Meiji: The Lakers are looking for high-quality 3D in the backcourt, and Domson, Smart and others are potential targets

On July 10, according to US media reporter Brett Siegel, due to the urgent need for its own backcourt to reserve defensive resources, the Lakers are currently actively looking for high-quality defenders with 3D attributes, and this potential reinforcement is expected to be completed by the end of this month.

In the relevant reports of Anthony Irwin, Bulls defender Dosem, Wizards defender Smart, and Trail Blazers defender Seble are currently potential targets for the Lakers. In terms of chips, since the above three people are all expiring contracts in 2026, the Lakers have the opportunity to promote the transaction without using any first round.

Take Dosem as an example. The Lakers theoretically only need to give Knector + 1 second round pick. If the Bulls take the opportunity to ask for a high price, the Lakers can immediately cool him aside and turn to negotiate with the Wizards/Trail Blazers.

In the 2024-25 season, Dosem averaged 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 49.2%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 32.8%;

Smart averaged 9.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 39.3%, and 34.8% of three-point shooting percentage;

Shibull averaged 7.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 47.7%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 43.8%.
