Will James cut his salary again when he wins the championship? Is Doncic worth it?

The first thing is that Doncic has lost weight. According to European media reports, Doncic returned to his country after the end of the season. I have conducted a series of health training without the ball, and the most obvious effect so far is weight loss!

Now that there is a negotiation with the Lakers about to enter the contract renewal issue, Doncic's weight control issue is likely to be added to the contract regulations by the Lakers.

Last season proved that Luca Carrebron's combination has certain developmentality. In addition to the center issue being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, the most important thing is the health problems of the two, especially Luca. And both of them will negotiate contracts this summer.

Luka Doncic

Expiration date of the current contract status: 2027 summer (2026-27 season is player option)

Current salary: 2025-26 season US$46 million, 2026-27 season player option US$48.97 million, 2026-27 season Eligibility: Can be renewed from August 3, 2025, because it is traded by the Mavericks, the super maximum salary cannot be signed

4 years US$229 million, 4 years Magnificent salary: 2026-27 season starting salary US$51 million, replacing the original player option; 3 years US$165 million Magnificent salary: including the third year player option, 2028 can sign 418 million Super maximum salary

According to previous information, Luca hopes to get a super maximum salary contract.

LeBron James

Expiration date: Summer 2026 (2025-26 season is a player option, worth $52.6 million)

Current salary: $52.6 million in 2025-26 season, and $52.6 million in 2026-27 season if the option is executed, $52.6 million in

Executive player option: June 2025 It was decided before the 29th that if implemented, it will play for at least until the 2026-27 season. Potential renewal plan:

2 years, US$105 million: including the second year player option, paving the way for the second son Bryce to enter the NBA in 2026.

2 years, US$120 million: retain the trade veto, but the Lakers may ask for a salary cut

First of all, the Lakers must consider that in the future, Doncic will definitely build a lineup with Doncic as the core. So where will LeBron be? The second is Reeves’ contract renewal! Currently, Reeves in the playoffs disappointed the Lakers.

Can Doncic, who lost weight, let LeBron cut his salary again? First of all, James has cut his salary in total twice in his career, and both of them have introduced giants to the team.

Next is a personal comment, welcome to discuss fiercely:

First of all, LeBron's salary cut, and James will most likely choose to cut his salary and stay with the Lakers. Even if it is not for the championship, he will choose to cut his salary for his second son James. The second is Doncic. The contract renewal is almost a foregone conclusion. It is difficult to judge the specific options, but the only requirement is that the Lakers must make up for a strong center next season. And during the competition with the Mavericks, Doncic and Gafford whispered, and we will continue to work together!
