Today's NBA is quite lively. The Los Angeles Lakers finally took action. They kept aiming at Ayton and finally completed the signing today.

Aiton reportedly accepted a 2-year $16.6 million contract from the Lakers, with the second year being the player option. Ayton's goal is to strive to make a fortune with the Lakers, and then jump out of the contract next summer to get a bigger offer.

In this way, the Lakers actually basically completed the task. They let Finney Smith go, signed Ayton and Laravia with the free middle-class contract exception, and added two positions at once. But in fact, the Lakers have not stopped their pace of strengthening, and they immediately offered Horford a two-year special case of $5 million.

Horford is a veritable veteran. He was the 2007 NBA draft pick. He is the same group of players as Durant and is very old now. Horford has now ended his contract with the Boston Celtics and has become a free agent and is considering whether to retire.

The Lakers still hope to have some experienced players in the interior to support it, so they gave a two-year special case of $5 million, which is actually the veteran's basic salary contract to see if Horford is willing to accept it.

In addition, the Lakers also hope to sign Lillard. Lillard was just cut by the Milwaukee Bucks and went home to recuperate with $113 million. He is expected to take a year of rest and cannot play during this period. At present, many teams hope to sign Lillard, just to bet on Lillard's ability to still have the strength of an ordinary All-Star player after returning from injury.

Golden State Warriors have already taken a fancy to Lillard, and the Lakers are also in touch with Lillard, not knowing who can sign this defender.
