Successfully picked up the bargain! The beasts in the penalty area were airborne in Los Angeles City, Redick and Doncic recruited them personally

At 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday, the east and west coasts of the United States have entered the quiet time of the second half of the night. The crazy competition on the first day of the 2025 NBA free agent market has basically come to an end.

In the Western Conference, a fierce arms race is intensifying, among which the Rockets, Nuggets and Clippers teams are full of gains. However, the lively scenes and joyful atmosphere around this week have little to do with the Los Angeles Lakers.

This is undoubtedly incredible; you should know that last season, although the Purple and Gold Army advanced to the playoffs with the third place in the West; but when they encountered the Minnesota Timberwolves, they were beaten to the point of being abandoned by the opponent and had no power to resist.

Among them, weak inside strength is the most fatal problem; in fact, because Hayes, Ryan, and Kroko are useless, Redick has no way to limit the data on Reed, Gobert and Randall to achieve milestones. In the end, after a series of struggles, the Purple and Gold Legion fell down and ended in the first round of the playoffs.

There is no doubt that if a new boss is replaced, a new atmosphere must be needed; therefore, the Lakers will definitely strengthen, especially upgrade and transform the inside.

Unexpectedly, in the draft, the Lakers continued to improve their draft pick, but chose a wing forward Tiero; and after the free market gate opened, they contacted Lalavic immediately and received the promise of the other party to join. However, there is still no starting center on the Lakers' roster, which makes many fans anxious.

I searched for him in the crowd for a long time, but when I looked back, the man was in the dim light. After a long wait, the Lakers finally started working on the inside. According to Shams, a famous NBA reporter, after signing Laravia, the Los Angeles Lakers are infinitely close to Ayton, the No. 2018 pick. It is worth mentioning that head coaches Redick and Doncic both recruit Ayton personally.

Ayton's strong frame protection ability on the defensive end can build an indestructible inside barrier, greatly enhance the team's rebound protection ability and reduce the opponent's second offensive opportunities. On the offensive end, Ayton's diverse offensive methods, whether it is low-level singles or mid-range shooting, can open up the situation for the team in the interior and provide strong scoring assistance.

In this way, Ayton's joining will undoubtedly be like a timely rain, accurately filling the shortcomings in the Lakers' inside line. After his arrival, the Lakers' performance on both offense and defense will be significantly improved, and the team's overall competitiveness will be greatly enhanced.
