The Lakers won the championship is not the end, but just the beginning. In this offseason, Pelinka is ready to continue to provide support for James and Davis. The Lakers are not afraid to pay a luxury tax, and because they are Los Angeles, there are countless players who have a good impression of joining the Lakers.
The Lakers now also have a good candidate. According to Heavycom reporter Sean Deveney, the Lakers are very interested in Raptors inside Ibaka.
The offseason is really a headache for the Lakers, because after winning the championship. Some of the team’s immediate combat power and value skyrocketing have been targeted by the teams. For example, Howard and Rondo, everyone knows that the Clippers are the Lakers' deadly opponents, their strategy is not to grab their own suitable, grab the Lakers want.
Howard and Rondo have been targeted by the Clippers. The Clippers now just want a center and point guard. Although Rondo and Howard are old, the Clippers think they are good things.
In short, the Clippers will stop the Lakers at all costs and make them weaker. The Lakers can't help it. All they can do now is to wait for the free market to open. At the same time, the Lakers may have to trade players, Danny Green is in danger. Because Ibaka is a free agent, the Lakers can only sign with the Raptors before trading.
However, Danny Green sent a request to the Lakers in an interview before that he wanted to stay on the team. Of course, Danny Green is also ready to leave the team, but he hopes Pelinka can promise him and notify him in advance during the transaction.
just the Lakers did not respond. Tielin, who did not want to leave today, once again used the media to talk to the Lakers. He hoped the Lakers would not trade anyone. All the Lakers need to do is to keep the original team. The implication is that the Lakers don't need to leave if they don't trade Tielin.
Danny Green said: "We will not enter the isolated campus anymore, so next season I hope the Lakers management can retain the current core lineup. I hope everyone stays. I don’t care how the team operates to become stronger. Still healthy. I only hope that the team can keep 10 important players. Fine-tune the current lineup, because we can also win the championship again."
Finally, Green also promised that he will find the touch next season. This time, Green's performance in the playoffs was mediocre. Averaged 8+3, shooting only 35%. Green's salary is $30 million in two years. No wonder the Lakers fans are dissatisfied. Think that Green must be traded off this year's offseason.
can only say that Green's strength has dropped too much. In fact, Tielin declined significantly in the Spurs, and was also very strong in the regular season in the Raptors. The playoffs were played in the finals.
Green’s only advantage should be his luck. He won the Raptors and the Lakers. And Leonard without Green stopped in the second round. The teams that have won the championship in the past few years have Green. Perhaps the Lakers will think of this.
