Officially refused to renew the contract! 5 years of $240 million, the Lakers were panicked!

The Los Angeles Lakers have no presence at this year's NBA Draft and have been repeatedly defeated.

The Lakers do not have a first-round draft pick this year. They only have a 55th overall pick in the second round, so they cannot choose any good players. There is no way, the Lakers can only try to trade draft picks up, hoping to find some treasures. To achieve this wish, the Lakers traded upward to get the draft pick with the 45th overall pick in the second round, targeting Creton Center Ryan Calke Brenner.

But unexpectedly, the Charlotte Hornets intercepted the ruthless, and they chose Calc Brenner in the 34th overall pick in the second round. As a result, the Lakers panicked again. They quickly continued to trade the draft picks up, using the 45th overall pick in the second round plus some cash, and traded with the Minnesota Timberwolves to get the 36th overall pick in the second round.

Using this draft pick, the Lakers selected 203 cm tall forward swingman Adu Tiero.

The Lakers already have star-level forwards like James and Doncic, so why should they choose a forward? Because the Lakers' forward line may disintegrate. According to reports, Lakers' wing defensive champion Finney Smith is expected to jump out of the contract and become a complete free agent.

Finney Smith has a $15.4 million player option next season, but he refuses to execute, wanting more annual salary. The Lakers hope to keep Finney Smith, but the latter is 32 years old and it is difficult to satisfy if they want to have a long date for many years.

In addition, Reeves, the third leader of the Lakers, also officially announced that he would refuse to renew his contract. He did not want a 4-year offer of $89.2 million. Reeves has a third year of contract next season, but next summer you can choose to jump out of the contract early and enter the free agent market.

Reeves' goal is $240 million in five years, but it is indeed a bit expensive for players of this level to match such a contract. The Lakers don't want to give it to them. The best way is to trade Reeves.
