The potential plan for 2 to 1 is released! The Lakers can strive for the top championship puzzle, White s playing style is too suitable for Zhan Dong

Recently, Laker Tom proposed a bold trading plan, where the Lakers can use Austin Reeves and Max Kleber as bargaining chips to exchange for White from Green Kai. If this deal can be really achieved, the Lakers will usher in a powerful player and the team's strength improvement cannot be underestimated.

Reeves has performed very well in the Lakers this season. He can hold the ball and play singles and break through and pass the ball on the offensive end; he actively fights and is not afraid of confrontation on the defensive end; in terms of organization, he can also sort out the team's offensive rhythm at critical moments, which is an indispensable and important puzzle for the Lakers. Although Kleber's data is not so impressive, his previous role in the Mavericks should not be underestimated. On the defensive end, he actively makes up for defense and assists defense, and can also interfere with his opponent's shooting with his height and wingspan; on the offensive end, he can pull out three-pointers from the outside to open up offensive space for his teammates.

However, facing a top player like White, the Lakers management should also seriously consider the possibility of a trade. After all, the team's back line is still better than defense.

31-year-old White has been amazing in the playoffs, averaging 37.8 minutes per game, scoring 18.8 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, as well as 0.64 steals and 1.09 blocks. He shot 46.3% from the field and 38.5% from three-pointers, and averaged 3.6 3-pointers per game, making him a top 3D player. In Green Kai, he is a key figure in the team's offense and defense. If you come to the Lakers and partner with Doncic in the backcourt, the combination of the two is definitely worthy of fans' expectations.

In my opinion, there are many tricks behind this 2-for-1 transaction plan. According to the analysis of internal factors of the Lakers, they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, and the current lineup has indeed reached a time when it must be changed drastically. Although the inside line shortcomings have always been criticized, the back line also needs to be upgraded. Take last season for example. When facing some teams with strong outside firepower, the Lakers' back defense often loses one's eye, and the offensive end also lacks stable three-point firepower to support James and Doncic.

White's arrival can perfectly solve these problems. His three-point ability can open up enough offensive space for the Zhan Dong combination, so that the opponent dare not double-team easily. On the defensive end, White can limit the opponent's core defenders with his excellent physical fitness and defensive awareness and relieve James' pressure on the defensive end. However, Reeves' departure will definitely make the Lakers feel pain. After all, Reeves has been fully integrated into the team system and has excellent chemical reactions with his teammates. His big heart performance at a critical moment makes fans call him "Key Mr.", and his departure may affect the Lakers' tactical execution in the short term.

From the perspective of external factors, Lu Kai also has his own small abacus. Although Reeves is young, he has already launched a huge offensive organizational deterrence. His independent offensive ability and his attacking attributes at critical moments are exactly what Green Kai needs. Moreover, Reeves' contract is cost-effective, and with increasingly tight salary space, it can provide GreenKai with more operational flexibility. Kleber can supplement Green Kai's inside depth. His size and height and three-point ability can make Green Kai's lineup more balanced.

However, if Green Kai sends White away, he will face considerable risks. As the team's "thigh" in the playoffs, White's experience and key ball abilities are irreplaceable. Once White is lost, Green Kai's rotation lineup in the playoffs will decrease, and his ability to adapt to strong enemies will also be affected. In addition, the NBA's trading market is fierce, and other teams may also be staring at White. If Green Kai doesn't handle it well, it is likely that the bamboo basket will be useless.

From the perspective of salary, this transaction also has some difficulties. If the Lakers want to complete the transaction, they need to ensure salary balance and also consider subsequent luxury tax issues. Green Kai also needs to weigh the salary space. After Tatum's season reimbursement, the team temporarily lost the opportunity to win the championship, and it was not very meaningful to pay a large amount of luxury tax. And the player's personal will is also crucial. If White does not want to leave Green Kay, or Reeves resists being traded, the deal will be difficult to advance.

If the Lakers can really get White smoothly, their strength will be qualitatively improved next season, and their hopes of winning the championship will increase greatly; if the transaction fails, both teams will have to find new trading goals again. It depends on who can get the best interests of his team in this complex and changing trading market.
