Speaking of Doncic signing a three-year, 165 million contract renewal, Shams said: "In many ways, this is equivalent to officially announce that Luka Doncic has become the future face of the Lakers team. But from a business perspective, this is the core purpose of this contract."

" Due to the transaction between the Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks in February this year, Doncic missed a four-year, $345 million maximum salary, which is a super maximum salary. So, he signed this three-year contract, which means he missed that big contract. By 2028, he can choose to jump out of the contract."

"In the next three years, he can observe what the Lakers will do and see how the team will continue to consolidate the status of the championship contender. In essence, he can personally evaluate the Lakers in these three years. After that, he can sign a five-year max contract renewal contract of nearly $420 million, so that he can make up for a large part of the previous missed income."

"No team can treat stars like the Lakers, so he is Experience this for yourself. On Saturday night, Jenny Bass, new owners Mark Walter and Pelinka all went to the Backstreet Boys concert and got along very happily. The way they treated Luca Doncic was exactly the same as when they first got him. He is the team's face now, and they hope it will be like this in the next ten years, but these three years are also an important inspection period for him to see if the team can enter the championship ranks. So, there are also many business considerations involved. "
