"Where will Ayton go?" - The answer to this question seems to have surfaced!

For Lakers fans, the mood has been quite bad in the past two days, because the centers that the Lakers want have been intercepted one after another. Since the opening of the free market, the Lakers have only signed a 23-year-old LaRavia.

Seeing that there are only a few centers in the free market, many Lakers fans are pinning their hopes on Pelinka to get Ayton as soon as possible.

Just today, according to the latest report by NBA reporter Marc Stein, many league executives unanimously believe that free agent Deandre Ayton "will definitely join the Lakers." This news instantly detonated the NBA free market and also made Lakers fans fall into carnival.

Previously, the Lakers' biggest competitor was the Milwaukee Bucks, but the Bucks had withdrawn from the battle for Ayton after trading for Myles Turner. However, the Indiana Pacers quickly joined the battle after losing Turner, and with a full mid-level exception ($14.1 million), they became the only threat to the Lakers signing Ayton.

As for the Lakers, although their full mid-level exception has been used up (signing LaRavia for 2 years and $12 million), they can still offer an offer of $8 million to $9 million.

Although the Pacers can offer a higher annual salary, the Lakers' championship prospects, the Los Angeles market, and their relationship with Doncic's agent (the two belong to Excel Sports Management) give them an absolute advantage.

So why are the executives unanimously optimistic about the Lakers? Agent bond: Ayton and Lakers core Luka Doncic belong to the same agency, and this relationship is crucial in negotiations. The rest is tactical adaptability and market exposure.

If Ayton is successfully signed, the Lakers' inside line will usher in a qualitative leap. Last season, the Lakers' rebounding rate ranked 21st in the league, and their success rate in protecting the rim was only 63.8%. In the playoffs, they were completely blown up by the Timberwolves' inside line. Ayton's joining can not only relieve the pressure on the Lakers' inside line, but also make the Lakers truly have the top inside line strength in the West.

"Can the Lakers management get what they want this time?" - The answer will be revealed as soon as possible in the next 48 hours!
