Missed the best opportunity! Now the Lakers, the All-Star Center can t make a comeback
3:08pm, 3 July 2025【Basketball】
Fans have been discussing why the Lakers are not strengthening. With fewer centers in the free market, the chances of belonging to the Lakers are becoming increasingly slim. But today I want to pour cold water on everyone. Can the problem of the Lakers really be solved by just a center? The Lakers' concept has been stuck in last season, completely ignoring the reality that others are strengthening at the same time.
The competition in the Western Conference will be fierce next season. I believe everyone is very clear. In addition to the defending champion Thunder, there are also upgraded versions of the Rockets and the Thunder that have completed precise reinforcement. This is a team with the strength to compete for the championship. Don’t forget that there are the Timberwolves, Spurs, Mavericks, Warriors and Clippers. If these teams are single, how likely will the Lakers win?
Does the Lakers have a chance? The answer is yes, but they have missed it. When the Lakers gave up on Magnificent, it has proved that their opportunity has slipped away. The last game must have been the best opportunity for the Lakers. Why do you say that? First of all, we have to talk about why the Lakers gave up Magnificent, of course they were reluctant to let go of their first round picks. In fact, the most important reason is that after Doncic joined the Lakers, the team played a good combat power, which is the confidence of the management to give up Magnificent.
However, the management completely ignored the gap between the playoffs and the regular season. The weakness of the inside strength was completely targeted by the Timberwolves in the playoffs. On the other hand, if they could really beat the Timberwolves, would they have the best chance? Facing the Warriors, their inside strength is also not strong, and the Lakers have a chance to go further. Not to mention how many players the Nuggets injured in the playoffs, the Thunder did not perform as they imagined, all of which was shattered because of the weaknesses in the inside.
Back to now, the Lakers' goal is very clear, which is to strengthen their inside line, but the management of Xiaoxiaosou was clever about the renewal of electric fans. Unexpectedly, the Rockets intercepted them, which greatly reduced the strength of the Lakers. The most terrifying thing is that there are big problems within the Lakers now. James did not renew the contract with the Lakers again, but chose to execute the player option. James expressed his meaning very clearly. He was not satisfied with the strengthening of the management, so it would be more realistic to get the money.
James is getting older and older, and the Lakers' strength has not been upgraded but has deteriorated. What about other teams? In order to leave Antetokounmpo, the Bucks dared to make a living, and to see how the Nuggets management operated people, the Bucks completed a comprehensive upgrade on the basis of just the cost of Porter Jr., also to keep Jokic. After the season ended, did Jokic not make a fuss? There were also rumors of leaving the team, but in just a few days, the management completed precise reinforcement, and Antetokounmpo was the same. He also wanted to leave the team. The management did not consider the future, but simply wanted to win in the present. And what about the Lakers? The operation of not only wanting to keep James but not strengthen me has made me think of one sentence, that is, I want to think about whatever I want!
The Lakers' problems are far from being solved by a starting center. If we stayed last season, the Lakers would probably go further after strengthening the inside line, but if we look at the current situation, even if we give them an All-Star center, they may not be able to play in the first round, and it will be difficult to enter the playoffs.
It's just a pity that James' last chance in his career, but unfortunately Doncic wasted another year. Extremely disappointed!
