Durant is determined to be the Spurs, will accelerate the Lakers trading Irving Jr.? Hopefully, I will not become the next Ingram

According to Suns reporter John Gambadoro, Durant has admitted to the person he trusts most that he will join the San Antonio Spurs.

Why does Xiaoshuai have a special liking for the Spurs?

is unknown at present, but if growth is predicted, the Spurs in the new season will be very likely to become the Celtics in the 2008 season.

My meaning:

Durant + Vinban Yama + Fox's instant combat power is not inferior to Garnett + Pierce + Ray Allen's instant combat power. In addition, both young players Castle can compete with Rondo.

Potentially, the Spurs' in-fighting power will reach the championship level in the new season.

The Spurs' combat power has been greatly enhanced, which is definitely not good news for the West, especially the Lakers. After all, there is another competitor.

What is the dilemma of the Lakers this summer?

1. The price of missing centers is the spotlight that the league is peeped at.

2. Reeves' stay or leave.

Relatively speaking, I think the second point is the main reason.

First of all, Doncic has proved that there is no need for top inside players. It is better for the Lakers to get Kessler and Clarkston, and it is acceptable not to settle for Capela, Bitaze, etc.

If next shareaves jumps out of the contract (necessarily), it will be difficult for the Lakers to retain people when facing competition. The right to use will be one season left. Based on this, I think the Lakers will trade Reeves this summer.

Reason 1: Spurs. As I said just now, once Durant gets the Spurs' immediate combat power will be greatly enhanced, and it can even be said to disrupt the league's championship situation.

Reason 2: "Irving". Judging from the past two seasons, Reeves and Irving's characteristics are becoming more and more similar.

Holding:

1. Reeves made 396 shots, with a shooting rate of 38.4%;

2. Irving made 393 shots, with a shooting rate of 40.2%.

Received:

1. Reeves made 293 shots, with a shooting rate of 39.9%;

2. Irving made 154 shots, with a shooting rate of 44.2%.

Critical moments:

1. Reeves made 45 shots, with a shooting rate of 42.3%;

2. Irving made 55 shots, with a shooting rate of 45.9%.

Comparative data, Reeves also has the attributes of Irving's big heart at critical moments, but the poorest one is efficiency. To some extent, it can be seen as the existence of Little Irving.

To sum up two points, if the Lakers want to break through the deadlock or complete targeted reinforcement this summer, the only best way is to trade Reeves. After all, the cost-effectiveness is very high with clear characteristics and combat power. One step back means that there is a high probability of leaving the team tomorrow summer.

Speaking of this, it is not a pity for the Lakers to trade Reeves, but they just hope not to become the next Ingram - they are immediately selected as the All-Star after leaving the Lakers, which makes Lakers fans feel a pity.
