James is selected! Who will be traded in the new season of the Lakers? US media announced the 3-man roster: Hachimura wins the championship

James was selected! With 0 trading operations in the offseason, who is most likely to be traded in the new season of the Lakers? US media "SI" announced the list of three people, among which Hachimura won the championship.

Lakers 0 trades

Compared with the past few seasons, the Lakers have changed their previous style of adjusting their lineups in the trading market this summer. They have been cautious and have not completed any trading operations so far in the offseason.

Only introduced Laravia to fill the vacancy after Finney Smith left, and then bet on two former All-Star players in the buyout market, Ayton and Smart, who had obvious shortcomings.

US media predicts that three people may be traded

In this case, US media "SI" showed three Lakers players who may be traded less than two weeks before the new season training camp, of which James was selected.

Third place: James

James executed a $52.6 million player option to stay in the team during the offseason, becoming the only player in the NBA who holds the veto power of the trade. Therefore, the initiative to whether James will be traded in the new season is not in the hands of the Lakers.

But the attitude of the Lakers management, as well as the competitiveness and plans of the Lakers in the new season, will obviously affect the decisions of the James team, and it has been since the offseason.

First, the Lakers did not choose to renew their contract with James again, and the latter was unwilling to break out of the original contract to complete the salary cut. Secondly, facing James's execution of the player option and staying with the team, the Lakers chose to respond indifferently, and gradually shifted their focus and plans toward Doncic.

According to ESPN famous reporter Brain Windhorst, the new season is likely to be the last year of James' NBA career, and he may leave the NBA to join other leagues after the end of next season.

Offs: FOS was revealed that James met with Jokic's agent to discuss the establishment of a brand new league, and has raised about $5 billion.

But an anonymous executive said in an interview with Lakers media Lakers Daily that unless James drops sharply or the Lakers win the championship in the new season, James will play until the 26-27 season.

Because James' second son Bryce will qualify for the draft in 26 years, this means that James has the hope of completing a historic level moment in the 26-27 season to compete with his two sons.

Reporter Ashish Mathur revealed that James still has good market prospects. If he does not retire in the new season, many teams such as the Warriors, Cavaliers and Mavericks are interested in getting him. Therefore, James is completely likely to force the team to leave the team due to the decline in the Lakers' competitiveness or future plans with his son, but the possibility is relatively low, so he is only ranked third.

Second place: Vincent

was once regarded as a key signing by the Lakers, but after joining the Lakers, Vincent's performance was extremely disappointing.

not only frequently suffered from injuries, but also lost a stable outside shooting, and only shot 30.5% of the three-point shooting percentage last season.

Considering that his $11.5 million contract is about to expire, Vincent will be a reasonable balance chip in a potential deal.

No doubt, the top position belongs to Hachimura. As James' age declined and began to transform into No. 4, Hachimura was forced to play a small forward, which made his role and adaptability awkward.

plus the Lakers have too many scoring points on the offensive end but lack reliable defenders, so when trading potential forward targets like Wiggins, Hachimura will be one of the reasonable bargaining chips.
