The Lakers buzzer-beating signing countdown! 3D shot Brogdon may airborne Los Angeles

The 2025 NBA offseason has reached the second half, and most of the salary space of each team has been fully utilized, and the available funds are almost exhausted. Those highly anticipated top free agents have finalized new contracts and successfully opened a new chapter in their careers. At the same time, the rookies also took their place and officially integrated into their new teams. The once noisy trading rumors gradually calmed down in the process.

Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers, which have always been loved and highly concerned by fans, made a major deal. They reluctantly sent Christie and Anthony Davis away, and also took a future first-round pick to successfully win Luca Doncic, who is known as the "European Magician" from the Dallas Mavericks.

This deal is of great significance to the Lakers. The Purple and Gold Army finally found a leader who can carry the team's banner as he wished in the "post-James era". This is the case. After being eliminated from the playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lakers general manager Pelinka and head coach Redick acted quickly. They held a meeting with Doncic and his team at the first time to humbly ask Doncic about his opinions and suggestions on the offseason signing work.

It is worth noting that LeBron James did not attend the meeting. This detail sends a clear signal: the Lakers will next build a team with strong competitiveness around Doncic. James, who once had a core position in the Lakers, is no longer the "non-sale product" in the eyes of the team.

In the meeting, Doncic clearly put forward his demand for the team's recruitment. He hopes that the Lakers can introduce a big player with outstanding athletic ability to provide strong support and impact to the inside; a wing forward with excellent shooting ability to enhance the team's outside firepower; and an outside gate with excellent defensive ability to improve the team's defensive strength on the outside. After Pelinka learned about these needs in detail, she immediately carried out the recruitment work vigorously.

Soon, we saw a series of signing results of the Lakers. The Los Angeles Lakers have successfully recruited Ayton, Laravic and Smart, injecting new vitality and strength into the team. At the same time, the team's management did not hesitate to invest money to improve the draft pick, and finally selected the talented Thiero with the No. 36 draw. With the arrival of these new players, the overall competitiveness of the Los Angeles Lakers has made a qualitative leap, and they are undoubtedly more worthy of fans' expectations in the new season.

The Lakers currently have 14 players in their lineup with regular NBA contracts, and in theory, they can sign another player. According to the Lakers' team reporter Dan Voiko, sources revealed that the Lakers are looking for a veteran in the free agent market, and Pelinka locks in Brogdon.

Brogg played for the Wizards last season, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. He is currently a free agent. It is rumored that the Kings, the Pelicans, the Timberwolves and the Warriors are all interested in him.
