The goal is clear! The Nets and Mavericks choose 1 in 2? The Lakers are right to choose this

Whether at this stage or in the long run, the Lakers must strengthen this summer.

What are the chips of the Lakers? In terms of draft picks, it can be traded in the first round in 27 years (top 1-4 picks) and 31 years. In addition, the first round of swaps in 26, 28, 30 and 32 years can be traded. There are three second rounds, including 25 years.

players, basically Doncic and James can trade outside. Speaking of this, we have to mention Reeves.

Description point 1: Data. In the regular season, the data of 1475 points, 329 rebounds, 421 assists were not at all inferior to star guards such as Garland (1544 points, 214 rebounds, 506 assists).

Explanation point 2: Contract. Even if the contract is broken out in the summer of 26, there will be at least 14 million contracts per year.

To sum up two points, Reeves' trading value is relatively high, and it can even "leverage" star players to a certain extent. What is the preferred choice for the Lakers to strengthen?

I think it is the inside line.

First, at this stage. By June, the contracts of Hayes, Krock and Jamison will expire.

Second, long-term. Whether it is Jordan Jr. in the rookie season or Porzingis, Gafford, and Levley in the later stages, the best way to maximize Doncic's offensive power is to have an inside player who can play pick-and-roll.

At the same time, according to the NBA China official website, Clarkston and Gafford are the most commonly mentioned reinforcement targets of the Lakers.

Nets and Mavericks choose 1 in 2. In my opinion, the Lakers are right to choose this.

First, urgently needed. As I said just now, the inside line is something the Lakers urgently need to strengthen this summer. In addition, considering that the Mavericks are Leifly and the Nets are part of the reconstruction team. That said, the Lakers are very likely to get Clarkston or Gafford.

The second is combat power. In the regular season, Clarkston scored 209 times, ranked 16th in the league; created 493 points through covers, ranked 15th in the league. In addition, the pick-and-roll scored 130 points and ranked 26th in the league.

The defensive end interferes with the opponent's shooting 841 times, limiting the opponent's shooting rate from 49.8% to 48.9%, of which the shooting rate of less than 6 feet is limited from 64.3% to 59.7%.

In the defensive scene, he was limited to 7 of 16 shots with Antetokounmpo in 14 minutes and 35 seconds.

As for Gafford, it also has Clarkston's offensive cover, pick-and-roll down, and the ability to protect the basket on the defensive end, but its efficiency is worse than Clarkston.

To sum up two points, the Lakers are right to do this. We can understand that under the premise that we can trade, both Clarkston and Gafford will make a lot of filling the team's inside line. Now, it depends on whether the Lakers can trade to Clarkston or Gafford.
