It s a pity to miss out on horsepower. Luoyang Media sends the Lakers three major center goals! The God of Po was selected as Durham and won the championship with strong strength.

It's not a pity for Mark Williams to miss out on health issues. Luoyang media "lakeshowlife" gave three major centers to the Lakers to strengthen their goals. Among them, the defending champion core inside the champion who was eliminated in the semi-finals was selected, while the Eastern Conference dark horse Pistons inside Durham won the championship strongly.

Missed the Mawei inside line, the inside line has been one of the biggest shortcomings that have plagued the Lakers in the past few seasons. Brother Davis publicly asked the management to strengthen more than once, but he was sent away before the trade deadline.
With the departure of Davis, the Lakers' inside line completely collapsed, leaving only Hayes to be available, forcing the Lakers to use the "5 small lineup" for a long time in the playoffs, and was finally swept by the tall Timberwolves 4-1 easily gentleman.
In fact, before the trading deadline, the Lakers tried to win Mark Williams from the Hornets through a 4-for-1 deal. As a result, when the two sides had reached a preliminary deal, the Lakers finally returned the goods for "health reasons", which also made the Lakers missed the opportunity to strengthen the inside.

Low-Medal sends three inside candidates
Because Mark Williams' own ability, age and potential perfectly meet the Lakers' reinforcement needs, he is also the goal of Doncic calling for Pelinka to strengthen after joining the Lakers.
In addition, after the Lakers refused to trade for 4 for 1 due to "health reasons", Ma Wei performed very well in the second half of the season, and the Lakers exposed huge inside shortcomings in the playoffs, which inevitably led to the failure of this deal.
However, Luoyang media "lakeshowlife" believes that it is not a pity to refuse to bet on high-risk health issues, and has published three major candidates.

Goal 3: Pope (high risk, high return)
If the Lakers are willing to accept the risk of injury, Pope is obviously a better inside reinforcement target than Mark Williams. As the champion inside, Pope is a typical "high risk, high return" reinforcement option.
After the Celtics lost to the Knicks in the Eastern Conference semi-finals this season, they are trapped by the tight salary issues and are likely to sell many core players including Posses and Ju Holiday.
If the Lakers can accept his high risk of injury, then the Pokémon is currently at a low point in trading value. The Lakers are expected to get a bargain for basic salary. As long as the Pokémon can make a healthy appearance, his space-based style is perfect for Doncic and James.

Goal 2: Kessler (realistic choice)
The Lakers have repeatedly regarded Kessler as one of the inside reinforcement goals, because he is a reliable defensive core and inside gate.
This season, he averaged 2.4 blocks per game and was second only to Wenban Yama League. At the same time, he averaged 4.6 frontcourt rebounds per game, with an overall shooting percentage of up to 66.3%, and a penalty area finishing efficiency of up to 77%.
Plus he is only 23 years old, and the timeline is also in line with the Lakers' plan to build a team around Doncic. The only problem is that Kessler's athletic ability is relatively limited and he cannot fully utilize Doncic's passing ability. In addition, he is almost the most perfect and realistic goal of the Lakers to strengthen the inside.

Goal 1: Jaylen Durham (ideal goal)
According to the famous reporter of The Athletic, Jovan Buha, the Lakers asked about the possibility of trading Jaylen Durham before getting Marquis on the trade deadline, but were rejected by the Pistons.
With the offseason coming, Pelinka should of course pursue Jaylen Durham again, because the latter's blocking, defense, pick-and-roll, all-in-one threats, rebounding protection and stealing abilities are perfectly in line with the needs of the Lakers.
However, after further transformation and growth in the playoffs this season, the Pistons are likely to not send him away. The possibility of the Lakers getting him is slim, so it can only be regarded as an ideal goal. After all, getting him is not realistic.
