    Luka Dončić has signed a 3-year, $165 million max contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers

    BREAKING: Luka Dončić has signed a 3-year, $165 million max contract extension with the Los Angeles Lakers, according to Shams Charania. https://youtu.be/mFZTwWfwQO4?si=NYUuJ_pFUDsEb87q Luka Dončić has officially committed to his new team after a blockbuster trade last season. Dončić inked a three-year, $165 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, agent Bill Duffy told ESPN's Shams Charania. Dončić was eligible for a four-year, $229 million extension this offseason. Had he waited until next summer, he would have been eligible for a five-year, $296 million deal. While Dončić ultimately agreed to an extension, the Lakers reportedly were "a little bit stressed out about" whether he would sign, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. However, Dončić gave the team a good indication that he was ready to commit to the Lakers when he helped recruit a handful of players to Los Angeles in July. Dallas stunned the NBA world in February by sending Dončić to Los Angeles in return for Anthony Davis in one of the biggest trades in league history last season. Dončić was already the face of the franchise and took them to the NBA Finals a year ago. Dončić's new contract is plenty lucrative, but it's not quite as much as he could've made as a member of the Mavericks. ESPN's Bobby Marks reported after the trade that Dončić was no longer eligible for the super-max extension this summer that would have paid him a whopping $345 million over five years. Dončić would have been more than deserving of that deal, but it ultimately wasn't his decision. The 26-year-old averaged 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game across his time in Dallas and Los Angeles during the 2024-25 season. The Lakers had a late-season surge upon Dončić's arrival and ended up earning the No. 3 seed in the playoffs, but they failed to meet the lofty expectations set for them heading into the postseason. Los Angeles fell to the Minnesota Timberwolves in five games in the first round. On the surface, it was a disappointing result considering Dončić is one of the best players in the league and was playing alongside an all-time great in LeBron James, but Los Angeles' roster was built around a team that had a star big man in Davis rather than a star point guard like Dončić. The Lakers have tweaked their roster some this offseason to better complement Dončić, and they should be in a position to compete for a title this year. While Dončić didn't get the super-max extension he could have landed in Dallas, he's now with a franchise with deep pockets and could eventually be due for an even bigger payday. For now, he'll look to deliver the Lakers their 18th championship.

  2. Lakers New Look 2025 | Luka Doncic Contract UPDATE!!!

    Lakers New Look 2025 | Luka Doncic Contract UPDATE!!!

    The #Lakers enter the 2025-26 season under second-year head coach JJ Redick with a roster fully geared for a title run‼️ This offseason, the Lakers added Deandre Ayton, Marcus Smart, and Jake LaRavia, giving them size, defense, and floor spacing. The projected starting lineup features #LukaDoncic, Austin Reaves, #LeBronJames, Rui Hachimura, and Ayton-a combination of elite playmaking, shooting, and interior presence. Smart brings defensive leadership off the bench, while LaRavia provides shooting & defensive depth. Rookie Adou Thiero is more of a developmental piece and unlikely to see significant minutes early. 💰 Financially, the Lakers sit $33.8M over the cap, just under the first apron, and well below the second apron. Their payroll is around $194M, leaving space for only a veteran minimum and a two-way deal. The biggest remaining hole is an elite 3-and-D wing who can defend top scorers and knock down shots—a priority for the front office as they look to round out the rotation. With Luka and LeBron leading the charge, and Ayton fortifying the paint, the Lakers are firmly in championship-or-bust mode. 🏆💜💛 Comments down below 💭☑️ Like and Share my videos 👍🏼☑️ ✅ Subscribe to my channel ZSN on YouTube ✅ ✅Help us continue to provide ZSN coverage and SUBSCRIBE: http://youtube.com/@ZSN_MEDIA #ZSN on Social Media: ☑️Like my page on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ZSNSport ☑️Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zsn_media ☑️Follow me on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ZSN_Media ☑️ Follow Me On TikTok. www.tiktok.com/@ZSN_Media 💜GO LAKERS💛 Thank You For The Support‼️

  3. BREAKING: Marcus Smart Sign With Lakers After Luka Doncic Recruited Smart | Lakers Roster UPDATE!

    BREAKING: Marcus Smart Sign With Lakers After Luka Doncic Recruited Smart | Lakers Roster UPDATE!

