Anthony Davis commitment to Lakers not expected until next week

The Los Angeles Lakers have been busy in the marketplace adding to their team ahead of their title defense. But the biggest piece on the chessboard for the Lakers, who is a very likely bet to return to the Purple and Gold, is still weighing his options when it comes to the kind of contract he wants to sign to stay in L.A.

According to the latest report from ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Davis is not in any rush to sign a deal with the Lakers and he will likely wait through Thursday’s Thanksgiving holiday before making any moves towards a deal.

There’s a variety of deals that Davis can sign and it appears unlikely at this point that Davis would do a deal longer than two years. Davis just finished his 8th season of NBA service and he can score an even bigger max deal after 10 years of service. LeBron James’ contract runs through the 2022-23 season, which is something for Davis to consider as well when it comes to renegotiating with the Lakers.
