Slovenian media: Doncic returns to the United States on August 2 to renew his contract with the Lakers, expected to sign a maximum salary of 4 years

On July 24, the Lakers' biggest task this summer is to renew Doncic early. Previously, US media reported that the Lakers would visit Doncic to discuss contract renewal during the European Championships. However, according to local Slovenian media reports, Doncic plans to fly to the United States to discuss renewal with the Lakers before preparing for the European Championship training camp, and is expected to sign a four-year, $223 million contract (the Slovenian media's $229 million in four years was wrong).

Doncic has joined the Lakers for half a season. Although he led the team to the first round of the game this year, he has become the absolute core player of the Lakers. The Lakers have regarded Doncic as the team's number one star, and their importance has exceeded James's. After all, the Lakers' attitude towards the two this summer has said everything.

Doncic has previously helped the Lakers recruit Ayton and Smart one after another, which also shows that he is willing to continue playing for the Lakers.

Now according to the latest reports, Doncic will postpone reporting to the national team to prepare for the European Championship. According to Slovenian men's basketball coach Sekulic, Doncic will arrive in the United States on August 2. Doncic can renew his contract with the Lakers in advance starting from August 3, and the Lakers will undoubtedly give the contract Doncic wants.

Since Doncic was traded to the Lakers by the Mavericks, he cannot sign a 5-year super maximum salary contract, but Doncic can have two options, namely signing a 4-year contract of US$223 million or 3-year $160 million. The second option is the 2+1 plan, and the last year player option. At that time, he can break out of the contract and reach the NBA's 10-year requirements in 2028, and sign a 5-year super maximum salary contract of approximately US$418 million.

However, according to Slovenian media reports, Doncic is expected to sign a four-year contract of US$223 million. According to Sekulic, "I expect Doncic to return to the team to prepare for the European Championship after August 4, when he will fulfill all obligations in the United States."
