Reeves switched alone! The Lakers averaged 13+9 centers per game? This transaction is sure to make a profit but not lose money

At this stage, the Los Angeles Lakers love and hate Reeves.

Playoffs, Reeves made 73 shots and shot a shooting rate of 41.1%.

For comparison:

1, Holiday shot 60 times, shooting rate 42.3%;

2, Garland shot 69 times, shooting rate 42.0%;

3, Porter Jr. made 120 times, shooting rate 39.2%.

Although the performance was not good this season, Xiaoli was not much worse than the other three leading players. And this is the existence of the Lakers "love" him. To be precise, whether it is free or potential transactions, it is cost-effective.

However, it has been revealed that Reeves will break out of the contract tomorrow summer and then seek a contract with a starting salary of 30 million yuan. And this is how the Lakers "hate" him. To put it bluntly, Mingxia will face great pressure to renew the contract.

Is Reeves worth an annual salary of 30 million?

For this, let’s look at several sets of comparison data.

Ball-in-the-ball offense

1. Reeves made 396 shots and shot a shooting rate of 38.4%;

2. During the same period, Bridges made 376 shots and shot a shooting rate of 44.7%.

No ball offense

1. Reeves caught 293 shots and shot a shooting rate of 39.9%;

2. During the same period, Bridges made 444 shots and shot a shooting rate of 39.6%.

Defensive end

1. Reeves interfered with opponent's shooting 1,122 times in the regular season, and his opponent's shooting rate increased from 45.9% to 49.3%;

2. During the same period, Bridges interfered with opponent's shooting 1,040 times in the opponent's shooting, and his opponent's shooting rate decreased from 46.4% to 45.6%.

To sum up three points, Bridges is better than Reeves on both offense and defense. Considering that the former is only an annual salary of 24 million, the cost-effectiveness of Xiaoli’s annual salary of 30 million is not that high.

In view of the possibility of Reeves leaving the team tomorrow summer, the US media "Open-Air Stand" recommends that the Lakers and the Hawks make a deal. The specific plan is: Reeves single-for-Okonggu. Regarding this potential deal, I think the Lakers are sure to make a profit and not lose money.

Reason 1: Progress.

1, 22-23 season averaged 9.9 points and 7.2 rebounds per game;

2, 23-24 season averaged 10.2 points and 6.8 rebounds per game;

3, 24-25 season averaged 13.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game. According to the comparison data of

, Okonggu has shown a clear progress trend in the past three quarters.

Reason 2: Comparison. 24-25, Die Okonggu averaged 13.4 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.

For comparison:

1, Towns averaged 24.4 points and 12.8 rebounds per game;

2, Evan Mobley averaged 18.5 points and 8.3 rebounds per game;

3, Myers Turner averaged 15.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game.

Compared with this, Aocongu, who averages 13+9 per game, has the ability to fight at the center position at the upper and middle level.

Reason 3: Contract. Reeves basically has a one-year contract, while Okonggu is a two-year contract. This is one, and the second is relative to the center position, and the subsequent contract price will not be too high.

In summary, we can only make money but not lose money. We can understand that Okonggu is in a progressive trend and has good combat power compared to the center position. Obviously this is a good addition to the Lakers. Taking a step back means that Shareves has a high probability of leaving the Lakers.
