The Lakers and Anthony Davis renewed their contract for 3 years and $0.186 billion in advance.
In response, a western executive talked about his thoughts to Heavy reporter Sean Deveney. He said, “none of this happened out of thin air. You can read a lot from it, such as the speed of renewal. There must be James’s factor, and there is always one.”
“Davis’s renewal has something to do with Rich Paul, and James has a certain degree of responsibility for what Davis did in the Lakers. Of course, they must have communicated.”
“If LeBlanc wants to leave, their dialogue will be completely different. If LeBlanc considers leaving the Lakers, Davis will also change his mind about the renewal. But the current message is that he wants Davis to stay. Therefore, this indicates that they will continue to cooperate.”
