Actively strengthen! It is revealed that the Lakers are aiming for 81 points in two games! Average 21.2 points per game, and their annual salary may exceed 30 million

On June 3, there are no NBA games, and there are still 3 days left in the Finals. Many people bluntly say that this year's NBA Finals are too dull. Compared to watching the game, the free market operations are more exciting. And just today, Yahoo reporter Kevin O 'Connor reported that the Lakers will show off their offense in the free market this summer. One of the goals is to dig a top 3D player to make up for the lack of personnel in the Lakers' engineer position.

The Lakers currently have three superstars, James, Doncic, and Rivers, but the players in other roles are average. This summer, Rivers' future is also confusing. Many people predict that he will refuse to execute the player option, jump out of the contract, negotiate a new contract with the Lakers, or leave the team. If Rivers leaves the team, the Lakers can talk to him about signing first and then changing, and exchange some assets for the Lakers. It is also good. Rivers' current value is at the highest level and is a good opportunity to sell.

If Rivers leaves, then Doncic's monopoly of power in the backcourt will also be beneficial to the complete release of his personal abilities. As mentioned above, the Lakers' plan to dig the top 3D this summer actually has a goal. Kevin O 'Connor reported that the Lakers set their sights on Pelicans guard Trae Murphy III. Trey Murphy III has a top-level arm span, and both static and dynamic talents are top-notch. They can attack and defend, and are willing to be a green leaf. They are a very high-quality 3D player.

Murphy averaged 21.2 points per game with the Pelicans this season, setting a career high, and at the same time he had 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.7 blocks. He performed very actively. Murphy took on the main task many times when Zion, Dejunta Murray and CJ fell one after another. Although this was not his job, it was also done well. On February 1 and February 2 this year, Murphy suddenly broke out in two back-to-back games. On February 1, he played against the Celtics for 15 of 20 shots, made 8 of 12 three-pointers, scoring 40 points. A day later, he played against the Nuggets on February 2, and he exploded again, making 13 of 21 shots, 8 of 12 shots, and scored 41 points!

Two consecutive games, and it was back-to-back games, scoring 81 points, shocking the league! Everyone knows that Murphy is not good at scoring, but he declared with 81 points in two games that he can not only defend, but also play as long as he gives the ball and the chance! Therefore, such a top 3D player is only 24 years old this year. The Lakers are aiming at him and pursuing fiercely is completely reasonable.

However, it is not easy for the Lakers to poach me Murphy, because Murphy's four-year, $14.78 million contract expires this summer and he will become a full free agent. Industry insiders analyzed that his next contract will have an annual salary of more than 30 million. In this case, the Lakers do not have much salary space to sign him unless James cuts his salary significantly. In addition, Murphy is not just the Lakers want it on the market. The Nuggets, Pacers, Spurs, Pistons, Clippers, Heat, Raptors, Celtics, and Mavericks are all chasing, and his prediction ranking has also been released. The Nuggets rank first, the Lakers rank fifth, and the Mavericks rank tenth. It is worth mentioning that in the summer of 2021, Murphy trained for the Lakers.
