Congratulations! The Lakers locked in two centers, James was selected for the second team, Zubac thanked Pelinka for the trade

In the 2024-2025 season, the Los Angeles Lakers, who had LeBron James and Reeves, traded Anthony Davis in the middle of the season in exchange for Luka Doncic, and worked hard for the whole season. Due to insufficient inside height, the Timberwolves led by Edwards and Gobert were beaten up and eliminated one-to-four, missing the championship. It should be emphasized that since they are eliminated, the Los Angeles Lakers quickly adjust their state and focus on the offseason. Currently, they are locked in two starting centers, one is Goverd and the other is Clarkston. General manager Pelinka is very interested in them, and Capela and Adams are alternatives. According to Lake News Jovan Buha, when he was a guest on a show, he said this when talking about the two centers that the Los Angeles Lakers are most likely to consider. The two most commonly heard names, one is Goverd and the other is Clarkston, they are considered the best center candidates in the market at present. For the former, the Mavericks have Lefley and Davis, and it is impossible to give a big contract. For the latter, the Nets are in reconstruction and have no top stars. This season, Gafford, who played for the Mavericks, averaged 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.4 steals per game. Clarkston, who played for the Nets, averaged 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game. It is worth mentioning that the NBA officially announced the list of selected for the 2024-2025 season for the roster, which is specifically like this, Brunson from the Knicks, Curry from the Golden State Warriors, Edwards from the Timberwolves, James from the Los Angeles Lakers, and Mobri from the Cavaliers. Seeing himself in the All-Squad, superstar LeBron James updated his social media and wrote. At the age of 40, I was selected for the Best Team again. At this moment, I was really happy. I was sitting at home watching the playoffs, full of this idea in my mind. This happiness was far beyond my imagination. In the 2024-2025 season, James averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1.0 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 51.3%. You should know that when Zubac was interviewed, he said about the Los Angeles Lakers. I believe that fans will regret it. On the streets of Los Angeles, you can hear this deal every day. Muscala exchanges for Zubac, this is the Lakers City. For me now, leaving Staples is not a bad thing. There are not many opportunities there, and the role they play is not important. On the contrary, being around Harden or the Clippers can be valued. I don’t know if Jenny Buss and Pelinka don’t regret it, but fans will definitely regret it. This season, Zubac, who plays for the Clippers, averaged 17.4 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game, and was selected as the second team of the best defensive team, which is well deserved. So as the Los Angeles Lakers locked in the two centers, they were very interested in Gafford and Clarkston. The purpose was to play the greatest role of Luka Doncic and get back the Mavericks' ability to feed cakes after pick-and-roll. James was selected for the Best Second Team, and at the age of 40, he was still stable and outstanding. Even Michael Jordan could not do it. It should be noted that Zubac thanked Pelinka and Jenny Buss for his kindness of being traded by the old owner. If it weren't for this, if he joined the Clippers, the former might not be able to make a name for himself now. After all, the others are not Harden.
