Since the opening of the NBA free market, all teams in the league have gained more or less, except for the Warriors (the only team that has no trades). The Rockets officially announced epic deals with seven parties including the Suns and Hawks, and officially won Kevin Durant and Capela, creating NBA history; the Clippers also announced their re-signations to Harden and Batum, and introduced the key fifth position Lopez; the Nuggets also tried their best to trade with heavy reinforcements such as Cameron Johnson, Hardaway Jr., Bruce Brown and Valan, becoming a favorite for the championship again. I have to say that the Western Conference has frequent reinforcements this offseason, and there is really a good show in the new season.

In addition, although the Los Angeles Lakers have been criticized before, General Manager Robert Pelinka has lived up to expectations and signed three people in a row: signing the inside No. 1 Aiton with a "bad price" of 16.6 million, signing forward scorer Jack Laravia with a two-year contract of 12 million, and re-signing Hayes with a one-year contract to complete the key reinforcement. In just a few days, three accurate signings have reshape the new framework of the Purple and Gold Legion:

✔ Double towers in the interior: 26-year-old No. 1 pick Ayton is at the peak of his career. Last season, he was a top insider who could average 15.7 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He voluntarily gave up the Trail Blazers to buy out 10 million gold to join the Lakers. The Lakers assistant coach even made a bold statement that the No. 1 pick can reshape the former glory;

And the "Spring Man" Jaxon Hayes renewed his contract with a one-year minimum salary. His terrifying hit rate of 72.2% last season (a new career high) and the top ten defensive hit rate suppression effect (a player who interferes with at least 250 layups/dunks), is indeed worth a new contract; and Hayes' new contract includes a trade veto, which is the third player in the league to have trade veto after Bill and James.

✔Sharp shooting: Front striker Laravia was quickly signed by the Lakers with his private connection with the team's core Reeves (the picture of traveling in the same car during the offseason and the joint training was spreading wildly on the Internet). The 23-year-old forward shot up to 42.3% from three-pointers last season, perfectly filling the Lakers' outside firepower.

So far, the Lakers' current 15-man roster has surfaced. The starting five tigers: Doncic + Reeves + Hachimura Shizuo + James + Ayton has both offense and defense, supplemented by Vincent, Laravia, Vanderbilt and other strong players. Rookies Brownie and Kneckett are waiting for opportunities on the bench. Pelinka strengthened the team's talent and depth championship lineup for less than 30 million yuan, and was jokingly called "a representative of spending small money to do big things."

What is most exciting is that according to reliable internal sources of the Suns, Bradley Beal's buyout agreement with the Suns has entered the final 48-hour countdown, and the two sides have reached an agreement on the details of the buyout. In order to restore his free life, the superstar, with an annual salary of 50.2 million, may voluntarily give up his salary of $13 million, while the Sun will pay the remaining contract in five years.

Immediately, Bill, who was about to buy out, instantly caused a snatch of the league's championship teams, and more than a dozen teams including the Warriors, Clippers, Nuggets and Lakers all extended olive branches. However, according to the US media ESPN, some people found that just recently, James and Doncic were paying attention to Bill’s account simultaneously, and there seemed to be hidden hints. Data shows that although Bill's ball rights were shared last season, he still contributed 17 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage remained at a high efficiency level of 38%. What's even more tempting is that he expressed his willingness to accept the substitute role and does not compete for the ball, which is perfectly consistent with the pain points of the Lakers' sixth man's lack of firepower.

It is obvious that the Lakers seem to be standing in front of the Bills' battle. If Pelinka can eventually win this superstar, it will be a huge benefit for the Lakers: not only can we win the value-added combat power through low-priced contracts, but it can also attract more veterans in the subsequent buyout market to join. The most important thing is that James, who has been unstable, can make up his mind to stay, raise chips for the "last dance" before retirement, strive for his fifth championship, and continue to improve his historical status.
