NY Knicks Are Reportedly Signing a $70 Million Contract Deal With Lakers Star Player, Pending on…
LeBron James’ offseason actions will have a big impact on Los Angeles’ willingness to deal AD. James intends to exercise his contract opt-out and may consider exploring NBA free agency. If that’s the case, the Lakers would probably have to rebuild from scratch. That would entail a possible trade for Davis.
In 2023–24, Anthony Davis scored 24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and shot 55.6%.
Davis, 31, has a contract that runs through the 2024–25 campaign. Next year, he will be counting $43.22 million against the cap. Very few teams, short of pressuring the Lakers to acquire big-time contracts themselves, could afford that kind of salary.
One team that might offer a bundle of young players and first-round selections to the Lakers in exchange for Davis is the Knicks. Up to eleven first-round selections are available to New York through the 2030 NBA Draft. Once more, it has the resources to make a move of this nature.
