The Lakers first deal was completed! The chain of transactions finally paid off, and the defensive gate assisted James Doncic

Today is the day for the second round draft picks of each team. Those teams that do not have a first round draft pick this year can choose young people who are satisfied with today.

The popularity of the second round draft day is obviously much lower than that of the draft day, after all, the overall talent and potential of the newcomer is much worse.

However, there will be some leftovers in the second round pick, and the key is whether each team has a vision of discovery. Jokic, Mengmeng Green, Ginobili, Parker and others are all second-round picks.

As long as you have unique vision, you won’t be afraid of having a good meal.

The highly anticipated Los Angeles Lakers have no first-round pick this year. They finally got the chance to take action on this second-round draft day today. On June 27, the Lakers improved their draft pick through a deal, thus bringing back a second round pick that satisfies them.

At the 2025 draft, famous reporter Shams revealed that the Timberwolves traded the No. 36 sign to the Lakers, and the Lakers chose 1.99-meter forward Adu Tiero.

The Lakers gave out cash and the No. 45 draw.

According to previous reports, the Lakers' No. 45 draw was obtained with No. 55 draw + cash.

In other words, the Lakers used a chain of transactions to select Adu Tiero, first using cash and draft picks to improve the pick, making the draft pick 45th place. Then use cash sign No. 45 to upgrade to sign No. 36. Pelinka has done a lot of effort in this regard.

The Lakers' selection Adu Tiero is not tall, only 1.99 meters tall, and is a short and strong forward. His technical characteristics are that he has no shooting, but he has fierce defense and excellent strength, and he is a bit like the Lakers' Vanderbilt.

However, like Vanderbilt, the player Adu Tiero has no range. Before the draft begins, it is predicted that it may become a space black hole in the field. The Lakers chose him, maybe because they were more optimistic about his defense.

Let's see what the fans say:

—Congratulations to the Lakers for winning Adu

—Don't treat Adu to be Adu

—This is like Van Debiao, a defensive player, but there is no shooting at all—The Lakers Warriors' two major traffic teams do not like big players. What is the reason?

—Can 1.99 meters be called a forward? These jokes from

fans undoubtedly show that they are still very dissatisfied with Pelinka's operation this offseason.

Before the draft began, many trades were born in the league, and one-third of the teams involved in the trade, but the Lakers still had no movement.

Lakers fans waited for a long time, but they did not see the Lakers completing a heavyweight deal. In the end, they made a small fuss and only exchanged for a No. 36 draw. Although the player selected by Adu Tiero has certain functionality, it can bring defensive help to James and Doncic. However, you can't expect him to be an important puzzle to change the team.

What's more, in recent years, the Lakers have never valued rookies very much. Knector played so well in the first round of last season's No. 17 pick, and lost his playing position in the second half of the season. A second-round pick like Adu Tiero may only look at the water dispenser most of the time with the Lakers.

Of course, it is better than not. What if Adu Tiero can play a player like Mengmeng Green? There should always be dreams.

As for whether Pelinka will be operated in the future, we will wait and see.
