New news on May 11! The Lakers have big moves this summer, with 2 people or victims, Gafford being the target

According to SI, Hachimura Shizuo may be the main bargaining chip for the Lakers to trade centers - the Lakers have just ended a season from zero expectations to high expectations. When they traded to superstar Doncic, their fate also changed, which changed the Lakers' development trajectory in the next ten years or so. Although this season has not gone as planned, everyone hopes that under Doncic's leadership, the Lakers will become the contender for the championship again, and what the Lakers have to solve now is the center's candidate.

Miji Brett Siegel simulated a deal: the Pistons got Hachimura, the Nets got Cleber, Fontezio, and Paul Reed, the first round swap rights in 2028 (the best among the three teams gave the Nets, the second best to the Pistons, and the worst to the Lakers), the Lakers' first round draft pick in 2031 (the top five pick protection) and the Pistons' two second rounds. The Lakers got Clarkston.

According to previous news, Reeves' existing contract has 2 years and 29 million, and it will be renewed in advance next summer. The Lakers have prepared a four-year, 8,920 contract, but Reeves is likely to refuse and try the free market. Of course, there is a reason for this - in the past four seasons of his career, Reeves has made obvious progress every year. This season, averaging 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 breaks, and all data are career highs. But due to the Lakers' salary space, he may become another victim of Lakers' strengthening this summer.

According to the US media lakers better, according to espn reporter McMahon, "Gafford is about to enter the last year of his contract. He will become a free agent next year's offseason. He is likely to ask for a salary for the starting center. In the face of Thick Brow's maximum salary contract and Levley is about to pass the rookie contract, Gafford is likely to be traded."

According to media reports, after the Lakers and Mavericks played against each other, Doncic and Gafford joked, "We will play together again." Just like Finney Smith, as a former teammate, after Doncic joined the Lakers, the electric fan was in water and the efficiency was improved, and Gafford could obviously perfectly adapt to Doncic's system.

To sum up, the Lakers don't trade many chips now, but there is one principle that will not change, that is, to build a team around Doncic, center is the Lakers' top priority in the offseason. Now, in addition to Clarkston and Gafford, there are also the Jazz's Kessler, even Adebayo and Antetokounmpo. At the same time, the Lakers are also paying attention to the free market, and Capela, Turner and Adams are also potential targets.
