Is it not sweet to be forced? Hayes has already complained publicly, why do the Lakers still sign him?

Unless the trade comes to the inside of the celebrity, of course, this possibility is not great. After all, the reason why Ayton joined the Lakers after buying out must have received the starting promise. Therefore, the starting center of the Purple and Gold Army in the new season is Ayton.

The starter is Ayton, what about the substitute center?

Although there is a two-way contract player Korlock and Kelly, who just signed a 10-day contract, it is obvious that the Lakers' second team center is Hayes. Then the interesting one comes.

According to the NBA China official website, Hayes is dissatisfied with his role at the end of the season and the possibility of returning to the Lakers is slim.

Note: This news comes after the NBA free agent market just started and Ayton announced the signing of the Lakers.

Reasonablely, when players publicly complain that the team is more likely to send him off and get rid of him for the sake of unity in the locker room, why do the Lakers do the opposite and still have to sign him? ——On July 9, according to ESPN famous reporter Shams, the Lakers and Hayes reached a one-year contract renewal of 3.45 million yuan.

Positioning

The reason why Ayton chose the Lakers is that there are Doncic, which can add to the center and super high exposure. To put it bluntly, it is to "gilding". So unless there is an injury in the new season, I expect to be around 35 minutes per game. More opportunities can theoretically transform more beautiful data.

Nhais is positioned as a substitute center who averages about 10 minutes per game.

Hairs averaged 6.5 points per game when playing as a substitute in the 24-25 season, ranking 23rd among the players in the same position. Considering that you should take into account both defense when starting, the substitute can devote more energy to the offensive end. From the side, Hayes has no problem playing as a substitute center.

Reinforcement candidate

To be honest, if Pelinka is willing to give up chips, such as giving up Reeves, first round, Kessler, Raptors' Boltel, Nets' Clarkston, etc. But the problem is that once the transaction comes, Ayton will be lost. I mean, Ayton won't choose the Lakers if he doesn't get the starting promise.

Of course, Pelinka is not necessarily Aiton. However, if you earn an annual top scorer of 15+10 per game per year with an annual salary of 8 million, you won’t lose anyway. Therefore, the Lakers cannot work if they become famous in the transaction, which is a center that is powerful.

Lopez chose the Clippers, Capela signed first and then joined the Rockets, Sharp reached a contract renewal with the Nets, and Valan was traded to the Nuggets. One of the few high-quality substitute centers this summer has the next one.

As for Horford, it is indeed a good choice, but the current probability is to either join the Warriors or retire. Others such as Poll Poll and Bamba have no advantages over Hayes. Hayes' advantage is that he has a chemical reaction with the Lakers and has proven his "eating cake".

Disadvantages

If Hayes is in a grudge in the new season, he will be able to reduce his chances or even DNP.

First of all, Hayes is positioned as a substitute center, not an "incompetent" in which the 24-25 season of the 24-25th season, and was forced to be pushed into the starting lineup. Secondly, Hayes's characteristics are more just "eating cakes" at the basket, and in addition to rebounds, pick-and-roll screens, and basket protection are all messy.

To a large extent, even Redick really has a DNP Hayes influenced the team. Don't forget that with Ayton, the substitute's playing time is basically about 10 minutes per game. In this way, James and Hachimura can just push up.

In summary, Hays publicly complained about why the Lakers still signed him, and the reasons are generally as follows:

1. Positioned as a substitute and relatively competent;

2. With Ayton, the ready-made center is not able to trade, and high-quality centers have found their next player, and Hays is almost the most preferred one;

3. If Hays Hays continues to complain, even the DNP will not have much impact on the team.

Relatively speaking, the second point is the main reason.

First of all, Ayton's age and past history (data) can prove that he can fight Doncic for at least 5 years. Secondly, if Lopez or Capela is willing to come to the Lakers to get a basic salary, I believe Pelinka will not choose Hayes, but it is not. So Pelinka could only choose Hayes by "taking the general from his son".

Finally, whether Hayes has been able to break the gap with the Lakers in the new season, or whether there are still complaints about the unsweetness of the melon, let's wait and see.
