Meet James' current requirements for winning, US media advises the Lakers to sell their first round picks to upgrade to the 14-man roster! The US media "fadeawayworld" revealed the trading plans of each of the three teams to get the required ones, and the Lakers won three new players in one go through this deal.

After meeting James' requirements
After getting Doncic last season, the Lakers began to shift their focus from James to Doncic, and they were even more clear in the offseason. After facing James, they implemented the player option to stay in the team and put pressure on the team to strengthen the team through their agents.
The Lakers management has a clear attitude and hopes to leave more chips for Doncic, and even is unwilling to overdraw the salary space in advance. It plans to introduce another super helper for Doncic after the 27-year James contract expires.
Faced with such a situation, the differences between James and the Lakers on the establishment of the team are the biggest hidden danger of the Purple and Gold Army in the new season. Even the introduction of three new players Ayton, Smart and Laravia is not enough to meet James' requirements. For this reason, the US media advises the Lakers to meet James' requirements to avoid internal chaos.

The US media showed a three-party trading plan
In this case, the US media "fadeawayworld" posted a transaction plan for each of the three parties to obtain the required, and advised the Purple and Gold Army to trade one of the few first-round picks and introduce three major new players to strengthen.

The potential trading plan is as follows
Lakers get: Dillon + Highsmith + Richards;
Suns get: Hachimura Leather + Kneckett + 2030 Lakers first round swap + 2031 Lakers first round pick;
Nets get: Claybel + 2026 Suns second round pick + 2032 Lakers second round pick.

Nets: Accumulate future chips
In previous transactions, the Heat sent Highsmith to the Nets to save luxury taxes, which received a draft pick reward.
Through this trading plan, the Nets further gained draft pick returns, and for the reconstruction team, it is perfect to complete such a transaction as a third party in the transaction.
Especially considering that the Nets have selected multiple first-round picks in one go and need to be trained, that is, the combat power Highsmithburn is not in the team's future plans.

Suns: After accelerating the reconstruction, the Suns knocked down and rebuilded this summer and rebuilded the lineup around Booker and Jaylen Green.
However, according to the current lineup structure of the Suns, the Suns are in an embarrassing state of "not up or down", and after winning the inside super rookie Maruac, the team's insiders are crowded.
Through this trading plan, the Suns received first-round picks and first-round exchange returns, and Kneckett, a new star worthy of training. The 27-year-old Hachimura is not big, and has stable space capabilities, which can open up space for Booker and Jaylen Green.

Lakers: Improve depth
Kneckett's growth and performance were lower than expected, and Hachimura's contract renewal problem also plagued the Lakers management. At the same time, the team's inside staff are still insufficient. Through this transaction, the Lakers solved multiple problems in one go.
First of all, he won Richards, a blue-collar finishing insider who perfectly meets Doncic's needs for cakes, which can complement Ayton, who has a weak play style.
Dillon is a typical stadium villain and a high-quality 3D forward. With the qualified blue-collar wing rotation Highsmith, the Lakers completed the comprehensive upgrade of the lineup in one go and also dealt with Claybel's garbage contract.

The Lakers upgraded the 14-man roster. If the Lakers can complete this trading plan, they will upgrade the 14-man luxury roster. The specific list is as follows:
Potential starters: Doncic, Reeves, James, Dillon and Ayton;
9 substitutes: Richards, Highsmith, Hayes, Vanderbilt, Vincent, Laravia, Smart, Brownie and Adu Tiero.
