Internal upgrade! US media shows a 4-for-2 trading plan, Zhao Si joins the Lakers, netizens: Make a fortune

As we all know, the Lakers' biggest shortcoming at present is the inside, and this is also the main reason why they were swept by the Timberwolves Gentleman in the first round. 40-year-old James is powerless, Hays is too thin and has no ball business, and Haymura is only 2.03 meters tall. After all, the Lakers do not have a real center in the playoffs.

The lack of players in the interior who are athletic and good at hitting the basket has caused the team to appear to be unable to do both offense and defense. We can see this shortcoming, and the management will naturally think of it. In order to solve this problem, Pelinka publicly stated in the season summary that the team will build a new lineup around Doncic as the core, and strengthening the center position is the top priority in the offseason.

In fact, in order to build a championship lineup around Doncic, it is necessary to introduce an inside player who can pick-and-roll, protect the frame, and eat cake. You should know that the reason why the Mavericks were able to reach the finals last year was because insiders like Gafford and Lefuli were able to maximize Doncic's role.

Recently, according to Forbes sports reporter Evan Sidery, the Lakers have locked in two key players in the inside signing: Nets center Nicholas Clarkston and Mavericks' Daniel Gafford. The Nets are also open to trading Clarkston, which gives the Lakers hope to strengthen the inside.

At the same time, Matt Moore, a US Records, also confirmed the report, adding: "As an inside player with excellent athletic ability, Clarkston can not only participate in offense and defense conversions quickly, but also have the ability to switch defenses that suit the Luca system. Considering the trading history between the Nets and the Lakers, and Clarkston may want to join the championship team, this trend deserves close attention."

Against this background, US media Jake Weinbach proposed a 4-for-2 trading plan, which attracted widespread attention. The specific plan is as follows:

Lakers get: Nicholas Clarkston, 2023 No. 27 draft pick

Nets get: Hachimura, Kneckett, Kleber, 2031 Lakers first round pick (top 8 pick protection)

Netizens are generally optimistic about this trading plan and believe that the Lakers can be said to be a "heavy profit" in this transaction. Clarkston's joining will greatly enhance the Lakers' inside strength and make the team more competitive in the new season. Although it is a price to send away players such as Hachimura and future draft picks, in the long run, this deal is expected to bring a qualitative leap to the Lakers' lineup.

Of course, there are still many uncertainties about whether this transaction can be finally reached. But in any case, the Lakers management has shown its determination to actively strengthen the inside line, and fans are also looking forward to the team being able to meet the challenges with a new lineup in the new season and launching another impact towards the championship goal.
