The Lakers center forward reinforcement prediction in the offseason, who among these 5 will be the Lakers strongest puzzle

Now the second round of the playoffs is coming to an end. The Pacers and Timberwolves have entered the division finals one after another. The Lakers who were eliminated in the first round have been resting for more than half a month. In an interview with Lakers General Manager Pelinka, he clearly stated that the first task in the offseason is to strengthen the inside line. Although the centers who have the possibility of trading in the offseason are not super giants, there are still many who can do basic frame protection defense. Currently, there are 5 people who have the possibility of trading. Can the Lakers get one of them to strengthen?

1, Gafford, currently the Mavericks have three inside players, among which they have given a maximum salary contract with Davis. Rifley will also have a maximum salary next season. Gafford wants a higher salary, but it is difficult for the Mavericks to give. If the contract renewal cannot be reached during the offseason, Gafford may apply for a deal, but the Lakers can fight for it, and have chips and positions left for Gafford. If it really comes, the Lakers will immediately become a strong contender in the West.

2, Kessler, a player who has been rumored to have sex with the Lakers before the trading deadline this season. Kessler's rookie contract is only one year left. He has the chance to renew his contract with the Jazz during the offseason, but the Jazz, whose record has been the last in recent years, has not focused on Kesser's future. The Lakers still have the chance to continue to fight for it in the offseason.

3, Vucevic, 34-year-old Vucevic can average 18 points and 10 rebounds in the Bulls this season, with a double-double area of 18 points and 10 rebounds. There are many rumors about Vucevic's trade in the middle of this season. The Lakers and the Warriors have always been considered potential next home. If Vucevic can come to the Lakers before the end of this season's trading day, I believe the Lakers will not be eliminated 1:4 in the playoffs.

4, Pulltel, one of the outstanding centers with an annual salary of 20 million yuan, has the highest average score and rebounds this season. After the end of this season, Pulltel's contract expires. For the Raptors, who are now playing badly, his trading value is very high. The Lakers have enough chips to match, it depends on whether the Raptors are willing to let him go.

5, Adams, Adams' contract expired after the end of this season. Although he is not the Rockets' starting center, his outstanding performance in the playoffs allows other teams to see his value. The Rockets are a young team. Adams has no latest renewal news with the Rockets. If he enters the free market, he will definitely get multiple teams to compete for. If the Lakers can get Adams as the inside, the effect will be much better than Hayes this season.
