Reeves is difficult to stay in the team! The Lakers try out two rookies, compete with the Warriors for Daluo, and are interested in 3D backcourt

On May 26, with the deepening of the NBA playoffs, the division finals have now entered a white-hot heat, with both the east and west tied with 2-1. The Thunder and the Knicks currently dominate, while some teams that were eliminated have begun to look at the offseason operation. According to US media reports, the Mavericks may pursue Ball Brother or Bruce Brown. The Mavericks are willing to give the starter promise as long as they can accept the basic salary contract.

The Mavericks do this because Irving will be absent for a long time next season. They need a point guard to make up for Irving's vacancy. I think they may have won the ball brother. In addition to the Mavericks, everyone is more concerned about the operations of the Lakers and the Warriors. Both teams lack qualified centers. According to ESPN reporter Bobby Max, the Warriors and the Lakers are expected to be interested in the Bucks' Big Lopez. Why are they still so popular when they are 37 years old?

Because of Daluo's positioning, Daluo is a 3B center. He is best at protecting the frame and three-pointers. His top inside defense ability and top space anti-aircraft guns can open up space and kill in the inside. His low-post offensive skills are very comprehensive. Daluo can average 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.9 blocks per game in the regular season this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37%. Daluo's biggest problem now is that he will be targeted in the playoffs. He is too slow, the small backcourt can't defend, and the young center can't keep up.

However, winning Daluo may only cost a basic salary contract to win him. I think he is more suitable for the Warriors. After all, he can use the team's system. At the same time, the Warriors don't need Daluo at the moment of death. They have the level of dream hunting to continue playing for five small players. The Lakers are different. Daluo is now a center with a pseudo-start level. What the Lakers need is a qualified starting center, not a rotation center.

The Lakers also have their own plans in pursuing centers. According to US media reports, the Lakers have recently tried out two rookies, one is Kentucky defender Lamont Butler, and the other is Kangda center Samson Johnson. Neither of these two are too high in the rankings, because they are both older drafts, butler's style of play is 3D, averaging 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.3 assists in the senior year, and 39% of three-pointers. The problem with the older draft is that the style of play is basically fixed, but it is still possible to be able to fight as soon as possible.

Johnson averaged 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game in his senior season. His scoring ability was very limited, but he was well defended, with a height of 2.08 meters and a terrifying 2.26 meters. The Lakers only have one 55 pick. Some friends here may ask why he didn't try Yang Hansen? The current situation is that there is a high probability that Henson will not be able to choose. Even if there is only one signing position, the Lakers can use the operation of choosing Xiaoli that year to win several rookies.

At the beginning, Xiaoli had a team who wanted to choose him with the second round of picks, but Xiaoli refused because the Lakers had promised that they would win him if they were out of the game. As a result, everyone has seen it now. Xiaoli played at the All-Star backcourt level this season, and averaged 20+ per game and became the Lakers' third core. The value of the game will bring a big contract. According to Lakers media, the team's defender Reeves wants a contract with an annual salary of more than 30 million, but the Lakers can only give him 89.2 million in four years this summer. It is expected that Xiaoli will refuse to renew the contract and jump out of the contract tomorrow summer. To be honest, after observing in recent years, I think he is not a playoff player, because he can’t get a whistle in the playoffs, and he will be named by his opponent on the defensive end, so he will lose 30 million. I think the Lakers try out the 3D backcourt, probably because they want to consider the issue of Reeves leaving. Today, Reeves' agent talked about this matter and said: People have no idea what will happen next.

Xiaoli wants a big contract, but the Lakers cannot give it, so it is likely that it will be difficult to stay in the team. The Lakers are also their own idea. They probably have begun to consider Xiaoli leaving the team. In addition to trying out this 3D backcourt rookie, according to TA's famous reporter Buha, Nets player Melton is a potential target of the Lakers. Melton is probably familiar with Warriors fans. This season, he and Curry have a good effect, with defense, three-pointers and can handle the ball, similar to Holiday's role.

Due to a serious injury this season, the Warriors traded him to the Nets for Schroeder. If they return to Melton next season, they are likely to not get a big contract. After all, he has just recovered from injury. He needs to play his worth and prove himself again. If he is allowed to partner with Doncic, the Lakers' backcourt defense will become better. No matter how the Lakers operate this summer, I think it is unlikely that they will introduce big-name stars. Maybe they will trade Xiaoli for a better championship puzzle, such as a good inside player, such as the Trail Blazers' Rowe, the Mavericks' Gafford, and the Nets' Clarkston.

James may be the last year of his career next season, and the Lakers should seize the opportunity. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
