Ryan + Hayes is likely to leave the team and Kroko is expected to become a regular person. US media suggests that three parties trade to chase platinum

On May 29, NBA reporter Anthony Irwin reported that Jax Hayes was very dissatisfied with his role in the Lakers at the end of the season and is expected to leave LAL.

Anthony Irwin said that the possibility of Hayes returning to the Lakers is very small. He is very dissatisfied with his playoffs and role positioning, and he also lost the income he could have won. From the Lakers' perspective, Redick has lost confidence in Hayes. Unless Hayes is willing to continue to receive a basic salary and accept a role relegation in the new season, Hayes has a small probability of returning to the Lakers.

He later revealed that Alex Ryan's career with the Lakers has been completed. Kroko and Jamison are loved by Lakers fans. Both of them are likely to return with two-way contracts. Kroko has the hope of getting a formal contract with the Lakers (other teams may also give Kroko a formal contract).

The Lakers' rotation at the fifth position this season is actually only Hayes (2.46 million), Ryan (740,000), Kloko (two-way), and Jamison (two-way). If Hayes and Ryan both leave the team, the Lakers will inevitably need to introduce new inside players this summer. Even if Kloko gets a formal contract with the Lakers, it is not enough.

Lakers Media Lakers All Day Everyday lists a three-party trading plan - Lakers, Celtics, and Wizards.
