God helps the Lakers! Top 3D appears, then Pelinka can give up Reeves

According to the NBA China official website, the Lakers believe that Reeves can get an annual salary of more than 30 million yuan, and said that he is better than Hero and Quickley.

From this news, we can draw one thing: Pelinka is willing to renew Reeves' contract, even if she has an annual salary of 30 million.

In fact, this is not bad in my opinion.

Explanation point 1: James.

No matter how powerful the new season is, Pelinka will no longer provide him with a contract. In other words, there is basically a breakup between the two sides in the morning.

Breakup means that the team has lost one point to hold the ball.

We can see that the Celtics include Tatum and Jaylen Brown; the Nuggets include Jokic and Murray; the Rockets include Durant and VanVleet; the Knicks include Brunson and Bridges.

In other words, any team that has the possibility of winning has at least two ball-holding points. Doncic, don’t the Lakers want to win the championship? That is impossible.

Explanation point 2: Reeves holds the ball.

1. Embodied in the series:

has received a total of 421 assists in the 24-25 season, and there are many superstars like Curry and Edwards behind them. The difference is short of the best. The assist-and-turnover ratio of 2.38 can only be a fairly average, but from another perspective, there is still a possibility of progress overall.

2, reflected in holding shots:

The total breakthrough of 775 breakthroughs this season has formed 330 shots and a shooting rate of 51.8%. In terms of breakthrough and ending efficiency, it is roughly the same as Booker and Mitchell. In fact, Reeves scored 507 points using his breakthrough, accounting for 34.3% of his overall score.

In other words, investing is Reeves' main ending method and is very efficient.

To sum up the two points, when the Lakers and James break up, Reeves can become the second foreign team to hold the ball.

Of course, in addition to renewing the contract, there is another way for Pelinka - to trade at the right time.

It should be noted that regardless of the average of 20+ data per game or the ability to hold the ball, Reeves is close to the All-Star level at this stage. Potentially, I will definitely not easily change some "cats and dogs".

For this, I think there are generally three ways of thinking.

First, trade upward to exchange for stars. If there is an Antetokounmpo who is likely to leave the team, the Lakers will directly complete the "rebuilding" and become the biggest favorite to win the championship.

Second, exchange for some potential stocks. Such as Murphy of the Pelicans and Avdia of the Trail Blazers. To be precise, the former has clear 3D features and the latter is an all-round forward. Compared with Reeves' strong offense and weak defense, although the two cannot reach Reeves' team importance in the short term, they will definitely surpass the former in the long run.

Third, replace the proven functional player. Like Derek White of the Celtics.

First of all, both the Spurs and the Celtics showed very good "3D" characteristics. To put it more, no matter whether it is three-pointers or defense, they are the top players in the league. Take defense as an example. For two consecutive seasons, Anunobi, Adebayo, Holiday and others were selected for the second defense of the year for two consecutive seasons.

Secondly, I have proved myself in the playoffs and even the finals.

23-24 playoffs, when White was on the court, the Celtics ranked first in the team; when he was not on the court, the team won 7.9 points in the 100 rounds, only higher than Horford's 7.4 points.

Obviously, the Celtics can win the 18th championship in the team history, and White's role is no less than that of "Double Tanhua".

For the Lakers, White-type players can greatly make up for Doncic's shortcomings on the defensive end. In addition, top three-pointers on the offensive end can also play a role in restraining the defenders from opening up space.

Speaking of this, what needs to be explained about White is that according to the Boston Global Times, due to the "second tyrant line", the Celtics are willing to trade Derek White.

For this, I think Pelinka can give up Reeves. To be precise, trade White with him as the main body.

Reason 1: That is, combat power. Regardless of data, role, honor, etc., White is a top 3D that is as famous as Bridges, Anunobi and others.

Reason 2: Possibility of reaching a deal. Considering that the Celtics took the initiative to seek a deal, it can be said that Pelinka is still very likely to reach a deal. After all, Reeves waited for the expiration contract to help the other party release his salary space.

Reason 3: Meet the conditions for giving up Reeves. It is true that White is not a superstar or a potential stock, but he is actually a top supporter. What's more important is that he has proven himself in the playoffs.

To sum up, I hope Pelinka can seize the opportunity and complete the upgrade from Reeves to White.
