On June 29, the NBA is currently entering the offseason, and the most news at this time is the rumors of player trading. The Lakers are very concerned by the outside world. The team was eliminated early in the playoffs, so the lineup will definitely be adjusted in the future. The Lakers' lineup problem is obvious, that is, there is one less center forward, and the team is conducting trade negotiations for this. However, bad news came, and some media reported that it was more difficult to introduce centers.

Lakers reporter Anthony F. Irwin talked about the team's introduction of centers not long ago. He said that now all teams know that the Lakers "need to" a center, so they asked for more assets.

In other words, the league teams know the Lakers' dilemma and want a suitable center. Given the urgency, these teams asked the Lakers to increase their chips in exchange, which undoubtedly made the Lions' big talk and increased the difficulty of signing.

There are many rumors about the Lakers. As for the trade to get the chips for the center, Knector, the No. 17 pick last year, was the main player, and he should also have some draft picks and players who have equal salary.

In February last year, the Lakers once completed a deal with the Hornets, using Kneckett, Reddish, the 2031 unprotected first-round pick and Mark Williams in 2030. But later Ma Wei was found to have problems during the physical examination, so the Lakers returned the goods and Kneckett also returned to the Lakers. If Kneckett is traded again next, it will be embarrassing.

The most rumored centers in the market are Capela, Kessler, Daluo and others. If the Lakers do not have good bargaining chips and the outside world's hype, it will be difficult to sign up.
