These two are the Lakers ultimate goal in the offseason!

The Lakers did not disappoint the fans this year's offseason. Perhaps this is why the Lakers have replaced their new boss and are no longer stingy and reluctant to spend money on the team's strengthening. Although the Lakers lost the team's core defensive player Finney Smith in the offseason, they were exchanged for three strong players, Ayton, Smart and Laravia. However, due to the aging team's lineup, the Lakers' current strength has not yet fully entered the ranks of championship contenders. Especially Ayton's performance at the center position is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and his performance in defense is not satisfactory. In defense, it is difficult to improve the Lakers' outside defense problems with Smart alone. Therefore, the Lakers still need to strengthen the center and outside defensive players, and the most suitable players for the Lakers in the trading market are Holiday and Rowe.

Holiday, a veteran over 35 years old, was able to average 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game last season, but these data do not fully reflect his role. You should know that he is a player known for his defense. His defensive ability and rich game experience are of great value to the Lakers. However, his contract terms have become a big trouble for the Lakers. Its salary is as high as 32.4 million next season, and the contract will be extended to the 2027-28 season, and the last year will be as high as 37.2 million, which obviously increases the salary burden of the Lakers.

and Loway was only twenty-seven years old, and there was only one year contract worth 13.3 million. This is not a big problem for the Lakers. You should know that the Lakers have always had ideas about Rowe and want to defeat this young center who is known for defense. Imagine that if he and Ayton defend and attack, the Lakers' center position will become perfect.

Now the Lakers' contracts of Hachimura, Vincent and Kleber have expired, and their salary matches the needs of Holiday and Rowe. This transaction will be completely possible. You should know that the Lakers' new season is aimed at the championship. Coupled with the old James' desire for the championship, the Lakers will also strive to create a new championship lineup. Let us wait and see the final deal for the Lakers' new season!
