Lake Media formulates a three-party transaction plan and trades Porzingis with Yamura + Kneckett!

The news about the Lakers' recruitment has been heard since the offseason. The two core players, Doncic and James, will definitely continue to stay in the Lakers next season. Doncic is now back in Europe to prepare for the European Championships, and his weight loss status is very significant when he uses the competition to practice instead of weight loss. Judging from the pictures released on social media, Doncic has lost a lot. James is likely to execute the player option, and his last dance has begun to lay the groundwork. Recently, the Lakers media simulated a tripartite deal, targeting the Celtics' inside Porzingis. The specific transaction plan is as follows:

Lakers get: Porzingis

Celtics get: Hachimura, Kneckett, Sadie Baker

Wizards get: Kleber, 2030 first-round draft pick swap rights.

The Lakers were eliminated 4-1 by the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs this season. The biggest problem with the team is that there is no excellent inside player. Hayes is not effective on the court and can only eat cakes near the basket. He cannot protect the basket on the defensive end and cannot open up space on the offensive end, resulting in the Lakers being able to use five small lineups. Lakers reporters revealed that Hayes was dissatisfied with the inability to get a stable playing time in the playoffs, and thus lost the income he could have won. The career luck that suddenly broke out in the regular season came to an abrupt end in the playoffs. After all, Hays is still just a player with a basic salary level, and his own characteristics cannot even get a middle-class contract.

Let's take a look at Porzingis, an old teammate who is a partner with Doncic in the Lone Walker. He is 29 years old and is 221cm tall. He has only played 42 games this season, averaging 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 41.2%. The data looks very good. However, Porzingis suffered an unknown virus infection in March this year and was unable to maintain sufficient physical function. His playoff form plummeted, with an average of only 7.7 points, 4.6 rebounds per game, a shooting percentage of 31.6%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 15.4%. Whether it can be recovered is still an unknown number. Furthermore, Porzingis's glass physique is also worrying. Doncic is not a player with a particularly high attendance rate. The Lakers cannot bear the risk of injury. The cost of Hachimura Kennett's first-round draft pick is too high. It is better to target the Jazz's Kessler and Raptors' Pelter, or directly sprint Antetokounmpo.
