Doncic is eager to eat the cake center? Capela expects the mini middle class to join the Lakers!

According to Bleacher Report reporter Eric Pincus, the Lakers are expected to sign Clint Capela with a mini middle class contract.

This summer, the 31-year-old center will become a full free agent. So far this season, he has played 55 regular season games for the Hawks, averaging 21.4 minutes per game, scoring 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.9 blocks, and shooting percentage of 55.9%.

In fact, Cod personally believes that the biggest reason for the Lakers' failure in the playoffs is that their inside strength is too weak, and it's fine to be attacked by the Timberwolves forwards in turn, and even Gobert scored O'Neal-level data. Several forward players were forced to swing upwards, and while their defense was poor, they also consumed their physical fitness greatly, resulting in poor performance on the offensive end. Therefore, adding depth to the inside has become the top priority for the Lakers during the offseason.

Although Capela's strength has declined compared to his peak, he still has good abilities (at least much stronger than the Lakers' current inside line). What's more important is that he has rich playoff experience and his experience as a partner with Harden who is a big core player. I believe he can quickly run-in with Doncic and produce a good chemical reaction.

Overall, being able to sign Capela with a mini middle class is undoubtedly a powerful reinforcement for the current Lakers.
