Anthony Davis could be a free agent in 2024, but the Lakers are willing to prevent such a thing from happening. According to Dave McMenamin, a journalist for ESPN, it is expected that the franchise and the player reach an agreement to sign an extension, guaranteeing his future and avoiding possible speculation. In fact, as he states, it is even to be expected that said agreement will be reached before the start of the training camparriving at the start of the 23-24 season with everything resolved.
McMenamin comments that Rob Pelinka holds AD in high esteem, as he appreciates the effort he has made to play despite his foot discomfort and considers him a fundamental part of the ring they conquered in 2020. He also adds that the franchise does not believe that They can find another man who contributes the same as him along with LeBron, neither through a transfer nor in free agency, so ensuring his continuity seems like the most logical option.
Davis has a contract until 2025, but has an Early Termination Option that, similar to a player option, you could allow it to go on the market next summer if you think you can find better options. Aware of this, the Angelenos do not want to run the risk of being left without one of their most important men, and that is why the agreement is expected to take place in the coming months.

La Ceja has been a somewhat frustrating player for several years due to his continuous physical problems, but in the last playoffs he has shown that, when he is healthy, he is a differential player like few others. During the playoffs he was a true beast in the paint, leading the postseason in rebounds (14.1) and blocks (3.1) per game and making it clear that any success these Lakers aspire to will largely come from him.
