On June 30, Beijing time, the Lakers were dynamic overnight, James jumped out of the contract, and was expected to renew his contract with the Lakers and was willing to reduce his salary to renew the contract; Reddish is exercising a player option, the Lakers currently have 14 players on the roster (including James, who will be re-contracted), and Bronny's annual salary in his rookie season has been revealed, with an estimated $1.16 million.
James declined to exercise his final year's $51.4 million player option and is expected to renew his contract with the Lakers, eligible for a three-year, $162 million max contract extension, though Hayes reported that James is considering a salary cut to renew his contract in order to help the team strengthen and continue to win the championship.
James' agent, Rich Paul, officially announced that James officially jumped out of the player contract option, saying that he will discuss the next contract with the Lakers. If he is an influential player, he will prioritize the improvement of the squad. He has always insisted on doing everything he can to improve the squad.
Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin reported that free agent LeBron James' agent Rich Paul revealed that James will seek a max salary contract if the full mid-range salary ($12.95 million) space created by James through a pay cut in his new contract does not allow the Lakers to sign an influential player.
James' patience is limited: Team USA's training camp will begin in Las Vegas in a week's time, and he needs to reach an agreement with the team to get on the field for training camp.
James is willing to take a pay cut to help the team bring in guards like Thompson and Harden, as well as interior players like Valanciunas; According to Shams of The Athletic, Thompson and the Warriors are coming to the end of an era. According to sources, the Lakers, Clippers and Mavericks have all shown strong interest in Thompson, and the Warriors are willing to send Thompson away through a sign-and-trade deal.
According to NBA salary expert Yossi Gozla, Bronny's estimated annual salary is $1.16 million; In this year's draft, Bronny was selected by the Lakers with the No. 55 pick, and he will play for the Lakers on the same team as James in the new season.
The current players on the Lakers' roster are - James (annual salary to be determined), thick eyebrows (43.22 million), Russell (18.69 million), Hachimura (17 million), Reaves (12.98 million), Vincent (11 million), Vanderbilt (10.71 million), Schifino (3.88 million), Knecht (3.83 million), Wood (3.04 million), Hayes (2.46 million), Reddish (2.46 million), Lewis (1.89 million), Bronny (1.16 million)

Reddish exercised a 2.4 million player option today, and the Lakers made a qualifying offer for Christie. According to Lakers reporter Jovan Buha, the Lakers actually had 14 players on contract for next season when they entered free agency (assuming LeBron James re-signed as expected), and that's not counting their own free agents such as Max Christie (who would very much like to stay), Torrien Prince and Spencer Dinwiddie, and that's not even counting any players they want to sign on the free agency.
