The Lakers inside upgrade plan is exposed! Locking five major goals, trading + signing

According to the in-depth report of the well-known Lakers team reporter Anthony lrwin, the Lakers management has launched a plan to strengthen the inside line this summer, with the core strategy directly pointing to the trading market, and strive for a strong center who can be competent for the starter.

Irwin obtained key information from team insiders: "The Lakers' internal plan is very clear, and new starting centers must be introduced through trades." Sources revealed that several heavyweight names have appeared on the Lakers' negotiating table: Nets' mobile inside Clarkston, Trail Blazers' defensive champion Robert Williams, and Jazz's young Gotta Walker Kessler. The common point of these three players is that they can greatly improve the Lakers' athletic ability and defensive resilience in the frontcourt - this is the shortcomings exposed by the team last season.

If you successfully trade and get the starting center, the Lakers management will also have a "Plan B": use the valuable mini middle class special case (about $5 million in annual salary) to increase the depth of the inside in the free agent market. The two experienced veterans who are most likely to hold hands with the Lakers are Brooke Lopez of the Bucks and Clint Capela of the Hawks. What the team needs is not just a substitute, but a reliable rotation that can provide stable height and frame protection.

According to another senior Lakers reporter, Jovan Buha, in recent interactions, the team is likely to leave two-way contract players Colin Castleton and Jamison next season. Jamison, in particular, is likely to be positioned as the team's third center because of his plasticity in the center position, providing the necessary reserve of depth.

The Lakers' inside restructuring ideas this summer have come to paper: the trade focuses on starting centers (three major goals of Clarkston, Rowe and Kessler), the mini middle class aims at experienced substitutes (Dallow and Capela lead), and is supplemented by young two-way players (Jimison, etc.) to consolidate the depth of the lineup. If this combination of punches can be successfully shot, the Lakers' penalty area strength will usher in a qualitative leap next season. Can the Purple and Gold Legion get what it wants? The door to the trading market will be given the answer soon.
