Fox renewed the Spurs after 230 million in four years.

Luca renewed the Lakers with 165 million in three years.

- Are Fox and Luca the same level players?

—Not it, everyone has a time difference.

Fox's contract is of course slightly higher: there were rumors that he would renew his contract with a slightly lower salary and give the Spurs a discount, similar to Irving in Dallas.

But finally the Spurs gave this salary, and they should be paid: the Spurs had almost no cost to switch to Fox, and they also handled Collins' contract, and giving the maximum salary was also a gift.

So the Spurs can have the peak years of Fox - 27 to 31 years old.

As for the future? The three teenagers of the Spurs - Vinban Yama, Harper and Castle - were all young, so a time difference was formed here: the Spurs could raise Fox first and eat the cheap contracts of the three teenagers.

Wenban Yama should only be able to get a super high salary of 35% in 2031.

Unless Castle and Harper have become All-Stars by the end of their rookie contracts, there will be no situation where "Wenbanyama Castle Harper Fox squeezes wages".

Conversely, if Harper and Castle renewal conflicts with Fox in the future, it will cause a headache for the Spurs, it will be a happy trouble:

Similar to Thunder this summer, happily "Chette and Jewish, you are so young and promising," while spending a lot of money.

Other side, Luca.

Three years 165 million is the beginning, and it is more like Luca responding to the Lakers' promise - if he were still in Dallas, Luca could have had 315 million in five years. The plot of the following will basically be:

Luca's two-year contract was executed; in 2028, based on the operation of the Lakers in 2027, a five-year, super contract of 417 million was continued:

At that time, the Lakers will unfold.

After getting Luca last season, even though LeBron suffered a groin injury and Luca worked out, he still ended the third in the regular season. Summer: Hayes is upgraded to Ayton, Smart + Laravia replaces the electric fan. Complete lineup.

lineup, roughly:

defenders: Luca, Reeves, Smart, Vincent, Kneckett.

Forwards: LeBron, Hachimura, Laravia, Van Debiao.

Center: Ayton, Klebe, Crocker.

The ideal situation for the next season is: the Lakers will try rotation first, and Luca will play the main role in the regular season.

If Ayton and Luca have a chemical reaction and Smart can maintain healthy and provide defense, then play smoothly: after all, it is the third-best modified version of the West, and LeBron is healthy and waits until the playoffs, and everything is possible.

If you really feel that you are just one step away from the championship, before the deadline, the Lakers still have some expiring contracts that can be exchanged. By the end of next season, the Lakers can decide how to treat the future based on the results.

The newly signed Ayton and Smart this summer are both two-year contracts. This means that the Lakers bet on this team is to see 2027 first:

that summer, they had huge space to sign anyone.

Then in 2028, Luca can last for 417 million for five years, and the next era of the Lakers will take shape.
