The Lakers plan to stay at centers with 2.6 points per game + 2.4 points, and the inside reinforcement may be over

When I saw the deal between Magic and Grizzlies today, I have to admire it. Magic is really a big deal. Of course, they also have many first-round picks, and they have plenty of resources in their hands, which can withstand the toss!

The Magic entered the playoffs this season. The team has suffered repeated injuries and has achieved that result. The combination of Ban Keiro and Wagner Jr. is very strong. Now they use 4 first-round picks, one hand-round swap, plus Pope and Anthony, and completed a 7-for-1 deal with the Grizzlies. After this deal, the Magic have been greatly strengthened on the back line. This team will become a newcomer in the East next season!

And when other teams shine in the free market, news broke out in the Lakers management. According to reporter Jovan Buha, the Lakers already have two candidates in the inside position!

The Lakers plan to leave two inside players with two-way contracts, the two players are Jamison and Kolloko. Jamison signed a two-year two-way contract with the Lakers. Next season, he still has a contract with the Lakers. He averaged 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds in 22 games this season. The Lakers’ plan is to keep him and continue to compete for the Lakers next season, but it is still a two-way contract.

Another inside player is Kroko. He averaged 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds per game in 37 games for the Lakers this season. At present, his contract with the Lakers has ended. He wants to use a two-way contract to complete the signing with him!

The Lakers' approach can be said to be very familiar. This plot has happened not once. It is obvious that if the pace of this year is not surprising, it will be mainly wait-based. When other teams are almost in business, the Lakers' management will still focus on finding bargains!

At the beginning, Kessler, the big center that the Lakers were eagerly obsessed with, had almost zero hopes. Gafford, which was previously reported with the Mavericks, and Clarkston of the Nets, had no chance if nothing unexpected happens. The Lakers currently have only one draw that can be traded. On the one hand, it is because they lack resources, and on the other hand, they really can't bear to bear it!

Judging from the current situation, it would be very good if the Lakers' management can finally get Capela from the Hawks. Although his strength is no longer as good as before, it is better than not. In addition, depending on the situation this year, Hayes doesn't know if he can keep it. Overall, there is little hope this year. Pelinka's strengthening of the team's inside line may have ended!

Familiar plot! The Lakers plan to stay at centers with 2.6 points per game + 2.4 points, and the inside reinforcement may be over
