With the determination of the opening time of the new season, many teams have begun planning for the new season. Many teams in the league have changed their head coaches this season, which also means that more player exchanges will occur. It is reported that with the shortened off-season, the free market will open ahead of schedule. As the champion of last season, the Lakers also made it clear that their goal for the new season is still to bring another trophy to Los Angeles to create a new league record. Looking at the Lakers list, you will be surprised to find that there are only 7 players with contracts on the team, which means that the Lakers must actively recruit the team during the offseason.
In the presence of James and Davis, the team’s salary space is very limited. If you want to introduce a superstar, you must clear up Green’s big contract, and because of the poor performance last season, there are few. The team is willing to accept the champion shooter. The Lakers can only take second place and choose some top 3D players. Ibaka has become the favored object of many Lakers fans. From the perspective of the positioning and playing style on the field, Ibaka is indeed a perfect fit for the current Lakers lineup. He has good mid-range shooting and interior rebound protection. His existence Can make Davis more at home and abroad. However, the arrival of Ibaka will inevitably result in the team not having sufficient salary space to supplement the strikers.
The increasing age of James every year is for the Lakers to better manage their load in the new season. No one in the current Lakers lineup can well replace the forward players. For Pelinka, the team The first consideration is how to introduce a qualified blue-collar player on the front line. From the perspective of free market personnel, the Lakers' pursuit of Ibaka is not as strong as fans imagined. Some good forward players or the team is eager to add positions.
Jeff Green, Crowder, Morris, Morris and other players should be important players for the Lakers to consider. If the Lakers can use Kuzma and Green in exchange for some good chips in the offseason, it would be the best supplement for the team. However, even if Green and Kuzma stay on the team, the team can also strengthen from the above-mentioned forward players. The excellent performance of Morris Jr. in the Clippers last season has attracted the attention of many Lakers fans. If the team can The introduction of Morris in the offseason will be the greatest liberation for James, so that James will get a great rest time at the beginning of the regular season.
Pelinka has not disclosed any news to the Lakers fans so far. However, judging from the major media and players, the Lakers’ signings during the off-season may be much easier than fans imagined. The situation in James and Davis Under, many expiring veterans regard the Lakers as the first choice of the offseason. Experienced veterans like Teague and Millsap are also a good addition to the Lakers. These players can well take on the tasks of the Lakers in the regular phase. In the playoffs, the Lakers can use Zhanmei more calmly. combination.
salary space is indeed the biggest problem the Lakers face off this season, but I believe that with the huge attraction of James and Los Angeles, many players are willing to regard the Lakers as their potential next home. Many Lakers fans are also looking forward to the arrival of the team signings after the free market opens.
