The Lakers centers choose one of three! Each has its own problems, how should Pelinka make a decision?

With the Lakers being swept by the Timberwolves 4-1, it has become a fact that Hayes is unable to take on a big responsibility. He averaged only 1.8 points, 2 rebounds and 0.3 blocks per game in the playoffs. His ability to eat cake and protect the franchise cannot adapt to the intensity of the playoffs!

After all, the annual salary is only 2.46 million US dollars, so we can't really treat him as a strong eyebrows, the price is proportional to the score!

Pellinka is not without action in the pursuit of center. Originally, Hornets' center Mark Williams was highly expected by fans, but the physical examination has not passed, and the reinforcement has ended before it even started!

Faced with the continuous increase in the inside points lost, the Timberwolves were beaten to the inside in the first round of the playoffs. Gobert G5, who was nicknamed Doncic's "big toy", scored an epic data of 27 points and 24 rebounds!

The Lakers' imperative to strengthen the inside!

According to US media reports, the Lakers have turned their attention to these three players, namely the Pacers' Turner, the Rockets' Adams and the Bucks' Lopez!

However, Turner Lakers basically don't have to think about it. The Pacers plan to renew their contract with 120 million yuan for 4 years. They average 15.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game in the playoffs. It is a true championship puzzle. The Pacers have regarded it as a non-sale item!

Even if you can trade, the Pacers will also raise prices. Who makes you lack centers? Eighty percent of them will be replaced by Hachimura + Knector + the first round of 2031, but I guess Pelinka won’t do this kind of loss-making business!

The most important thing is that if Turner joins the Lakers, he will trigger a hard salary cap and will be basically locked in the future!

Lopez, who played for the Lakers in 17-18, was eventually scored a bargain by the Bucks for $3.4 million, averaging 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game this season. This season's block count (148) is second only to Wenban Yama (176)!

However, it is too old, its defensive pace is slow, and its movement speed has also declined. Its contract of $23 million expires is easier to operate than Turner, but it is contrary to the Lakers' development strategy, and the possibility of trading is not high!

Finally, Adams, although his glass attributes are gambled (he only played 58 regular season games with the Rockets this season and missed the entire 23-24 season due to knee grabbing), he is currently the most reliable candidate for the Lakers!

Although his regular season performance was average, averaging 3.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game, his true shooting percentage (54.1%) also tied the lowest career record in the rookie season! But the playoffs have become the core pillar of the Rockets' inside line!

First of all, the playing time increased to 22.1 minutes per game, especially in the first round of G6 matchup with the Warriors, which scored a season-high 17 points, averaged 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game. The quality of the pick-and-roll is even less obvious, perfectly adapting to Doncic's ball-holding system.

The most important thing is that he is cheap, with a $12.6 million expiration contract, and the Lakers only need to give Vincent + Kroko + second round pick to match.

The Lakers actually don't have many cards to play. In the first round of 31 years, the expiration contracts of Knector, Rivers and Hachimura Leaf, who were the No. 17 picks, if Soha trades Turner, it will be even more difficult to strengthen it later!
