Gobert joins hands with Dong Zhan to guess? The Lakers make up for the gap in the inside, and the Timberwolves have a stable "second leader"!

Although the Lakers have two superstars, Doncic and James, it is extremely difficult to win the championship, because the lineup has many shortcomings and the desire for the inside is well known. Gafford of the Mavericks and Kessler of the Jazz were both popular candidates for the Lakers. However, after the Timberwolves fell on the stage of the Western Conference Finals again, the Lakers had another excellent choice, which was Gobert with four DPOY halos. The

The trading conjecture plan is as follows:

Timberwolves - Reeves + Vincent + Cleber

Lakers - Gober + Minnot

The Timberwolves returned to the Western Conference Finals this season, relying on Gober's defense. Edwards, McDann, Walker, and Clark are all top defensive players. Losing to the Thunder was precisely the offensive end. To be precise, it was because there was no stable "second leader" around Edwards. Reeves happened to be able to play this role. In the 24-25 season, he averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists per game.

In addition, there is another reason, that is, trading Gobert can free up enough salary space to renew key rotation players such as Reed, Walker, and others. Some people may say that without Gobert, will the Timberwolves, like the Lakers without Davis, have instantly collapsed. What I want to say is that Gobert's defensive efficiency in the 24-25 season has been greatly reduced, and being selected for the best defensive second team is the best example.

The Timberwolves have Walker and Edwards in the backcourt, and Clark and McDan on the front line. The defensive pressure in the inside may be compensated by elastic defense. In the series with the Thunder, Gobert was DNP many times, and the Timberwolves' defense is enough to match the Thunder's defense.

Vincent is likely to become one of the Timberwolves' main rotation, with three points and good at defense.

For the Lakers, the most urgent problem to solve is the inside. After Davis was traded to the Mavericks, the Lakers' defensive system no longer exists. On the playoff stage, the Lakers' inside was completely abused. Although Gobert's defensive ability is no longer as good as the four-time DPOY period, it is always better than Hayes and others!

If Gobert can be successfully introduced, the Lakers' lineup for the 25-26 season will be Doncic + James + Smith + Hachimura + Gobert. Such a lineup will have certain competitiveness whether it is offensive or defensive.
