LeBron is done as a Laker. Sometime between today and next July 1st, it’ll happen.
Thoughts on any implications of Luke extension?

it would have to be between now and the trade deadline.
Was thinking more if we thought it would impact the Fox number?
Not if he walks in FA.
No, I don’t think so. I see the Spurs throwing the full bag if he sign for 4-5 years so that there won’t be any complaining if he gets traded.
That would happen after July 1st then.
Technically, you’re a FA ON July 1st, and no longer a member of your former team, so ‘after June 30th’ is accurate. Your contract expires at the end of the day, 30 June.
He may not have a contract with the Lakers as of July 1st but he could not sign else were till afterwords.
going back to your original comment where you said he would be gone between now and July 1st. I counter with it would have to happen by the trade deadline if it was to happen as he could not be traded between the trade deadline and July 1st. You tried countering with him leaving during FA which he could but that would not satisfy your original date of July 1st. Just admit you were incorrect on your first comment instead of trying to did yourself deeper into a hole like you always do. For you posting so much on here you are constantly incorrect and can never admit when you are wrong even if it was a small miss statement.
He can and will be done as a Laker by July 1st. When his contract runs out on 30 June, he’s done as a Laker. He doesn’t have to have a new deal in place for that to happen.
The Lakers had private meetings with Luka to which he was not invited. This is also the first time he’s opted IN to his annual 1+1 deal, because he was pretty sure if he opted out, there would be no offer from LA. They’re done with him, too.
Just take your L, bro. The bolded part means he’s no longer a Laker.
What have I said that has been incorrect? Your original statement was incorrect and you cannot even realize it. When someone quotes you you have to come in and argue with it.
As far as your last statement I believe he will leave also but until he does we wont know for certain. He can talk about it all he wants. There have been times where players have talked about leaving in the past and did not.
You have to be one of the worst posters on here as you post so many things that are incorrect or stated as fact when it is not.
Fox should get the max in 26-27 and 27-28 seasons, having his and Wemby's max on the payroll will be manageable, after that we could get into salary issues if Castle develops into a rookie max extension level player.
28-29 with some discount. That summer will be a key point for the roster because Harper's extension kics in. If he lives up to the expectations, keeping both him and Fox on max deals wouldn't really make sense.
Team option would be ideal because we could re-negotiate a team friendly extension if Fox wants to keep competing. He'll be turning 32 in 2029.
If not, Spurs can just trade his expiring contract for role players.
Any talk of trading Fox before 2027 at the earliest is nonsense because right now he's clearly the second best player on the roster and you don't trade your second best player if you're trying to compete.
Fair amount of chatter he won’t be getting full max
It mean anything if there isn't an announcement today? Do Spurs even do weekend press releases etc?
I've been saying for a few months something like a 3+1/200 with max's in the first two years followed by maximum allowable declines in year 3 and 4 (player option).
I'm going to stick with this prediction.
Doesn't mean anything tbh.
That is probably a good guess
Something like this makes sense to me. The team is clearly going to have trouble with Castle-Harper-Fox at some point in the future. I don't believe Fox is worth the max at all, that's absurd, but getting him money while we have the wiggle room is the way to go.
Fox worked his way to the Spurs and they need to acknowledge and reward that, and he's a Klutch guy, and it seems the Spurs are going in on making Klutch happy. Make Klutch happy, they'll make you happy, even if they're s my.
obviously it would be pretty nonsensical to have concern/panic just because an extension wasnt signed within the first 24 hours of eligibility, but you'd have to think there had been all sorts of discussion/negotiation since the day he was traded leading up to yesterday. i would have expected a deal to be announced pretty quick. if anything this indicates the team is not willing to just give him the full max, in which case a deal would already have been announced
Key word: future.
I can't see Harper being better than Fox before his third, probably fourth season in the league.
We have this guy named Wemby who will probably be good enough for MVP conversations right away and he shouldn't wait for Harper/Castle to develop.
Fox isn't a legit superstar, but looking at rosters around the league, how many teams can say they have a better second option than Fox?
As of now, it's Flagg, Murray, Jimmy, FVV, Harden, Lebron, Ja, Randle, Murphy, Williams if we're talking serious teams in the West.
How many of those guys you think will have a better season than Fox?
Something disastrous would have to happen for Fox to have negative value in 2029 when Harper's extension kicks in.
As long as we can get rid of him then (if it's even going to be needed) without attaching assets, we have nothing to worry about.
Fox maxed out 229m/4 per Shams
Managing the salary cap gets a lot more interesting from here on out. Wright is good at the deals on the margins, but now those margins will have a magnifying glass under them now that rest of the roster moves from rookie contracts to extensions over the coming years.
no player option, no trade kicker
So much for that
