Strengthen loopholes! The Lakers and Nets are expected to trade 6 for 2, and James and Doncic hope to compete for the championship will increase significantly

In the first round of the NBA playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 1-4 and missed the second round. This loss not only made the Lakers stop in the first round for three consecutive years, but also made the team's future development confused. The team continued to the first round, and also exposed the structural defects of the team's lineup. If the Lakers want to regain their momentum next season, the three cores need to make adjustments and changes, and the management also needs to make drastic reforms to the lineup during the offseason, otherwise the Lakers will still be difficult for the Lakers to act next season.

In terms of lineup, judging from performance this season, the Lakers need to strengthen their strength in the inside and introduce some inside players with outstanding height and strength to make up for the shortcomings in the inside. At the same time, we also need to find some players with high three-point shooting percentage to improve the team's outside offensive ability. In response to this situation, Bailey Bassett, the author of the US media ClutchPoints, proposed that the Los Angeles Lakers try to consider using Reeves for Brooklyn Nets center Clarkston, and gave a potential trading plan. Let's take a look at the specific situation:

The Los Angeles Lakers won: Clarkston, Cameron got it. Hansson

Brooklyn Nets won: Austin Reeves, MaxikleBell, Dalton Knecht, Gab Vincent, Jared Vanderbilt, 2031 first-round draft picks

For the Lakers, the team has no better choice, and can only improve their strength quickly through trade reinforcement. The chips given out in this trade are also very sincere. So what impact will the players obtained have on the lineup? Cameron Johnson has excellent shooting ability, and three-pointers are an important scoring method. He is good at both key three-pointers in positional battles and shooting in fast attacks. In addition to his offensive performance, Johnson also performed well on the defensive end. He can use his height and wingspan advantages to effectively interfere with his opponent's shooting and passing. He averaged 31.6 minutes per game, scored 18.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.4 blocks, and 0.9 steals, with a shooting percentage of 47.5%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 39.0%. Clarkston has strong franchise protection ability and top-notch skills at the basket. If he joins the Lakers, he will be the best barrier in the inside, contributing 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting percentage of 56.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 23.8%, and free throw shooting percentage of 51.3%. If the team can get the help of these two players, the problems exposed by the Lakers will be solved and they will make a comeback next season.

For the Nets, it is currently a reconstruction team. As long as the players in the team are suitable, they can trade. So what about getting chips in this transaction? First of all, Austin Reeves is known for his stable open three-point shooting ability, excellent passing and organizational ability, and has good ball control and organizational ability. In addition, his defensive ability is also very excellent, and he can effectively limit his opponent's scoring. He averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game in 34.9 minutes, and his three shooting percentages were 46%, 37.7%, and 87.7%, respectively. The other three players have good strength, which can improve the team's bench depth. In addition, he also got a first-round pick, which is also conducive to the team's better strengthening.

Overall, this deal is very good for both teams. If it can be finally reached, please feel free to discuss it in the comment section!