    Marcus Smart To Join Lakers After Buyout With Wizards Marcus Smart has reached an agreement on a buyout with the Wizards and plans to join the Lakers once he clears waivers, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. Smart’s new contract will be worth $11MM over two years and will contain a player option for the second season. Sources tell Charania that Luka Doncic played a large role in recruiting Smart to L.A. He adds that the Lakers, Suns and Bucks all received permission from Washington to contact Smart, and he had “positive conversations” with all three teams. The Lakers can use their full biannual exception to add Smart, according to cap expert Yossi Gozlan (Twitter link). They’ll have to clear about $4.2MM in salary to have access to the full amount, which may mean parting with Shake Milton, who has a $3MM non-guaranteed salary, and Jordan Goodwin, who only has a $25K guarantee on his $2.35MM salary. If that happens, Gozlan states that L.A. wouldn’t have enough available apron space to sign a 15th man at the beginning of the season (Twitter link). Milton’s salary for 2025/26 will become fully guaranteed on Sunday, so the Lakers will have to act fast if they plan to waive him. If Smart gives back the equivalent of the biannual exception in his buyout, the Wizards will be more than $30MM below the luxury tax, Gozlan adds. Washington has its full $14.1MM non-taxpayer midlevel exception remaining, along with $13.4MM and $9.9MM trade exceptions. Smart, 31, was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2022, but his career took a downturn after a trade to Memphis in the summer of 2023. Injuries limited him to 39 total games in a year and a half with the Grizzlies before he was sent to Washington in a three-team deal at this year’s trade deadline. If Smart can stay healthy, he’ll bring much-needed defensive help to the Lakers’ backcourt. He appeared in 19 games with Memphis and 15 games with the Wizards last season, averaging 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 20 minutes per night with .393/.348/.761 shooting numbers. The Wizards have added numerous young players to their roster this summer, so there likely wouldn’t have been regular for playing time for Smart, who had a $21.6MM expiring contract. There were rumors last month that Smart was on the trade market, but the Wizards evidently couldn’t find a team willing to take on his salary. So Z Nation, what do you think about the Lakers signing Marcus Smart?

    Lakers Select Bronny James With The 55th Pick | NBA Draft 2024

    Lakers Select Bronny James With The 55th Pick | NBA Draft 2024 #Lakers Select #BronnyJames with the No. 55 pick in the 2024 #NBADraft, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. LeBron and Bronny James to become the first ever father-son duo to be in the #NBA at the same time. Bronny James — the oldest son of the NBA’s all-time scoring leader and four-time champion — was drafted Thursday by the Los Angeles Lakers, the team that his father has played for since 2018. Bronny James was taken with the No. 55 overall pick, deep in the second round and with only three picks remaining in this year’s draft. “Beyond blessed,” Bronny James wrote in an Instagram post. Bronny James played one year of college basketball at USC and averaged 4.8 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game last season. He played in 25 games, missing the start of the season after needing a procedure last year to fix what was diagnosed as a congenital heart defect, which was found after he went into cardiac arrest during a summer workout. So Z Nation, what do you think about the Lakers selecting Bronny James with the 55th pick in this years draft???

    BREAKING: LAKERS HIRING JJ REDICK AS THE HEAD COACH

    BREAKING: LAKERS HIRING JJ REDICK AS THE HEAD COACH FOR LA The Los Angeles Lakers are reportedly turning to JJ Redick to help them achieve their championship aspirations. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the two sides agreed to a four-year deal to make Redick the team's next head coach on Thursday. Shams Charania report that the deal is "in the neighborhood of $8 million per season." Woj added that Lakers GM Rob Pelinka "became sold on Redick's ability to connect with players and his basketball IQ and believes surrounding Redick with an elite coaching staff will help to shorten his learning curve into his first coaching job." So Z Nation, what do you think about the Lakers hiring JJ Redick as the head coach of LA???

