Congratulations to the Lakers! The dream forward appears, he is a combination of Vanderbilt and Hachimura

After the All-Star season 24-25, the Lakers averaged 43.3 points per game on the front line, only better than the Hornets, Jazz and Nuggets during the same period.
Speaking of this, we have to mention the walker. The reason why the 24-25 season almost won the championship is that the strong forward group - Siakam, Toppin, Matherine, and Nesmith are very similar to the peak Warriors. To be precise, Durant's singles stand up, Clay's stable end, Iguodala's defense, and Green controls the rhythm.
As for the Lakers' forward line in the new season, James's problem lies in age, Hachimura's problem lies in defense, Vanderbilt's problem lies in offense, and Laravia and Kneckett's two young men are in attitude.
Everyone has different problems, so Doncic needs to connect them well - to play to their strengths and avoid exposure of shortcomings. Of course, there are better solutions - transactions. For the forward line that the Lakers dream of, they can be roughly divided into three categories:
, such as Bridges, Anunobi, etc.
Whether in the Suns, Nets, Raptors, or Knicks, they have long been proven to be a front line that is both offensive and defensive. The ability to adapt and adapt, and the attendance rate is also very high. But the asking price is also very high. If you take a step back, the Knicks will not trade even if they are in the championship cycle.
, selected Trey Murphy, Kamala, etc.
To be precise, either the former has hidden dangers of injury, or the latter is in the rising period. In short, there is the element of "gambling". However, considering that the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers are rebuilding the team, as long as they are willing to spend their chips, they will not be able to trade like Bridges.
In fact, it was previously revealed that the Pelicans boss has acquiesced to the new general manager Dumas to trade the team. Select Brooks, Wiggins, etc. under
.
To be precise, there were too many highlights but due to age and injuries, they began to decline. Take Brooks as an example.
22-23 season with Derek White, Dream Chasing Green, Anunobi and Adebayo were selected as the Best Second Defense of the Year. More importantly, under the leadership of him, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Morant, the Grizzlies were a strong team in the West at that time.
As for Wiggins, the 22nd season playoffs were the highest light in his career - the offensive end was not inferior to Curry, and the defensive end led Doncic and Tatum had excellent results.
Of course, when it comes to trading, we need to look at the Lakers' bargaining chips.
By the way, even if Pelinka is willing to leave Reeves, she cannot get Bridges or Anunobi. After all, the Knicks are in the championship cycle. However, Murphy or Kamala have great hope, it depends on whether Pelinka dares to "gamble".
Of course, it is unlikely that Reeves will be traded at this stage.
In this way, Brooks, Wiggins, etc., are the first choice or dream of forwards in my opinion.
Reason 1: Price. Compared to Bridges, Murphy and others, the price will be much lower, and you don’t even have to pay Reeves.
Reason 2: Features. Just Wiggins, even though it declined from the 22nd quarter, it was a combination of Vanderbilt and Hachimura. I mean, it has the defense that is not inferior to the former and the offensive ability of the latter.
This is a bit of Rose's déjà vu.
The contract with the Timberwolves in the summer of 2020 expired. When we retired due to injuries, Clarkson and Ingles, who were second only to the Jazz in the 20-21 season, with averaging 14.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game. In short, will a talented player prove that "a lean camel is bigger than a horse."
Back to Wiggins, according to the NBA China official website, the Heat are willing to listen to Wiggins' offer, and the Bucks and other teams are interested.
Congratulations to the Lakers, the dream forward line appears and is ready to trade. In fact, in my opinion, Pelinka is also very likely to trade the former.
Reason: Attitude. Note that the Heat took the initiative to trade, and the potential is not as big as the Lion is asked. In addition, Hachimura's expiration contract + certain combat power is also attractive.
Finally, I expect Pelinka to get Wiggins by taking Hachimura as the main body and adding the second round.
