From 13 million to 250,000! See, the Lakers second center candidate is here.

Basketball

Previously, it was revealed that the Trail Blazers had put Robert Williams on the trading shelves and attracted the attention of teams such as the Lakers, Warriors, and Bucks.

Is Loway good?

Let's not talk about it for now, I don't think it's suitable for the Lakers.

First, he has been in a "sick" state since leaving the Celtics - he has only made 26 appearances in the past two seasons. For comparison, 52 people including McDaniels, Bridges, Siakam, etc. appeared 50+ before the All-Star Season 24-25. From this perspective, does Loway have the feeling of "charging for two hours and using for five minutes".

Second, Rowe still has one year and 13 million expiration contract in the new season. On the positive side, the expiration contract will not affect the so-called 27-year plan of the Lakers management. But the worries are how to renew the contract when it expires. If you are in a healthy state, it's easy to say, according to the market price, but if you are still a "sick person", it will be troublesome. You'll lose your hands on the big contract, just like Vanderbilt.

It is difficult to keep people if you open a small contract. It's like tomorrow summer, there will definitely be a big contract with a slim like Wizards and Jazz to offer Reeves an average salary of 30 million yuan. To put it bluntly, use salary space to grab people.

To sum up two points, Rowe is not suitable for the Lakers due to the injury attribute + expiration contract. Of course, it is still acceptable to exchange it with Kleber. Because like the former, the "Cola Cup" is also a "sick seedling".

In fact, from the perspective of being interested in Rowe, the Lakers are still not very at ease with Hayes. Speaking of this, let’s look at several sets of data:

shooting rate versus

1, Hayes 72.2%;

2, Jaart Allen 70.6%;

3, Gafford 70.2%.

Haes is undoubtedly the top presence in the league just in terms of "eating cakes". In fact, Hayes has the highest shooting percentage in the league among players with at least 200 shots. Of course, this has a lot to do with Doncic and others' "feeding cakes".

Helper power comparison

1, Hayes 85.7%;

2, Valan 58.3%;

3, Zubac 70.3%.

Obviously, Hayes's end is mainly about "eating cakes". Simply put, nearly 86 passes for every 100 sports goals from teammates. Comparison of

shot positions

1, Hayes averaged 3.9 feet;

2, Gobert averaged 4.1 feet;

3, Nurkic averaged 4.5 feet.

As shown in the data, Hayes's attack basically comes from the inside, or in other words, traditional insider play. Of course, we can also understand it as a lack of projection ability.

To sum up three points, Hayes is more like the peak version of Jordan Jordan. To be precise, the ending efficiency brought by the strong "eating cake" is high, but Hayes does not have the defensive ability of Jordan Jr.

Therefore, with the characteristics of strong offense and weak defense, coupled with the limited offensive end, I think Hays is more suitable for playing third center. To put it bluntly, hold on for a few minutes per game or when a specific type is used.

If Hayes is the third center, it will still have to look for the second center for the Lakers. The upside is that as time goes by, some teams have begun to lay off employees.

According to the NBA China official website: considering the overcrowding, the Wizards officially announced the layoff of Holmes.

What needs to be explained for Holmes is:

First, contract. It is true that the annual salary in the 25th to 26th season is 13 million, but the guaranteed part is only 250,000. In other words, he made less than $12 million after being cut by the Wizards.

The second is combat power. In his 489 games so far, he averaged 8.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game in 19.1 minutes per game. Among them, the 19-20, 20-21 and 21-22 averaged double-point scores per game for three consecutive seasons. In addition, combined with the 64.4% true shooting rate in his career, he still has a certain amount of real combat power.

What I mean:

Unit time per game is 15 minutes per game, and it is not a big problem to get 10+5.

Does the Lakers have a chance to get Holmes?

I think the possibility is still quite large.

First, opportunity. As I said just now, Hayes is still a bit bad in playing against the Lakers' second center. If Holmes joins, the chances are more or less guaranteed. Even in some games, such as Ayton being injured and taking a turn to become a starter.

Second, Doncic. From Gafford, Lefley, to Hays. It can be said that Doncic has a great bonus to the center, just like Paul Jordan in the past - the second rounder player was "feeded" into an All-Star. Of course, Holmes will definitely not reach the height of Jordan Jr., but the data is on an upward trend.

Third, exposure. With this alone, it is difficult for the Knicks and the Warriors to compete with the Lakers. It is true that super high exposure is a double-edged sword, but due to Doncic factors, it is more of a positive rather than a negative effect on the team. When you perform well, the subsequent contract will come naturally. This is like Monk and Schroeder in the past. To put it more, Monk has been receiving an annual salary of tens of millions since the Lakers received their basic salary.

To sum up the above three points, it can be understood as the time (Doncic), the location (exposure), the people and (opportunities). From this point of view, the Lakers are still very attractive to Holmes.

From another perspective, after being cut, the Lakers can sign Holmes with their basic salary. Obviously, Pelinka is willing to do so. After all, everyone signs with basic salary.

Finally, if Holmes ended up on the Lakers' roster, I'm not surprised at all. After all, the Lakers have a great chance to get him after being cut by the Wizards.
