Doncic lost a lot of money, and the Lakers kept getting good news! Trying 2 centers and 1 guard + Xiaoli may be traded

Doncic lost a lot of weight, and the Lakers were out in the first round, but there were constant good news after the offseason! Not only has the rookie selection and trial training for two centers and one defender, the Lakers are also very active in the trading market, and Xiaoli, who was once regarded as the third leader, may be traded.

Good news: Doncic lost a lot of money

Before the mid-season trading deadline, the Lakers obtained the 26-year-old Doncic from the Mavericks through an incredible deal, who is also regarded as the core of the Lakers' team building in the next 10 years.

However, after joining the Lakers, Doncic's bloated body shape and bottom-out physical fitness caused controversy, especially after entering the playoffs, Doncic frequently became a shortcoming on the defensive end, resulting in his distorted body shape and frequent criticism from the outside world.

Poor control of body shape is also one of the core reasons why Doncic was sent away by the Mavericks. Therefore, after the Lakers were knocked out in the first round, the outside world was also very worried that Doncic's body shape would further distort in the offseason, which would affect the future of the Lakers.

coach Redick even publicly hinted at the season summary press conference that Doncic's physical condition did not reach the championship level. After Antetokounmpo's departure was reported, media even suggested that the Lakers package Doncic to trade Antetokounmpo.

Lakers reporter Jovan Buha also responded to this topic specifically on a podcast program, bluntly saying that Antetokounmpo is a better player than Doncic at the moment, but the latter is younger, so he will choose Doncic himself.

For a star, he encountered such a public opinion environment in his first season with the Lakers, which shows the severity of Doncic's body shape distortion.

As a result, Doncic's first appearance after the end of the season brought surprises. Doncic, who returned to his hometown in Europe during the offseason, appeared at Real Madrid to watch the game at home. Judging from the photos and videos released on the scene, Doncic has lost a lot in just one month.

This is closely related to the Lakers' determination. After discovering that Doncic does not pay attention to physical training, according to the previous report by Dan Woike, a Lakers reporter with the team, shortly after being eliminated in the first round, the Lakers decisively replaced the team's physical coach Ed Stratt, who had been playing for six years.

At the same time, a physical coach who "can inspire players' enthusiasm for training" was publicly recruited. Judging from the current results, such personnel adjustments have brought obvious incentives to Doncic.

Good news 2: Xiaoli may be traded

Since Doncic joined in the middle of the season, Reeves' role has begun to become strange, because the characteristics of the two of them are almost exactly the same as those of the weak rings, both of which require the offensive backcourt with the ball in their hands, and they cannot make stable contributions on the defensive end.

In comparison, Doncic is obviously a better-level star. He has a greater influence on the offensive end and has basic talent on the defensive end, and is expected to improve his performance after losing weight. Reeves' weak defensive ring is more due to his irreversible basic talent.

Therefore, after the end of the season, a number of players, including former player Lou Wei, and the media have suggested that the Lakers buy Reeves in exchange for a starting-level insider.

From the perspective of lineup rationality, such a trick makes sense, especially when 40-year-old James is further aged, the Lakers need to introduce more defensive resources.

However, the Lakers' management has always been tough, and Pelinka's public voice has always insisted that Xiaoli is one of the core, but Xiaoli's agent's latest statement gives a different attitude.

Faced with the complicated voices from the outside world, Reeves' agent said in an interview with Lakers Daily that people have no idea what will happen next.

At the same time, Lakers media Silver Screen and Roll also spoke out quickly, pointing out that Reeves' next contract will exceed 30 million annual salary.

Currently, Xiaoli is carrying a 4-year, $56 million contract. The fourth year is the player option. This summer, the Lakers can provide him with a 4-year, $89.2 million contract renewal contract, but Silver Screen and Roll expect Xiaoli to jump out of the contract in 26 years to test the waters of the free market and pursue a contract of more than $30 million.

Good news 3: The Lakers tried out 3 people

According to Bill O 'Rear, the Lakers, who hold the No. 55 draw, have tried out at least 3 people.

are 3D guard Butler, who averaged 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in his senior season, and his three-point shooting percentage was 39.1%.

Senior center Samson Johnson, averaging 7.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, as well as inside Goulding, who was beaten by Yang Hansen in the joint trial, averaged 16.6 points, 7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game in his last season in college.
