The Lakers three new signings were officially announced, Ayton wears No. 5, Laravia and Thiero come to invest

On July 7, the Lakers officially announced three new signs - former No. 1 center DeAndre Ayton, wing shooter Jack Laravia, and rookie Adu Tiero, officially joining the Purple and Gold Army. Lake fans have been waiting for this wave of operation for a long time, especially last year, when the lineup was called "paper tiger", and finally I finished some book this year.

Eaton passes No. 5, and the inside is confident. First, Aiton, the top pick in 2018, the big center with 2.13 meters, was previously in the Suns, and the Trail Blazers passes No. 2. This time, the Lakers went directly to No. 5. In fact, the No. 2 jersey is now from Vanderbilt. I just bought it out and joined the franchise. There is really no need to compete for the number. Changing a new number also has a bit of a "start again".

Ayton has always been said by fans that he did not play the dominance that the No. 1 pick should have, but the advantage is that his lower limit is very stable, averaged 16.4 points and 10.5 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage is also high. The Lakers have always relied on Davis to carry the inside alone, and Ayton comes and just shares the pressure. In addition, he voluntarily gave up his salary of 10 million, which shows that he really wanted to compete for the championship. Even if he is not a superstar, he is at least much more reliable than Hayes.

La Lavia No. 12, the Lakers' "3D" inheritance continues

Let's talk about La Lavia, the 2022 No. 19 show, 2 meters 01 and 99 kilograms, can play multiple positions. He performed well with the Kings last season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 42.3%, and a defensive end of 0.9 steals. The Lakers have relied on "3D players" to support the wing in recent years, and Laravia just happened to make up for the pit left by Finney Smith's departure. He wore the No. 12 jersey in the new season, which is a bit traditional in the history of the Lakers, and Torian Prince and Christie have both worn it. As long as he can play his three-pointers and defense level steadily, he will definitely have a place to rotate.

Tiero pimped No. 1, the rookie focuses on defense, the third new face, Adou Tiero, the second round No. 6 pick in 2025, 21 years old, 2.03 meters and 100 kg, averaged 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game in the NCAA last season, with a shooting percentage of 54.5%. The three-pointer has obvious weaknesses, but the defensive potential has made the Lakers management optimistic. Now he is wearing the No. 1 jersey, but because of an injury to his left knee, he will not play in the summer league. The template was described by fans as a short and strong version of Vanderbilt, focusing on defense and vitality, and belongs to the kind of desperate Saburo who can make up for loopholes.

The reinforcement idea is clear and the salary structure is flexible. These three signings are very practical: Ayton has 16.6 million in 2 years, and the player options are the second year; Laravia has 12 million in 2 years, and the contract is short and the salary is not high, leaving a lot of room for operation for the team. Ayton shared the burden in the interior, Laravia space on the wings, and Thiero's defense. The Lakers have completed both offense and defense.

Currently, the Lakers' 16-man roster is basically finalized, and Doncic and James are still the core. Next, it depends on whether the new combination can produce chemical reactions and whether the championship can continue. What do fans think about
