Team records that the Lakers trade Kessler unrealistic! Mini Middle-class first choice cake king Paul is the basic salary target

On June 10, Lakers reporter Jovan Buha answered the fans' questions on the podcast. He believes that the Lakers' trading Kessler is not realistic because the Jazz asks are extremely expensive. In addition, Buha also mentioned the signing goals of the Lakers' Mini Middle School and Basic Salary. Capela is the first choice for the Mini Middle School. As for the candidates for the basic salary signing, he mentioned 40-year-old veteran Chris Paul.

First of all, Buha said he was optimistic about the Lakers' operations this summer. "The key factor is that Doncic's contract renewal deadline is one month after the free market is opened, and the Lakers need to show a sense of urgency. Last year, the trade of Mark Williams (although failed due to a physical examination) was to show goodwill to Doncic. Doncic was eager to win the championship and was unwilling to be eliminated in the first round. The Lakers need to build a team around him, James and Reeves within the 1-2-year window. The team has assets such as expiration contracts and draft picks. With the pressure, it is expected to have actions. Although it may not be a top team, it will have active operations."

Then, he talked about Kessler's trading possibility. Just today, there was a report that the Jazz were willing to listen to Kessler's offer, and at that time, the Lakers media thought that the team's opportunity had come. In response, Buha said: "In theory, every player can be traded, and there are almost no real non-sale products in the league. But the Jazz asked Kessler very high. Last season, there were reports that the Lakers had inquired about the price and received feedback that the 'starting price is equivalent to two first-round picks'. Even if Kneckett adds a first-round, it may not be enough. Before the Lakers traded Mark Williams, if the offer was given to the Jazz, it would be highly likely to be rejected. The Lakers lacked enough assets, Kessler may be 'a priceless', and his price was too high."

A fan asked, can three-party transactions make Kessler more accessible? Buha's answer is: "It's possible. If the Lakers find the third team to provide assets to the Jazz, the Lakers will provide assets to the team (such as the opponent is optimistic about Hachimura, Vincent or the expiration contract), which may form a framework, but the three-party transactions are more complicated."

Then Buha mentioned the Lakers' mini middle class (5.7 million) and basic salary signing goals.

When talking about the mini middle class, Buha said that his preferred signing goal is center. "Capela, Lopez, Adams. Capela is the best choice. Although his athletic ability declines, he has excellent finishing and rebounding; Lopez has strong space ability but relies on counter-attacks; Adams is a top substitute but may not be suitable for starting."

If the Mini Middle School is used to sign the wing, Buha mentioned the candidate Bruce Brown, who believes that Brown may accept the Mini Middle School. As for the third choice, Buha mentioned the Warriors' Gary Payton II, who is a defensive player and suitable for the Lakers system.

As for the basic salary signing goal, Buha's response was: "It's hard to say now. For example, at this time last year, who would have thought that Gary Trent would sign the basic salary? Some players may have lowered their prices because the team did not use the special case of middle class."

By position, Buha's analysis is as follows -

Center: There are few high-quality centers in the free market, and they may use the mini middle class to sign Capela, Adams, and Lopez, but Lopez and Capela may be at a premium, and Adams is more suitable for substitutes. Sharp from the Nets is good, but he may get the middle class. The choice of centers with limited salary is possible. Kroko can consider it as the third center.

Point Guard: Chris Paul is a potential candidate.

wing: Players like Trent may receive basic salary due to market squeeze, such as the Bruce Brown mentioned above.
