If you are interested in missing one forward line, the Lakers are not doing anything, look at the Rockets, they have become a champion team

According to the report of the famous espn reporter shams, the Timberwolves left their team's sixth man Reed. The team's management is sincere and begged him to stay with the team! Although, the team outside gave Reed the same salary, and also promised to provide him with a main position! But Reed finally accepted the five-year contract renewal worth $125 million for the parent team. At this point, the Lakers have missed another center player, and the team still has to search for free in the free market and find the bargain!

The Lakers' current center players have three-person contracts expired, and one is a two-way contract! But these four center players are very limited in strength, which is very useful! In the first round of the playoffs this season, when the Lakers faced the Timberwolves, their inside line suffered a big loss! Their inside line was beaten by the Timberwolves, and in the end, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves 1:4 in the series, and the team was swept by a gentleman!

This painful experience has not been long, but the Lakers management seems to have healed the scar and forgotten the pain. They have done almost nothing since the offseason! It's hard to satisfy! There are not many center players in the league market now. The Lakers are not willing to make enough chips with powerful center players, which puts the Lakers in an embarrassing situation! They are interested in many center players in the league, but they are either traded or stayed in the team, and they are not sincere enough and their opponents are unwilling to trade with the Lakers!

Lakers general manager Pelinka was tedious and delayed the Lakers. He always wanted to find a bargain in the free market and always wanted to find treasures in the free market! But the general managers of the alliance are all old fry, so how can they be so beautiful as adults! Now the Lakers have replaced their new bosses. Although Pelinka and Jenny Buss are still the management of the Lakers, they are definitely only a matter of time before they are marginalized. Maybe they think that inaction is the biggest thing they do now! After all, if you don’t move, you will make fewer mistakes!

However, the Lakers do not lack strong center players at present, and the team also needs center players! Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to make a difference in the new season, especially in the fiercely competitive Western Conference. If the Lakers want to break through the siege, their configuration needs to be good enough! Therefore, Pelinka needs to make a difference, otherwise, his future will probably be difficult to achieve with the Lakers!

Look at the Rockets, Pelinka wants to learn from Rockets General Manager Stone. The Rockets General Manager is really quick to cut the mess. He doesn't hesitate and is quick enough to start quickly and accurately. They reached a deal with the Suns, sent Jaylen Green and Brooks away, and welcomed Durant! Now the Rockets have completely taken off, and they have the strength to compete for the championship! If the Lakers want to become a Rockets-level team, they also need to change their lineup drastically and improve their team's strength!
