Antetokounmpo supports James, the Lakers are willing to trade! Lakers’ celebrity: The Lakers don’t need to introduce centers

On June 10, James responded to the bad comments from social media on the "Brain of the Stadium" program, "Some people always say that LeBron has no skills, I got 50 billion points." Antetokounmpo reposted the video of the Lakers' self-media and replied: No one really believes that one of the greatest players on earth has no skills, God, I have seen everything. Although James has already obtained enough points in his career, James' technical ability has been questioned. In the eyes of some people, the reason why James got these points is because James relies on his physical ability to score. However, Antetokounmpo is now standing up to support James.

Although James has been questioned here, these things are probably commonplace for James. I believe that James' goal next season is still to compete for the championship. Judging from the current situation, James is likely to continue to stay in the Lakers. If the Lakers want to compete for the championship next season, then the Lakers must make up for the shortcomings in the inside. After all, the reason why the Lakers were eliminated by the Timberwolves in the playoffs is because the Lakers' inside line has too obvious flaws, especially when Hayes cannot get playing time, Gobert really showed his power in the Lakers' inside line. With Edwards and Randle's performance, the Lakers were eventually eliminated by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs.

At the same time, for the Lakers, they do have flaws in the interior, but more importantly, Doncic also needs a center around him to help him. Therefore, in the offseason, the Lakers must get a starting center, and now the Lakers' favorite Kessler can also be traded. In fact, the Lakers once wanted Kessler this season, but at this time the Jazz regarded Kessler as a non-sale item. However, according to the Jazz's team reporter Sarah Todd, many league sources said that the Jazz will be very active in the next few weeks. Many people expect that the Jazz will be willing to listen to trading quotes involving this year's draft picks or existing lineup players. The reporter said that players whose contracts such as Collins, Sexton and Clarkson will expire in the 2025-26 season are obviously popular candidates for the trade. But league sources said Kessler and Markkanen are expected to be included in the deal discussion as well.

It can be seen that Kessler is no longer a non-sale product. Although the Jazz's asking price will be very high, the Lakers finally have a chance to get Kessler at this time. Not only does Kessler's ability match the Lakers, Kessler, who is only 23 years old, undoubtedly meets the Lakers' plans for the future. Therefore, for the Lakers, if they really have the chance to get Kessler, the Lakers also need to do their best. In the regular season, Kessler averages 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.4 blocks per game. Lakers legend Michael Cooper talked about the Lakers' offseason signings in Sports Illustrated. Cooper said that the Lakers do not need to introduce centers anymore. He said: If the Lakers keep Hayes, plus Vanderbilt plays power forwards, and Claiber. Once they agree on the defensive philosophy, they will win the championship.

When Lakers legend Cooper made such remarks, Cooper was questioned a lot. You should know that the Lakers' flaws in the inside are too obvious. Although Hayes has good physical abilities, Hayes' help to the Lakers is very limited, especially on a big stage like the playoffs. Hayes' ability is obviously not enough. After all, Hayes did not play in the playoffs. Unfortunately, Hayes made some low-level mistakes and was gradually reduced by Reddick. Vanderbilt can indeed help the team in the power forward position, but Vanderbilt's offensive ability prevents him from playing too much time, and Kleber's ability is obviously not strong enough. Therefore, even if this lineup can indeed make a difference in the regular season, it will inevitably restrict the Lakers again in the playoffs, so the Lakers must sign a center in the offseason.
