US media advises the Lakers to strengthen! The three-party transaction exchanges center, making up for the weakest link, Dongzi gets what he wants

On May 18, the Lakers opened high and closed low this season, completing an epic deal in the regular season, coming from the Mavericks deal. The purpose of this deal is to want both the present and the future. Unfortunately, although the Lakers traded to Doncic and formed the three giants of James, Doncic and Rivers, the Lakers' lineup had obvious top-heavy problems, and the inside's franchise protection and rebounding became big problems. During the regular season, Redick also tried to cover up this problem with the Death Five Little Little and the Defence Replacement System, but in the playoffs, he found that this trick was not working. A basic center like Hayes was also abandoned, and the problem of the inside was completely exposed.

After entering the offseason early, the Lakers' goal of strengthening the lineup this summer is also obvious, and the primary goal is to complete the upgrade of the inside. Today, the US media Sports Illustrated recruited the Lakers to make a three-party deal to completely solve the lineup's shortcomings. The specific content of this transaction plan is: the Mavericks get Anthony Simmons, the Lakers get Gafford, the Trail Blazers get Claiber, Caleb Martin, Kneckett, Dwight Powell, and the Lakers are unprotected in 2029 (the Lakers give to the Mavericks during the Doncic trade), and the Mavericks' first round of 2031 picks and the 2030 first round of picks from the Lakers. We will first regardless of whether this transaction plan is worth the chips given by all parties to the transaction, and only discussing the needs and demands of each team, it is still a relatively reasonable plan.

First of all, let's look at the Mavericks. I'll draw the No. 1 pick this year. I will definitely choose Flag, a talented forward who is highly anticipated. At the same time, the Mavericks are now too bloated inside. The centers at the starting level of Thick Eyebrow, Lefly and Gafford are too luxurious, so it is imperative to streamline the inside. Thick eyebrows are definitely not a seller, and Lefly is younger, so Gafford, which is facing renewal, is likely to be traded. At the same time, considering that Irving's serious injury is reimbursed for the season, he will be injured in the first half of next season, so it is reasonable to trade a young backcourt star to make a transition. Therefore, for the Mavericks, the intention of this transaction is reasonable, it depends on whether he can take a fancy to Simmons.

For the Lakers, it is an indisputable fact that they want a center. It is a big regret that they failed to show off due to injury and trade. Now it is equivalent to using Kleber and Kneckett to get Gafford in the first round, which is a good upgrade. Kleber didn't plan to stay, and Kneckett had become a bargaining chip before. The Mavericks are equivalent to sending out Powell, Martin and two first-round picks for Simmons. The Trail Blazers are in a semi-reconstruction mode, and the backcourt is already very crowded, so it is reasonable to send Simmons away to try to cultivate other young people with more potential. From this point of view, this three-party transaction is considered to be necessary. What do you think? Whoever takes advantage of the three-party transaction plan will suffer? Welcome to discuss together, thank you.
