According to exclusive information from the Lakers’ executive office, the five-year, $350 million contract that Dončić just signed not only broke all previous records but also included unprecedented terms:
A median salary of $70 million/year, far surpassing the previous record contract of Jaylen Brown
A full no-trade clause – something that has never been granted to any player under the age of 25
15% stake in the Lakers Organization’s future business projects
An insider revealed: “This is not just a contract. We are crowning the future of the Lakers. Luka will officially take over the throne as soon as LeBron James decides to retire.”
A Declaration of War to the League
During a dramatic press conference at Crypto.com Arena, Dončić silenced the crowd with his bold statement: “Golden State? Boston? I remember the losses in the past. Now it’s time for them to feel it.”
Experts reveal Dončić made special demands before signing:
Ask the Lakers to trade Austin Reaves and three first-round draft picks for Rudy Gobert
Ask to appoint Jason Kidd as associate head coach
Demand exclusive access to LeBron James’ personal hyperbaric oxygen treatment room
Shocking Waves Across the League
The reaction from rivals quickly spread like a seismic wave:
In San Francisco, Steph Curry immediately canceled a regular golf practice while coach Steve Kerr was seen watching images of Dončić scoring 73 points in a game.
In Boston, Jayson Tatum quickly stopped following Dončić on Instagram, while the team adjusted its flight schedule to spend time discussing options for reinforcements.
LeBron James also added to the controversy when he posted and quickly deleted an Instagram story recreating the 2010 “The Decision” event with the cryptic caption: “History loves company.”
