James is frustrated! The Lakers paid a heavy price to get Smart, just to satisfy Doncic

The Lakers paid a heavy price to satisfy Doncic! It also made James' heart cold. What happened? It's incredible!

According to US media reports, the Lakers have started very huge moves in order to get Smart. Because the Lakers' current salary space is not enough to sign Smart, although Smart's annual salary is only more than 5 million yuan. But even with such a low annual salary, the Lakers still have no room.

So the Lakers had to start laying off employees. They first laid off Milton, and then they had to lay off Goodwin, who the fans liked very much. Although the Lakers don't want to cut Goodwin, they have to make this decision in order to get Smart.

Then the question is! Why do the Lakers get Smart at all costs? In fact, the reason is very simple! There are several main reasons.

The first reason is that Smart is very strong. Although Smart has not played much in the past two years, the main reason is his injury. If he can stay healthy next season, I believe that Smart, who has won the best defensive player, will definitely bring considerable help to the Lakers.

The Lakers need Smart's greatest ability is his defense, which is exactly what the Lakers lack the most now! After all, the Lakers' starting lineup has too many defensive colanders. For example, Doncic and Reeves' defense are very bad, and James is not good at defending when he is old.

The second reason is Doncic. It is said that Doncic personally recruited Smart, and the Lakers will definitely attach great importance to Smart when they see this. After all, Doncic has not renewed his contract with the Lakers, which makes the Lakers very worried! So they will do their best to meet Doncic's requirements.

Not to mention cutting Milton and Goodwin, even if we need to cut James' son Brownie, I believe the Lakers will make a decision without hesitation. After all, Smart is the person Doncic wants. James is old and is about to retire. The Lakers no longer need to act according to his expression.

The reason why James jumped out of the player option was his helpless move. Because the Lakers did not provide him with a new contract extension, and James' identity cannot take the initiative to ask the Lakers to give him a contract, which will make him very embarrassed. Is this the reason?
