4 years of $207 million! Compared with Jordan! Luca has successfully lost weight, he wants to win the scoring champion + MVP

NBA is a stage for superstars. When a person has given great responsibilities, he must first suffer his mind and mind, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body, and lose his body. He will do whatever he wants. Therefore, he will move his heart and endure his nature and increase his ability. Take last season for example. The Thunder team made a new record in team history, & and won the first championship trophy in team history. SGA is the number one hero. He completed the scoring champion + MVP + Western Conference Final MVP + Championship + FMVP Grand Slam in a single season, and was in the limelight! In the words of fans, SGA has been sharpening his sword for seven years and has always shown his sharpness. The efforts and sweat he put in behind will inevitably surpass ordinary people's imagination.

Before the first season of SGA, Luca, the same rookie, was even more popular! Luca is at its peak when she debuts. She is not only the new driver of the Mavericks, but also the face of the league's high hopes for. Luca is indeed handsome and playable. She has been selected as the All-Star starter and the Best Team of the Year for five consecutive years, won the Scoring Trophy, and led the Mavericks to return to the finals stage. But what is the result? Just after Luca's highest season, the Mavericks chose to "cash out at a high level" and traded Luca to the Lakers. At that time, the Mavericks' arguments about this deal were even more murderous: we must win in the present and strive for the championship, but Luca's professional attitude and body management are not enough to achieve all this.

This sudden transaction caused Luka to suffer heavy losses and missed the opportunity to sign a five-year, US$345 million super maximum salary contract this summer. In the end, Luca and the Lakers reached a three-year, $161 million short-term contract. Including the salary of US$49.64 million in the new season, Luca's total salary for the next four years will reach US$207 million, which is not a small amount. Of course, Luca has greater ambitions. He is qualified to pursue a five-year, $418 million super maximum salary contract as a 10-year veteran in the summer of 2028. But then again, whether Luca can achieve this goal as she wishes will be crucial for the next 2-3 years. In the words of NBA legend Arenas, Luca must win the championship within 2-3 years, which is the basic requirement of the Lakers for all stars.

First of all, we must admit that Luca is indeed a super giant born for the playoffs stage. The bigger the stage, the stronger the magic. According to statistics on the NBA official website, Luca has played a total of 55 playoff games so far in his career, averaging 30.9 points per game. He is the second player in NBA history to average 30+ in his playoffs, and is comparable to Jordan (33.4 points). Superstars such as O'Neal, Kobe (25.6 points), Iverson (29.7 points), Durant (29.3 points), James (28.4 points), Curry (26.8 points) and other superstars have not been able to do it.

But it is undeniable that winning the championship requires the right time, place and people. Let’s take a look at the current league pattern: young teams such as the Thunder and Rockets have risen super, the Nuggets, Clippers, and Knicks are armed to the teeth, while the Lakers’ lineup is a bit like “old and broken”, and the road to winning the championship is destined to be a long way to go. It is not difficult to see from the Lakers' unwillingness to provide James with contract renewal. The Lakers have already targeted the 2027 offseason in advance. At that time, they may use the team's salary space to find helpers for Luca and build a real champion. Before this, Luca knew her shame and bravely, and had higher requirements for herself. According to NBA famous reporter Ashish Mathur, league sources revealed that Luca successfully lost weight and lost 30 pounds (27 pounds).

At present, Luca is preparing for the European Championship. An NBA scout who watched the Slovenia VS Germany warm-up game on site admitted after watching Luca's performance: Luca looks great. He is faster, has stronger explosiveness and is easier to break through. I think he comes with a mission. The Mavericks used to mock him in disguise for being distorted and he wants to take revenge. I think he will get the scoring champion + MVP next season. That's right, for Luca, the Lakers' lineup integrity and depth are still at a disadvantage compared to top teams such as the Thunder, Rockets, Nuggets, Clippers, and Knicks. The difficulty of winning the championship is not small, but he himself is a relatively pragmatic goal to hit the scoring champion + MVP. I hope Luca can stay healthy and do her best to strive for the scoring champion + MVP. Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
