The trading market is booming, the Lakers are not making any noise! What is Pelinka waiting for?
9:38am, 1 July 2025【Basketball】
The NBA trading market has been extremely hot recently: the Magic got Bain; the Rockets exchanged Durant; the Celtics sold Holiday and Porzingis... Today, the Trail Blazers bought out Ayton again; however, in the hot market, the Lakers remain indifferent! Apart from choosing a 3-less D on the 36th and letting go of the electric fan, the Lakers have no valuable operations this summer.

Ayton was bought out
The current Lakers lineup:
Back line: Doncic, Reeves, Vincent, Milton, Brownie;
Forward line: James, Hachimura, Knecott, Vanderbilt, Kolebel, Tiero;
Center: No (Hayes and Ryan expired)

Reeves
With the Lakers having two engines, James and Doncic, there is no need to leave Reeves, who is strong offense and weak defense and needs a defender with a ball in hand, but need a 3D backcourt that can share Doncic's defensive pressure and have a range; in addition, the weakness of the Lakers' center position has reached a time to solve. So the Lakers' needs are obvious:
1 starting centers with frame protection and cake-eating ability + 1 starting 3D defender!
When Ayton, the No. 1 pick in the "two-double machine", was bought out, the Lakers really can't miss it anymore. As long as you can get it for about 10 million, you can sign it firmly! Even if he is a substitute center, he is definitely better than Hayes and Ryan! After signing Ayton, you can use "Reeves + the balance contract (Van der Biao, Coke Cup, etc.) or + the draft pick" to exchange for a starting center. For example, the Jazz's Casele, the Bulls' Vucevic, and the Nets' Clarkston.

Pellinka
So, Pelinka can't wait any longer, it's time to take action! The hat of "Los Angeles Interested Team" is time to take off!
