Famous speakers are suspected of winning the Lakers, and they bluntly say that they can win the championship by introducing qualified centers. 11+12 young players become the first choice?

After being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, the Lakers management obviously knew what the problem was. Of course, the competition in the West is really fierce. If you want to compete for the championship, in addition to having to upgrade to the inside, there are still many places to do. However, because the Lakers have too much traffic, there will naturally be media who deliberately raise them to gain more benefits.

As expected, famous speaker Alan Hahn expressed his opinion, but he was suspected of proclaiming the Lakers. When participating in the ESPN program, Alan Hahn said bluntly that as long as the Lakers introduce a qualified starting center, they can compete for the championship. This view is very important, because if the Lakers have strengthened their inside position this year, they will become the favorite to win the championship, which feels really hard to convince the people.

The Lakers' inside strength is definitely not good, but if you consider it from the perspective of competing for the championship, it may be more than this one. You should know that in terms of lineup depth, the Lakers are obviously not enough. In the series against the Timberwolves, there were even scenes where no one was replaced in the first half. Rather than blame head coach JJ Redick for his monotonous tactics, it is better to say that the Lakers' lineup is too poor and there is not much room for adjustment in the high-end game. For example, in terms of defensive engineers and 3D players, the Lakers' lineup reserves are seriously insufficient, and there is also a lack of surprises worth looking forward to on the bench.

There is another thing that cannot be ignored, that is, LeBron James has grown one year older in the new season. Even if his ability to maintain his condition is unique in the league history, there is a high probability that there will still be some declines in attendance, stability and endurance. Even other Lakers players don't look particularly young. For example, as the main rotation of the forward, Finney Smith, is already in his thirties, and his performance has continued to decline in recent seasons.

Of course, in the inside position, Jazz teenager Walker Kessler has become the first choice for Lakers to strengthen. According to relevant reports from the team reporter David McMillan, the Lakers like Walker Kessler very much and believe that the latter can perfectly make up for the inside vacancy. This season, Walker Kessler averaged 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and an amazing 2.4 blocks per game. The key is that he is not yet 24 years old, and even has one year left in the rookie contract. It has been a long time since the Lakers and Walker Kessler's affair, but there has never been an agreement last season. Considering that Walker Kessler is about to enter the contract year, the Jazz is naturally afraid of losing both people and money, so it is very likely that the two sides will restart cooperation negotiations.
