Bill s transfer situation: Lakers enter the game, competing for top defenders

11:54am, 14 July 2025【Basketball】

On July 14, famous reporters Marc Stein and Jake Fischer revealed that once the Suns buy out Bill’s contract, the free market will start a fierce competition, and many powerful teams are ready to move. The Los Angeles Lakers are among the five teams that clearly express their "intention" to sign Bill.

According to two famous reporters, the Clippers, Lakers, Warriors, Timberwolves and the Bucks, who have Antetokounmpo, have all shown a keen interest in the 33-year-old former All-Star player. Among them, the Clippers are generally regarded as the biggest favorite to sign Bills. Although the Lakers are not the most favored, they also have their own unique advantages and strong desires. Currently, the Lakers have a strong starting backcourt composed of Doncic and Reeves. Last season, both of them were the team's top offensive players, with averaged more than 20 points per game and assists of more than 5 times. The depth of the back line is already good. However, even so, the Lakers believe that it is still worth spending the money to sign Bills. The Lakers can provide the Bills with a starting salary of up to $5.1 million.

If Bill joins the Lakers, from a tactical perspective, he is expected to occasionally play as a substitute as he did last season with the Suns. During his time with the Suns, Bill played in 53 games, including 15 of which came on as a substitute, and still averaged 16.8 points per game. This means that even if Bill serves as a substitute, he can provide the team with stable scoring output and become a "secret weapon" on the Lakers' bench. His extensive game experience and superb personal skills may play a key role whether it is sharing pressure for the starter or leading the second team to charge.

For the Lakers, signing the Bills is a gamble full of challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, Bill's joining may further enhance the team's backline strength, enhance the depth of the lineup and tactical flexibility; on the other hand, it is also necessary to consider how to coordinate the ball rights allocation and on-field chemistry between Bill and existing core players.

Can Bill wear the purple and gold jersey to help the Lakers achieve higher honors? How will the Lakers make moves in this fierce transfer battle? Let us wait and see and pay attention to the development of the situation.
