How to strengthen the Lakers? US media gives you a perfect 3-step plan: Doncic loses weight + trade signing to chase 8 players

The third in the Western Conference stopped in the first round. How can the Lakers rebound through offseason adjustments? The US media "fadeawayworld" prepares for the future and offers a perfect 3-step reinforcement plan, including Doncic's weight loss, and the pursuit of eight major reinforcement goals for trading and signing.

The first step: Doncic lost weight

The Lakers unexpectedly got Doncic in the middle of the season, and one of the core reasons why the Mavericks sent Doncic away, who was at least 10 years old, was that they had enough of his poor management of his figure.

After joining the Lakers, Doncic returned to the arena, but there are still obvious problems in weight control, resulting in ineffective defensive end.

Therefore, in the summary press conference at the end of the season, coach Redick publicly stated that some players' physical condition did not reach the championship level, and clearly pointed the finger at Doncic.

For this reason, after the end of the season, the Lakers immediately replaced the physical coach who had been playing for the team for 8 years, and publicly recruited new coaches, and clearly stated that stimulating players' enthusiasm for training was one of the main criteria for inspection.

Judging from the recent photos of Doncic's old club Real Madrid game, he has lost a lot of money, which is obviously a huge good news for the Lakers.

Compared with the Lakers' offensive ball-holding core Reeves, Doncic's physical talent theoretically has the basis to become a qualified defender, especially in reference to his first 2-3 seasons after entering the NBA and Doncic's performance in some key playoffs.

When he is in good condition, Doncic can not only play a reliable defender, but can even complete the switch to the 1-4 position.

Therefore, as James grows older, if the Lakers want to compete for the championship next season, Doncic must complete the weight loss to ensure the abundant physical fitness, so as to avoid becoming a loophole on the defensive end, so as to change the current situation of the Lakers being strong in offense and weak in defense.

Step 2: Free market pursues three major goals

Due to the contract between James and Doncic, the Lakers have very limited space and means available for the offseason.

If James is unwilling to cut his salary and renew his contract, the Lakers are likely to have only a $5.7 million mini middle class special case that can be used on Taobao.

If James is willing to cut his salary by about $15 million to renew his contract, the Lakers can use the full middle-class special case of $14.1 million. Considering that James was willing to cut his salary for introducing some players last summer, I believe that if the Lakers can get the reinforcement goal that satisfies James, James will also be willing to cut his salary appropriately at the end of his career.

Selected according to the standard of a full middle-class special case of $14.1 million, and the US media gave the Lakers three major goals.

are the elite level 3D Alexander Walker, who gave an impressive performance against the Lakers in the playoffs.

The other two are Capela and Adams. The Lakers have obvious shortcomings in the interior, and they will be reasonable candidates for the Lakers' substitute inside.

Step 3: Trading market chases 5 major goals

Whether or not Adams and Capela can be won in the free market, the Lakers need to further pursue another starting level insider in the trading market.

The Lakers have players such as Kneckett, Hachimura, and even Reeves who can be used as bargaining chips. In addition, the first round pick and first round swap can be used to introduce a starting level insider.

The US media gave the Lakers five major goals, the best ones are Gafford, Allen and Clarkston. If these three players cannot be won, Sharp and Sims will also be worthy of the Lakers' consideration.
