Congratulations to Doncic! The Lakers are full of sincerity, and the contract renewal can be signed for up to 418 million yuan for 5 years.

In the first round of the playoffs, Doncic averaged 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 45.2%, which is also Doncic's sixth series in his career, averaging 30+ points per game. Although the Lakers were eliminated in the first round, Doncic's performance undoubtedly injected a shot of a heart-warming agent into the team's future.

For the Lakers management led by Pelinka, the top priority in the offseason is undoubtedly to renew Doncic early. Although Doncic has two seasons left in his contract, the outside world has predicted that he will renew his contract early this summer. After all, no one will be unable to get along with the money.

According to US media The Athletic, sources said that the Lakers will be open to any contract structures that Doncic favors. Doncic is currently facing multiple signing paths:

4-year, 229 million renewal: it can be signed as early as August 2.

Three-year 165 million short-term: including the player option in the 2028-29 season, and the opportunity to sign a five-year 418 million super contract in 2028 (when you have been playing for ten years).

Wait and Watch Options: After executing the existing contract, you can choose to renew 296 million for five years in the summer of 2026, or transfer to other teams to sign 219 million for four years.

It is worth mentioning that ESPN famous reporter Tim MacMahon claimed: "If Doncic did not sign any contract renewal with the Lakers this summer, I would be very shocked. Doncic has devoted himself to the Lakers, and his current goal is to win the championship with this team."

In fact, for a potential contract renewal with the Lakers, Doncic's answer also confirms that he is likely to stay in the Lakers.

"To be honest, everything is good here. The way the fans accepted me was so surprising, and I'm really happy to be here."

Judging from the current situation, it is very likely that Doncic will reach a contract renewal with the Lakers. Whether from the team's future development or from Doncic's personal career planning, staying with the Lakers is undoubtedly the best choice. After all, Los Angeles' commercial value, exposure and superstar gravity are incomparable to other teams. At the same time, Pelinka also promised to build a lineup around Doncic, which also means that James' era is about to come to an end.
