Congratulations to the Lakers! The forward line is traded, and it would be perfect to trade Reeves for Avdia

Basketball

Season 24-25, Avdia averaged 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists in 30 minutes per game. It is worth mentioning that all three data are at a record high in their careers.

Explanation point 1: Progressiveness. He averaged 9.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists in the 22-23 season, 14.7 points, 7.2 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the 23-24 season, and 16.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists in the 24-25 season. Judging from the data, Avdia showed good progress.

Explanation point 2: Almighty. In this season, Avdia scored no less than 15 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in a single game. It is indeed incomparable to "big names" such as Jokic, Doncic, and Harden. The problem is that among the under-24 players, only Edwards, Lamelo Ball, etc., are only a few people.

To sum up two points, Avdia has good plasticity when it shows progress and omnipotence. It is important that maintaining steady growth at the age of 24 is very likely to become a new generation of all-round forward.

In view of the fact that Reeves refused Pelinka's four-year contract renewal of nearly $90 million in advance, it is possible that some media and fans will suggest that the Lakers use Reeves to try to trade Avdia. If the two sides reach an exchange, I think it will still be more beneficial than disadvantages to the Lakers.

Reason 1: Features. Relatively speaking, Avdia is more versatile and Reeves is stronger in his personal ending. From the perspective of helping the team, each has its own advantages, but it is reflected in the actual situation of the Lakers:

1. Compared with Reeves, Avdia can better share Doncic's organizational pressure;

2. More versatile can enrich the team's tactical diversification. To put it more, Avdia is the forward line and Reeves is the defender. The former should be added with the word "more" to the diversified offensive and defensive tactics.

Reason 2: Defense. So far in his career, Avdia's real positive and negative defense value is 0.3 and Reeves' value is -0.4. Relatively speaking, the former has better defense.

To sum up the two points, "the benefits outweigh the disadvantages" can be understood as:

advantage. Avdia is stronger than Reeves on the defensive end, and Avdia is more helpful to Doncic and the team's offensive and defensive tactics on the offensive and defensive end. Disadvantages: Avdia is still in the growth stage, and it is still unknown whether the potential future growth will continue and what height it will grow. In contrast, Reeves has basically established a stable output and is about combat power.

Of course, it is still unknown whether the Avdia Lakers can trade. But the positive thing is that according to the NBA China official website, the Heat are willing to listen to Wiggins' trading quotes, and several other teams are interested in inquiries.

In fact, before the NBA free agent market opened, it was revealed that Pelinka had already inquired about Wiggins, but Riley asked for too high a price and failed to do so. In this move, given that the Heat took the initiative to release trading news, I think the Lakers are still very likely to win Wiggins, the favorite forward.

Reason: Attitude. First of all, we need to understand that the asking price of active trading and passive inquiry is different. For example, just for the Lakers, Angie's asking price for Kessler has always been at least two first rounds, which is a passive inquiry. To put it bluntly, it is not necessary to trade on the Jazz side. For example, it was reported from the Heat that it was willing to exchange Rozier's $26 million expiration contract for any bargaining chips, and this is an active transaction.

This time the Heat is actively trading, and the asking price will inevitably not be as high as the passive inquiry at the end of June. It just so happens that the Lakers can provide chip matching transactions in Hachimura, Knector, and the second round.

Finally, considering that the Heat took the initiative to trade Wiggins, the Lakers still have a considerable probability of getting this favorite forward. It would be even more perfect if Reeves exchanged for Avdia later.
