The Lakers favorite center appears! Aiming at the Nets spring man, US media revealed that negotiations have quietly begun

The latest report of well-known NBA reporter Hardwood Paroxysm triggered trading rumors: "League sources revealed that the trading discussion between the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets center Nicholas Clarkston has exceeded the scope of pure theory." The reporter emphasized that recently, many media focusing on the Lakers frequently mentioned this potential transaction, showing that there is indeed substantial contact and exploration behind it.

For the Lakers who are determined to improve their interior athletic ability and defensive coverage, Clarkston's style is an ideal puzzle. With its amazing running and jumping talent and agility, the 25-year-old center can not only act as an efficient "guardian of the penalty area" and a reliable "cake-eating expert". Its characteristic of quickly hitting the basket is considered to greatly enrich the Lakers' offensive system, especially to enhance the threat of conversion.

It is worth noting that the Nets and the Lakers have successfully completed many transactions (such as Westbrook and Hachimura related transactions), and the management of the two sides has a certain tacit understanding of trading. In addition, Clarkston is in a contract year and joining a team with clear competitiveness is quite attractive to his career planning, which also adds realistic possibilities to the deal.

So far this season, Clarkston averaged 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, and his real positive and negative defense value has been at the forefront of the league center. His rebounding, frame protection deterrent power and ability to switch to the outside are the key links that need to be strengthened in the Lakers lineup.

With the undercurrents surging during the trading window period, whether this Nets' inside pillar will become the next player to change the goal through the "Los Angeles-Brooklyn Channel" has become the focus of hot discussion among Lakers fans. The Purple and Gold Legion's recruitment radar has obviously firmly locked on this young man with great athletic ability.
