US media revealed that the Lakers will make big moves! Want to return to the championship ranks: 5 to 1KD, interested in Luca s former teammate

On May 12, the NBA playoffs continued. Today, the Thunder defeated the Nuggets. Jokic made 7 of 22 shots in the game, made 2 of 8 three-pointers, scored 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals. The offensive efficiency was very poor. Famous reporter Sam commented: Jokic seemed to meet the 2020 Park Lakers, and he played very passively. Speaking of the 20-year Lakers, there may be few of them that have won the championships in recent years.

After the Lakers traded Doncic, their purpose was very clear, which was to continue to win the championship in the future. Many stars hoped to come in a big football market like the Lakers. After all, the exposure of the Lakers is large enough, and more endorsement contracts can be obtained here, so it may be easier for the Lakers to trade and get stars than other teams. In the first round of this season, this is obviously not what the Lakers want.

According to a reporter from the US media "Sports Illustrated", the Lakers are expected to make major moves this summer, which is to allow the team to return to the championship ranks in 82 regular season games and the playoffs. In this case, the Lakers may consider trading this summer. James may be the last year of his career next season, so they also want to seize James' final peak. As for the deal to send James away, or James's departure from the team himself, I don't think it's realistic. Considering the interests, retirement tour is a wise choice for both sides.

And who will the Lakers introduce? This is a question that everyone is more concerned about. What can be confirmed is that they will definitely consider introducing a suitable center in the offseason. After all, the team was eliminated this season because of lack of inside lines, and they will not make the same mistake again. According to ESPN famous reporter Tim, Mavericks center Gafford may be a potential trading target for the Lakers. He said this is purely speculative and we can analyze possible operations from the perspective of the general manager. The Mavericks have quietly tested Gafford's trading on the trading deadline, and it is completely logical for them to do this this summer.

Afterwards, he also said that considering the Mavericks' salary space, it is unrealistic for them to keep their three centers. Rifley will consider renewing their contract in advance tomorrow. Gafford's contract will enter the last year, so considering these, it is impossible for the Mavericks to give Gafford a starting center-level salary. In this way, Gafford has a chance to join forces with Luca again. When the two teams met, Doncic told Gafford that they would continue to cooperate.

It is estimated that Doncic will recommend to the management that the transaction will be obtained by Horford in the offseason, and the US media PIXEL had conceived a trading plan, which is a three-party transaction: the Hawks get Marshall, the Lakers get Gafford, the Mavericks get Vincent, Vanderbilt, Nian, the second round picks of the two Hawks and a first-round exchange of the Lakers. I think this deal is indeed feasible. The Mavericks not only strengthened their defense, but also won an excellent shooter like Nion.

When Gafford and Doncic cooperated, the two sides showed a good understanding. Gafford is a pancake insider. His playing style is very suitable for playing around Doncic. With such a pancake center, Doncic can also play the role of the most. The Lakers can now pick-and-roll players with Doncic, and the effect is not ideal. After all, it is impossible to complete an efficient ending and cannot provide Doncic with enough space to attack.

The US media also advised the Lakers to win Durant. Although it was reported that the Rockets were interested in Durant, the recent news revealed by the US media is that the Rockets are more interested in Booker. Durant is here. If the Suns ask for fewer chips, the Rockets will choose to trade to get him. Although the Rockets are less interested in Durant, there are still many teams in the league who are interested in him, such as the Knicks, Heat and Mavericks, who are interested in him.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the Lakers who want to form a grand formation will be interested in him. The US media also conceived that the Lakers traded Durant, and they sent Reeves, Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Kneckett and Vincent to get Durant. The Lakers are equivalent to sending many of their top blue-collar workers, as well as two potential young players, Li Li and Kneckett. Li Li is likely to become an All-Star in the future. I think if the Lakers give these chips in exchange for Durant, they are willing, but the Suns may not be satisfied.

Although the Suns want to rebuild around Booker, they want more young players and first-round picks, and they even care more about their own first-round picks in the Rockets. The outside world has always predicted that the Rockets would trade Durant. The main reason is that the Suns' first-round picks are in their hands. If they want to rebuild, they must bring back these first-round picks, otherwise the team is hoarding talents for the Rockets, which will be worth the loss.

The Lakers should probably be more rational, build an excellent lineup thickness like this season, and then introduce a qualified starting center. I think that would be good, but Li may become the bargaining chip other teams want. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
