All-Star center is here to shoot! Congratulations to James!

As soon as the joint report between Stein and Ary came out, the circle of friends was furious - "Love is going to find James again."

The news sounds like a replay of the old script, but this time it is not a fan's imagination: the Jazz has already let go, and after completing the buyout process next week, Love will be able to leave with his bag, and the first person to dial out in his mobile address book is probably the big brother named Zhan.

Let's talk about the buyout first. After the Jazz sent Nian away, there were 16 people on the list, and it was meaningless to force a 36-year-old veteran;

Love simply voluntarily gave up 2.6 million from his annual salary of 4.15 million, and the two sides hit it off, saving taxes and redeeming the position.

The official announcement next week is almost certain, and fans only care about where he will go next stop - the answer has actually been written in Love's heart: Los Angeles, and it's best to be the Lakers.

This is not groundless. As early as the first day when Love was traded to the Cavaliers in 2014, he half-jokingly said, "I will go wherever James goes."

Later, James returned to the Cavaliers and then went to the Lakers. Love did not repeat this sentence again, but his body was very honest: every time James made an action, his agent team would always ask quietly, "Is there a lack of people in Los Angeles?"

It was finally the Lakers' turn to take the initiative to need him this year.

The Lakers are indeed short of people now. Although I took Ayton and Smart in one go, there was only one stable point in the fourth position. Once James rested or reached the point guard, the height of the frontcourt immediately collapsed.

Although Love only has 10 minutes of physical fitness, 37% of his career three-pointers are still online, and his rebounding sense is still there. He looks cold in 23 games in the regular season, but that was achieved in the Heat's 11 minutes per game, and it is still a double-double level in 36 minutes.

More importantly, he understands James' running position and the spotlight in Los Angeles - this kind of tacit understanding is hard to change.

Of course, if the Lakers want to sign, they have to settle the score first.

The hard salary cap is just above the head, and there is only 1.1 million left to the first tycoon line. If Love is willing to get the veteran's basic salary of 2.8 million, the Lakers have to lay off or send off the marginal contract to make room; the Clippers have only 1.2 million space left, which is also in a short position.

So don't rush to place an order to print your jersey, Pelinka has to use her brain to do the subtraction first.

But then again, Lovetus is not money at all.

Last year, he gave up the 2.6 million buyout fee and turned around and could go to New York to get 3.2 million, but he crossed New York off the list and focused on California.

36-year-old, his last attempt is naturally to do a big vote with the most familiar people, and he will also end up in front of his hometown - the storyline that the Lakers can provide is much more perfect than the Knicks.

Some people are worried that Love will be too slow and will be chased by the defender.

Don't forget that there are two big players named James and Doncic in the starting lineup. If there is one more Love, it's not much worse. On the contrary, the low-level top defense and position he has developed in the Cavaliers in those years is enough to deal with the short and strong four-position positions in the West.

When Hachimura was targeted in the playoffs, Love could still come up to win five goals in 5 minutes, allowing Ayton to take a breath - this is worth the ticket price.

As for sentiment, it is actually the most valuable but also the most touching.

Ten years ago, Love landed in Cleveland with the halo of "two-double machines", and together with James, he tore the 52-year curse to pieces; ten years later, his beard turned white, and he wanted to listen to the echo of "Cleveland, this is for you" again at the Staples Center.

fans just eat this: When Love stands in the bottom corner wearing a purple gold jersey, James can run to 45 degrees with just one look, and his hand rises and falls - the picture has not happened yet, and the hot search is reserved first.

So don't worry about data, space, and tax lines, those are all for the general manager to stay up late.

For Love, this is the last time he and his old teammates are standing side by side; for James, it is a decent destination for the old brothers; for fans, it is youth who fights back.

Buyout signature and clarification period pass. If Kevin Love's name really appears on the Lakers' roster, please don't be surprised - he said ten years ago that he wanted to hang out with James, but today it is just fulfilling his late promise.
