Reports of the Los Angeles Lakers clinching a $30,000 weekly deal with Washington Wizards star Jonas Valanciunas are unfounded. While Valanciunas is indeed a talented center, there is no credible evidence to support the claim of such a deal being confirmed.
Valanciunas, a 6’11” center from Lithuania, has been a consistent performer in the NBA, averaging 14.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game throughout his career. However, there is no indication that he has agreed to a deal with the Lakers.
The Lakers’ front office has been busy this offseason, making several moves to bolster their roster. However, none of these moves have involved signing Valanciunas to a $30,000 weekly deal.
It’s worth noting that NBA contracts are typically structured as annual deals, with players earning a guaranteed salary over the course of the season. Weekly deals are not a common practice in the NBA, making the reported agreement between the Lakers and Valanciunas highly unlikely.
Until further confirmation is provided, fans and pundits alike should treat the reports of Valanciunas’ deal with the Lakers with skepticism. The Lakers’ official website and social media channels will likely provide updates on any new signings or roster moves in due course.
