Strengthen the center! Famous reporter: Doncic recommends the No. 1 pick in 2018, and the potential quotations are expected to achieve mutual wins

The Los Angeles Lakers this season have attracted much attention. The team introduced Doncic before the trading deadline and formed a super dual-core lineup with James. This operation undoubtedly added a lot of highlights to the Lakers' competition in the Western Conference, and the team's performance in the regular season did not disappoint fans. They ranked third in the Western Conference with a record of 50 wins and 32 losses into the playoffs, facing the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs. Both sides are strong and the opponent is young and energetic. It was originally expected that this would be a fierce showdown, but since the Lakers lost to their opponents 1:4, such a result is destined to be difficult to satisfy the team.

The reason why the team stopped in the first round this season was mainly because there were big problems in the inside line, especially after the team gave out the thick eyebrows, it did not effectively strengthen the inside line, which led to being targeted by the opponent in the playoffs, and the team had no power to fight back. In this case, it was reasonable to stop in the first round. Facing this dilemma, according to Lakers reporter Mike Bresnahan revealed that Doncic recommended the Trail Blazers center Ayton, hoping to get the No. 2 pick in 2018 and gave a potential trading plan. Let's take a look at the specific situation:

Lakers sent out Reeves, Vincent, Kneckett and the first round pick in 2031; Ayton got the Trail Blazers

For the Lakers, if you want to achieve something next season, the team can only strengthen it, and there is no better choice. Ayton has excellent physical fitness and a gentle feel at the basket, strong inside attack power, and can easily score at the basket. At the same time, it also has a certain mid-range and long-range shooting ability, which can expand the team's offensive space. On the defensive end, Ayton's height and wingspan gives him a natural advantage on the defensive end, which can effectively interfere with the opponent's shooting and rebounding, with an average of 14.4 points and 10.2 rebounds per game, and a shooting percentage of up to 56.6%. If the team can get Ayton, the team's inside problems will be qualitatively improved, and their strength will be stronger next season.

For the Trail Blazers, the current situation of the team is no longer a special need for Ayton. Leaving the team to exchange for chips that are more beneficial to the team is undoubtedly the best choice. So what if you get the chips? Reeves can not only launch pick-and-roll as the organizer of the ball, but also run without the ball and catch shots. He has a variety of scoring methods, including breakthroughs, throwing, mid-range and three-pointers, as well as good defensive abilities. The season averaged 19.1 points, shooting percentage of 45% from the field and 36% from the three-point shooting percentage. Knector has performed well on the offensive end, averaging 9.1 points and 2.8 rebounds, shooting percentage of 46.1% from the field, and shooting percentage of 37.6% from the three-point shooting percentage, which can improve the team's rotation depth. As for Vincent, he also has good combat power and can improve the team's substitute depth. In addition, this deal also got a first-round pick, which is also conducive to the team's better strengthening.

Overall, this deal is very good for both teams. If it can be finally reached, please feel free to discuss it in the comment section!
