James is in good shape now. This season, he can still average 25.6 points +7.5 rebounds+1 1.0 assists, ranking first in the league. It stands to reason that he will probably continue to play after the contract ends. After all, everyone is looking forward to their father and son playing together!
So how big a contract will James sign in the future? First of all, talk about the contract annual salary. Considering his age, it is unlikely to be a four-year salary, but as long as he is willing to sign a four-year salary, the Lakers will definitely give it to him. James is not a greedy man. He will make sacrifices for the championship, and his salary may be reduced in the future. I estimate that his annual salary is between 40 million and 60 million in two years, and it is unlikely to sign once a year, and it is unlikely to sign in three or four years. Dear fans, what do you think of this?
You're old if you're not crazy. In yesterday's game against the Spurs, James turned into a "scoring Zhan" with four dunks 19 points at halftime, nine assists in a single quarter to feed back his teammates' "assists Zhan" and three consecutive three-pointers in the fourth quarter. James was crazy, but his opponent also cried out plaintively: Can a 35-year-old man still look like a veteran? Don't stop! James's steady performance also made many fans ask, if James's contract ends, how big will the next contract be? Ok, please listen to me and tell me in detail.
James' contract
In the season of 20 18-20 19, James brought his talent to Los Angeles, and he signed a four-year contract with the Lakers, amounting to $65.438+$54 billion. According to the contract term, James' contract will end in the 2 1-22 season, when James is 38 years old, can he still get a high salary at the age of 38? Many fans think that Lao Zhan can only sell at a low price, but personally think that James' next contract will be a top salary. Why?
James' average performance this season has reached 25+8+ 1 1. However, judging from Lao Zhan's game, he hasn't fully played out and has been on the edge of paddling for a long time, so it is not too difficult for James' self-discipline and hard training to keep his performance until 20-2 1 season. 20-2 1 season is a major time node for James.
A smart man like James won't wait until the contract expires to choose his future path. I believe that at the end of the 20-2 1 season, James, who is 37 years old and has a stable performance, will announce that he will jump out of the contract and seek a contract with the highest salary of at least 3-4 years.
To sum up, I personally think that in the 20-2 1 season, James will jump out of the contract and sign a 3-4-year maximum salary contract, which is also in line with James' business and the layout of his son's playing.
Personally, James' next contract should be the same as Kobe's last contract, with a short contract and the highest salary.
James' current contract is $654.38+56 million for four years. Now is the second year, and the contract expires in 2022. As the signboard and facade of the league, he will definitely retire with dignity. Even if he is old, the team will offer a big contract. In other words, James, who is 38 years old by then, is likely to have a salary of more than 30 million, which is not surprising for Lao Zhan.
Of course, it depends on James' state, but I believe it won't be much worse. By that time, James can also sign more than 20 million contracts and sign a super shock champion with the team's salary. Moreover, according to the current trend, James is likely to die in Los Angeles, so the Lakers are likely to do the same to Kobe. Even if your state declines, I will not hesitate to offer my top salary. After all, this is a sign of an era in the league.
The Lakers have a tradition of treating superstars in their twilight years. After the contract ends, James is likely to stay with the Lakers and sign an annual salary of 50-60 million yuan for two years. Let's analyze it together!
At the end of Kobe's career, the Lakers offered a two-year, 40-million-dollar contract, and it is likely that they will still do the same to James.
The Lakers are a team with a good reputation and a glorious history. Many superstars, magicians, Kobe Bryant and so on. Has retired from this team. In Bryant's last two seasons, the Lakers still paid the superstar salary because he was the signboard of the league and the signboard of the Lakers. As the first player in the league, if James wants to play after his contract expires at the age of 38, it is very likely that the Lakers will sign a contract, then the Lakers will definitely give him superstar treatment and salary, because this is the signboard of a new generation in Los Angeles!
James has a good figure. How much is his figure worth?
Judging from the current state of 35-year-old James, he still has the level of a league superstar, which is an old legend. In the past three years, he averaged 20 points per game. In this state and the signboard of the league, it is unlikely that the Lakers will lose about 30 million a year.
To sum up, James is likely to renew his contract with the Lakers for another two years at the end of his career.
If James continues to play for the team, he may choose to reduce his salary instead of having to ruin the team because he accepted a big contract like Kobe. However, after all, he is the second in history and will always be the box office guarantee after Jordan in history. No matter how hard the boss of any team tries to save money, he can't be mistreated. So James' final contract is at least close to 30 million annual salary. If the team can still win the championship, then James may reduce his salary by one million dollars, but not less than 25 million dollars.
Personally, I think James's next contract salary should be between 20 million and 25 million dollars, and the service life is likely to be two years.
At the age of 35, any professional player is the end of his career. As far as the banana boat brothers are concerned, Wade has retired. Although Paul still has oil in the tank, he can't play his original dominance. Anthony just got a contract to return to the NBA. Although he scored 25 points in the last game, it is hard to say what he can do this season. However, James is the best of the banana boat brothers. Not only has there been no obvious decline in data, but it has also set a career high in assists, averaging 1 1 times, leading the league.
I have to say that time and years have not left much influence on James. Of course, this is also related to his own good at managing his own body. So what will happen to James' next contract in his current state?
James' previous contract
James's previous contract was signed in the summer of 20 18, when the total contract amount was 4 years1540,000 USD, which was actually the top salary. Of course, this contract is naturally no problem for James. After all, his current state and the status of the league are all here.
