Wen Pang: Doncic recruits Smart, which shows that Doncic has reached a united front with the Lakers

ESPN famous reporter Shams Charania reported that Marcus Smart reached a buyout agreement with the Washington Wizards, planning to sign a two-year, $11 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers after passing a clarification period.

Today, Windhorst talked about the signing on the show. Windhorst said: "This is a very critical signing. Now he is 31 years old, joining the Lakers at a price lower than his normal salary, and he is full of motivation."

"But the most interesting thing for me is the way Doncic participates in this recruitment. He is obviously on the same front with the Lakers management. When Doncic was overseas, he called Smart more. This is not a casual talk, but he took the initiative to take action against the background of clearly knowing that the Lakers management is also communicating with this signing. People told him: 'We have a chance to get Smart, but there are competitors. Can you contact him? 'Doncic really took action. 'If you are a Lakers fan, this is very important. Doncic works side by side with the management and reaches an agreement, which shows that he is investing time and participating in decision-making, and has a very positive attitude. Why is this important? Let me say again: Doncic's contract renewal option will be launched as early as August 2. All the actions of the Lakers on the issue of substitute lineup, lineup strengthening, and even James' contract and player options are ranked after locking in Doncic's long-term contract renewal."
