Lakers news: James has confirmed to stay in the team, the plan for 4 to 1 is released, the young player is working hard

Jack James is determined to stay in the team

Today, espn famous reporter Brian Windhorst talked about whether Lakers star LeBron James, who is very concerned about, will continue to stay in the Lakers in a podcast program called "The Dan Patrick Show". Windhorst said: "Although the Lakers have focused on Doncic's future development, the Lakers still value James very much. And James has repeatedly stated that staying in Los Angeles is his first choice. Unless the Lakers make any extreme actions change James's view, James will not leave the Lakers." This offseason, James has the option of player and can choose to execute or jump out of the contract. He needs to make a decision on June 30 local time.

From the perspective of the situation, James has played for the Lakers for 7 seasons, won the championship and honors of all sizes, and will inevitably build a relationship. At the same time, many of James' relatives and friends have also settled in Los Angeles, and he has no reason to go to a new place in the late stage of his career. From a reasonable point of view, the Lakers can give James enough voice and salary, and he can also pave the way for his eldest son Brownie and second son Bryce (which is expected to participate in the draft next summer) to gain a better foothold in the NBA. All signs show that James is basically sure to stay in the Lakers, but he doesn't know whether he will implement the player option or sign a new contract with the Lakers again.

4-for-1 plan was released

Not long ago, Lakers' basketball operations president Robert Pelinka made it clear at the team's season summary conference that the Lakers will operate with all their strength this summer to get a trusted inside player. Today, experts from the US media "BR" suggested that the Lakers could complete a 4-for-1 deal with the Celtics and get All-Star center Porzingis. The specific plan is for the Lakers to leave Hachimura, Kleber, the first round pick in 30 years and the first round swap rights in 32 years to get Porzingis. Porzingis, 29 years old, is 2.21m tall and weighs 110kg. He has played in the NBA for 10 seasons and has played in the total regular season games in 501 games. He averaged 19.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.8 blocks per game. He has been selected for one All-Star and won one championship.

For the Lakers, Porzingis's net worth plummeted after a poor playoff performance due to illness, and the Lakers are a good time to buy at the bottom. On the offensive end, Porzingis can not only pick-and-roll and go down, but also open up space to shoot long shots from outside, which can enrich the Lakers' offensive tactics; on the defensive end, Porzingis has excellent skills in assisting the protective frame, which is exactly what the Lakers urgently need; most importantly, Porzingis and Doncic have four years of cooperation experience in the Mavericks, and both sides are familiar with their respective styles and styles, and they believe they will have chemical reactions soon.

For the Celtics, with Tatum suffering from a severe Achilles tendon rupture, the team is likely to choose to transform and rebuild, which means other players may be put on the shelves. Porzingis, who has suffered from injuries in the past two seasons, is undoubtedly the greatest possibility of being traded. Hachimura is a forward line that can attack and defend well, which can improve the Celtics' forward depth and substitute scoring firepower; Kleber is a space-type inside line that has certain shooting and frame protection capabilities, which can fill the vacancy of Porzingis leaving the team to a certain extent; there is no need to say much about the money in the first round and the first round exchange rights, and there is a lot of room for operation.

The young player worked hard

Today, Lakers teenager Kneckett accepted an interview with the media and talked about his plans for the offseason. Kneckett said: "I realized that I still have many shortcomings in the rookie season, and I have begun to resume training. I want to polish and improve my abilities and skills in this offseason, and become a more comprehensive and trustworthy player in accordance with the team's requirements." This season's regular season, Kneckett played 78 games, averaging 19.1 minutes per game and scored 9.1 points and 2.8 rebounds, with shooting percentages of 46.1%, 37.6%, and 76.2% respectively in the three events.

Judging from the data performance of the rookie season, Kneckett is completely worthy of his 17th pick. In addition, he was sent to the Hornets by the Lakers before the trade deadline. Later, because Ma Wei's physical examination failed to be cancelled, it is quite commendable that Kneckett can quickly calm down and contribute to the Lakers again. Now, Knector can keep his original intention and devote himself to the training hall to practice hard early, which also proves that he is really a young man with goals, motivation and motivation. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. I believe that Kennett will appear in front of us with a stronger attitude next season.
