LeBron James last night extended his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers and today (Thursday) it was the turn of additional star Anthony Davis to do so.

The excellent domestic player has closed on a new 5-year contract, during which he will earn $ 190 million, according to Adrian Wojnajowski of ESPN.

Before the fifth season (2024/25) the parties will be able to exit the deal if they wish.

The contract is expected to be officially signed in the coming hours.



Davis (27, 2.08m), who could have become a free agent if he wanted to, came to the Lakers last summer after a huge trade that sent Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Josh Hart and three future first-round picks to New Orleans.

The price was high, but so was the value: the great inside player provided 27.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game during the playoffs and helped the club win the 17th championship in its history.

James, for his part, closed last night for another two years for $ 85 million - the highest contract in history for this time period.

This will ensure that the NBA star will become the first player in league history to cross the $ 400 million mark he earned throughout his career, with King James overtaking Kevin Garnett by the end of next season.



The forward who won the championship with Boston has earned $ 334.3 million throughout his extensive career, while LeBron stands before the start of the season on revenue of $ 306 million from the various contracts he has signed.

In the 2020/21 season James will earn $ 39.2 million (as of the previous contract he signed), in 2021/22 he will earn $ 41.2 million and in 2022/23 he will receive $ 44.5 million from the Lakers.



When he finishes his contract with the Lakers, LeBron will be 38. According to estimates in the United States, he made the current contract extension with a view to the future - in the summer of 2023, when he becomes a free agent, his eldest son Bruni will be able to join the league, then finish high school.

Adam Silver has already announced that in the near future high school players will not be required to move to college before being drafted, so it is not inconceivable that LeBron is planning his future so he can play at least one more season alongside his talented son.

If he retires at the end of his contract, LeBron will end his career with earnings of about $ 435 million in salaries, alongside the hundreds of millions of dollars he earned in various advertising contracts.

"They got a discount," Matt Barnes said of LeBron's contract.

"It's impossible to quantify what he does and what he did for the Lakers in his short time in Los Angeles. It's like the contract they gave Kobe Bryant at the end of his career. LeBron deserves to become the first player in history to receive $ 50 million a season, but I'm sure 85 for two years also works. ".
