In all likelihood, Anthony Davis (30 years old) should initial in the coming weeks a contract extension with the Lakers.
In any case, this is what is looming according to ESPN, while the All-Star interior will be eligible for re-signing within a fortnight (August 4). Proof that relations are in good shape between the two camps, it could be completed before the start of the “training camp” in mid-September.
At most, “AD” can re-stack at Los Angeles for three years, and 167.6 million dollars, he who is currently linked to the Californian franchise until the summer of 2025 (except that the last year of his lease, in 2024/25, is a “player option” of 43.2 million of dollars). Thus, in the event of an extension, he would find himself under contract until 2027/28 (or even 2026/27, if a “player option” or “team option” is integrated again).
We remember that the talented but fragile Anthony Davis joined the Lakers in the summer of 2019, compiling since 24.6 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.1 blocks and 1.3 interceptions on average in four seasons with the “Purple & Gold”. In the wake of the title won in 2020, the former Pelicans player had already extended for five years, and 190 million dollars, in California.
This indiscretion is not surprising because, through the voice of its president Rob Pelinka, Los Angeles has assured that it wants to continue to get the best out of the LeBron / Davis duo and that “AD” keeps its eyes riveted on a second title…
