The Lakers get their center, accept the two -year contract with the former number 1 Pick Deandre Ayton

The Lakers got their center, and is the boy who drafted two commercials in front of Luka Doncic in the 2018 NBA Draft.
The Lakers and Deandre Ayton dealt with a two -year contract, with an option of the player in the second year, A story broken by Chris Haynes AND confirmed by more others reports.
This is good that a free agent center signs like the Lakers would do: it is the best free agent center available and a good measure on paper. Make sure that Ayton is up to how good he is on paper was a challenge to all his stops.
Ayton marked on average 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds of a game last season in Portland and a couple of seasons ago Phoenix scored on average 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. On an offense, when he concentrated, he is very good as the type of great man who thrives alongside Luka Doncic as a circle and a threat of the lob (34.4% of his shots last season arrived at the edge and shot 82% on them), also have a sieved mezzange sweater from its points on the floor.
Defensively, it is a great body in the paint, but it is not an excellent blocker (on average a block by game last season).
The challenge with Ayton has always been to stay concentrated and fully engage in basketball.
Ayton had teammates and the basketball staff call him “immature”, someone too safe in his contributions despite the “inconsistent effort” (often, but not always, out of the record). It does not show the commitment to the game often seen with guys who have arrived at the NBA. Some have seen him as a diva, something Jason Quick has recently played in a story at Athletic.
“The delay to flights and team practices, according to a team source. The leap in the rehabilitation events. Fans saw him slamming the chairs when he was brought out of the games. And a team source said there were whims in the changing rooms when he was put aside for poor effort.”
Ayton must bring a higher level of effort to the Lakers building: this is Lebron’s changing room and has built a career of Hall of Fame by entering in his 23rd season based on being prepared and bringing it every night. Doncic counts on him to bring him every night and not be a distraction. Coach JJ Redick is a former younger coach, who can connect with the players, who could help in this case. If that trio can all concentrate Ayton – if a team buys it a little the rattles of his cage – this will be an exceptional signature for the Lakers.
The Lakers are bet that they can get the best from Ayton. They are also doing it with an accessible contract.
Ayton agreed on a two -year contract of $ 16.6 million with Los Angeles. The Lakers can afford it because Ayton will occupy about 8.3 million dollars remaining in the middle level exception of the Lakers (the other part went to Jake Laravia). In this season, the wave cut of wave of $ 35 million per season will not have an impact on Ayton because it is still receiving everything from its buyout from the blazers of the paths (the amount that the Lakers pay will be taken for granted by that number). However, next season can give up and test the market or sign again with the Lakers.
How goes all that depends on how this season goes and on what Ayton approaches its potential on Paper.
