Goodbye Reeves, these five Lakers may leave this summer? Pelinka spoke, 35 million wants to sign the No. 1 center

1-4, say goodbye regretfully, the Lakers seem to need change! Change means that there are changes in players. For this reason, the US media "fadeawa world" gave today the players that the Lakers may need to leave this summer, including the following 5 people.

One, Reeves! If we fans are allowed to choose, I must have watched the first round of the Timberwolves, and this call will naturally not be low. Its contract is $13.94 million next season, and it averages 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the playoffs, of which its three-point shooting percentage is only 31.9%.

As a role player, Reeves is naturally good, but as James grows older, the Lakers need another All-Star player to partner with Doncic. Reeves is highly expected and does play in the regular season.

However, in the playoffs, their offense and defense can only be described as embarrassing and heavy tasks. Furthermore, the players who may leave include DFS! Finney Smith is qualified as a functional player, but his salary next season is $15.38 million, just like the case with Hachimura.

In the first round of G5, Hachimura played quite well, but his salary next season was $18.26 million, which was inconsistent with his average of 13.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and poor defense. Vanderbilt and Vincent both had annual salaries of over 10 million US dollars, and the same was true for this.

How does Pelinka view the issue of changing the offseason? Just as fans expected after the game against the Timberwolves, the Lakers needed an inside line, and Pelinka said bluntly:

"The Lakers need center qualities, can pose offensive threats, are the ideal inside line who is good at empty cutting and good defensive end! Of course, there are many centers that are not good, and we will consider more and will not limit the type, but we must need a big man!"

To put it bluntly, Pelinka just hopes to introduce a center, the higher his ability, the better, but if it is not easy to choose, it can reduce the requirements, but this center must have!

Will the following trading plan from Andy Bailey from the US media "Bleacher Report"? It pointed out:

"When signing Andre Ayton for $35 million, the salary may exceed expectations, but it can spend less players and future draft picks!"

Combined with Pelinka's expectations for centers, Ayton, who has good basketball skills, meets the standards. He has a height and averages 14.4 points on the offensive end this season, and 10.2 rebounds and 1.0 blocks on the defensive end are not bad. The most important thing is that the potential needs to be stimulated.

Doncic can make Ayton perform better. In Andy Bailey's view, Luca's game style is suitable for a big man like Ayton, which can make Ayton play as valuable as Paul at that time and the effect is expected to be better.

Personal opinion:

Compared with Hachimura, DFS and Vanderbilt, Reeves and Vincent should indeed be sent away, because Doncic and James are the core of the ball holding the ball, the Lakers are not short of organizational and singles guards, and the key is to supplement the center and defensive forward line.
