Average of 11+12, Kessler s defense covers the league first! The Lakers have 4-for-1 plan, this is Doncic s perfect partner

The new season is getting closer and closer. The Lakers have been doing the management in the past summer, and the four words "pretending to strengthen". The prefix before the reinforcement is because James implemented the player option worth $52.6 million. General Manager Pelinka's attitude is that he hopes that James will retire as a Lakers player, but he has no intention of providing James with a contract renewal. The Lakers' signings of Ayton + Laravia + Smart only meet the core Doncic's basic tactical configuration needs in the new season. But compared with last season, Finney Smith, the team's best defense, left. Smart has defense but no shooting, and Laravia has shooting but no defense, which seems to be in a bad mood. The most embarrassing thing is Ayton, who bought out with the Trail Blazers and actively joined the Lakers.

But the experience of the past few years has proved that he is not a qualified inside starter. The troubles of injuries are only one aspect. The key is that he lacks enterprising spirit and is just a transition for the Lakers next season. Doncic's two appearances in the Western Conference Finals and one entry to the finals in three years at the Mavericks proved that he needed a top inside player + an excellent forward blue-collar partner. At the same time, "good news" came from the Jazz, and the team was unable to complete an early contract renewal with Kessler. Kessler was obviously likely to become a restricted player. The Jazz faced two choices, sending him away next season, or waiting for the qualification quotation tomorrow summer to wait for other teams to quote. In addition, Los Angeles media revealed that the Jazz offered a high price for Kessler, and the Lakers may have to pay Reeves + multiple first rounds. The Jazz is the Lions' big talk, but the Lakers have a chance to get Kessler. In response to this, column reporter Gupta wrote an article, giving a trading plan, specifically: the Lakers gave Hachimura Hiroshi + Kneckett + 31 first round pick + 32 second round pick, and got Kessler. In Gupta's words, if the entire league can offer this level of offer to buy a blue-collar center, there are probably only the Lakers who are in urgent need, and as time goes by, Kessler's trading market will only get lower and lower, just like Kumingga. Column reporter Varyl reported that although Pelinka has been unwilling to give up future draft picks in recent years, it was made clear at the new season press conference that if a deal can keep the Lakers excellent and increase the probability of the championship, then we must do this! What level of player is

Kesler? Last season, he averaged 11 points and 12 rebounds per game, making him the only three players in the Jazz with positive On-Off value (Sexton + Collins + Kessler). Among them, he averaged 4.6 games in the frontcourt rebounds, and his inside shooting percentage and second-time offensive efficiency are the top five in the league. The key is that he averaged 3-point shooting average per game, second in the shooting average per game, and averaged 2.9 screen assists per game (12th in the league) and 2.6 spots (4th in the league). Based on all this data, it was obtained from the Jazz in the team, so his offensive and defensive data is of great value! He has absolute talent. He was selected for the first team of the rookie season, and Ban Kairo + Jewe, who were selected for the first team, both received a super maximum salary of 270 million yuan.

Homgren and Jabbarry Smith Jr. also received early contract renewal. They are 2.13 meters tall, 2.24 wings, 76% shooting percentage at the basket, and few fouls (2.2 per game) and turnovers (1.5 per game). ESPN's evaluation is: he is a very outstanding pick-and-roll hand, with extremely high screen quality. His future growth template can be compared to Zubac (36th in the league's top 100 in the new season), provided that he joins a team that can make him grow. Many media used him and Gobert to compare, but Kessler obviously has stronger mobility and coverage area, averaging 2.4 blocks per game for two consecutive seasons. The PER value last season exceeded 20, and Gobert could not do this at the same time. Kessler is only 24 years old, which meets Doncic's expectations for his career trajectory with the Lakers.

Of course, this quotation chip by the Lakers is probably the best that the Jazz can receive. Kneckett is equivalent to a first-round pick. Hachimura Shizuo is an expiring contract, which can help the Jazz clear their salary space. When the Jazz basically determines that they will rebuild the team around Bailey in the future, Makanin is not actually planning for the future. Key Jazz did not have any decent operations throughout the summer. Collins, who had a good trading market, ended up just getting the second round pick from Love (ready to buy out at any time) + Li Kaile + Clippers. Everyone knows that Angie is a cunning fox. If the Lakers' chips cannot impress Angie, then Angie will not get a better offer from other teams.

Everyone understands that Ayton is a transition and James is about to usher in the farewell season of his Lakers' career. The Lakers' next focus is to create an extremely comfortable lineup configuration for Doncic. Kessler is equivalent to a piece of rough jade, which requires Doncic to carve and can also achieve Doncic. If James leaves, the Lakers also have salary space to continue to find a partner for Doncic. Pelinka has been holding on to the first round of picks for several years and is reluctant to use them in the James era, but if Doncic is still so stingy in his turn, he is not far from being over.
