I think the most likely person to enter the Lakers vision is Capela

According to the latest analysis of the well-known Lakers team reporter Jowan Buha, when the Lakers management turned their attention to the free agent market this summer and tried to strengthen the inside, a familiar name is quickly leaping into the most realistic and operational goal - Clint Capela.

"I think the most likely person to enter the Lakers' vision is Capela," Buha admitted on the show, "I know this answer may not be explosive enough, but the reality is. When you look at the centers this summer who really have the ability to start and have the possibility of flow, Capela's situation is the clearest - his role in Atlanta has been completely replaced by Okongu, and even dropped out of the starting lineup. "

This senior reporter pointed out the key: "This situation means that Capela is very likely to find another new boss this summer. Whether it is the starting lineup or the high-level rotation center of a strong team, he still has enough value. "

"Pie King " adapted to the Lakers? The value of pick-and-roll and rebounding is the key bargaining chip

Capela hits the Lakers' pain points. Although he played only 55 games in the regular season this season, he averaged 8.9 points and 8.5 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage remained at 55.9%. The data may seem dull, but its solid pick-and-roll screen quality, efficient basket finishing ability (career shooting percentage is as high as 62.9%) and stable rebounding protection are the inside elements that the Lakers urgently need to add.

The Hawks' transformation has accelerated their departure, and the Lakers need to seize the window of opportunity

Capela's weakening role in Atlanta is an indisputable fact. As Okonggu, who is young and more spatially attributed, is being straightened, and the rejuvenation of the Hawks lineup is accelerating. The 30-year-old Capela's expiration contract of up to $22.3 million makes him an ideal bargaining chip for the team to adjust its salary structure.

For the Lakers, this undoubtedly opens a window of opportunity. The team has limited salary space, and it is difficult to sign a big-name center directly. Capela, who has rich experience and clear functions, is the optimal solution within the operational range of the management. If the negotiations go smoothly, the pick-and-roll master who once set off an "altitude storm" between the Rockets and Harden may create new sparks with James and Davis in Los Angeles.

The Lakers' plan to strengthen the inside is on the verge of being on the string, and Clint Capela's name is breaking through the alternative list and becoming the most bet center answer for the Purple and Gold Legion this summer.