    Lakers Select Dalton Knecht With The 17th Pick | NBA Draft 2024

    BREAKING: #Lakers Select #DaltonKnecht with the 17th Overall Pick in the 2024 #NBADraft Dalton Knecht is a 6’6″ wing that played two seasons at Northern Colorado before starring at Tennessee in 2023-24, averaging 21.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists. He also shot 39.7% from 3-point range so will provide 3-and-D ability for a team that has been looking for that skillset for a while now. After 23 years of age, Knecht should be able to come in and contribute right away for the Lakers, which is exactly what they are said to be looking for. As a team looking to compete for championships right away, L.A. couldn’t afford to draft another prospect that needs a couple years of development as they did last year. So Z Nation, do you think Dalton Knecht is the steal of the draft for the Lakers???

    Lakers Center Options | Lakers Free Agency 2024

    #Lakers Center Options | #LakersFreeAgency 2024 The Los Angeles Lakers could have a lengthy to-do list for the 2024 NBA offseason. They probably won't get much of it done during free agency. Spending money could be tight or non-existent. And if it isn't, the Lakers could have even bigger problems to deal with, as that likely means LeBron James declined his player option and bolted out of town. Free agency isn't the place where the Lakers can make radical changes this summer—they'd need to hit the trade market to make that happen—but they do have some things to accomplish. Lakers are in need of another big man to support Anthony Davis, and veteran center Jonas Valanciunas from the Pelicans could be a viable option in the upcoming NBA free agency. Valanciunas averaged 12.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game this season. He also recorded 33 double-doubles and had a standout game scoring 29 points and grabbing 13 boards. The Lakers signed Drummond after he was bought out by the Cavaliers in March 2021. The two-time All-Star was still a starter and clinging to the end of his prime. LA needed talent, and the 6’11 big man was eager to play with LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Drummond replaced Marc Gasol as the Lakers starting center. He averaged 11.9 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.0 block in 24.8 minutes per game over 21 contests. Drummond remained their starting center in the playoffs before being benched in the decisive Game 6 against the Suns. Drummond is still one of the best rebounders in the league and has settled in as a backup center. If the Lakers want size and options in defending Nikola Jokic and the big-man trio in Minnesota, signing Drummond makes perfect sense. He could play 15 to 20 minutes off the bench and make a larger impact in specific matchups. The 6’11 big man had interest in returning to the Lakers and will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. LA will be limited in what they can offer, but Andre Drummond may take less to join a contender. Do not rule out this reunion. Xavier Tillman is another option for LA to back up or play alongside AD too. Plus LA can get Tillman for less on the market. Dwight Howard isn't giving up on his hopes of returning to the NBA, even if it means making a plea to Los Angeles Lakers governor Jeanie Buss to sign him via song. Howard has not made it a secret he still pays close attention to everything involving the Lakers. He had a post on X after Game 4 of their playoff series against the Denver Nuggets that the Lakers won to avoid being swept that made it seem like he believed they could pull off a miracle. Howard hasn't played in the NBA since the last stint with the Lakers. He spent one season with the Taoyuan Leopards in 2022-23. Despite lobbying for a job in the NBA last summer by saying he could play for "at least 15 to 20 teams," Howard went unsigned before agreeing to a deal with Mets de Guaynabo of Puerto Rico's Baloncesto Superior Nacional in March. After getting roasted in a playoff series for the second straight year by Nikola Jokić, maybe Howard's pleas will be heard and the Lakers will sign him hoping he can be the Joker stopper. So Z Nation, which center option should the Lakers target in free agency???