Judging from the performance of James in the two seasons after signing the contract, there is no obvious decline, and during this contract period, the cooperation between James and Brother Thick Eyebrows is likely to bring a new championship trophy to the Los Angeles Lakers. At this point, James obviously deserves the current maximum wage contract. From this perspective, it is not excluded that the Lakers will give James a decent pension contract. The credit and influence of approaching are here, and James will still have good strength after two seasons.
James' next contract
When this contract ends, James will be 37 years old, not far from 38. The first thing to consider is how many states are left in James? At least compared with now, his decline is certain. After all, time waits for no one. So it is obviously unrealistic for James to want to be the core of the team. And he himself once said when recruiting Leonard that two years later, the Lakers would be Leonard's world. In this way, James can see the future clearly, and he won't be too demanding of his state and status.
Secondly, a player like James always has a strong enterprise, and now money is not so important to him. With his business acumen, there are too many ways to make money. As long as he stays in the NBA, he is the benchmark of the league, and there will be all kinds of advertising endorsements. After the contract expired, James went back to pursue the championship, but the pursuit of salary was not so important.
Finally, from the team point of view. In the face of James' declining state and ability, they need to think more about the development of the team and the reasonable salary space structure. So from the team's point of view, James, who is about to turn 38, will not be given a long-term contract. It is more in the interest of the team to renew James' contract with 1~2 years.
Concluding remarks
So from all aspects, James' next contract will not be a long-term contract. The team needs to consider salary space, team competitiveness and James' age, and James himself will also consider better introducing the top spot. Therefore, it is more reasonable for James, 38, to get a two-year contract of 20-25 million.
Throughout the NBA teams, the Lakers have always had a tradition of giving preferential treatment to superstars, who are also historical superstars.
Kobe Bryant and Nowitzki are probably the highest paid teams. At the end of their careers, the team still offers big contracts and hopes to keep the team's heroes on the team and the stadium.
If Lao Zhan wins the championship in the Lakers, the Lakers will pay the top salary appropriately to keep such a historical superstar.
Even if Zhan doesn't bring the Lakers a championship, the Lakers can keep James at the top salary!
There are many NBA stars in history, such as Wade, McGrady and Iverson. Wade can be said to be the first person in the Heat. Scores, assists and rebounds are all in the forefront of the Heat, and he has also brought the Heat three championships. However, such a superstar only got a basic salary contract of 2.4 million last season. McGrady and Iverson even became vagrants, wandering in many teams, and didn't get the rewards they deserved, which is very regrettable.
But for a historical team like the Lakers, the treatment of superstars has always been praised, so James will naturally get the top salary of the team when he is old, and the Lakers will definitely give him the face of a historical superstar.
All basketball information is in the basketball express!
Personally, I think it depends mainly on James' personal subjective reasons. From an objective analysis, it is also a top salary.
First of all, in terms of personal ability, James reached the peak when he debuted. His state has not declined for so many years. One person can also support a team. How many superstars in the league can compete with him now? Leonard. George? Harden? Shao Wei? Alphabet song? Dance. What if it's the playoffs? How many? Even if this contract ends, even if he is 37 years old, I feel that Lao Zhan has successfully transformed from this season to a lower position, and his personal ability is beyond doubt.
Followed by personal experience, there is nothing to say about this. Who entered the finals for seven consecutive years and looked at the whole league? Who has more experience in dealing with key balls than he does! Having an old man at home is like having a treasure. No matter which team you are on, you are fighting for it.
Finally, let me talk about the James effect. The most intuitive embodiment is economic value. James is in the Lakers, every game is full and ticket prices skyrocket. These are what the boss cares about most! There are also many international markets that stars can't match.
You have no reason not to give him a top salary for the above three points! Considering that Lao Zhan may give in, it is more decided by Lao Zhan's own will!
It should be signed in the form of a short contract, not less than 20 million, I think, or 40 million in two years, or about 25 million a year, depending on James' physical condition and competitive state. At the end of this contract, he may stop playing and retire. Maybe. James said he wouldn't accept himself as a substitute. James only played as a substitute once in his career, and he still played as a substitute to protect his teammates. In order to protect Varejao from being booed, James decided to let Varejao play as a substitute. It's really respectable. It is a lifetime blessing to have such a good teammate.
Debut is the peak. Ten years later, James' current contract is four years10.56 billion yuan. The contract expires in 2022, and it is not far away. In fact, the tradition of the Lakers is still relatively good. For decades, the Lakers have been very good at treating superstars in their twilight years. So James has a great chance to stay with the Lakers after his contract ends. Someone asked how big the next contract would be. How much do you think is appropriate?
The reputation of the Lakers is very important in the league. In Kobe's twilight years, when there was not much oil, the Lakers still offered a two-year contract of 40 million yuan, and it was not clear when James ran out of oil, so it was not too bad to treat James's twilight years.
In this team, many superstars have retired, such as Magic, West, Abdul-Jabbar, Kobe Bryant, and especially Kobe Bryant, who can still be treated as superstars in the case of achilles tendon rupture. As far as active stars are concerned, no player except James has such treatment. If James wants to play after his 38-year-old contract expires, the Lakers will still offer a generous contract with his current physical quality, because he is a symbol of the times.
James is in good health now. Judging from his performance in the new season, he is still a superstar in the league. Moreover, the Lakers are currently ranked first, which makes many people who look down on James really face. In another three years, James will take good care of his body without any injuries. 20 per game shouldn't be a problem.
To sum up, after James' contract expires, the Lakers will not lose money by giving him an annual salary of 25-30 million. This state and the signboard of the first player in the league are likely to sign a lucrative contract with the Lakers for another two years in the next year!
