The Lakers' playoff journey ended unfortunately. They lost to the Timberwolves 1-4 in the first round, announcing the end of the season's journey. However, despite the setbacks in the playoffs, the Lakers' operations in the offseason have allowed fans to see the dawn of the team's rise, especially a series of major news around Doncic's contract renewal plan and James' future plan, which undoubtedly injects a shot of augmentation into the Lakers' future. As one of the hottest young superstars in the league today, Doncic's renewal has always been the focus of fans' attention. According to US media reports, Doncic is facing a variety of renewal options, the most eye-catching of which is a four-year contract with a total value of up to US$229 million, which can be officially signed as early as August 2.
In addition, Doncic has a three-year, 165 million short contract option. Although this short contract gave up the super top salary qualification, it created conditions for him to sign a five-year, 418 million super contract in 2028 in advance. No matter what choice Doncic chooses in the end, the Lakers are open to any contract structure he favors, which fully demonstrates the Lakers' management's high recognition and attention to Doncic.
At the same time, Lakers general manager Pelinka made it clear in the season summary interview that the lineup will be built around Doncic in the future, and the center position is the primary reinforcement goal. In the series against the Timberwolves, the Lakers' inside shortcomings were fully exposed, especially in terms of inside height and body shape, which directly affected the team's defense and rebounding performance. Therefore, introducing a capable center player during the offseason will help improve the team's inside situation, share the pressure for Doncic, and enhance the overall competitiveness of the team.
As another core of the Lakers, James's stay and dosage also touches the hearts of countless fans. According to US media reports, if James chooses to renew his contract with the Lakers, he is not expected to accept a salary cut. The well-known reporter Shams also said that James will play at least another season, because next season will be his 23rd season, and the 23rd season of the No. 23, and the All-Stars will be held in Los Angeles. This gimmick generally makes the outside world think that he will play at least another season.
James still showed his strong personal ability in the playoffs this season. Although the team's overall performance did not meet expectations, his personal competitive state and desire to win remained the same as before. As a veteran who has been in the league for many years, James' experience and leadership are priceless for the Lakers. His presence can not only provide the team with stable scoring output and key ball handling capabilities on the court, but also build up the team's morale in the locker room and guide the growth of young players.
Although the loss in the playoffs this season is regrettable, the Lakers' active operating trend during the offseason has given people hope for revival. Doncic's upcoming contract renewal, James' future plan and Pelinka's signing layout have made Lakers fans full of confidence in the new season.
