On May 16, according to famous reporter Michael Scotto, if Pelter does not reach an early contract renewal with the Toronto Raptors this summer, teams like the Los Angeles Lakers will regard him as another target of signing. They are seeking to upgrade to the center position and solve the problem of insufficient height. It should be emphasized that in the 2024-2025 season, Pelter played 57 regular season games, averaging 14.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocks per game, and his annual salary next season is 19.5 million US dollars, which meets the requirements of the Los Angeles Lakers. He is also good at being able to eat cakes and defend. He is a tough guy at critical moments.

And the three-headed Reeves welcomes good news, Dan Woike's latest! According to people familiar with the matter, the former has recovered from a serious toe sprain. Although the injury is improving and no surgery is expected to be required, his performance at critical moments is not bad. He has performed well in some of the Lakers' most important games, thus building a good reputation in the team. This season, Reeves, who played for the Los Angeles Lakers, played 73 regular season games, averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game. He played in five playoff games and averaged 16.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game. His trading value is relatively large.

It is worth mentioning that Bulls guard Lonzo Ball talked about LeBron James on his personal podcast show, he said. James did everything on the court, achieved many achievements, and showed all his strength to the fullest. Even at the age of 40, he averaged 24.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 1 steal per game. Whether he retired depends on himself. If he said that, I don’t think he would retire, but instead, he would continue to choose to play. Obviously, at this stage, James is unlikely to retire and still play at a high level. His second son Bryce is also going to the NBA. It is better to have a father and son on the same stage. Jordan has not achieved it.

Now with the Los Angeles Lakers' signing target, General Manager Pelinka is very interested in Perltel. As long as the Toronto Raptors do not renew their contract, he will take action. After all, the center who can defend and eat cake is Luka Doncic's favorite, so he must start faster. Reeves welcomes good news, which is that his toe injury has recovered well and he does not need to undergo surgery. It should be noted that Ball does not think that LeBron James retires because he is 40 years old and plays about the same as he is twenty-eight years old. There is no reason to leave the NBA, but everything depends on the latter's idea.
