8.8 million yuan for free with 35.5 million giant beasts! The Trail Blazers gave Lakers the assist! Xiao Hua didn t take action?

35.5 million in salary, the Lakers only occupy 8.8 million in space, and you don’t believe it if you say it. For Xiao Yang, the Trail Blazers directly gave the Lakers a big gift, and they could sign an inside monster that averaged two-double per game with just 8.8 million. If Xiao Hua didn't participate this time, no one believed him. It seemed that the Trail Blazers were at a loss. Pelinka's operation was a god. Whoever made a profit would not be known until next season.

Ayton's contract is simply outrageous! On the surface, it looked 16.6 million yuan in two years, and the initiative was still in my hands the second year, but after careful consideration, it was a good guy, he actually got a lot of money! It turns out that the Lakers paid all the salary that the Trail Blazers gave up when they bought out, which means that Ayton will still be free to hold 35.5 million next season, but the Lakers only account for 8.8 million in salary cap! This wave of "salary magic" directly made the capitalist next door, Clippers boss Ballmer, stunned.

Lakers fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief! The trading market has been so lively in the past two days, and Pelinka was directly sprayed out. After Davis left last season, no one was available at the team's No. 5 position, and James's playing center was even more outrageous. Now Ayton is heading to the restricted area and directly weld the No. 5 position! As long as you can eat half of the cakes Doncic feeds, it is not difficult to average 20 plus 10 per game. The most important thing is that you no longer have to watch the "Death Five Little Little". The days when Van Debiao defended Jokic on the front line were overwhelmed!

But James' stay or stay is still a secret case! Although the player option was implemented, they did not promise to stay in the team at all. Pelinka has long said that she would clear her salary space in 2027, but Ayton's contract was very clueless: it just expires in two years, and it will not delay the Lakers from doing big things! Now the pressure is all on the management - if there is no hope of winning the championship next season, it is not ruled out that James will leave the money tree for nothing, could the Lakers let go of this money tree for Doncic?

Ayton actually didn't play badly with the Trail Blazers last season! Averages 14 points and 10 rebounds per game, with defensive efficiency in the middle of the league. Although he was called a "clean center", from another perspective - his career attendance rate is 85%, you can laugh at him, but he is more durable than thick eyebrows! The Lakers sign him is not a loss, and they have no glass attributes! If you buy a healthy double-double machine of 8 million, it will be a huge profit no matter how you calculate it. The two-year contract is also full of calculating for Ayton. If he makes a fortune next year and just jumps to the player option, what about the Lakers who are the first pick in the first year? If he plays badly? Anyway, it only accounts for 8 million space, so it doesn’t hurt if it is cut!
