James received the latest offer from the Lakers and continued to strive for the championship in the new season

After the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves in the first round and were eliminated, the topic of whether the star James would retire has never been interrupted. Some people say that James is too old and can no longer play, while others think that James is still competitive. Just as fans around the world are comparing and discussing, the Lakers have heard good news, that is, Perinka has negotiated with James to renew the contract.

It is reported that Perinka provided James with a two-year, $130 million contract with an annual salary of up to $65 million. James will jump directly from the existing contract of $52.63 million next season and accept this valuable new contract. In addition, Perinka also promised James that he would continue to build a championship lineup in the new season.

Although James is 40 years old and his competitive state has declined compared to his peak, his personal data is still among the top-notch players. This season, James averaged 34.9 minutes per game, contributing 22.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal, and averaging 40.7 minutes per game in the playoffs, contributing 25.4 points, 9 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 2 steals, and 1.8 blocks.

The Lakers will undoubtedly continue to build a team around Doncic and James in the new season. As for Rivers Jr., it is very likely that he will be sent away as a bargaining chip, and then exchange for a powerful frame protection center. In this way, the Lakers' lineup framework will be more reasonable. Finally, make some minor adjustments as needed. I believe Redick will work with James to lead the Lakers back to the peak.
