Should the Lakers poach the Magic? The opponent has three centers, and the 7+7 first-round pick is buried

Although I ranked third in the Western Conference in the regular season, the Lakers are not that outstanding in strength. I was defeated by the lower-level player in the first round of the playoffs and swept by the Timberwolves gentleman, which proves this very well. Especially the Lakers' inside strength is really unsightly. Not to mention the playoff teams, even many lottery players are not that exaggerated.

In the entire history of the Lakers, there have been more than once poaching Magic. The media thinks that the Lakers should continue to do this, and this summer is the best time. You should know that the opponent has three centers. In addition to Wendell Carter and Wagner, Bitaze, who was a first-round pick, seems to be buried.

Obviously, the Magic's current lineup seems to be quite deformed. Although they have made it into the playoffs, the Magic relies more on defense. The offensive end is entirely dependent on dual-core Banchero and Wagner Jr. to conquer the world. The space seems extremely crowded, and the inside players restrict each other and lack the threat of a stable three-pointer. In the Magic's current starting center is Wendell Carter. As the No. 7 pick in the first round of 2018, he averaged 10.2 points, 10.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game in the series with the Celtics. Wendell Carter is not a star, but the lower limit seems to be relatively stable, and the Magic also value him very much, so it may be more difficult for the Lakers to win Wendell Carter.

But there are two centers left, which can definitely be won over. For example, substitute Wagner, who is actually not worse than Wendell Carter. This season, Wagner averaged 12.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. However, when he played against the Heat before Christmas, Wagner left the court after 2 minutes of serious injury and announced early reimbursement of the season. Speaking of which, the first team that Wagner played in his career was the Lakers, but after playing 43 games in the rookie season, he was sold to the Wizards at a low price. Moreover, because his younger brother Wagner Jr. is already one of the core of the Magic, I am afraid that Wagner will leave the team in the short term. Among the three center players, Bitaze from Georgia is a bit awkward in positioning the Magic. Although he just renewed his contract with the team last year, Bitaze can only be considered the third center, and even if Big Wagner is injured and reimbursed, he has not been reused. Even so, Bitaze averaged 7.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1.4 blocks per game. This efficiency is already very exaggerated, but his role has become marginalized again in the playoffs. The Magic would rather let Jonathan Isaac be the small-ball center. Bitaze just entered the league, but because he appeared at the press conference at the same time as "Fat Tiger" Zion Williamson, the picture of him being ignored was circulated. Bitaze is now under 26 years old. It should be no big problem to be a major rotation in a team with weak inside.
