Damn! Lakers big moves! Restart the trade! The super center is finally here...

Basketball

Report from Sports Illustrated - The Lakers are sure to have big moves this summer, hoping to increase the team's 82 regular season competition through trades and help the team return to the ranks of championship contenders. The Lakers' primary goal of strengthening is to add a strong center. In fact, the Lakers have personally sent away many powerful centers.

In 2018, the Lakers gave up renewing the contract with Lopez, and Daluo eventually joined the Bucks with a salary of 3.4 million yuan a year. In the first year after leaving the Lakers, Daluo was successfully selected for the US Men's Basketball World Cup roster. In the second year after leaving the Lakers, Daluo was selected for the second team of the best defensive team. In the third year after leaving the Lakers, Daluo won the NBA championship as the main player of the Bucks. In the fourth year after leaving the Lakers, Lopez was selected for the first defense.

In 2019, Zubac was traded by the Lakers to the Clippers in the same city team. The player the Lakers loved to want, but in seven matches with active first player Jokic scored 17.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 66% shooting percentage, which was regarded by countless fans as the Clippers' inside answer.

In 2020, Howard/McGee formed a double tower lineup and made great contributions to the Lakers' championship, but was tragically broken up after the Lakers won the championship. Similar situations include the Lakers' mop, which was traded to the Nuggets after the regular season broke out in 2023. In the end, the Lakers defeated the Nuggets in the Western Conference Finals due to their weak inside.

In 2025, the Lakers first sent away Thick Brows and then canceled the Mawei deal, which eventually led to a deformed lineup, but the third in the West was eliminated in the first round. This summer, the Lakers are determined to upgrade to the inside. It is said that the Lakers' psychological goals include: Kessler, Gafford, Clarkston, and Boltel. In addition, there are also a group of free agents who have no contracts in the free market.

These include: Daluo, Turner, Reed, Zhuang Shen, Capela, Adams, Horford, Corinth, Achouva and other players. If the price is not high, it can also be used as a strengthening plan B. As time goes by, veterans such as James, Curry, Durant have reached their final peak one after another, and this year's offseason strengthening is probably their last chance.
