The three-year extension ensures Anthony Davis will be a Los Angeles Laker through 2028. Even with the notable injury concerns and regressions as a jump shooter, the Lakers had to make this deal. jovanbuha explains why:
earlier in the summer, one offseason objective remained for Los Angeles: Lock up Davis, one of the franchise’s cornerstones, for most of the remaining decade.
“Couldn’t think more highly of Anthony Davis as a Laker and as a player,” Pelinka said in Las Vegas on July 9. “He’s helped deliver a championship to our franchise. He’s been an incredible captain and leader. The extension is a win-win for both sides. The Lakers guarantee stability over the next half-decade, no longer having to worry about the disaster scenario of James retiring and Davis opting out and leaving them in free agency next summer. Davis, meanwhile, gets the long-term security that might not have been there had he suffered another significant injury this season.
If anything, this deal is probably more of a win for the Lakers, considering they’ll save money on the back end of his contract compared to what could’ve happened had Davis declined to extend and instead exercised his early termination option to become a free agent in 2024.
