What will the @Lakers’ Anthony Davis extension have to do with LeBron James? Well, probably a lot.
As one exec says: ‘There is a LeBron aspect to it. There always is.”

Anthony Davis wanted long-term security. The Lakers wanted to lock in a bridge to the next era of Lakers basketball.
On Friday, the two sides got the certainty they coveted. It’s not without some notable risk, but Davis’ three-year extension is a win-win:

Amid the Pac 12 chaos. How was it possible that Kliavkoff could present the Apple deal to the AD’s and CEO’s, to where they had only 72 hours to vote yay or nay? Indeed, with the very future of the conference at stake, you’d think he’d try to give his folks a bit more time – 2:30 PM

If anything, this deal is probably more of a win for the Lakers, considering they’ll save money on the back end of his contract compared to what could’ve happened had Davis declined to extend and instead exercised his early termination option to become a free agent in 2024. Davis would have been eligible for a five-year contract worth upwards of $304 million (basically the same contract as Jaylen Brown) — adding an extra year and increasing the overall salary committed to him. Overall, it would’ve been about six years, $344 million instead of five years, $270.5 million — a one-year, $70 million difference. The Lakers will ultimately pay Davis less than his max in 2024-25 and reduce the tail-end risk of the deal. -via The Athletic / August 6, 2023
