It’s not that Pelinka is the one who will play with Redick’s defense next season, but Ayton doesn’t want it! James plays center!

According to the news released by the Lakers today, we may have blamed Pelinka for mistakes. The person who really made the Lakers miss one big center after another was not Pelinka, but Redick, because he still wanted to play and switch defense next season, but he was not satisfied last season at all, so the big centers in the free market did not meet this requirement.

According to McMenamin, the Lakers have expressed their ideal center conditions. First, the player must be young, in line with the team's plan for the future, and can grow up with Doncic. Second, this player must be energetic, which is also the fundamental reason why the Lakers gave up players such as Lopez and Capela. These players are too old and lack vitality. Third, this player must have the ability to switch defenses and be able to defend multiple positions.

See these requirements? I just wondered, are there such players in the league now? Even if there are, they are all treasures of each team. How can they give it to you the Lakers?

It can be said that the truth is revealed. The fundamental reason why the Lakers have gained nothing in the free market and have not signed any big man is that these players do not conform to Redick's tactical philosophy!

Fans who have watched the Lakers game know that last season, Redick has always used the method of switching defenses on the defensive end. The team originally played well, but at the end of the season, Redick used a lot of switching defenses, which resulted in the team's defense completely collapsed.

In Redick's opinion, his defensive philosophy is not wrong. He believes that the reason why he did not have a good defense last season was because there was no suitable player, that is, there was a lack of a big center who could switch defenses. So this season, the Lakers are looking for such a player. It can be seen that Redick does not hit the wall and does not look back. He must test to prove that his defense replacement strategy is fine!

But new problems have also arisen. Isn’t the Lakers’ center Hayes the one who meets Redick’s defense replacement requirements? First of all, Hayes is young enough, around 25 years old, and secondly, Hayes is also very energetic, and the dunk is very exciting and can boost morale. In the end, Hayes could also switch defenses. After searching for a circle, it turned out that the most suitable mid-point was already in the formation?

Look at it like this, it is really wrong to blame Pelinka. Pelinka has said long ago that he will fully support Redick's work. The team's goal is to find players who conform to Redick's tactical philosophy, so he missed one opportunity after another, but the most embarrassing thing now is that he can't find such a player at all, which is called a waste of money.

If not unexpected, next season, James will play center, and this time he will play center. Anyway, for the Lakers, this is also James' last season, and it will be useless. Moreover, James plays the No. 5 position and the effect is very good, so you can play more. This is called making the best use of everything. I have to say that if you meet a management team like the Lakers and such a coach, James will be in great danger in his life.
