The first signing to join the team was Jake LaRavia, who arrived from the Sacramento Kings, on a 2-year agreement for $12 million.

The second confirmed signing was Deandre Ayton, who arrived from the Portland Trail Blazers, with a contract that provides sees him pocket 34 million dollars.

Additionally, the Lakers brought back Jaxson Hayes, the center became a free agent at the end of last season and secured a one-year contract for three million dollars.

They finally added Adou Thiero, who was drafted in the last NBA Draft, who was originally selected with the 36th pick by the Brooklyn Nets, but after a series of changes they reached an agreement for the player.
