Lakers rumor: What do Luka Doncic think about signing DeAndre Ayton

Luca Doncic signed DeAndre Aiton with all his might, believing that the center is the perfect candidate for the team.

Luka Doncic is reportedly pleased with DeAndre Aiton's signing in the NBA free agent market.

The Lakers have just made major moves in the NBA free agent market, and Luka Doncic has given it all. After weeks of speculation and failed trade negotiations, the Lakers eventually signed a two-year contract with DeAndre Ayton. This signing gave them a true center with size, athleticism and playoff experience. More importantly, this fills the roster void that Doncic has been urging management to fill.

Doncic wants a big player who can play pick-and-roll and defend the inside. Ayton has these two points. He averaged two-double per game, had excellent finishing ability at the basket, and had enough wingspan to change the defensive shots. His arrival brought a much-needed partner to Doncic's duo.

With Ayton in the inside, Doncic can divert his attention. He will have more room for movement and will not have to take on the offensive responsibility alone. The pair could take the Lakers' offense to a new level, especially if they have shooters around them.

On the defensive end, Ayton has excellent physical confrontation and mobility. He can switch defenses, grab rebounds, and fight at the basket, which are the shortcomings of the Lakers last season. His tacit cooperation with Doncic and their defensive forward players may reshape the team's image on both sides of the offense and defense.

The All-Star guard was reportedly excited not only about Ayton's technology, but also about the potential chemistry between them. Both players are now focused on winning. They all know that such a partnership requires communication, responsibility and trust to succeed.

Dandre Ayton did carry something to prove himself. Past questions about his level of effort and concentration remain. But the Lakers believe that a whole new beginning, and the opportunity to play alongside Doncic, will inspire him to keep improving.

This NBA free agent transfer may determine the fate of the Lakers this season. Luca Doncic finally has the frontcourt pillar he dreams of. If their cooperation goes well, Los Angeles may have created one of the most dynamic internal and external combinations in the league.
