The Lakers renewed their contract for 186 million yuan in three years, which is a win-win situation! The team points out two major risks： the problem is not just injuries.

On August 5th, Beijing time, it was the first day Anthony Davis was eligible to renew his contract in advance. The Lakers quickly offered a three-year maximum salary of $186 million, and Davis readily agreed. In this way, the 30-year-old Davis’ contract with the Lakers was extended to five years, with a total value of $270.5 million.

This renewal ensures that thick eyebrows will play for the Lakers until 2028. After James retires or joins another team, Davis will become a new leader, and his three-year contract renewal will start from the 2025-26 season, with an average annual salary of $62 million, setting a new record for the NBA’s average annual salary.

This is a win-win contract.

Buha, the Lakers’ record, said that this is a win-win contract for the Lakers and Davis. The Lakers have ensured the stability in the next five years, and there is no need to worry that James will retire and Davis will jump out of the contract next summer, leaving them facing the disaster of the free agent market. At the same time, Davis also got a long-term contract guarantee. After all, if he didn’t renew his contract in advance and suffered serious injuries in the new season, it would be difficult for him to sign such a good contract.

This is the second time Davis has renewed his contract with the Lakers. After winning the championship in 2020, Davis signed a new contract with the Lakers for five years and 190 million dollars. At that time, Davis chose a long-term contract, but at that time, Davis waited for more than a week to complete the signing. This time, the two sides only reached an agreement in just a few hours.

This signing can be regarded as a victory for the Lakers. If Davis refuses the player option and jumps out of the contract to sign, the Lakers will spend more money.

If Davis didn’t renew his contract in advance, but waited until he became a free agent, he would be eligible to sign a contract of $304 million, which is $344 million in six years, including the new season, instead of $270.5 million in five years. There is a one-year difference of 70 million between the two. The Lakers renewed their contract in advance, and the final salary paid was lower than his top salary in the 2024-25 season, and the risk in the later period of the contract was reduced.

Thick eyebrows were very dominant last season.

Last season, Davis re-entered the top ten players in the league, averaging 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.0 blocks in 56 games. His shooting percentage (56.3%) and real shooting percentage (62.7%) both reached career highs.

At the beginning of the season, there were signs that the Lakers were handing over the offense, or more broadly, the team to Davis. However, a complicated foot injury in mid-December made him miss 20 games in a row, and his offensive performance was also affected by the injury (28.1 points per game before the injury and 24.7 points per game after the injury). Nevertheless, after James tore his tendon in February, Davis tried to return as soon as possible and help the Lakers move on.

Davis in the playoffs, both offensive and defensive ends are dominant. In 16 games, he averaged 22.6 points, 14.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 3.1 blocked shots, among which both rebounds and blocked shots ranked first in the league. In the first two rounds, Davis was the best defender in the league, but in the Western Conference finals, he was offset by Jokic’s offensive talent, but in four defeats, he still averaged 26.8 points, 14 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.8 blocks.

More importantly, thick eyebrows played 47 of the Lakers’ last 50 games, including 26 consecutive games, which is his new record since the 2016-17 season.

There are two major risks in renewing contracts.

Buha pointed out that this contract renewal is not without obvious defects for the Lakers. The first risk is Davis’ injury history, and it has a long history. This is worrying for a player who will turn 35 at the end of his contract. There is enough evidence that he misses at least 15-20 games every season, while he has missed at least 26 games in the Lakers for three consecutive seasons, including at least 36 games in two seasons. Since the 2016-17 season, he has never played at least 65 games in a season.

The Lakers may find a way to manage his load, reduce his playing time, or let him play only one game back to back when he is in his thirties.

Another less discussed risk is the sharp decline of Davis’ outside projection ability. An important reason why the Lakers can win the championship in 2019-20 season lies in Davis’ impressive jump shot ability. In the second game of the Western Conference in 2020, his winning three points helped the Lakers beat the Nuggets.

