The Lakers were eliminated 1-4, it depends on what all parties say! Hayes is ready, and the lineup remains unchanged next season

6:17pm, 7 May 2025【Basketball】

The Lakers' journey this season has finally ended. This is good news and bad news. The bad news is that the Lakers achieved third place in the regular season and were eliminated in the first round. It is indeed not a good thing. The good news is that Redick really doesn't work, and the Lakers' lineup is also very deformed. Even after this round, it is not enough to support them to play to the finals, so there is nothing wrong with eliminating earlier. So what are the problems with the Lakers in this game? And what should I do next? Let’s see what all parties say.

Let's take a look at the game today. In fact, Redick was already in a hurry to seek medical treatment today. He abandoned Hayes in the whole game. Kleber, who had never heard of the news before, suddenly made a comeback. From these two aspects, Redick was completely helpless and began to be confused. From the first quarter of the game, Gobert did whatever he wanted at the basket. It can be seen that the Lakers had no rules at all. Both sides played a total of 5 games. Each game was basically the same routine and the same rhythm. It would be strange if they didn't lose. In contrast, the Timberwolves are not bright in the east and the west, and there are new tricks in every game. In terms of coaching, there is a clear gap between the two sides! So losing is also an inevitable result.

For the Lakers' performance today, the performance of this round of the series, and the future of the team, look at the players and media from all sides, what do professionals say?

1. Finney Smith, after this season, there may be a bad news for the Lakers, that is, Finney Smith, next season is the player option. It is hard to say whether to stay with the Lakers. In other words, Finney Smith may leave the Lakers next season, so this will be a big insult to injury for the Lakers. His salary next season is $15.38 million. To be honest, with the current market, it is really difficult to find someone better than him.

2. Hachimura Shizu, after the end of today's game, the Lakers' rebound was robbed. When talking about this, Hachimura Shizuo said that it was really difficult to play the No. 5 position. He is only 203cm tall and cannot fight Gobert. Speaking of this, I really admire the Warriors Green. He is only 198cm tall. It seems that he has never suffered a loss against any center in the league. Hachimura Shizuo performed well on the offensive end today, but he is really busy at all on the defensive end. Should the Lakers keep him next season?

4. Internet celebrity Tylil James, the Lakers were eliminated today, which is indeed very sad for his fans. After seeing the result, the Internet celebrity threw the chair wildly and was very angry. It is indeed a very sad day for Lakers fans, but it is nothing to think about it, after all, there is only one championship. So what if you play one more round of series? In the end, it is not going to be eliminated.

5. Ma Wei, seeing that the Lakers were eliminated from the group after losing today, Ma Wei also felt resentful. He posted a photo on Ins, which was attending the funeral. Seeing this, I really have to say that the Lakers' management is really not good. It's just a first-round draft pick. I can't bear to bear it. I think Ma Wei can play for four or five years at most. Oh my God, a first-round pick, do you want to get Antetokounmpo? No matter what Ma Wei does, he is much better than Hayes and Knector who can't play. From this round of the series, we can see that the score difference between the Lakers and the Timberwolves is very close, and there is only a little lacking. With Ma Wei, the Lakers can win.

6. Hayes, after today's game, Hayes also accepted an interview. Hayes was very helpless and said something, the team asked him to prepare, but he couldn't play. I don’t know what Redick thought, Hayes didn’t play, and Kneckett didn’t play. Could he only use players of James, Doncic, Rivers, and Hachimura? Vincent can't play for a few minutes, so if this continues, it will be useless to sign one player or two players this summer! It is hard to believe that the Lakers can find a better player than Vincent in the summer. So since Vincent can't play, can that player play?

7. Redick, today I saw Redick interviewing after the game. I really felt that he was really undercover. Redick said that the reason why he didn't need Hayes was because the team couldn't get points, and they were a few points away from the opponent every time. I really don't agree with his words. I just said that the Lakers led by 10 points in the fourth quarter in the last game. Isn't this called not getting points? You can't defend it. The game is over and I'm still talking about the team's inability to score points. What's the point of saying this? If you want to lose, you will definitely not get points. The score you can get is higher than the opponent. How can you lose?

8. O'Neal, he said something today, it can be said that killing people to kill their hearts. O'Neal said that the Lakers' current lineup will be maintained for a long time. In this summer, they will not make any changes. I have to say that O'Neal is really very familiar with his old club.

Overall, not only is the current situation not optimistic, but the future situation is not optimistic. First of all, the team wanted to make some moves this summer and found a player, but the problem is, just like in this round of series, Vincent cannot play and Hayes cannot play. Can the player he found be better than these players? So what's the use? In addition, what O'Neal said is the real finishing touch, and everyone knows the characteristics of the Lakers' management. Is there hope? It is best not to have hope.
