No solution! The signing is about to be reached, the Lakers strongest five giants are released, how can other teams play

Killing crazy, Pelinka is simply a god who can get bargains in the offseason. The Lakers' strongest five giants are released, how can other teams play? According to NBA reporter Shams, in order to sign former DPOY Smart, the Lakers management launched an emergency plan within 24 hours. First, they laid off guard Milton's 3 million unsecured contract, and then cleared up part of Goodwin's 2.35 million guarantee contract, and finally freed up more than 5 million special cases and successfully finalized a two-year, 11 million signing contract with Smart.

As the winner of the 2022 DPOY+3 defense first-team + 3 "Desperate Saburo" Award, Smart averaged 14 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals per game during his peak period. Although his Wizards' data fell to 9 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 1 steal last season, his three-point shooting percentage of 39.2% hit a career high, and his efficiency in fighting on the defensive end is still at the forefront of the league.

For the Lakers who lost Finney Smith in the offseason, Smart's joining is undoubtedly a timely help. Players like the latter have no meaning to stay with the Wizards, even the Grizzlies. But if it is a team like the Lakers who compete for the championship, Smart is the most perfect puzzle for winning the championship. It does not require too much ball rights, and the outside can also provide stable fire support and defensive pressure. As playing time increases, we can even expect Smart to return to his peak performance during his Celtics.

In this way, the Lakers' strongest starting five Tigers are officially released in the new season. The backcourt partner Doncic + Reeves, the forward liner Smart + James, and the center Ayton. Smart's joining makes the Lakers' starting lineup no longer a defensive colander. You should know that the reason why Smart gave up the high buyout money from the original contract and chose to reduce his salary to join the Lakers was, on the one hand, because Doncic personally came forward to recruit and drew a grand blueprint for the team to win the championship. On the other hand, the Lakers promised tactical status and exposure of giants.

Playing in the Los Angeles big ball market, Smart doesn't need to worry about exposure. Players like Caruso can become popular. What reason does the 31-year-old former DPOY Smart not go all out? In other words, next season is a key window for the Lakers to reach the championship. James has one year left to use it. If Smart can inject energy into the team's defensive end at this time, it will be very easy to sign a contract with an annual salary of about 20 million yuan.

Congratulations to the Lakers. I thought that Pelinka, who was focusing on the bargaining market, was destroying the Lakers' final win window. Unexpectedly, as the Trail Blazers bought out Ayton, who joined the Lakers for 16 million in two years, the Wizards bought out Smart, and the Lakers took out 11 million in two years. The sky for the Purple Gold fans suddenly became bright. In the past, the biggest inside problem of the Lakers was now solved with Ayton joining, Hays' contract renewal has been resolved. Another weak defensive weakness will also be improved visible to the naked eye after Smart's arrival.

As for subsequent operations, US media reporter Ary reported that the Lakers have not given up on the pursuit of the Warriors' abandonment of Melton. Once the latter can airborne Los Angeles, the Lakers' defensive problem will be solved. At that time, the Lakers, who have no shortcomings on both offense and defense, have reached an unsolvable level. How can other teams in the league play? James is finally going to win five championships in the last part of his career, and his historical status surpasses Jordan.