However, since then, Davis’ jump shot percentage has been declining, especially the three-pointer percentage. From the data point of view, the number of three-point shots of Thick Eyebrows in these four seasons is decreasing, from 3.5 three-point shots per game in 2019-20 season to 2.8 in 2020-21 season, only 1.8 in 2021-22 season, and only 1.3 last season. The more inaccurate he is, the more afraid he is to shoot. During his time with the Lakers, Thick Eyebrows shot only 28.1% from three points, compared with 25.7% last season.

Poor shooting brings the problem of unstable attack with heavy eyebrows. This is also reflected in his performance in the playoffs is always ups and downs, sometimes good and sometimes bad. In the 2023 playoffs, his average score was only 22.6 points, which was 3.3 points lower than his average score in the career playoffs.

The Lakers will rely on him to recruit stars in the future.

Although it is risky to renew the contract, the Lakers have to do so because they can’t find a new superstar. Before James signed in 2018, the Lakers were trying to find a successor to Kobe. It was the signing of James that successfully attracted Davis.

Next, Davis will play the role of James to help the Lakers attract new stars to vote. When Davis is healthy, the upper limit of the Lakers is very high. They are one of the best teams in the league and have the ability to compete for the championship.

Looking forward to the future, Davis will be the pillar recommended by the Lakers to other future superstar partners. Brother Alphabet, Tatum and Mitchell may all become free agents in 2025 if they refuse the player option. At that time, Davis will be 32 years old. Although his status may have declined, he will still be an elite force at both ends of the offense and defense. If the Lakers can successfully attract another superstar to join them, their prospects will undoubtedly be bright.

Of course, for thick eyebrows, his fruitful cooperation with the Lakers will also lay his future position in this team. At least, there is no problem for his No.3 jersey to retire here.

Crazy! For the Lakers to reduce their salary by $44 million, the Rockets voiced their sadness and wanted to build a new Harden.

This offseason, Austin Reeves and the Lakers reached a new contract of $56 million for four years. At that time, the whole league was surprised. Many people didn’t understand why Reeves accepted such a low price to return to the team. Even many managers in the Lakers believe that Reeves will not come back. The Lakers really couldn’t offer Reeves a big contract, but in the end, when Pelinka finished signing Reeves, the public screen was covered with amazing barrage.

Earlier, it was reported that the Rockets gave Reeves 80 million yuan for four years, but he still chose to return to the Lakers. But today, it was revealed that the contract given by the rocket was not 80 million yuan, but as high as 100 million yuan in four years. ESPN reporter Tim MacMahon reported that the Rockets had focused on Reeves before choosing Van Jordan, and their plan had already given an offer of $100 million for four years. But in the end, the Rockets chose to retreat after much consideration. They didn’t think Reeves was expensive, but simply thought that the Lakers would match this offer. They had no reason to let Reeves go.

The Rockets didn’t want to waste time on a player with a high probability of returning to the Lakers, so they focused on Van Jordan. Tim MacMahon finally even bluntly said that if the Rockets offered Reeves an offer and the Lakers didn’t choose to match, then the Rockets wouldn’t get Van Jordan. They will take Reeves as the team leader, then pursue Tommy Tam and increase the contract offer for Daluo.

Unfortunately, in the face of the privilege given by the Rockets, Reeves did not take active actions to convince the Rockets to make an offer in the end. He chose to interrupt contact and actively communicate with the Lakers. According to the Arenas rule, the Lakers can only give the draft Reeves a maximum of $56 million for four years, and Reeves can get an offer of more than 100 million for four years in the free market, but there is an additional clause, that is, once Reeves gets an offer of more than 100 million for four years from other teams, the Lakers can ignore the rules and have the right to match.

In theory, if Reeves wants to maximize the benefits, he can use the rocket to raise the price and let them report 100 million yuan for four years. Whether the Lakers choose to match or not, Reeves can be invincible and secure $100 million, but he gave up this right. We can only say that Reeves absolutely loves the Lakers. He likes to play with LeBron James, and he hopes to finish the empty catch with thick eyebrows. From a practical point of view, joining the Rockets is really attractive.

