According to Shams' previous reports, Ayton has agreed to join the Lakers. It is reported that Ayton's contract is $16.6 million for two years and the starting salary is $8.1 million.

Today's salary expert Bobby Marks talked about this in the show "SportsCenter", Marks said: "Considering the Lakers' lineup situation about 10 hours ago, I do think this is an improvement. Ayton is undoubtedly the best choice among the remaining centers in the free market, especially when the buyout agreement has just been completed. Data shows that 82% of his shots last season were in the efficient zone at the basket, which is ideal. But what I personally worry about is his ability to protect the basket, and he averaged less than one block in Portland last year. But it did fill the urgent needs of the Lakers, but the Lakers' bench still needs to be strengthened, and they urgently need outside shooters. Although the offseason starts a little slow, this signing is a good start."
