The contract renewal is up to 4 years of 96.5 million! Team reporter: DFS is willing to stay with the Lakers, but wants a long-term contract

Today, Lakers' team reporter Dave McMenamin wrote an article looking forward to the Lakers' offseason and talking about Finney Smith. He wrote: "Dorian Finney Smith had left ankle surgery after the season. He was going to decide whether to execute the last year's player option by Sunday local time, which is worth $15.4 million next season. He is eligible to renew his contract before Monday's free agent market opens."

"According to ESPN's Bobby Max, the Lakers can provide Finney Smith with a three-year, worth $54 million USD before Saturday. The Lakers can offer him a four-year, $90.2 million contract from Sunday to next Monday. "

" If Finney Smith chooses to execute the $15.4 million next season's player option, assuming he signs after the free agent freeze ends on July 6, he is eligible to sign a four-year, $96.5 million contract. A source familiar with the negotiations told ESPN, though Finney Smith is interested in returning to the Lakers, but if the only way to stay with the Lakers is to execute existing contracts, he may go elsewhere to seek a multi-year contract. "

" Finney Smith's stay and stay issue could have a significant impact on the Lakers' options available. If he leaves, the Lakers will pay three second-round picks for the half-season 'loan' after getting Finney Smith from the Brooklyn Nets trade. And they will also Losing a popular figure in the locker room, and a player Redick trusts completely. "

" But his departure will allow the Lakers to enable a full $14.1 million middle-class special case, which can be used separately to chase multiple free agents seeking a higher salary than the veteran's base salary contract. And if the Lakers don't use the full middle-class special case, they can take on more salaries in the trade and include the extra salary in the remaining amount of the middle-class special case."
