With the opening of the NBA free market, the reinforcement work of each team has already begun. The Rockets are the most active, with 12 consecutive operations, which directly made them the biggest winners in the offseason. If the Rockets have the capital to sign, the Lakers don’t have much room for operation, let’s see how the Nuggets operate. After Porter Jr. sent it out, although it seems that there are only two simple signings, the team’s offensive and defensive system was instantly activated. Therefore, it is not that the Lakers cannot trade, but that the Lakers are currently adhering to a principle, both want and want. Can't the Lakers strengthen? Of course not. Let's give the simplest example. The Lakers made a major mistake in Finney Smith's trade. In order to get him, the Lakers gave Russell and three second-round picks. After only half a year of use, they were intercepted by the Rockets. Don't Smith want to stay with the Lakers? Of course not, because he did not receive the respect he deserved in the Lakers. In order to maintain the flexibility of future salary space, the Lakers are only willing to give out a two-year contract. The Rockets will take action for 4 years. How would you choose? Don't forget that he is 32 years old. With such a stingy performance, it is really hard to imagine that this was the former top giant team.

Why do the Lakers want both and want them? In fact, there is not no way for the Lakers to strengthen. The author thinks that anyone except Doncic can become the target of the transaction. Since Doncic has been determined, why do you still have to consider so much? The Lakers now give people the feeling that they want to leave enough space for the 2027 season, and also want to squeeze out James' final value. This situation has put the Lakers in an embarrassing situation. In the current Lakers lineup, there are 7 players with annual salary of tens of millions, and there is no way to trade the Lakers. After changing the boss, James is no longer a darling, and the team's management will not consider James's feelings.

Speaking of trading, who can become the right bargaining chip in the Lakers' lineup? It must be Reeves and James, but the management is reluctant to let go of Reeves' cheap contract, and even more so the commercial value brought by James. In this difficult situation, the Lakers have no moves, which is the consequence of both demand and demand.

Why does James execute the player options for next season? In fact, he wants to continue to compete for the championship in the last stage of his career. He doesn't want to bind himself to the current Lakers. Some people think this will be James' last season, but the author does not think so. Even at the age of 40, James can still play 20+ per game. This means that James' ability has not declined, and he can still contribute his strength. What is certain is that if the Lakers do not move, this is definitely the last season of James' career in the Lakers.

James now does not care about how much money he has made, but is more concerned about whether he can win the championship and achieve a perfect retirement. The current Lakers are no longer suitable for the Lakers, Thunder, Rockets, Nuggets, and Mavericks, which team can deal with? The competition in the West is too great, but the East is the most suitable for James, and the best choice must be the Cavaliers. If it weren't for the impact of injuries, the Cavaliers might have gone further, and James returned to his hometown team to retire, which is the biggest topic.

Finally, let’s talk about Ayton. Everyone said that after the major insiders were renewed, the only choice for the Lakers was Ayton. But I would like to ask, can the current Lakers lineup really be solved by just a center? Just imagine who will defend a lineup like James, Reeves, Doncic, and Ayton. This is the biggest loophole.

If you were James, what would you choose? The Lakers are not suitable for them, and the competition in the West is too great, so returning to the Cavaliers can only be James' last choice. What do you think? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
