In just 24 hours, the Lakers signed two contracts, and the Warriors two main players left the team

Within the past 24 hours in the NBA free market, the Lakers have officially signed two contracts, including No. 1 center Andre Ayton, and Laravia, a forward who can shoot and pass. These two signings have greatly improved the Lakers' offense, but their defensive capabilities have not been effectively solved. Since them. After Anthony Davis exchanged for Luca Doncic, the offensive efficiency of the team quickly rose, but the problem at the same time was that defense could be described as a mess. The Warriors are currently getting nothing in the free market except the Lakers. On the contrary, their two main players have also left the team one after another, namely Kevin Rooney and Payton. At present, the Warriors' trading is progressing very slowly. It is reported that they are pursuing players like Horford and Westbrook, but for the moment, the probability of them wanting to get these two players is not very high. At present, Curry, the leading star of the Warriors, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the management, which may urge the management to complete some transactions and strengthen the lineup more quickly. In addition, Russell has now officially joined the Mavericks and defected to Irving to form the league's leading backcourt combination. The combination of the two people together is extremely outstanding in offensive ability, but the key issue is Russell's personal defensive ability, which really makes people feel hard to describe. When the Lakers played with the Warriors and the Nets, his defense was always stabbed by thousands of people, and many people jokingly called him someone else's ATM.

However, considering that Russell joined the Mavericks for only two years with a contract of 13 million US dollars, the average annual salary is only 6.5 million US dollars, so this is a super cost-effective signing. In addition, the Nuggets also strengthened the four strong players in one go. The Rockets have also made huge achievements in the free market this year. I believe that after the start of the new season, the competition in the Western Conference will be even more fierce.
