Missed 5 years of 345 million! Sign 165 million in 3 years? Famous reporter: Doncic is generally expected to renew his contract with the Lakers

Starting from August 3 this year, Doncic is eligible to renew his contract with the Lakers in advance.

According to The Athletic famous reporter Sam Amick, the outside world generally expects Doncic to complete an early contract renewal with the Lakers this summer.

Bobby Marks previously stated that starting from August 3, Doncic is eligible to renew his contract with the Lakers in advance. Due to being traded by the Mavericks, Doncic missed a super maximum salary. He can sign up to a four-year, $229 million maximum salary contract this summer, of which a starting salary of $51 million in the 2026-27 season will replace the player option for the last season of his original contract. And more likely: a three-year, $165 million maximum salary contract, including third-year player options. This short-term contract renewal allows Doncic to return to the free market faster and may make up for the super maximum salary lost when traded by the Mavericks ($345 million in five years).

Doncic's existing contract expires in 2027. He has a salary of about $43.03 million this season, about $46 million in the 2025-26 season, and is a player option worth $48.97 million in the 2026-27 season.

After being traded to the Lakers, Doncic played 28 regular season games, averaging 28.2 points, 8.1 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game; in the playoffs, Doncic made 5 appearances, averaging 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1 steal per game.
