Official announcement: He will join the Lakers for 500,000 yuan in the United States, and he will wear a No. 30 jersey

Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers, which are loved and watched by fans, sent away Christie, Anthony Davis and a future first-round pick, and won the "European Magician" Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks.

Since then, the Purple and Gold Army finally found the leader of the "post-James era" as they wish; there was nothing wrong with that. After being eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves, general manager Pelinka and head coach Redick immediately held a meeting with Doncic and his team to ask for the offseason's signing opinions and suggestions.

It is worth noting that James did not attend the meeting; this also means that the Lakers will build a competitive team around Doncic. As for James, he is no longer a "non-sale product".

Doncic put forward his needs, and he longs for the Lakers to introduce a big man with excellent athletic ability, a wing forward with a shooting ability, and an excellent outside defense gate. After Pelinka learned about the specific situation, she immediately started the relevant work of signings.

So, we can see that the Los Angeles Lakers have successively recruited Ayton, Laravic and Smart; at the same time, they used the US dollar to increase the draft pick and chose the talented Thiero with the No. 36 pick. With the arrival of these people, the Los Angeles Lakers' competitiveness has made a qualitative leap.

However, Pelinka's operation did not stop. The Lakers officially announced that they have officially signed a two-way contract with defender Mannon, and he will wear the No. 30 jersey next season.

He is 23 years old and graduated from Vanderbilt University and mainly plays on the wing defense on the court. He has a height of 1.95 meters. He initially spent three years at Cornell University, and then transferred to Vanderbilt University to continue his studies. He was quite regretfully unable to be selected at this year's draft.

However, he was given a valuable opportunity to represent the Warriors in the summer league. In the summer league, he averaged 17.1 minutes of playing time per game and had a very outstanding performance, averaging 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 blocks per game. Its shooting percentage reached 44.2% and its three-point shooting percentage was 28.6%.

In fact, Mannon is a player with a high level of defense. He not only has outstanding football players, but also has excellent athletic ability. The Lakers have decided to sign him on a two-way contract, and he has been included in the team's development plan.
