Take the initiative to speak out, Rivers decides to detonate the alliance, rather than give up 90 million, than leave Los Angeles

When Edwards led the Timberwolves to complete the epic Black Seven Miracle, the spotlight in the Lakers locker room suddenly became dazzling. This Galaxy battleship with Doncic + James' dual cores was swept by the gentleman of the seventh-ranked young legion in the West. The truth behind it is far more shocking than the score of 4-1!

Fatal Injury: Team-breaking transactions self-destructing the Great Wall

The operation of sending Anthony Davis away in the middle of the season is a disaster-level decision. Even though General Manager Pelinka urgently operated Mark Williams's deal, he had a miscarriage due to physical examination problems, which directly led to the Lakers' penalty area becoming Gobert's playground. Data shows that the French Tower averaged 18.2 points and 14.8 rebounds per game in the series, with a shooting percentage of up to 68.4%, a 21% increase from the regular season!

What is even more incredible is coach Redick's tactical suicide - the life-and-death battle in G5 actually made 38-year-old James play in the No. 5 position. This decision directly activates Gober's power of the prehistoric world, instantly evolving from "Husky" into a bully in the penalty area,

in a single game

to score 26+17 dominant data.

Fatal injury: 100 million yuan in the backcourt becomes a defensive black hole

Lakers management may re-evaluate the decision to renew Rivers for 4 years, 56 million yuan. The undraft legend and Doncic formed a billion-dollar backcourt, which was completely beaten by the Edwards + Conley combination in the series: the defensive efficiency value is 122.3 at the bottom of the league

has been broken through 14.2 times per game

The defensive error rate is 39.8%

What is more fatal is the dual-core "ball-holding paradox": When Doncic controls the ball, Rivers' running efficiency without the ball plummeted to 0.87 points/round; and when the role is changed, the Slovenian genius' catch-and-shooting percentage is only 31.4%. This 1+1＜2 chemical reaction has caused the Lakers' offensive efficiency to plummet from the fifth regular season to the 14th playoffs: The City of Angels has become a star cemetery

The big news exposed by Sports Illustrated revealed the last fig leaf - Rivers refused to renew the contract for 90 million in four years and was determined to test the free market in 2026. Behind this reflects the deformed ecology of Los Angeles:

In the past three years, 7 stars/coaches have voluntarily left the team

The number of complaints about cyber violence has surged by 230% year-on-year

The first in the league

It is interesting to note that the players who left collectively ushered in rebirth: Davis returns to the best defensive lineup in the Mavericks, Westbrook turns into a bench gangster in the Nuggets, and even Russell, who was criticized, plays all-star data in the Magic. This "Lakeman curse" is shaking the team's recruitment foundation.

[In-depth conclusion]

When Pelinka was hesitant to hold the first round of 29 years in his hand, the Timberwolves' youth storm had swept the league. If the Lakers cannot solve the three major problems, even if they have two super giants, they will be just a carnival of data brushes. The redemption time left for management may only be the last offseason... (Voting at the end of the article: Do you think the Lakers should trade Doncic or James to rebuild?)
