Grimes is suitable for the Lakers? Team reporter responds to questions from netizens, Pelinka s operation is too difficult

Basketball

The Lakers' operations in this offseason have fully tilted resources towards Doncic. From Ayton, to Smart and Laravia. These players are all suitable for Dongzi's team. Ayton gives the Lakers a big center, Smart is a personal guard, and Laravia is a high-quality outside shooter. Of course, based on style analysis, these three players are also suitable for James' style of playing 1 star 3 shots and 1 cake. Donghuang can share a system. But the Lakers' royal power undoubtedly belongs to Dongzi.

The Lakers are still facing a problem, which is the problems that Doncic and Reeves faced in the backcourt after Christie was traded to the Mavericks. The Lakers gradually realized the weakness of the backcourt in the playoffs last season. Doncic is easily named, and he is surrounded by Reeves, who is also poor in defense. Unless the Lakers rely on offense to fight hard, they will be flooding. In addition, Reeves' request for an annual salary of 40 million also puts the Lakers in a dilemma, which is also the reason why he may be traded.

There is currently a player who is quite suitable for the Lakers, and he is Grimes of the 76ers. Today, US netizen Martin discussed the deadlock between Grimes and Philadelphia online. His agent has postponed the deadline for qualification quotation to after October 1. Grimes was not ready to accept his fate, but still hoped to leave the 76ers through the trade. Martin forwarded the report and asked the Lakers whether the team can get Grimes?

Trevor Lane and Buha, two Lakers' team reporters, answered the question from this netizen. Trevor Lane believes that the Lakers no longer have room to directly sign Grams. They are approaching the first rich line, so the probability of joining is 0. The only feasible strategy is to let Grimes join the Lakers by signing first and then changing, which is also the solution the Grimes team is currently seeking. Buha agrees with this statement, but he believes that it is extremely difficult for the Lakers to get Grimes.

First you have to convince the 76ers to trade Grimes to the Lakers, and then what chips do the team need to provide to Philadelphia? If the Lakers offer the price, the 76ers put the chips provided by the Lakers in the free market and let other teams compete, then if other teams provide better chips, should the Lakers increase the price? In terms of playing style, Grimes is undoubtedly very suitable for the Lakers, and the Lakers also have bargaining chips, which is Reeves. If the 76ers are interested, they may pull the three sides. The biggest difference between

Grims and Reeves is that Grims has a better body shape, better defense, and more offense and organization. In addition, Grimes's asking price is not high, with an annual salary of about 20 million to 25 million yuan. He has rejected the 4-year, 39 million yuan contract given by Philadelphia. Grimes is 1.93 meters tall and is a rookie with 25 picks in the first round in 21 years. His talent is naturally above the undrafted Reeves. He spent his rookie in the Knicks and started out with defense. Everyone knows what level he can satisfy Thibodeau.

Unfortunately, the Knicks didn't give him much resources, so he went to the Mavericks. And shine there, playing in 47 games, scoring 10.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 22 minutes, with a shooting percentage of 46%, and a three-pointer of up to 40%. After that, he was traded to 76ers. Grimes played 28 starts and started 25 games, averaging 33.7 minutes per game, scoring 22 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.5 blocks. His shooting percentage was 47%, and his three-pointers were 37% per game. What does Doncic need? It's a defensive backcourt like Christie, and Grimes has both Christie's defensive advantages and Reeves' offensive advantages. The Lakers have two big cores in the ball, so there is no need to stay Reeves, and Smart's body is too crisp, so Grimes is almost the most preferred choice for the Lakers.
