The Los Angeles Lakers seem to be following in the footsteps of the OKC Thunder as far as summer spending sprees are concerned, as it was announced on Saturday that the franchise has extended superstar Luka Doncic to a three-year, $165 million max contract.
With this move, it now locks the All-World talent into LA's plans through at least the summer of 2028, where he holds a player option for the third and final season.
In turn, his stay with the Lakers serves as assurance that the ball club will remain a formidable foe of Oklahoma City's for at least the next few years.
