What a bad thing! Lakers and Kings are 4-for-1, and Raven is in Los Angeles?
4:29am, 13 May 2025【Basketball】
In the playoffs, the Lakers averaged 89.4 points per game in the starting game, second only to the Knicks' 96.5 points. In comparison, the substitutes averaged 11.0 points per game, and the 16 teams were the first to last.
To a large extent, poor substitute offensive firepower is one of the main reasons why the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated prematurely.

Speaking of substitute, Finney Smith cannot avoid - he can score 6.2 points per game in the playoffs. In addition, there is no other player on the bench who averages more than 3.0 points per game.
What is this concept?
Whenever the "electric fan" is absent, the Lakers' offensive pressure will be on Doncic, James, Reeves and Hachimura Shizuo.
From this perspective, Pelinka should strengthen the inside lineup this summer while strengthening the substitute lineup. Let me say more about this: the Lakers have 24 players in the regular season, among which only Doncic and James have less than 50%. In other words, most players are used to or can only "eat cake" to end the attack. In other words, lack of independent offensive ability.

Speaking of this, something interesting is coming.
The US media "FW" recommends that the Lakers and the Kings make a 4-for-1 deal. The specific plan will send Reeves, Vanderbilt, Finney Smith (signed) to the Lakers, and get LaVine in the first round in 2019.

What is the situation? Zach Lavine settled in Los Angeles?
In fact, in my opinion, it is a bad thing to do whether the transaction is reached or not. This is reflected in two aspects:
One, in the 654 NBA games in the game, Raven started 565 games, which means that the young rookie was thrown out in the first two seasons. From now on, no matter whether in the Timberwolves, Bulls or the Kings, if they can play, Raven will start with more than 95%. Not used to it, or not being able to play a substitute is one of them.
This season, Raven averaged 23.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, and Reeves averaged 20.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. Of course, you can say that Xiaoli has the advantage of "Zhan Mei" and "Dong Zhan" to attract firepower. But the problem is that Russell also enjoyed this treatment, but was still given up. After all, you can seize the opportunity when it comes out.
Lavender averaged 19.3 points per game and Reeves scored 16.7 points in his playoff career.

From this perspective, Raven is an upgraded version of Reeves from the perspective of star flavor, but it is not much improved from the perspective of immediate combat power. Moreover, the Lakers will also achieve two relatively good role players, "Van Debiao" and "Electric Fan". That is, the combat power is not greatly improved, this is the second. In terms of 2, off-court regular season, Kessler led the league in 16.6% of the frontcourt rebounding rate, 27.1% of the backcourt rebounding rate 11th (Jaart Allen behind Jokic), and 7.4% of the blocking rate was second only to Wenban Yama.
If it is Kessler's replacement, I believe Pelinka is very willing to make the first round in 31 years - filling the team's shortcomings + 24 years old can grow up with Doncic. But it is very risky to use it to exchange Lavender. What I mean is that if the latter has two years of contracts of nearly $100 million, it will be the second Westbrook if it is not suitable for the local environment.
I am very curious about the problems that fans can see, but professional media will not be able to see. Obviously, this trade suggestion is purely for the Lakers trade.

In summary, bad things can be summarized as saying that they are recommended to the Lakers even though they know that they are not suitable. Once or twice, if you don’t have to worry about the number of times, Pelinka will be “scamd”.
