Lakers! Lose-lose trade!

After the Rockets were eliminated, major well-known American gambling websites quickly opened Jaylen Green's next odds. Among them, the Lakers ranked first in the league in odds, the Knicks ranked second, the Warriors, Clippers, and Heat tied for third, and later on the odds list were also a group of super strong teams such as the Celtics and the Thunder. It made people wonder: What do these teams want Jaylen Green to do?

What makes people feel even more outrageous is why did the Lakers reach the top of the odds list? First of all, the Lakers' existing core players James, Doncic and Reeves are all players who prefer to hold the ball. If you strengthen the defender, you must be a player with strong defensive ability, good at off-ball and stable three-point shooting. As for Green's scoring efficiency and defensive level...it's better if you don't mention it.

In addition, Lakers general manager Pelinka repeatedly emphasized that the entire goal of this year's offseason is to strengthen it with "James, Doncic and Reeves as the core, and thus achieve the ultimate goal of the Lakers championship." If you want to achieve this goal, the only possibility is to trade mature superstars. On the other hand, Green and mature are irrelevant.

Frankly speaking, it is better to expect Brownie to inherit his father's business and enter the regular rotation. In addition, Jaylen Green's current contract is really not cheap. In the summer of 2024, Jaylen Green and the Rockets renewed a three-year, 105 million super contract in advance. This contract has just begun to take effect this year, and the 2027-28 season is the player option.

Don't forget that the Lakers are still thinking about Reeves' contract renewal. At this time, another contract that is averaging 35 million yuan per game. What are the Lakers looking for? On the other hand, as a treasure who has been hidden in his hands for four years and has not been willing to trade, the Rockets management has high expectations for Jaylen Green, and what kind of chips can the Lakers take out for the Rockets?

Calculate carefully, not to mention that there are not many outstanding players who the Lakers use to equip their full salary, even the Rockets want the most high pick, the Lakers are even unable to show off. Although the Lakers are currently leading Jaylen Green's odds, it is obviously a loss-making deal. As for what will happen to both sides in the final offseason? Why not keep watching.
