Big news! The Lakers want to sign Lillard with a two-year contract, and the last puzzle of East Zhan’s championship is in place

Basketball

Looking back at last season, the Los Angeles Lakers completed a highly anticipated and heavy-handed deal. They reluctantly gave Christie, Anthony Davis and a future first-round check-out to the Dallas Mavericks just to welcome Luca Doncic, known as the "European Magician", and inject new vitality into the team.

Doncic's joining was like a strong light, instantly increasing the strength limit of the Purple and Gold Legion, making the Lakers' future full of infinite imagination. However, General Manager Pelinka has serious omissions in lineup construction. There was no tall player in the interior position who could take on a big role, which made the Lakers have to compete in the playoffs with an extremely inconsistent lineup. In the playoffs, the Lakers encountered the Minnesota Timberwolves, the sixth-ranked Westfield. The Timberwolves were like a ferocious beast, launching a storm-like attack on the Lakers. Randall, Gobert, Reed and other players in the team performed well and produced historical data. The Lakers were defeated in this match and became a laughing stock in the entire NBA league. The scene of their defeat is very sad. The bitter taste of losing the Lakers deeply hurts the whole Lakers. From the moment he was eliminated, Pelinka made up his mind to carefully build a new team with strong combat effectiveness around LeBron James and Doncic.

In the draft, the Lakers actively operated and continuously improved their draft picks, eventually climbed to the No. 36 pick at the beginning of the second round, and selected the young wing forward player Thiero with unique vision, injecting fresh blood into the team. After the free market opened, the Lakers acted quickly. They contacted Lalavic immediately, flexibly split the middle class contract, and successfully recruited the young player. Meanwhile, the Lakers are closely watching DeAndre Aiton, who was bought out by the Trail Blazers, and use the remaining middle-class contracts to reach a franchise agreement with the 2018 No. 1 pick.

However, Pelinka's signing plan did not stop there. According to famous NBA reporter Keith Smith, sources revealed that Damian Lillard has passed the clarification period and became a full free agent for the first time. The Los Angeles Lakers have offered an olive branch to the Western Conference All-Star guard and are willing to offer a two-year contract. If Lillard can join, he will work with James and Doncic to add more possibilities to the Lakers' future.

This offseason, the Milwaukee Bucks bought out Lillard's contract using extended terms, and Lillard's Bucks' career ended. Although the passage of time has made him no longer the omnipotent scoring machine, he still has superb projection skills and excellent organizational skills. His arrival will effectively reduce the offensive pressure on James and Doncic.

If Lillard can return from injury and put on the purple and gold armor, he will surely inject strong combat power into the Lakers and allow the Lakers to show a new look in the new season's field.
