The Lakers want to trade Hachimura for Collins, and build a team around Doncic, Kessler is also the subject of consideration

On June 20, Lakers reporter Anthony Irwin reported that the Lakers have always appreciated Collins' ability, which can not only open up space as an outside threat, but also complete high-altitude finishing operations. The Lakers plan to use Hachimura as the core bargaining chip to bid for Collins and combine it with draft picks for trading negotiations. Compared to Hachimura, Corinth is taller and more suitable for use as a small ball center. The two have very similar styles, so it is a perfect substitute, or even better.

The Lakers gradually use Doncic as the core team building. The management believes that the partner of Corinth and Doncic is particularly suitable, just like the partner of PJ-Washington and Doncic. The swap between Collins and Hachimura Less is just a "parallel deal" because the two have similar styles, both of which are tall wings that serve as defensive power forwards and open up space. Therefore, the Lakers are still looking for an inside big center, and are still very interested in the Jazz's Kessler and want to use Reeves as the core trading chip for exchange.

Compared with Hachimura, the taller Collins has more stable rebounding ability and a greater vertical threat. Although Hachimura is more flexible, Collins is more suitable for the Lakers who are slowing down now. James is getting older and moving slowly. Doncic is already playing slowly, so Collins is more suitable for today's Lakers. Although Doncic is the core of the team building in the future, Collins is also very suitable for James and is a player with outside shooting ability.

Now, the Lakers need the most to strengthen the inside big center. If the trade does not come to Kessler, Clarkston, and Gafford, then you can use the mini middle-class sign to Capela, which is also a good choice. If the trading target is right, the Lakers may also put Reeves in the trading chips.
