The Lakers are targeting the four centers, the Rockets are chasing DFS with a 4-year contract, and the Kings may offer Schroeder 30 million?

The NBA offseason suddenly became lively; earlier, various teams showed their operations, and many teams including the Rockets, Clippers, Trail Blazers, Jazz, etc. all completed adjustments to varying degrees. What attracted the most attention was that Ayton and Trail Blazers reached a buyout, and the Lakers' subsequent center reinforcement targets have also been set; the Rockets targeted the reinforcement targets at Lakers players, and the Kings seemed to be exposed to have an intention to send 30 million contracts to chase Schroeder. Next, let’s take a look at the specific situation. The Lakers are targeting the four centers, the Rockets are chasing DFS with a four-year contract, and the Kings offer Schroder 30 million? The Kings are also looking for lineup adjustments, hoping to maintain their competitiveness in the new season. According to joint reports by famous reporters Marc Stein and Jake Fischer, several sources revealed that the Kings are widely believed to reach a signing agreement with Schroeder. Some people expect the contract to last for two years, with a total amount of $30 million, making him the team's starting point guard. Besides that, they have other goals.

In the past season, Schroeder has played for the Nets, Warriors and Pistons, playing a total of 75 games, averaging 13.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game. If they are willing to give such a contract, it is still very suitable to get Schroeder. Sources revealed that even if they can successfully sign Schroeder, they are still considering a veteran contract, such as Westbrook or Brogdon, to further supplement and adjust the lineup. The Rockets are definitely one of the most operating teams in the offseason and are also quite successful. For example, renewing the contract with Uduka prevents being poached by other teams, and retaining many core players in the team one after another. The most important thing is to stay with extremely high-quality contracts. For example, Van Vleet's salary cut reached 20 million, and the average salary for the new contract is only more than 20 million. They also got Durant at a very small price, which well supplemented the team's shortcomings. Earlier, they reported another five-year contract of 122 million, leaving behind a contract extension for Jabbarry Smith.

At the same time, they extended the 8 million insured contract of Landare to July 7. The team's new season's lineup can be said to be the main framework. Now they lack a player, a person with strong defensive ability and outside shooting, so they targeted the Lakers player Finney Smith, who had earlier rejected the player option. Famous reporter Stein said that after the Rockets completed multiple operations today, they can still use the full middle-class special case ($14.1 million) to bid for Finney Smith.

Stein said there are strong signs that the Rockets are preparing to offer a four-year contract, but the amount may be slightly lower than the full middle class. If you can get Finney Smith with such a contract, then for the Rockets' lineup, the last piece of the championship puzzle will be in place, and they will maintain the strength to attack the championship in the next two seasons; of course, the next thing will be to see whether they can get Finney Smith. The last one is about the Lakers. After Ayton reached a buyout agreement with the Trail Blazers, the most discussed outsiders was Ayton's whereabouts. Two of the teams attracted much attention, one was the Clippers and the other was the Lakers. Trail Blazers reporter Sean Highkin speculated that Ayton's buyout would leave the Trail Blazers with a full middle class (14.1 million) room to sign. Currently, both the Clippers and the Lakers have the salary space to sign Ayton. The relatively better thing about the Lakers is that they currently lack centers in the team, which can provide Ayton with the time and starting position he wants.

According to Shams Charania's subsequent reveal, Ayton is a potential target for the Lakers to strengthen the center position, and he is the same as Doncic's agent. At the same time, the Lakers have three other players to strengthen the inside, namely Daluo, Horford and Capela. Who do you think the Lakers can get in the interior reinforcement position? If they get Ayton, will they still be able to keep Finney Smith?
