Frustrated~ Doncic actively recruits players for the Lakers this summer and helps introduce Ayton & Smart

According to ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania, several sources revealed that former DPOY winner Marcus Smart and the Wizards reached a buyout agreement, planning to join the Lakers after a clarification period (48 hours). The contract between the two sides is $11 million for two years and the second year is the player option.

According to Shams Charania's follow-up report, several sources revealed that Lakers star Doncic contacted Smart and made it clear that he wanted to fight alongside him

According to Lakers reporter Dan Woike who just transferred from the Los Angeles Times to the New York Times this summer, Doncic recruited Smart and previously recruited Aiton.

Several sources in the league revealed that Doncic has expressed his need for a pie-type center, outside projection support and defensive support. The Lakers responded to this: signing Ayton, Laravia and Smart to fill Doncic's needs.

In addition, several league sources also said that Doncic has been actively recruiting players for the Lakers this summer and helped the team win the franchise promise of the two of them (Aiton, Smart) after Ayton and Smart unexpectedly bought out of contracts to become free agents.

Previously, Ayton signed a $16.6 million deal with the Lakers for two years.
