After James left the team, the second leader of the Lakers! The average salary is over 30 million. Famous reporter: The team should consider trading

September 18, according to Lakers reporter Ryan Ward today, the Lakers will hold media day activities in the early morning of the 30th, then start training camps, and start preseason games on October 4th. The long offseason is finally coming to an end. I believe that this is what many fans and friends are looking forward to. Everyone is looking forward to the results that the Lakers can achieve in the new season and whether James will join other teams after the end of this season.

The Lakers did not renew James' contract during the offseason. They did this because they were worried that James would lose his peak. The team gave him a big contract, which was a loss. After all, the team will form a championship team around Doncic in the future. The team plans to introduce suitable stars in the 27-year offseason. Jokic, Antetokounmpo and Curry will be free agents this offseason. So if James leaves the team in the offseason in the 26-27 season, what will the Lakers do in the 26-27 season?

According to normal operating logic, they may try to introduce some expired contracts to make sufficient salary space for 27 years. In addition, they will try their best to retain the appropriate puzzle. If James leaves the team, the second leader of the team will be Reeves. After all, in terms of ability, Reeves is the strongest scoring point for the Lakers except Zhan Dong. The Lakers have always expected him very much, but Xiaoli may choose to jump out of the contract tomorrow.

He still has a one-year contract of 14.9 million in the 26-year offseason. Previously, it was reported that Reeves rejected the Lakers' 80 million contract extension. He wanted to break out of the contract in the 26-year offseason and sign a maximum salary contract with the team. Today, the Lakers' reporter Anthony reported this. He said: Reeves' next contract is expected to require a contract with an annual salary of more than 35 million, and the Spurs are one of the teams that are most interested in him.

He said: Reeves may reject the player option contract after the end of next season and receive a contract with an annual salary of between $30 and $35 million. If Reeves jumps to the contract, he will be an unrestricted free agent and will receive the attention of many teams. League sources said the Spurs and other teams are closely watching Reeves' actions. To be honest, Xiaoli's ability must be many teams that he is interested in.

But to be honest, his contract with over 30 million is indeed too expensive. Xiaoli averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game last season, and his shooting percentage was 46%. Just looking at the data, he is indeed a contract worth such a large amount. After all, he is the third leader of a team, and he can still play such data. But fans familiar with Xiaoli know that this is really strong in the regular season, with a high ball quotient, and has good ball handling ability.

But in the playoffs, he will become an ATM. He wants to make a foul, but he has no comments. He is also named by his opponent because of his weak body on the defensive end. Last season, he averaged 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the playoffs, and his shooting percentage dropped to 41%, and his three-point shooting was only 32%. He has a role to the team, but it is not very helpful in tough battles. If you give him an annual salary of 30 million, you will regret it. If you don’t give it, the team will not be able to keep him.

Anthony also expressed his opinion on this matter, saying: Given that the Lakers may lose Reeves for free tomorrow summer, it would be too dereliction of duty if they do not consider trading Reeves, especially if it is obvious that Reeves and Doncic's athleticism problems are difficult to overcome in the pursuit of the championship. To be honest, this is difficult to overcome. This is a disadvantage brought by talent, and you cannot expect it to be compensated for the day after tomorrow.

Anthony also said: The Lakers quickly terminated any negotiations about Reeves this summer, and the Lakers have no idea to trade him yet unless Reeves really becomes part of the trading star, but that does not stop other teams from asking him about it this season, and considering the issue of Doncic and Reeves combination, the Lakers will have to take these requests more seriously. One thing is said is indeed the transaction.

For the Lakers system, Reeves and Doncic obviously have nothing to do with him. Doncic needs a backcourt player who can lead the defense to cover up his defensive shortcomings. This is also the reason why the team won Smart in the offseason. I believe they already have the idea of ​​letting Smart partner Doncic partner in the future. In addition, Reeves will continue to play in the Lakers, which will only make his value lower and lower. After all, the problem has been exposed now and will be infinitely magnified in the playoffs in the future.

If you join the Spurs, I think it is a good choice. After all, the Spurs have a Wen team, and Xiaoli's lack of defense ability can be covered up. Wen team is a defensive system that can support one person. Vassel's defense is not much better than Reeves, but when he works with Wen team, the Spurs' defensive efficiency is at the forefront of the league, and Xiaoli can become a demon knife around Wen team to help the team win. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Lakers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
