AD Likely to Sign a 2+1 contract to align with LeBron
LeBron's contract extension feels like a prelude to Anthony Davis signing a 2+1 deal with the Lakers that lines up their contracts and makes sure Davis gets paid more (35% of cap) he gets to 10 years of service.
It also keeps the Lakers in title contention though 2023

This. LeBron was going into an option year & historically has used that to exert tons of leverage. But he just won a championship, lives where he wants to live & has a superstar teammate to keep chasing rings with. Rob Pelinka & Co. score a rare kind of commitment from LeBron. https://t.co/CtSdgSPAQT

New story: LeBron James re-upped with the Lakers on Wednesday with a deal that will take him through his 20th season and on the brink of his 40s https://t.co/zbBco9AU9H

LeBron is lining up that contract so he can be a free agent and end his career with whoever drafts Bronny isnt he. The amount of tanking + tampering about to go down in 2023 will never be topped. No doubt in my mind Rich Paul will run out of the tunnel as a special guest referee.
