On November 15th, the betting website announced the odds of DeRozan joining the Lakers. If you join 100, you will pay 400, and if you don’t join 700, you will pay 100. In other words, in the eyes of the betting website, DeRozan is likely to join the Lakers by 20%-25%. .
There are two main difficulties for DeRozan to join the Lakers. If DeRozan executes the 27.74 million contract, the Lakers will not be able to balance his contract even with Green, Kuzma, Bradley and others. The Lakers need DeRozan. Zan jumped out of the contract and signed a two-year 40 million contract with the Spurs before using Green and other chips to make a deal. Another difficulty in this trade is that even if DeRozan is willing to cut his salary and the Lakers trade with Green, Kuzma, Bradley and the No. 28 pick this year, the Spurs will dislike the Lakers’ poor bargaining chips unless the Lakers are trading. Put in Caruso, the Spurs will trade with the Lakers.
is so difficult for the Lakers to get DeRozan, and his possibility of joining the Lakers is much lower than that of not joining the Lakers.
can’t get DeRozan and the Lakers are not idle. Now one of the Lakers’ biggest competitors, the Nets is very active in the trading market. They hope to use Dinwiddie, LeVille, Allen and other trades to get the third giant. Netting one of Bill, Gobert, Holiday and others will become the Lakers' biggest threat.
The Lakers can’t wait for the Nets’ aggressive offensive. They need a deal to improve the team’s strength. The Lakers’ bargaining chip is Green’s 15.31 million expiring contract, as well as the No. 28 pick this year and may also join Kuzma. Waiting for the players, but to be honest, the Lakers’ chips are not very attractive, but the Lakers can use these chips to trade across the league. There will always be teams and the Lakers to make deals. Now Kuzma may also be placed in the Lakers’ future trades. The Lakers are now testing the value of Kuzma’s spending and are willing to renew his contract, but the Lakers’ management also has different opinions on whether to renew the contract with Kuzma. Based on the value of Kuzma, he is only worth 6 million at most. Zima wants to ask for a ten million contract and will naturally be unable to negotiate with the Lakers.
If the Lakers can't renew Kuzma, they will try to trade him and put him in the Green + draft pick trade, which is equivalent to increasing the weight of the Lakers' chips and allowing the Lakers to switch to a more favorite player.
To be honest, the bargaining value of the Lakers' bargaining chip trading with Green's expiring contract is not very valuable. The most critical Lakers' No. 28 pick is worthless, so it is very difficult for the Lakers to change to their favorite player.
But if the Lakers put Caruso in the trade, they can get good players, but Caruso is not for sale. If the Lakers trade Caruso, it is difficult to find players to replace Caruso. The Lakers Originally interested in Teague, but the Hawks tend to sign Teague first and then change, which will exceed the Lakers' budget, and it may be difficult for the Lakers to get Teague.
Caruso is going to stay, so even if Green can change throughout the league, it will be difficult for him to get satisfactory players for the Lakers. The Lakers want to increase their strength in the new season and can only count on those veterans who want to win the championship to join. Xiaojia has already said that he is going to win the team, which is a good opportunity for the Lakers.
