Lakers death lineup! After signing Smart, the Purple and Gold Army will chase Miles Bridges again

Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers sent Anthony Davis, Christie and a future first-round pick to win European Magic Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks.

It's a pity that General Manager Pelinka failed to truly plan and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. After completing the transaction, the Purple and Gold Legion lacked an excellent big man, which made the team's lineup too deformed. In fact, it was precisely because Hayes and Ryan were useless that the Los Angeles Lakers were defeated in the playoffs and were swept out by the Minnesota Timberwolves. The taste of losing is undoubtedly bitter, but Pelinka has no time to be sad at all. He must build a competitive team around Doncic. As for James, he has been completely injected into the cold palace. Therefore, all the operations of the Los Angeles Lakers in the offseason are centered around Doncic's needs.

So, we can see that the Purple and Gold Army first used cash and draft picks to upgrade to 36th pick and selected Thiero. After that, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated all sides in the free market, signing 2018 No. 1 pick Aiton and wing forward Laravic in one go, and defended Smart from the outside.

Doncic also made a lot of efforts in these operations of the Lakers. Smart was recruited by him repeatedly calling. However, Pelinka's operation did not seem to have stopped completely. According to a well-known NBA reporter Marc J. Spears, a source revealed that after signing Smart, the Lakers will actively chase Miles Bridges. It is understood that the Purple Gold Legion will send Hachimura, Knector and a future first-round pick.

At present, the Hornets are carrying out reconstruction work step by step. During this reconstruction process, Bridges has become an attractive potential trading target in the eyes of many teams. As for the Lakers, they might as well try to use the same chips as the plan and strive to sign this powerful player.

Bridges is a complete fierce player on the court. He has produced impressive statistics of 20 points and 7 rebounds per game for three consecutive years. He was unstoppable in the attack at the basket and his playing style was extremely fierce. If he can join the Lakers, he will definitely greatly reduce the burden on James on offensive and rebounding.
