Hit 72+22+14! The super three giants are very strong, but they cannot win the championship. They should indeed trade for center

In the offseason this summer, the Lakers and the Warriors have some ideas. They both want to get a powerful center inside player, preferably an inside player who can get close to the All-Star strength. For example, previously reported by the US media that the Lakers and the Warriors both want to win Lopez. Lopez was once an All-Star player, but now he is old, and his offensive and defensive abilities are no longer as good as his peak. Lakers fans believe that James and Doncic still need younger and more powerful centers to solve the problems of the team's insufficient offense in the interior and insufficient defense and protection baskets.

The Lakers played very well in the regular season and entered the playoffs with the third record in the West. However, in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers were defeated by the Timberwolves and eliminated, which made it difficult for fans to accept. Randall and Gobert of the Timberwolves have a slamming the Lakers' weak inside line, and Redick doesn't even dare to let Hays play for more time. Doncic + Reeves + James, this group of Big Three is indeed very sharp. His three-man averaged at least 72 points + 22 rebounds + 14 assists per game, but he still couldn't lead the team to win. This shows a problem: if you have offense alone, you can't go far without defense; if you have excellent outside, you can't go far without enough inside. The backcourt combination of Doncic and Reeves, in the second half of the regular season, they averaged 60+14+12 per game. At that time, the US media even believed that Doncic and Reeves were the strongest backcourt duo in the league, and said they wanted to give them a title. However, in the playoffs, Reeves was restricted by the Timberwolves' defense and was unable to exert his offensive scoring strength. Moreover, neither Doncic nor Reeves have excellent defense, and the Lakers' backcourt defense loopholes are magnified, which makes the Lakers very passive. Many fans say that the Lakers should give Doncic a 3D defender partner, such as a defensive defender like Ju Holiday.

US media ClutchPoints commentator Shannon Sharpe said that it is difficult for the Lakers (Doncic James Reeves) to win the championship because they have no defense. If the Lakers want to upgrade their lineup, Austin Reeves may become a bargaining chip. Reeves is the only valuable trading asset for the Lakers. Anyway, Reeves wants a big contract, and the Lakers can't afford this price and can't keep it, so trading for centers is the best choice. The Lakers have two first-round picks and trade chips such as Knector, which is not a problem to strengthen a powerful center.

Moreover, Shannon Sharpe also emphasized that he did not belittle Reeves. He believed that Reeves was an excellent defender, but the transaction was beneficial to both sides. On the one hand, the Lakers Reeves could go to other teams to play better data and get larger contracts. On the other hand, the Lakers could trade to get a real franchise-protected inside line to help James and Doncic compete for the championship. Moreover, at present, Reeves' trading value is still quite high, and the Lakers should indeed consider trading monetization to achieve a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.

The center that is most suitable for the Lakers in the NBA league should be Kessler of the Jazz. He averaged 11.2 points + 12.2 rebounds (fifth in the league) + 1.7 assists + 2.4 blocks (second in the league), and his shooting percentage is 66.3%, which is very efficient. Kessler has surpassed Gobert in his overall score, rebounding ability and defensive blocking ability. The Lakers have wanted to trade Kessler for a long time, but Jazz general manager Angie asked for two first-round picks, and Pelinka was unwilling to do so. NBA experts believe that the Lakers' first-round picks are traded with Kessler and Collins, which is a very good trading reinforcement plan.
