48-hour countdown? Pelinka hits a magical move, the Lakers are about to sign Brogdon

8:10pm, 8 July 2025【Basketball】

Last season, the Los Angeles Lakers, which are loved and paid attention to by fans, gave Anthony Davis, Christie, and a future first-round pick to win Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks.

It is precisely because of the arrival of European Magicians that the Lakers' upper limit has become much higher. Therefore, we can see that with the joint promotion of Doncic, James and Reeves, the Los Angeles Lakers became a competitive team, winning the best players along the way and defeating strong enemies repeatedly. In the end, they directly advanced to the playoffs with the third place in the West.

Unexpectedly, when they met the Minnesota Timberwolves, the sixth in the West, they were beaten unresistible by their opponents; especially in the inside, Hays and Ryan were limited in strength and could not limit the opponent's impact at all, nor could they stop Reed, Randall and Gobert from setting milestones. After many fierce battles, the Lakers were completely beaten on both offense and defense, and they could only stop in the first round of the playoffs. After the season ended, Pelinka promised to build a competitive new team. The Lakers really took action. They chose the talented Thiero in the draft, and then signed Laravic and Ayton, and completed the contract renewal with Hayes.

According to Lakers reporter Dan Woike, sources told TA that Pelinka has been active in the free market and that the Lakers are about to sign Brogdon. It is reported that the Purple Gold Legion gave a minimum salary for veterans.

Although he is no longer as brave as he used to and is prone to injury, Brogden is still an excellent player; he not only has the ability to hold the ball, optimizes the offensive starting efficiency, but also has an excellent three-pointer; and, 1.96 meters tall and 103 kilograms of weight, he can easily defend the No. 1 to 3 positions, improving the intensity of the Lakers' back line.
