Media person Su Qun posted a message, talking about why Doncic only signed a 2+1 contract with the Lakers

Su Qun said that the reason why Doncic signed a short contract was to make up for the money he lost in the Mavericks. If it had not been traded, Doncic could have renewed the Mavericks for 345 million in five years in advance. The federal tax (national tax) in the United States is 37%, and the state tax in Texas, where Dallas is located is exempt from state taxes, and the state tax in California, where Los Angeles is located is about 13% based on Doncic's income level. So Doncic was traded and suffered a double economic blow. After the transaction, the Lakers can renew Doncic for up to four years 229 million, with a total of 116 million yuan. Even if calculated based on the average annual salary, the difference is 11.75 million yuan. Doncic now renews the Lakers' 165 million yuan for three years, which is 180 million yuan from the original Mavericks' total of five years, and the average annual salary is 15 million yuan lower. After renewing the Lakers for three years instead of four years, Doncic gave up the guarantee amount as high as 64 million. But two years later, in the summer of 2027, the Lakers can change the contract with him to 323 million in four years. Or, after Doncic plays the next three seasons, he can continue to 418 million with the Lakers for five years in the summer of 2028. By then, Doncic's starting salary will be 70 million in the first year and more than 95 million in the last year. He has the opportunity to become the first player to have a single-year salary and average annual salary of more than 80 million. Doncic will not play full in 82 games of the regular season, which means that his salary for every game he plays will exceed $1 million. However, such a short contract will add a lot of pressure to Doncic in the next two years. It is not necessary to say that he should make some results, but more importantly, he cannot hurt himself. For the Lakers, a Doncic will fall from the sky, but there will be no stuffing in the sky. The Lakers also need to make all kinds of efforts and let Doncic cooperate in order to successfully complete the transition to the post-James era and the new boss era.
