Give up 58 million for two years! The Lakers made a wise decision, Hachimura Shizuo replaced Dillon? Pelinka sees you

We all know that Dillon Brooks was sent to the Suns by the Rockets in Durant's trade. Unlike Jaylen Green, I don't think Dillon is in the Suns' future plans.

First: Position. In 14,503 minutes in his 492 games in NBA career, Dillon has played 27% of the second position and 67% of the third position. In other words, like Bridges, DeRozan and others, they are swingers. And this conflicts with Booker in position.

Key points, Booker can't play the number one position, and Dillon can't play - his career assist rate is only 9.0%, bringing only 2.0 assists per game.

Second, contract. By this summer, Dillon still has two years and 40 million contracts.

Relatively speaking, I think the first point is the main reason.

It is certain that Booker is the absolute core of the team after Durant left the team. In this case, Dillon and the former have conflicts in position, and it is inevitable that they will be abandoned. Besides, there are big contracts that play a role in promoting them.

Does the Lakers have any demand for Dillon? There must be an answer

.

Explanation point 1: personnel change. Finney Smith left the team to join the Rockets, it is still difficult to say whether Vanderbilt can overcome the injury, and of course it is also difficult to say whether James stays in the team.

Explanation point 2: Defense. As a second round pick (No. 45 in 2017), Dillon was able to build a foothold in the league by defending - highlight moments. He was selected for the second defense of the year with Adebayo, Anunobi, Mengmeng Green and Derek White in the 22-23 season.

To sum up the two points, we can understand that Dillon is a very big addition to the Lakers' forward line, especially the defense.

Who is better for the Lakers to exchange for Dillon?

I think it is Hachimura.

First, that is, combat power. 24-25 Season Hachimura 0.223 points/round. For comparison, Jaart Allen 0.227 points/round and PJ Washington 0.215 points/round. In other words, the fourth and fifth players of the team are in line with the standards.

Second, contract. This summer, there is still a one-year contract of 18 million yuan.

has both certain combat power and expiration contract factors, which obviously shows that Hachimura can increase the probability of the Lakers trading to Dillon.

The good thing is that according to Lakers reporter Dan Woike, the team has given up pursuing Andrew Wiggins. It is hard to say whether the Lakers can trade Dillon, but it seems to me that it is a wise decision to give up Wiggins.

Reason 1: Contract. This summer, Wiggins has two years and a 58 million contract. It is worth mentioning that the 26-27 season is 30 million players' option.

Reason 2: Degeneration. The true positive and negative value of Wiggins offense in season 23-24 is 1.2, and the true positive and negative value of defense is -0.3. The biathlon values of the 24-25 are -0.1 and -0.9. In other words, Wiggins has shown a clear deterioration on both offense and defense in the past two seasons.

To sum up two points, under the premise of degradation and large contracts, it can be said that Wiggins' cost-effectiveness is not high. From another perspective, Dillon is obviously more helpful to the Lakers with almost the same bargaining chips than Wiggins.
