Is the Lakers No. 8 winnings for a 7-foot-1 monster value? 3 data reveals the key to success or failure of the transaction

Can this operation on the Lakers' talent show night really be a god or a pit?

Good guy, the Lakers management is not moving or not and can’t sleep! As the draft approaches, a message suddenly pops up from the NBA official database: The Lakers are going to pack the young player Knecht, who was just selected last year, plus the first round pick in 2031, to the Nets for the No. 8 and No. 36 this year. Anyone with a discerning eye can understand it at a glance - this is for the 7-foot-1 "door god" Maluahe of Duke University!

Last season's playoffs, the Thick Brow was tortured by the Timberwolves' Twin Towers, and finally she was so tired that she supported her knees and gasped. It probably caused Pelinka to have a nightmare for several days. This time, Maluahe came, it was clear that he wanted to lock the penalty area. But then again, isn’t it too bold to give away the first round of picks in 2031?

What is this guy? The data will not lie

Maluahe's data in Duke is not explosive at first glance - he averages 8.6 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, but there is something in the in-depth report of Stats.NBA.com: this guy can fly 4.2 shots every 36 minutes, and his opponent's shooting percentage in front of him dropped 12.3%! What's even more amazing is that his success rate of changing defense to a small man was 68%, which was like a young version of Gobert.

Basketball-Reference took out the historical data and found that he and the Cavaliers' Mobri's rookie year were simply carved out of the same mold, but they were even stronger. The Lakers scout team guaranteed: "As long as you practice some offense, you will definitely be a tough guy!"

The three parties have their own ulterior motives, whoever makes a profit will lose?

The Lakers are determined to win at the moment - Doncic is at the peak, and James has seen that it has been a few years, so he can't wait! The Nets were laughing from ear to ear: the unprotected first-round pick in 2031, if the Lakers played badly, they might be the No. 1 pick. The Trail Blazers are not losing money either. They picked up Knecht for free, plus the Knicks' first round of 2027, and there are many bricks on the road to reconstruction.

ESPN experts were quarreling. Some people say that this operation is comparable to the Celtics' transformation of Tatum, while others make up old accounts: "I forgot the tragedy of the Nets' replacement of Garnett in 2013? You can't send random signings in the future!" What do the old coaches think? Some people like and some are worried

Former NBA coach Van Gundy scratched his head in the show: "Maluahe has no choice but to defend, but he is now a rough guy on the offensive end. If the Lakers can use the No. 36 sign to win a shooter, such as Knecht, the University of Tennessee, this deal is not a loss."

Euroleague official data also came to join in the fun - compared to those big men in Europe, Maluahe is indeed moving faster, but his game experience is pitifully lacking. Lakers assistant coach Handy has already started to think about how to give him a small meal: "Practice pick-and-roll first in summer, and take the rest!"

From "Fengshen" to "spending off the family"

NBA official website comment area is as lively as a vegetable market. A brother started the game passionately: "You bet big! When James retires, the Lakers will definitely play badly, so it's better to be stubborn now!" Someone immediately responded: "If you draw the top five picks in 2031, Pelinka will wait to be scolded and become a hot search!"

The Chinese Basketball Association Archives quietly threw out a set of data: This kind of "future-for-now" transaction is basically the 55-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50-50- Think about how delicious Gasol's trade is, and think about how miserable the Nets were back then...

Be careful to step on the thunder!

Featured fans start to dig into details: If the unprotected signing in 2031 is held for several consecutive years, it may trigger the league's "restriction on displaying badly". The 36th draw was a sure profit, and the salary cap of $920,000 is a happy time to win a substitute shooter.

CBA data coolly found similar cases - the Lakers' operation is neither like being completely defeated nor like being able to win the championship with all their might, but like watching while walking. In Northeastern dialect, it means: "Try it first, and then withdraw if you don't have it!" The Lakers are never afraid of taking risks. Can Maluahe be the next thick eyebrows? Will you find a treasure on the No. 36 sign? All of these have to be allowed to fly for a while. But one thing is certain: By 2031, today's deal will either be praised or sprayed into a sieve - there is no intermediate option!
