Missed 5 years and 345 million! Doncic is qualified to sign 229 million with the Lakers for 4 years and 165 million can also sign 165 million for 3 years and 3 years and 3 years and 3 years and 2018

May 1st reported that in the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves 96-103 at home, and were eliminated 1-4 with a big score. After the game, ESPN salary expert Bobby Marks wrote an article about Doncic's prospects for renewal.

Before the start of the playoffs, Doncic said in an interview with ESPN reporter Malika Andrew that he wanted to stay with the Lakers.

BobbyMarks said that starting from August 3, Doncic is eligible to renew his contract with the Lakers in advance. Due to being traded by the Mavericks, Doncic missed a super maximum salary. He can sign up to a four-year, $229 million maximum salary contract this summer, of which a starting salary of $51 million in the 2026-27 season will replace the player option for the last season of his original contract. And more likely: a three-year, $165 million maximum salary contract, including third-year player options. This short-term contract renewal allows Doncic to return to the free market faster and may make up for the super maximum salary lost when traded by the Mavericks ($345 million in five years).

Doncic's existing contract expires in 2027. He has a salary of about $43.03 million this season, about $46 million in the 2025-26 season, and is a player option worth $48.97 million in the 2026-27 season.

In today's game, Doncic made 7 of 18 shots, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 12 of 15 free throws, scoring 28 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists and 1 steal.
