HE STAY
That’s so fucking cheap bro lmao
Only 55 mil for a perennial MVP caliber player in this market is insane value.
**WE GOT OUR GUY** 😭😭😭😭
Best birthday news ever lol thanks nico
That’s actually a bargain
People on this Reddit really thought he wouldn’t resign 😂
wtf this sub told me he’s going to Denver?? Why would a global superstar want to live in LA and be a Laker??
Lakers get their franchise guy
Fuck Nico lol
Imagine showing Mavs fans this a year ago…
Still can’t believe this is our reality now…
FIRE NICO
And now we wait to see what Pelinka has been cooking up…
Kinda crazy how both Luka and Brunson ended up making less money than their values of you think about it.
Lakers should build a statue of Nico outside Crypto
Nico harrison’s life bout to be a living hell for the next 3 seasons
Dont worry mavs fans, yall still got flagg for 7 yrs till he gets fat
Did anyone ever think this wasn’t going to be a 2 + 1 deal?
Because he’ll opt out after 2 and then the 10 year super max kicks in on that 3rd year
Nico fucked him
How much would his extension be if he was on dallas. He lost some real money being traded away
Not a Lakers fan but this sub told me he was leaving sunny LA and Hollywood for Denver😂😂😂😂😂😂
Prob the longest publicity tour leading to an extension in a while. Everyone knew it was heading to something like this starting a week ago
Remember when people on here actually thought Luka was leaving 😂😂😂
Makes so much sense. In 2 years, he opts out of his player option, sees if the Lakers are actually cooking something or he takes his fat supermax somewhere else.
poor luka only getting 55ms a year
He’s gonna sign for 5 year 400+ mil contract when this one is up
Committed to donating $5 million to help 77 young athletes from around the world too. Total class act.
Damn… the Lakers are really about to build a dynasty around Luka aren’t they?
Fuck.
We, Kings fan, can finally stop talking about the what ifs.
They never would have paid this.
Not even making AI money.
That’s a lot of Golden Corral money
Send Nico to Guantanamo
Contract extension summarized
His Current contract was:
2025-26: $46.0 million
2026-27- $49.0 milion (player option)
New veteran extension:
2026-27: $51.0 million
2027-28: $55.1 million
2028-29: $59.2 million (Player option. So lakers have 3 years to build something in LA)
Total: $165.3 million
Will this affect the chances of Denver signing him in the 26-27 free agency? I was told he will not sign with the Lakers and will sign with the Nuggets because he wants to play with Jokic. Lmao
Where the clowns that said he was leaving 😂😂
The Lakers have officially committed to Luka as their face of the franchise.
I can’t wait to see Luka drop 60 on the Mavs every time he faces them for the rest of his career. Or at least until Nico is gone.
Knicks are paying this much for Karl Anthony Towns
Opening night should be Nico bobblehead night.
Man this will never stop hurting. Still doesn’t feel real.
Fire Nico and Sell the Team.
Starting 5 in 2026:
1) Luka Doncic
2) Lebron James
3) Bonny James
4) Bryce James
5) Nikola Jokic
Luka $55M per, Booker $75M per.
Lmao.
Rename “Pico Blvd” to “Nico Blvd”
“Imagine if Luka doesn’t sign and walks for nothing!”
🤡🤡🤡
Mavs biggest fumble in history
Everybody saying it’s alright they got Flagg. Less than 10% chance he’s ends up having the All NBA impact Luka has. Dude has been in the MVP conversation every year since his rookie season.
Mavs suck. Luka deserves the Supermax. He brought them to the finals by himself.
The phrase, “Basketball Terrorist” is overused.
Nico Harrison is a Basketball Terrorist.
Not even a supermax lmao. Fucking steal
