player in NBA history to average 30+ points per game in his career playoffs, and the other is basketball god Jordan (33.4 points). This is Doncic. In the words of James, his ball quotient is very high, and people who can think about the game always play on another level.
Daughter rewards hard work, Doncic wants to go against the will of heaven, from Dallas to Los Angeles, Doncic learned to be self-disciplined under the influence of James. During this offseason, when countless NBA stars were addicted to nightclubs, yachts and fishing, Doncic has been maintaining devil training and successfully slimming down! In the European Cup of Men's Basketball Team that ended earlier, Doncic led the weak Slovenia team to the quarterfinals. He won the scoring title of this European Cup with an average of 34.7 points per game and was selected into the European Cup's best team. This is Doncic. When talent is elite and great, hard work and dedication can continue to break through. As the saying goes: God rewards hard work and shines brightly! For Doncic, the European Cup is just a touchstone, and the new NBA season is the real purgatory. Doncic's Lakers teammates are no worse than Slovenian teammates, and NBA teams may not be as terrible as European teams. I believe Doncic will never sit still and wait for death, but will continue to use his magic and change his fate against the will of heaven. This is also the only way out for the Lakers to create miracles! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
