The Lakers have left the team at least three! Hachimura is more likely to be traded than Kori. Famous reporters discuss inside targets

On May 31, according to foreign media Basketnews, Lakers' Hayes, Markieff Morris and Ryan are regarded as the most likely Lakers players to leave in the offseason. They are all completely free agents and can sign with any team.
Hayes will return to the Lakers next season after losing his rotation role in the playoffs. Ryan is obviously not in the Lakers' long-term plan, and Morris Big is hardly present except in the locker room.
So who else will leave the Lakers? According to
ClutchPoints, unless the deal involves an All-Star player who can adapt to Doncic for a long time, the Lakers will not seriously consider any trade offer regarding Reeves. By contrast, Hachimura is more flexible in deal negotiations, in other words, Hachimura is more likely to be traded than Reeves. But this operation still faces resistance - many key figures within the team hope to stay Hachimura for different reasons.
Hachimura Jue performed well in the first round of the playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves, filling the shortcomings of Lakers' height and frontcourt depth. Reeves failed to continue his regular season form. He averaged 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists in five playoff games, but shot only 31.9% from three-pointers.
The most important task for the Lakers during the offseason is to strengthen the inside.
"They will find a big guy," Spotac reporter Keith Smith said on his show. "They need a big guy who can eat cake at the basket. I'm not sure who it will be... For example, Brooke Lopez and Clint Capela. I think Capela's style of play is more suitable, but Brooke Lopez is also good. We'll wait and see, but in short, they need a big guy."
Capela and Lopez are both completely free agents. Although the Lakers currently do not have the ability to sign any of them directly in full, they can complete the transaction by signing first and then changing. However, it is still unknown what chips they need to give out in such a transaction.
But all signs indicate that the Lakers realized that the team needed a real center as early as February this year when they got Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets trade (and then returned it). Williams failed to officially join because he failed the physical examination.
31-year-old Capela has played 55 games for the Hawks this season, averaging 8.9 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, and shooting percentage of 55.9%. Lopez, 37, has played in 80 games, averaging 13.0 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, and has a shooting percentage of 50.9%. His shooting range is further than Capela, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.3%.
