Reeves refuses to renew his contract? It s not that Pelinka is the Lakers take the opportunity to lock in the inside of the star...

Reeves interfered with Timberwolves' shooting 97 times in the playoffs, and his opponent's shooting rate rose from 38.1% to 46.1%. In fact, defense is not Reeves' strength. In 280 games in his NBA career, the real positive and negative value of defense is -0.4, and there is no defensive deterrent power. It has a large extent the opponent "ATMs". What is

Reeves' strengths? It was obviously the offensive end, especially at the final end, with a 201 shots from the basket under the regular season, shooting 69.2%. In comparison, only Alexander (69.7%), Hart (70.7%) and Mikal Bridges have higher shooting rates than Reeves among the players in the same position and at least 200 shots. However, in the playoffs, the value of this event dropped sharply to 46.2%, and the ending method is still the corresponding ending method. The most important thing is that it is not like the regular season. The playoffs encourage physical confrontation. In front of the tall Timberwolves player, Reeves is completely at a disadvantage in terms of body shape, which is precisely because of the lack of ending efficiency, which brings the true shooting rate of this season's playoffs of only 53.2%, which means that he has played the worst season in his career so far.

Speaking of Reeves, as shown in the figure above, although there is still two years of contract, the 26-27 season is the player option, and it is highly likely that the contract will usher in this summer. So some media, including Los Angeles Times reporter Jowan Buha, believe that Reeves will reject the Lakers' four-year, 89.2 million early contract renewal this summer, so as to compete for a large contract of at least 200 million after becoming a full free agent next summer. Not to mention whether Reeves is worth 200 million. This is the biggest contract that the Lakers can offer if the rules allow. It is not surprising that the potential Reeves refuses to renew the contract. It is not that Pelinka doesn't want to give it, but that the rules do not allow it. Considering that Reeves is likely to jump out of the player options for the 26-27 season and refuse to renew his contract in advance, I think the Lakers might as well lock in Jaren Jackson Jr.

·First, the Grizzlies' potential reconstruction was swept by the Thunder 4:0. This is one of them. Secondly, let’s not talk about the constant troubles outside the court. Compared with Edwards, Cunningham and others from the same generation, Morant has gradually been further distanced. Combining these two points, it is possible to rebuild.

·Second, Reeves' transaction value. Reeves scored 1475 points, 329 rebounds and 421 assists in the regular season. Compared with Jaylen Brunson, 1690 points, 187 rebounds and 475 assists, Garland scored 1544 points, 214 rebounds and 506 assists. The subtext Reeves' data is close to the star level, and the transaction value brought by the transaction can touch some star-level players. Of course, the Lakers have to add first rounds to this end.

In summary, the Grizzlies have potential reconstruction, and the Lakers can use Reeves as the main body to try to trade Jaren Jackson Jr. In my opinion, the Purple and Gold Legion is very expected to get this star's inside player, and can also "beat" Reeves well. To put it bluntly, if the contract is not renewed, it will be regarded as a bargaining chip under the expiration contract.

Finally "locking" can be understood as a very high possibility of obtaining. Jerry Jackson Jr. is a win-win situation. Either the transaction is achieved or it can play a role of "beating".
