On June 30, there were too many player contracts in the league today or player option contracts. Here we will briefly talk about a few: James executed a contract of 52.6 million for the last year, Harden completed a contract renewal of 81.5 million for two years, both of them will stay in the team, Randall renewed the contract with the Timberwolves for 3 years, 100 million for 3 years, which really made a profit for the Timberwolves. In addition, Jabary Smith renewed the Rockets for 5 years, 120 million for 5 years, and Portis renewed the contract with the Bucks for 3 years, 44 million for 3 years.

In addition, there are many players who are rejected for execution options. The Cavaliers rejected the team option for Okiki's 2.55 million, the Timberwolves refused the qualification offer for Garza, and the Rockets rejected the team option for Holiday Jr., but he is likely to return to the Rockets. Eric Gordon also rejected the player option contract for the last year. It is estimated that he will return to the 76ers. The Nets actually refused to give Sharp a qualification offer. This is a good insider, and he is only 23 years old.

Many Lakers fans also called on the Lakers to win Sharp, but now the Lakers seem to have a better choice. According to famous reporter Shams, Ayton and the Trail Blazers reached a buyout agreement, and Ayton will become a complete free agent after spending 48 hours. Shams said: This is a sudden addition to the free market, which gave Ayton, the player who helped the Suns to the NBA Finals, a new opportunity as the Blazers witnessed the lineup of young centers (Yang Hansen, Klingen).

It is worth mentioning that when Yang Hansen was selected, Ayton called Hansen to: Let us rule the inside line together, but he didn't expect to be bought out. The Trail Blazers also expressed their determination this time. Previously, Cronin said in an interview that they would do their best to train Yang Hansen. The team's five centers are estimated to be the next step for Rowe. This time, the Trail Blazers have invested a lot of money. You should know that Ayton's annual salary will be 35 million next season.

This is definitely an opportunity for Yang Hansen. Next season, he and Klingen will likely compete for the starting position. Even if they fail to become the starter in the end, it is also a core rotation of the substitute. This is definitely a good opportunity for Hansen. If you go to other teams, it is probably not treated like this. The team will definitely formulate corresponding tactics for him. I hope everything goes well in Hansen and meet expectations. He and the Trail Blazers have given us too many surprises.

After Ayton was bought out, everyone is concerned about which team he went to. There are many teams that need centers now. After all, the big center has returned to dominance. As the No. 1 pick in 2018, although Ayton has not reached the height of his template Admiral Robinson, he is not a parallel product. He has averaged 16.4 points, 10.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1 block. His shooting percentage is as high as 59%.

His mid-range shooting is excellent, and his three-pointers have also improved in recent years. What's more important is that he is good at eating cakes. This is what Doncic wants. Ayton is also 26 years old. He can grow up with Doncic. Ayton's shooting speed is extremely fast. Many times he takes action, and the opponent's center has not reacted. In terms of talent hardware conditions, he can be comparable to a historical center. Of course, Ayton also has shortcomings, which will also make many championship teams not want to treat him as the starting center.

Aiton's biggest problem is that he is not tough enough. He is often targeted by his opponents because he is too soft in the playoffs. However, Aiton was too young at that time. After two years at the Trail Blazers, I think he may become more mature. After all, he is about to reach the peak age. Aiton still maintains a playoff record. He is the only player in history who averages 15+ per game and has a shooting percentage of more than 60%. The reason why he is so efficient is that on the one hand, it is mainly about eating cakes, and on the second aspect, it is that what we just said is that the shooting speed is too fast.

After Ayton enters the free market, it is estimated that the Warriors and the Lakers will chase him wildly, and Ayton and Doncic belong to the same agency company, which may give the Lakers a better chance to win Ayton. The Mavericks' self-media also said: agents can represent Doncic and Ayton, so it may be a feasible choice to join the Lakers at a low price in the contract year. This is not pure blind thought without basis. You can think about it. Ayton has not received enough opportunities to prove himself in the past few years.

If the Lakers are willing to promise him the starting center position, then Ayton is not ruled out to join. Ayton will probably sign a 1+1 contract, such as a middle-class person. If he plays well, he can jump out of the contract and complete the re-signing with the team, win the big contract, and go to the Warriors, to be honest, it is very risky. After all, Cole likes five small and centers with shooting ability. In comparison, Ayton's playing style is very consistent with James and Reeves.

Doncic is also facing a contract renewal. If the Lakers can win Ayton, he may complete the early renewal. Now there are more and more centers in the free market, and the Lakers have more choices. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Trail Blazers and Ayton? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
