The Lakers center market is in a deadlock! Analysis of the three major reasons, is it difficult for the Donghuang combination to continue its miracle?

The free market opened this summer has made all teams busy strengthening their lineups, especially the frequent and eye-catching movements of the Bucks, Nuggets and Rockets. In just two days, they not only completed a significant upgrade from starting to substitute, but also successfully dealt with some heavy contract burdens. However, in contrast, the Lakers have almost no substantial moves except signing Laravia, especially the center position has been in a state of no recovery. The previously intentional targets such as Capela, Lopez, and Nans were snatched away by other teams, resulting in the Lakers almost no suitable choice in the lively center market. Some media even began to joke, questioning whether the Lakers did not realize that the free market had begun. If the Lakers ultimately cannot get Ayton, they will face greater difficulties.

Although there are rumors that the Lakers are turning their attention to 2027, this seems to be just a comforting word. Knowing that James has executed his own player options may mean he is sprinting to the peak of his career in his final year. Doncic trains hard during the offseason to lose weight and prepares to prove himself next season. At this time, the Lakers told them to wait and wait for another two years before fighting. Do you think James and Doncic will be happy? If the Lakers really plan to make the next season bad, it may lead to James making a deal request, and Doncic will no longer renew his contract, which will cause the Donghuang combination, which has only been half a year, to fall apart.

So, why are other teams actively strengthening while the Lakers are doing nothing? There are three main reasons. First of all, the Lakers' management's performance is really bad, and Pelinka's ability is worrying. Some media said that Pelinka's past operations were simply disasters, whether it was letting Caruso, Pope or trading Westbrook, it had a devastating impact on the Lakers. Neither Davis nor Doncic were the deals promoted by Pelinka. Davis was because James called to come to the Lakers, while Doncic took the initiative to come to Pelinka, showing that Pelinka lacked the initiative. Second, trading Davis has an impact on the team beyond imagination. Although the NBA is a commercial athletic, the connection between players is becoming increasingly close now, and there is more cooperation and communication outside the game. Although the Lakers traded a thick eyebrows to enhance their future prospects, they also broke the relationship between loyalty and humanity. When Davis took the initiative to join and assisted the team in the low of the Lakers, he played silently for the team for many years, but was looking forward to a center partner, but was sold by the Lakers. Will there really be players willing to play with such a cold management attitude? Finally, the Lakers' management's arrogance became the biggest obstacle. NBA players prefer "humanity" when choosing a team. The Lakers' management's arbitrary behavior even disregards the opinions of James, Davis and Doncic, which makes it difficult for players to accept. If the corporate culture remains unchanged, even if you are in Los Angeles, the Lakers' attractiveness to free agents will be greatly reduced.

In general, the Lakers need to fundamentally think and adjust their strategies, otherwise even in a place where the giants are, the problem of attracting players and retaining stars will continue.
