The Los Angeles Lakers are optimistic they can re-sign Anthony Davis, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

Despite the financial repercussions of the coronavirus pandemic, the Lakers believe they can afford offering Davis a lucrative extension in the offseason.

“The Lakers, however, still likely will have no issues in re-signing star Anthony Davis, as their local television deal brings them around $200 million annually, sources said.

Added with their national television share, the Lakers could bring in more than $300 million if they don’t sell a single ticket,” Windhorst reports.
