On May 6, a big news was like a huge rock thrown into the calm lake, causing layers of ripples. According to ESPN's famous reporter McMahon, Doncic is eager to play for the Lakers and is determined to win the championship trophy that symbolizes supreme honor for this team. Now, it seems only a matter of time before the two sides reach a contract renewal, and Doncic's plan to stay in the team is like a few paths on the table, waiting for him to make the final choice.

McMahon's words in the show seemed to be a key, opening the door to people's curiosity about Doncic's future direction. He said: "I would be very surprised if he (Doncic) did not renew his contract this summer." This simple sentence revealed a certainty. Although he had not talked about this directly with Luca, through communicating with people who were familiar with Doncic, McMahon believed that Doncic had now devoted himself to the Lakers. Although the process of being traded may break him, at this moment, he only has the goal of winning the championship for the Lakers. He is like a lonely warrior, with firm belief in his heart and climbing towards the unreachable but tempting peak of glory.

Previously, salary expert Marks had conducted in-depth analysis of Doncic's contract renewal plan. There are roughly three options, each of which is like a unique path leading to a different future. The first plan is to complete the existing contract ($45.99 million in the 2025-26 season), and then refuse to implement the player option for the 2026-27 season (48.96 million) and sign a five-year, $296 million new maximum salary contract with the Lakers in the summer of 2026. It's like a carefully planned long-distance race, completing the established journey step by step in the early stage, and then sprinting at the right time to get richer returns. Doncic can continue to perform well in the following seasons, accumulating more honors and data, and sign that huge contract with the Lakers in a more mature and powerful manner by the summer of 2026. The second plan is to sign a new contract with the Lakers directly starting from August 3, which will be a four-year maximum salary contract worth $219.4 million. The details are as follows: the 2026-27 season is 51 million, the 2027-28 season is 55.1 million, the 2028-29 season is 59.2 million, and the 2029-30 season is 63.3 million. This plan is like a steady journey, and can achieve stable income growth every year, which not only guarantees current economic interests, but also provides a solid economic foundation for future development.

Plan III is a 2+1 contract renewal contract, with 51 million in the 2026-27 season, 55.1 million in the 2027-28 season, and 59.2 million in the 2028-29 season. Doncic can break out of the contract in the summer of 2028 and sign a five-year maximum salary contract with the Lakers. This solution is like a flexible investment strategy, locking in certain benefits in the early stage, while retaining greater development space and possibilities for future gains. Doncic can make smarter choices based on his physical condition, competitive state and the team's future development in 2028.

From the perspective of maximizing interests, many people expect Doncic to choose Plan 3. This season, Doncic's performance on the field was amazing. He has played in 50 regular season games, averaging 28.2 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 7.7 assists per game, just like a tireless scoring machine, seeking on the offensive end. He played 5 games in the playoffs, and averaged 30.2 points, 7 rebounds, and 5.8 assists per game, as if he had turned into a God of War and turned the tide at a critical moment. However, the reality of the Lakers losing to the Timberwolves 1-4 in the first round of the playoffs and being eliminated also adds a hint of uncertainty to Doncic's future. But this also strengthened his determination to win the Lakers. He was like a persistent explorer, not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, and was determined to conquer the highest mountain.

For the Lakers, Doncic's joining is undoubtedly a shot of heart-warming agent. They know very well that having such a talented player is like having the key to open the door to the championship. The team's management and coaching staff are actively preparing for Doncic's arrival and developing a tactical system that suits him, just like creating the most handy tool for a skilled craftsman. They hope to reshape their glory under Doncic's leadership and win the championship trophy that symbolizes the highest honor of the NBA.

For Doncic, choosing to stay in the team is not only to realize his championship dream, but also a kind of trust and expectation for the Lakers. He saw the potential and determination of the Lakers, and believed that in this team, he could realize his own value and write his own legend. He is like a shining star, eager to shine even more dazzling light in this vast sky of the Lakers.

In the hearts of fans, Doncic's combination with the Lakers is full of expectations. They have expressed their opinions on social media. Some fans believe that Doncic's choice of plan 3 is the wisest thing to get the greatest benefits in the future; some fans hope that Doncic can renew his contract as soon as possible and embark on a new journey with the Lakers. Various views and discussions are intertwined on the Internet, forming a lively scene.

No matter which solution Doncic chooses in the end, his future is full of infinite possibilities. He is like a rising star, shining with a unique light in the NBA sky. And his story with the Lakers will also become a legend that fans talk about.
