Die-Hard Lakers Fan, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Son Stunned by Team’s $5.7 Million Deal With a Free Agent: “This Is Huge”

Bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger’s eldest son, Patrick, has persistently acted upon his interest in the basketball sphere. From hailing his favorite NBA icon, LeBron James, publicly to getting kicked out of a Lakers game due to his overenthusiasm, Patrick has done it all. Similarly, in the most recent update of his NBA antics, Patrick expressed his support for a recent trade with a free agent. 

The actor took to his Twitter and chipped in a brief remark on the news of Mavericks player Christian Wood getting traded to the Lakers for a $5.7 million deal. Enthralled, Patrick could not contain the excitement for his favorite NBA team, the Lakers.

The 29-year-old actor reposted a Twitter update by Bleacher Report that shared the news of Woods signing a two-year deal with the Lakers. The news was provided by the ESPN Senior NBA Insider, Adrian Wojnarowski. Furthermore, the deal also included a player option. 

As per sources, the first-year salary is estimated to be $2.7 million, while the final-year player option is worth $3 million. While fans remain divided over the notable trade and the Lakers’ future, Patrick seemed overwhelmed.

“This is huge!” Arnold Schwarzenegger’s son wrote in the caption of his Twitter post shared early today. However, months ago, another report by the source irked the actor, deriving a critical insight from him. It was about the 2020 NBA draft class and their playoff win history. 

Patrick Schwarzenegger demands an explanation

Early in July, a news update highlighted the grand ongoing trades in the NBA community. The list was topped by Timberwolves shooting guard Anthony Edwards with a $260 million deal. Likewise, LaMelo and Tyrese bagged deals worth $260 million. The lowest contract on that list, $207 million, was signed by Grizzlies star Desmond Bane. 

While the lucrative deals managed to intrigue the basketball world, Patrick was not convinced. Instead, he questioned the total number of playoff wins by all the listed players. “How many playoff wins combined?” Patrick noted in the caption.
