$105 million in 2 years! James is expected to sign the contract and wait for his second son to enter the NBA

James has been recovering from an injury recently and will not be able to practice until early June. Yesterday, he "pretended" to read the book, the book he read was "The Manuscript Found in Accra", and he also made notes, emphasizing one sentence: "Don't try to be useful." Try to be yourself, that's enough, it will make all the difference. ”

This book is a novel written by Brazilian writer Paulo Coelho, and the content of the book is full of philosophical and spiritual reflections, which is considered to resonate with the spiritual core of Coelho's other famous work, "The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boy".

I found that James likes to read this author's book, and I have also read "The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boy", and it is also because of Lao Zhan that I read it. Once upon a time, James would calm his mind by reading books, and often in the key games of the playoffs, he could be seen coming to the locker room with a book to prepare for the game.

It's good to read books and cultivate sentiment during the offseason. Lakers reporter Jovan Buha said today: "I've never been worried about LeBron's physical condition and game size, so he'll take a break for a while, and I'm sure he'll still keep working out to stay in shape while he's recuperating on his knee." Once medically cleared, he will gradually increase the intensity of his training to get back to his best. I don't think it's going to affect training camp, pre-season or next season. He will have the entire offseason to recover and be fully recovered by the start of the next season. ”

Extreme self-discipline can allow James to continue such a long career, and at the age of 40, he has always held himself to high standards, and many fans and media have demanded high standards for him, still treating him as an existence that can turn the tide and save the team alone.

Yesterday, after Jokic scored 44 points and the Nuggets lost to the Thunder, Perkins tweeted: "James is tired at 40 years old and his greatness is being questioned. And the 30-year-old Jokic is tired and needs more help. We need to stop this double standard. ”

Bleachers Sports predicted that James would jump out of his contract this summer and then sign another two-year, $105 million contract with the Lakers, with a player option for the second year, to preserve the possibility of his historic on-court match with his second son, Bryce, in 2026.

Signing a 1+1 contract is the biggest possibility for James. Next season will be the 23rd season of his career, and James can choose to retire or return to another touring season after playing. With player options, the initiative is in your own hands. If you want to continue fighting, you can continue to fight, and if you don't want to fight, you will say goodbye to the stage.

ESPN reported today that the Lakers will hire a new strength and conditioning coach in the offseason, with an annual salary range of $200,000 to $250,000.

Shams revealed today that the Mavericks will be chasing a guard this summer, whether it's in the trade market or free agency. Because starting point guard Irving needs to return around January, they need a qualified guard to do the job of this transition.

American media BasketballForever made a trade idea today, which not only satisfies the Lakers' requirements to strengthen the center but also allows the Mavericks to get a quality point guard.

The Lone Ranger gets: Anfernee Simmons
Lakers get: Daniel Gafford
The Trail Blazers get: Kleber, Caleb Martin, Knecht, Dwight Powell, Lakers 2029 first-round pick for the Mavericks, Mavericks 2031 first-rounder, Lakers 2030 first-round swap.

How do you feel about the deal? The 26-year-old Gafford wants a raise, while the Mavericks' thick eyebrows are now on a max contract, and the 21-year-old center is one year away from a contract extension. So it's hard to keep Gafford on. Gafford has a good relationship with Doncic, and it's time for the Lakers to make a move!
