Jeanie Buss on LeBron James: 'He's still a bargain to me'
LeBron is set to earn $48.7 million in the 2024-25 campaign after signing a 2-year, $101.4 million extension with the Lakers this summer. “I think he’s so competitive, it’s really gotta be something that he wants to do,” Buss told Petros and Money on AM 570 LA Sports. “We always support our players in the decisions that they make in regards to playing for their national team or not.” “It was something that was important to LeBron, and yes, he is our highest-paid player, but he’s still a bargain to me. He’s absolutely amazing,” Buss continued.Source: BasketNews

Rumor: Lakers ideally like Luka Doncic as the possible face of the franchise after LeBron
They can like it all they want, right now Doncic is very happy in Dallas (a team that went to the Finals last June). He’s more likely to extend than leave.