Reeves’ foul-making ability in the Lakers is called Little Harden. The reconstructed rocket needs a young potential star who can lead the team. Reeves’ offensive and defensive performance is also extremely brave. Such a player is a perfect candidate for the Rockets to build the Uduka system. Reeves averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 3.4 assists in the regular season last season, with a shooting percentage of 52.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 40%. Reeves by going up one flight of stairs averaged 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists in the playoffs, among which his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 44.3%.

It is worth mentioning that in the last 11 games of Reeves’ regular season, he averaged 19.8 points, 6.1 assists and helped the Lakers play 9-2. Without Reeves’ superb performance, the Lakers might not even be in the seventh place in the West. It is interesting that Reeves is strong when he is strong, not just in the face of warriors. Reeves is the only player in the Lakers team who still has a significant improvement in data shooting percentage in the series of the Western Conference finals against the Nuggets. He averaged 21.3 points and 5.3 assists in 39.8 minutes, shooting 54.9% from the field and shooting 56% from three points. As a draft in 2021, Reeves took a two-way contract and got 56 million yuan for four years, which is a counterattack. Such a player who came from the bottom, leaving his four-year $100 million behind, drastically reduced his salary by 44 million, which is very difficult for most people. This is too difficult.

The current situation of the three major wingers of Inter Milan is worrying. Is it feasible to return to the Nerazzurri？

Not all the players who left can always perform as well as they did at Inter, and not all the players who left can be as happy as they were at Inter. Today, three players are not as smooth as they were at Inter, and some don’t even know where they will play next season. Such an encounter can’t help but make Nella feel emotional.

First of all, let’s talk about Perisic. Last season, the performance of "Sabre" in Inter Milan was like a god’s help. He almost propped up the entire left of the Nerazzurri on his own, and he is also one of the core members of coach Inzaghi’s tactics, which is very important in Inter Milan. However, due to the expiration of his contract, the 34-year-old wanted to win a high-paying contract in the second year of his career. However, due to the financial pressure, the senior management of Inter Milan could not bear it. Finally, under the call of the old coach Kong Di, he chose to leave Italy and join Tottenham in the Premier League.

However, at Tottenham, Perisic can’t enjoy the tactical position when he was at Inter Milan. Even with Kong Di’s support, he has to abide by the dressing room order. In Tottenham, only Harry Kane and Sun Xingyu will always be the star players. On the court, Sun Xingyu has always been the exclusive "channel" on the left. In this position, he can exert his greatest energy. Last season, he even got the Premier League Golden Boot.

However, the appearance of sabre has squeezed Sun Xingyi’s living space on the court. Not only can they not play the effect of 1+1>2, but they even have a situation of mutual restraint. A large part of the reason for Sun Xingyi’s poor performance this season is that they have never been able to form a tacit cooperation.

Because of his unsatisfactory performance, Perisic has never been recognized by Tottenham fans, and even often becomes the target of fans’ attacks. For Sabre, who is used to enjoying cheers and applause at Inter Milan, only he can understand the taste.

With the exit from the Champions League, Kong Di, the coach of Tottenham Hotspur, is also facing a crisis of leaving school. There are rumors that he is likely to leave Tottenham Hotspur at the end of the season. Once Kong Di leaves the team, Perisic’s life at Tottenham will be even more difficult. Of course, he may also be purged by Tottenham, so his whereabouts next season will be in doubt. In such an embarrassing situation, it is no wonder that he will show his thoughts about Inter Milan from time to time on social media. It is said that he once told his former teammates that he regretted leaving. Recently, there are rumors that he wants to return to Inter Milan next season. I wonder if Inter Milan will accept him again.

Also showing regret to leave the team is Ashraf, who is currently playing for Greater Paris. Although Ashraf has an excellent performance in Paris, he seems to be unhappy, which is largely due to the tension in the dressing room in Paris. As we all know, the relationship between Neymar and Mbappé is not harmonious, which also affects everyone in the team. Ashraf is even regarded as Mbappé’s minion by the outside world, which will make him feel unhappy. After he eliminated Spain in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, he even shouted the slogan "Forza Inter" in a live webcast, which won a lot of attention from Nella and reflected his dissatisfaction with Paris.

