The Lakers center signing list was exposed. Except for Adams, it was all sunset red, so why did you pick up the rag again?

The center is the pain of the Lakers and their lineup weakness. In order to ask the center to be sent to Dallas, Doncic wants to return a center and encounters a bad thing that has not passed the physical examination. The Lakers, who had no center guard, were swept through the first round of the playoffs by the Wolf Cubs. Pelinka secretly made up her mind that she would have to strengthen the No. 5 position if she spent this summer.

However, after the latest list of center signings in the center was exposed, the loyalists of Zijin were heartbroken. Because the target candidates on the list are: Adams, Looney, Capela and Horford. These four are blue-collar workers who are more defensive than attack, and three of them are representatives of old and slowness. In terms of transaction value, except for Adams, the remaining three are definitely negative. The Lakers are interested in Sunset Red when they have James. Lakers fans can't help but ask: "Why are Clarkston and Gafford already missing now?"

Why did the Mesozoic generation turn into Sunset Red? It's not difficult to answer this question. First of all, the Lakers have always been stingy. After winning the championship in 2020, they directly broke up the championship lineup. The reason given is that some players are not worth the price. However, many of the champions who left that year won the championship again in other teams and all received high salaries. We can't say that the Lakers have poor vision, we can only say that they broke up the team to save money.

The same problem also occurs when introducing centers. Gafford and Clarkston both have a salary of more than 15 million. Although the cost-effectiveness is very high, the salary is over 10 million. It either requires a lot of money to sign or more luxury tax expenses. Looney, Horford, and Capela are all options for veterans to sign with a basic salary. They can save 12 million by winning 3 million. Jenny Buss cares more about how much money they can win now, and they don’t care about signing a good center and winning the championship. The so-called old women's house collapsed and collapsed now became concrete.

The second is that the Lakers management does not see hope for winning the championship. Although the Lakers management exchanged Davis for Doncic, this is only the first step in forming a championship lineup. Only by subsequent additional investment can the championship be won, the Lakers obviously don’t want to invest.

James is old, and his combination with Doncic can only ensure that the Lakers enter the playoffs, but cannot guarantee that the Lakers can win the championship. Winning the championship is the ultimate goal of the Lakers. Not seeing the rabbit and not showing off the eagle is the purpose of the Lakers' management to sign. If the Lakers are destined to miss the championship, then spending a lot of money to introduce the center will be futile. It’s better to pick up other people’s junk and make up for the first release. Although it will make Donghuang unhappy, it will save money and leave enough salary space for the future.

The Lakers management never made these statements clear, but their actions verified all speculations. In recent years, the Lakers have all signed players to achieve immediate results. They have never thought about holding for a long time and not training new players. Making quick money is the consensus of the Lakers management rather than winning the championship.

The Lakers will most likely be a veteran at the fifth position next season. If it is Capela, it’s nothing. After all, the old A8 can run as well. If it is Looney, Lakers fans will ask for more blessings. They will most likely miss Hayes very much. Although the ball quota is low, they can at least eat some cakes. Looney really can't do anything.

Perhaps all the Lakers' big actions have to be implemented before James can be carried out. After all, James occupies most of the salary space, which is also a fact that cannot be changed.
