Starting salary is 8.1 million! It is revealed that Ayton finally chose to join the Lakers and joined forces with Luca and James to compete for the championship

Looking forward, the Lakers' center that they are longing for may be coming, and fans in Los Angeles may be happy about it for a long time.

Isn't this? According to a joint report by two well-known journalists Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, several league sources revealed that several teams have snatched center Ayton and are expected to choose to join the Lakers, but they have to wait until after the clarification period is over.

According to previous reports, No. 1 center Ayton was bought out by the Trail Blazers and is about to become a free agent.

Regarding his possible joining the Lakers, it is actually not just these two reporters who reported that another reporter Jake Weinbach also brought news; Ayton will choose one of the two teams, the Lakers and the Pacers, and a decision will be made soon.

As the No. 1 pick in 2018, Ayton has made many seasons, playing 40 games for the Trail Blazers last season, averaging 14.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1 blocked block per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 56.6% and a three-point shooting percentage of 18.8%.

Throughout his entire career, he averaged 16.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1 block per game in the regular season, with a shooting percentage of up to 59% and a three-point shooting percentage of 23%. In the playoffs, he averaged 15.9 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 62.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of 50%.

In this way, this No. 1 pick has a balanced offense and defense, and has a very stable performance in the playoffs. She is an absolute big-hearted player. Perhaps with his current strength, he cannot become the star of a team like Jokic, but it is more than enough to become a No. 3 or No. 4 person.

Apart from our fans' expectations, the clarification period has ended. According to the report of famous reporter Shams, several sources revealed that Ayton, the No. 1 pick who became a free agent, agreed to join the Lakers and join forces with Luca and James to strive for the championship in the new season.

According to previous reports, Ayton and the Trail Blazers reached a buyout agreement, with their salary of $35.55 million next season, and Ayton gave up one million dollars in this buyout.

As fans, we must be very curious about this. How big a contract will he sign with the Lakers?

reporter Fischer added that the new contract reached by Ayton and the Lakers is two years, with a starting salary of $8.1 million.

It is actually understandable that we choose such a contract; for Ayton, it is impossible to join a bottom team. All he has to do is complete self-salvation and find a team with the ability to compete for the championship to re-prove his strength so that he has the opportunity to get a big contract in the future. After all, Ayton is only 26 years old and is in his battle year, far from the age of retirement.
