89.2 million US dollars in 4 years, I can t keep it anymore. The Lakers trade to strengthen the inside line, which is the best choice

In the offseason this summer, the Los Angeles Lakers must have big moves and big moves to strengthen, because Doncic has made it clear that he hopes the team has a powerful center who can help the team win the championship. Doncic joins the Lakers, the most important goal is to win and win the championship. Although LeBron James is 40 years old, he still has the power to play, and the average number of 24+8+8 per game per game is the best example. Many Lakers fans hope that James and Doncic can join forces to win the championship for the Lakers at the end of their career. If the Lakers do not change their lineup and only strengthen their lineup through signing this summer offseason, they will get a limited number of players. Because the Lakers don’t have much salary space, core members such as James and Reeves need to renew their contracts (it is not ruled out that James has reduced his salary and renewed his contracts to increase the team’s salary space). However, Lakers media Silver Screen and Roll reported that team guard Austin Reeves' next contract will earn more than $30 million annually. In the summer of 2023, Reeves renewed the Lakers with a 4-year, 56 million early bird maximum salary contract, with the fourth year being the player option.

According to Ricardo Sandoval, the Lakers will be able to provide Reeves with a contract renewal of $89.2 million this summer during the offseason, but Reeves is expected to refuse to renew the contract (reported previously confirmed). Because, Reeves wanted to jump out of the contract and seek a higher salary contract. Now the NBA league has a super maximum salary, and many players' salaries are getting higher and higher. Reeves has played data and strength in the Lakers. He also wants to get a contract worth hundreds of millions of dollars with good data, but the Lakers cannot give it this summer offseason.

Many Lakers fans say that Reeves is a good player with an annual salary of 30 million yuan, which is reasonable, but he is not suitable for the current Lakers. Doncic has poor defense and he is also poor. The two of them have partnered and they are really not defending on the court. Reeves didn't play well this year's playoffs, his data and efficiency were not as good as the regular season, and the key goals were unreliable. The Lakers can't keep him this summer, so it's best for the Lakers to trade during the offseason, at least for both sides, it's a good thing. The Lakers can get better inside players by trading Reeves. Reeves can also get bigger contracts when they go to other teams to swipe data.

US media ESPN experts wrote an article that the Lakers can use Reeves and Vincent as bargaining chips this summer offseason (the Lakers also have 2 first-round picks to trade) to trade inside players such as Kessler or Pelter. Kessler is now a blue-collar center, stronger than Gobert. He averages 11.2 points + 12.2 rebounds + 1.7 assists + 0.6 steals + 2.4 blocks per game. He is fifth in the rebounding ability in the league and second in the league in defensive blocking ability, second only to Wenban Yama. Peartel averaged 14.5 points + 9.6 rebounds + 2.8 assists + 1.2 steals + 1.2 blocks per game, and his strength is also very good.

The Lakers must trade and sign a powerful center in the offseason this summer, otherwise Doncic's requirements will not meet, and Pelinka will definitely not be able to deal with it. In addition, the Lakers are also interested in pursuing Melton (3D forward guard swinger), which is a very correct direction to strengthen. Doncic and James need players with three-pointers and defense, and it is best to be players who can play without the ball 3D. Vincent, the Lakers should give up. His three-pointers are not accurate in the regular season and playoffs, and they have an annual salary of more than 10 million yuan. It is okay to trade him for a better pitcher or defensive player.
