The Lakers Shocking Operations! The Double No. 1 Choice + Double Tanhua Hao Formation was exposed, James s Strive to the No. 1 in history

On July 3, the NBA free market exploded! Lakers management signed 2018 No. 1 center DeAndre Aiton for two years and $16.6 million, and then threw a $5 million biennium special contract to 39-year-old champion Horford. This series of operations made the entire league look at it - when 39-year-old LeBron James stood before the threshold of his 22nd season of his career, the Purple and Gold Army was creating an unprecedented championship throne for him with a burning momentum.

1. Double Stars: Perfect Grafting of the Championship Gene

As the 27-year-old wild beast in the penalty area, As the No. 2018 pick, Ayton averaged 16.7 points and 11.1 rebounds per game in the Trail Blazers last season, with a shooting percentage of 57.3%. Its pick-and-roll is down and the top 15% of the league's efficiency is, and the pick-and-roll scores 1.23 points per round surpasses 90% of the center. The Lakers signed this double-double inside player with an average annual contract of 8.3 million, which is the king of cost-effectiveness in the free market.

Horford: The 39-year-old Space Magician

In the 2023-24 season, Horford averaged 1.8 three-pointers with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%, and his high-level response ability increased the Celtics' offensive efficiency by 6.7%. If he accepts the Lakers' offer, he will form the most terrifying inside double towers with Davis - he can not only open up space, but also switch unlimited defenses.

2. Comparative analysis: The Lakers' "Tian Ji Horse Racing" strategy

When the Warriors fell into an inside crisis due to Rooney's aging, the Lakers accurately intercepted Hu Huoford. Compared with Adams (31-year-old severe knee injury) and Varanciunas (bottom of the mobile speed league), Ayton's age advantage and athletic ability are perfectly matched with modern basketball. Data shows:

Aiton averaged 3.2 fast break points per game in the past three years, ranked 3rd in the league center, Horford's career three-point shooting percentage was 35.8%, and ranked 2nd in the center position in history. This combination of "one hard and one soft" is similar to the classic reappearance of Howard and Davis in 2020.

3. Legend Continuation: James' "No. 1 Score Collection History"

With Ayton joining, James has fought side by side with 9 No. 1 Scores in his career: From the first "Glass Man" Oden to the two-time collaboration Howard, from Bogut to Irving, the 39-year-old veteran is writing the most unique teammate map of the NBA. What's even more amazing is that

James has a total of 1,148 games, only 27 games away from Jabbar (1,175 games), if he plays 70 games next season, he will become the oldest player in history at the age of 40. As ESPN commented: "He is not collecting teammates, but building a living museum of honor."

Conclusion and interaction: The next chapter of the Purple Gold Dynasty

Lakers management has completed its strategic upgrade with two signings: Ayton ensures the competitiveness of the inside line in the next three years, and Horford provides an instant championship puzzle. When Doncic's organizational talent meets Ayton's all-in threat, and when James' experience collides with Horford's wisdom, this new Lakers already have the ability to challenge the Celtics' dominance.
