I believe that the Lakers in the new season will not disappoint you

The Lakers' offseason signings are likely to end. Compared to the three important signings last season, Ayton + Smart + Laravia, many people question what the Lakers will play next season? Can we win the championship under the storm of the West? Have you ever done it? The Rockets who have played well and strengthened, are the Clippers? No matter how they complain, Pelinka's operations this offseason are still remarkable. It only cost 19.2 million to sign these three players. It is difficult for you to see in the free market that there will be players with higher cost performance than these three players.

Let's talk about Smart first. He must have to prove himself, not only his defensive form, but also his attendance. After leaving the Celtics, he only played 54 games in two seasons. Ankles and fingers are the main injuries, and shoulders are routine injuries, and knees are also occasionally injured. Many people think that Smart is at the end of his career, but in fact he is only 31 years old and is definitely a year of playing in the NBA.

Smart is one of the players the Lakers need because their existing lineup has really weak outside defense, and both Doncic and Reeves are colandered outside. In addition, Smart's three-pointers are also very important. Although he is not a stable pitcher, fans who have watched his game know that Smart has a characteristic, which is that he is very brave to shoot, and he averages 5.9 three-pointers per game. So, you dare not let go of such a person. To put it simply, it is a bit of a nerve knife. It is really unreasonable to be accurate.

Smart was recruited by Doncic. Because Dong wanted it, the Lakers began to lay off players and make room for them, and finally gave up Goodwin, and Smart arrived. 11 million in two years. If Smart can play the due performance within about 20 minutes of playing, the Lakers will definitely make a profit.

and Ayton are also related to Doncic. The two have the same agent. After Ayton arrived, he said, "Doncic sent me a message, but James has not contacted me yet."

Many people criticized Ayton for his poor defense, but did he forget that he was the No. 1 pick? He is 2.13 meters tall and weighs 113 kilograms. How bad can this static talent be? And don’t forget Ayton’s pick-and-roll threat. In the past, they made it to the Western Conference Finals and reached the finals, but they did not throw it one by Booker. Ayton and Paul’s pick-and-roll are also the Suns’ most reliable offensive means. In those two seasons, the pick-and-roll scores were both top three in the league.

So, it can be foreseen that as long as Redick is not too conceited, Doncic + Ayton's pick-and-roll will definitely become the Lakers' conventional weapon next season.

Besides, 16 million in 2 years, can you still sign a better center than Ayton? Is this much better than the original motivation for canceling the transaction?

Of course, Ayton also has his own weaknesses. He needs to play happily. Only when he is happy can he play better. Once he is unhappy, the entire team may be very upset. He has a big boy personality, but looking at Doncic's past, no center should be unhappy with him, right?

The Lakers have many people with only one year contract next season. Reeves rejected the contract renewal offered by the Lakers. James only has one year left for the player option, and Laravia, Smart and Ayton have player options for the second year. These people probably except for James, they all want to compete for a long-term large contract next year, so they will have two sides. On the good side, everyone wants to play good games and data, and everyone will work hard toward basketball. Similarly, once someone has some small things, the team may also face the possibility of falling apart.

Finally, let’s talk about Doncic, the key core of the Lakers. Anyone with discerning eyes knows that the Lakers are now Doncic. Doncic now has a strong voice in the Lakers. It can be said that within the scope of permission, the management will respond to him. Everything is for him to renew his contract this year. Judging from some of the operations Doncic has intervened, it should be a matter of time before the contract renewal is completed. As long as the contract is finalized in August this year, Pelinka's work will be completed.

Doncic is the key to whether the Lakers can succeed. He lost weight during the offseason and also showed some attitude. As for whether we can win the championship, it's hard to say, but everyone seems to be used to the Lakers not winning the championship. The core of making money, traffic and attention in today’s NBA is not what you win, but what your players, media and fans believe in what you can win.

From this point of view, the Lakers have won! Similarly, the Lakers will not disappoint you next season, as well as James' stay or leave, whether to retire, etc., there will be another wave of traffic at that time, which will definitely attract your attention.
