The Lakers recruit foreign players! Preparation specifically for Doncic!

Since the Lakers were eliminated, Lakers fans have been envious of other teams and are still competing for the championship, just watching whether the lineup of their home team will improve.

It is certain that since James publicly complained that the team's lineup is incomplete, it is imperative and will definitely be implemented. Although the Lakers are facing a window period of alternating new and old cores, winning the championship is always the most decent way to inherit the royal power.

center is the most eager position for the Lakers - the Lakers' rebounding ranks 18th in the league in the regular season, and fell to the bottom of the playoffs.

famous reporter Michael Scotto reported that if Pelter failed to renew his contract with the Raptors, the Lakers will intervene. As a top basket protector and rebounder, his finishing ability is also excellent. In theory, he can form an efficient pick-and-roll combination with Doncic, but... Raptors general manager Ujri usually asks for a very high price, which makes Pelinka very difficult to deal with. Another potential target is Doncic's old partner Gafford. Average of 21 minutes, he can score 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.8 attacking percentage is 70.2%. He does not need to be run-in, and he can directly match Doncic after trading.

The media revealed that Doncic was photographed having a private dinner with Gafford a few days ago, and said, "We will play basketball again" during the meal! It seems that he has received some kind of deal promise from Pelinka.

From the first meeting with Doncic after being eliminated, it can be seen that the Lakers attach great importance to this future cornerstone, and all operations revolve around Doncic, and even opened a new position for him.

Recently, the Lakers spent $200,000-250,000 to recruit chief physical training teachers. The core task is to help Doncic lose weight, while strengthening players' discipline, coordinating training arrangements, adjusting plans as needed, helping them achieve the best competitive state and maintaining health.

Barkley, a famous celebrity who was deeply affected by physical distortion back then, praised Doncic, saying that he could not even defend against a chair.

"You are a top player and are about to sign a contract of $300 million to $400 million. You must match this salary by maintaining your body shape. He can't defend anyone at all. He must learn to defend and control his body shape, and manage his body shape first so that other problems will be solved."

After losing weight, Doncic, coupled with his old age, and with a brand new and reliable center, while maintaining the basic core lineup, can such a Lakers enter the championship finals next season?