In addition to the complicated dressing room, the Moroccan even got into a lawsuit of "sexual assault" recently, which caused him to fall into a huge scandal and trouble. Although he thought he was set up, he still had to bear the criticism from the fans before the judicial conclusion was reached. Once the court makes a ruling against him, I don’t know how he will respond at that time, and I don’t know if he will regret leaving Inter more.

In addition to these two men, Nella are still paying attention to another veteran, that is, Cancelo, who is currently playing for Bayern. Although Machete has only played for one season at Inter Milan, he has left a deep impression on the fans of Inter Milan, and it is at Inter Milan that he made a name for himself and grew into an excellent right-back.

After the winter window this season, Cancelo was loaned to Bayern Munich by Manchester City. After a short honeymoon, his situation in Bayern became more delicate. He has missed starting for six consecutive games and played less and less, which made him feel lost. Originally, Bayern had a buyout clause of 70 million euros in his lease contract, but in this situation, it is absolutely impossible for Bayern, who has always been shrewd, to exercise this clause. In this way, Cancelo will be returned to Manchester City. But in the Blue Moon, I am afraid there is no place for him. Maybe after returning to Manchester City, Guardiola will choose to put him on the market for sale.

So is it really possible for any of these three people to return to Inter Milan? Personally, I think it is possible, but it is more difficult.

First of all, in terms of social status, apart from Pericic, who is worth around 15 million to 20 million euros due to age, Ashraf and Cancelo are both worth more than 50 million euros. Such a high price is definitely not affordable for financially strapped Inter Milan. Once again, the annual salary, Perisic’s annual salary in Tottenham is as high as 6 million euros after tax, and Ashraf is as high as 8 million euros after tax in Paris, but Cancelo’s annual salary is only 2.5 million euros after tax, which is the lowest among the three. For Inter Milan, except Cancelo’s annual salary, the salaries of the other two have exceeded the salary ceiling.

In addition to economic reasons, from a competitive point of view, on the left side dominated by Pericic, now Inter Milan have Gohsens and Dimarco. After leaving the team with his sword, Dimarco has made great progress, and Gohsens is gradually recovering his state in Atalanta, so I am afraid there is no shortage of people in this position. Moreover, Pericic is 34 years old after all, and his one-year mentality of Tottenham will be affected to some extent, so the state geometry is also something that Inter Milan needs to consider. From this point of view, even if Perisic really wants to return, I’m afraid the Nerazzurri will have to think about it.

On the right, Inter Milan intends to release the main right-back dumfries this summer, and Bellanova may also be returned, thus creating a vacuum on the right, and Inter Milan is bound to find a suitable target in the transfer market. Although both Ashraf and Cancelo play on the right, it is almost impossible for Inter Milan to have enough funds to sign them because of their worth and high annual salary, but if their owners can accept the loan, there will be huge room for operation!

So will Paris and Manchester City agree to loan? Personally, as far as Paris is concerned, it is almost impossible. With Ashraf’s current ability and state, unless the "sexual assault" lawsuit reaches the point where he can’t stay in France, it is difficult for Greater Paris to give him up. Once the lawsuit really reaches the point of forcing Moroccans to leave the team, they will also choose to sell in exchange for funds, and it is almost impossible to let him leave the team by loan. Of course, if the official extreme to the point where he was jailed, then Paris is estimated to be directly terminated rather than sold.

Cancelo is the most operable, first of all, the attitude of Manchester City. Although I don’t know why Blue Moon loaned him out, it at least shows that Manchester City is open to his departure, and even the loan is acceptable. Secondly, the annual salary. Although Cancelo has outstanding ability, his annual salary is not high, and it is within the range that Inter Milan can afford (if the information I have found is correct), then Inter Milan is totally worth a try.

Of course, it depends on the player’s wishes. Of these three people, Cancelo’s feelings for Inter Milan may be the most difficult to judge, and besides feelings, there are many teams he can choose, even including Real Madrid and Barcelona. For professional players, feelings are one aspect, and career prospects are the most realistic one. Therefore, even if Inter do reach an agreement with Manchester City, it will take some effort to convince Cancelo.

Of course, the above words are only personal, just for the pleasure of Neila, so don’t take them seriously.
