Latest quote! Lakers and Pacers are expected to make 3-for-1 deals, and the 31-year-old center becomes the puzzle for the championship

The Lakers' record in the first half of the regular season was ups and downs. Before the trade ended, the Lakers completed an epic heavy trade. They exchanged Davis for Doncic. After Doncic came to the Lakers, he had a period of struggle and adaptation and slowly found his state. The Lakers' record also began to improve. Finally, they entered the playoffs as the third in the West. They faced the sixth-ranked Timberwolves in the playoffs, but the Lakers lost 1:4. In this way, the first year of the Zhan Dong combination ended in failure. The Lakers still need to upgrade to the team next season, otherwise there will be fewer and fewer opportunities left for James.

The main factor in the Lakers' defeat this season is the inside problem. After the Davis trades, it is difficult for the players in the team to take the banner. If you want to let the team go further next season, you must strengthen the lineup in the offseason. For this reason, the US media "FW" also advises the Lakers to try to discuss the possibility of a deal with the Pacers during the offseason and give specific chips. Let's take a look at the specific situation:

The Lakers send out Hachimura, Dalton Knecht, 2031 Myles Turner (sign first and then exchange) for the Pacers in the first round of the year, for the Lakers, the current situation can only be strengthened through trades to quickly improve their strength. So what about the players the team got in this trade? As a pitcher and an excellent frame guard, Turner can not only improve the thickness of the Lakers on the defensive end, but also create more opportunities for offensive space. His presence will undoubtedly make the Lakers' overall tactics more flexible, averaging 15.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game this season, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.6%. He has excellent shooting ability in protecting the basket and outside, and is adapted to the offensive system of James and Doncic. If he comes to the team, he will strengthen the team's weaknesses and make the Lakers more competitive next season.

For the Pacers, despite their outstanding performance this season, Turner will become a free agent due to his outstanding performance this season and the team's limited salary, he may not be able to meet Turner's requirements. In this case, in order to avoid too much loss, he can only sign and then exchange. So what if he gets chips in this transaction? Hachimura has outstanding physical conditions, diverse offensive skills, and fast dribbling speed. He is a very young forward player, averages 13.1 points, 5 rebounds, 1.4 assists per game, and shoots. The basket shooting percentage is 50.9% and the three-point shooting percentage is 41.3%. Dalton Knecht is an all-round offensive player with rich offensive skills, can complete mid-range shots, can break through and score points with the ball, can also turn over and jump shots after the confrontation or complete throws near the paint area. He is also a versatile defender. He can defend the No. 2 position to No. 3 position on the court, averaged 8.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 0.9 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 46.5%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%. In addition, he also got a good first-round pick, which is also conducive to the team's strengthening.

Overall, it is very good for both teams. So whether it can be finally reached is welcome to discuss in the comment section!
