On November 7th, Beijing time, two experts from the American media Laker Showlife talked about how the Los Angeles Lakers will use the 28th pick in the first round of 2020. They both think the Lakers will trade this first round pick but not send it away. Instead, the 28th pick is used to select the rookie before the trade. Because the Lakers' first round of 2019 was sent to the Pelicans, the league does not allow two consecutive years without first-round picks, so the Lakers can only trade after selecting the rookie. Earlier news that the Lakers intend to use the 28th pick to select Terrell Terry or Grant Lille. (The 28th pick is worth about 1.96 million.)
One of the experts, Mark Kaman, said that the Lakers do not want to have young rookies but they have more ambitious goals. In 2021, the Lakers hope to defend the championship, but a rookie cannot. Immediately becoming a rookie selected by the 28th pick in the immediate battle power trade can help the Lakers reinforce the lineup in the trading market. At present, Rondo and Pope have jumped out of the contract, and the Markieff-Morris brothers signed a new brokerage company. What the Lakers need to do in the trading market.
is Derrick Rose. He is considered to be the most likely point guard the Lakers can trade. Rose’s salary next season is 7.68 million. The Lakers only need to send Quinn Cook and the rookie selected by the 28th pick. After the deal is reached, the Pistons have officially entered the reconstruction period. Griffin, Rose and many others are on the shelves. Rose averaged 18+5 per game last season. He can become the best substitute for Rondo. The Lakers really need one. The backup point guard came to share the worries for the old Zhan.
second place, Elfried Payton, Payton averaged 10 points, 7.2 assists, 4.7 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.4 blocks per game in the Knicks last season, shooting 43.9% from the field and 20.3% from the three-point range. His weakness is Three-point shooting ability, the advantage is size, athletic ability, defensive ability, organization and offensive ability. His salary next season is 8 million. The Lakers can easily balance his salary. The 28th rookie is one of the bargaining chips. Rose going to trade for Payton is also a good addition to the point guard.
The third Nemania-Belica. The 32-year-old Belica's salary next season is 7.15 million, but the 7.15 million salary is not guaranteed, that is, the daily salary system. The Lakers can keep him depending on his performance after the deal. The 32-year-old Bielica averaged 11.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.86 steals and 0.64 blocks per game last season, shooting 48% from the field and 42% from the three-point range. The Serbian forward has a comprehensive style of play. He is 2.08 meters tall and can play No. 3-5. The Lakers can make up for Markieff Morris’s departure with the 28th pick. He is more comprehensive than Markieff, and he is also good at being a high-ranking European forward.
