After making Jake LaRavia their top priority in free agency -- there was actually a small bidding war for the young backup forward among several teams, sources told ESPN -- the Lakers were holding about $8 million with the remains of their midlevel exception and watching center options such as Brook Lopez and Clint Capela come off the board. Teams who had centers available were keeping their price for the Lakers high when they called, sources said, after they had established what they were willing to pay for Mark Williams (in February's rescinded trade). In case you forgot, that price was: a young player (2024 first-rounder Dalton Knecht) L.A.'s unprotected first-round pick in 2031 L.A.'s unprotected pick swap in 2030 That was a sign of the desperation the Lakers felt to get a center to pair with Luka Doncic. And, five months later, the Lakers still found themselves without one. That was the case until the Lakers agreed to sign Deandre Ayton on Wednesday, once he cleared waivers following his mildly surprising buyout from the Portland Trail Blazers. 在自由球员市场上将Jake LaRavia视为头号目标後，消息人士告诉ESPN，事实上有数支 球队为这位年轻的替补前锋展开了一场争夺战。湖人队手中还握有约800万美元的中产特 例，眼睁睁看着如Brook Lopez和Clint Capela等中锋陆续被其他队签下。 消息人士透露，当湖人打电话询问拥有中锋资源的球队都对他们开出较高的报价，因为 这些球队知道湖人曾在（今年二月被取消的交易中）愿意为Mark Williams付出什麽样的 筹码。 若你忘了，那笔报价是： 一名年轻球员（2024首轮新人Dalton Knecht） 湖人2031无保护首轮 湖人2030无保护互换 这充分显示了湖人队多麽渴望为Luka Doncic搭配一位中锋。然後五个月过去，湖人依然未 能补强中锋。这局面直到周三才被打破，在拓荒者出人意料地买断Deandre Ayton後，湖人 终於在度过澄清期後与之达成签约协议。 来源:https://reurl.cc/A31jZE 佩总底牌都被看光了 --
