Goodbye Reeves? The Lakers will form the super three? This is what Doncic is willing to see

24-25 playoffs, Doncic made 104 shots, of which only 21.5% were from the defender being in a quasi-open space above 4 feet. Compared with the regular season 31.2%, it is a significant drop.

Why did Doncic's shooting difficulty surge in the playoffs?

In addition to being the absolute core enjoying due treatment - the Xinke MVP Alexander's first round against the Grizzlies accounted for 31.9% of the first round against the Grizzlies, the second round against the Nuggets accounted for 23.1%, and the Western Conference Final against the Timberwolves accounted for 20.5%. By comparison, Doncic's treatment is at a normal level.

Of course, it is also related to Reeves' poor performance. Let’s look at the group data:

① Edwards’ 26 minutes and 16 seconds in the match, with a shooting rate of 26.7%;

② McDaniels’ 9 minutes and 10 seconds in the match, with a shooting rate of 25.%;

③ Gobert’s 5 minutes and 03 seconds in the match, with a shooting rate of 33.3%.

Split data, the Timberwolves' three lines can give Reeves a good defensive strength.

Core treatment + Reeves' poor performance, so it is normal that Doncic's shooting difficulty surged. Will Reeves, who performed poorly in the playoffs, be traded by the Lakers?

For this, I think there is a high probability.

is very important. It is clear that Reeves will try the free agent market next summer and strive for a contract with an annual salary of 30 million.

In other words, the Lakers do not want to trade but have no choice. This is like the Raptors trading Siakam. It’s not that the former doesn’t want to stay, but that the latter’s big contract is not satisfied, so they trade it to the Pacers.

Based on this, the US media "FW" recommends that the Lakers, Suns and Hawks make a three-party transaction. Just for the Lakers, they sent Reeves and others to get Durant, Mann and Richards.

The Lakers Doncic + Durant + James' super giants?

From the perspective of age alone, I don't think this is possible.

does not deny that Durant already has the top level in the league, but the problem is that he is already 36 years old. In the final analysis, we cannot "grow" with Doncic.

But from a contract perspective?

As I just said, Reeves will definitely pursue a big contract tomorrow summer. Not to mention whether it is worth it or not, the price of 30 million alone is something the Lakers can’t give it. That being the case, why can't you try Durant?

Furthermore, from Doncic's perspective, I think I am willing to join Durant.

First, Durant also has no ball, which means he can share Doncic's ball holding pressure. From another perspective, Doncic + Durant can also form the effect of Curry + Durant when he has the threat of holding the ball.

Second, Durant has one year and a 54 million contract this summer, which means that if you can't make a bet for a year. To take a step back, even if you don’t trade tomorrow, you can basically not keep Reeves. In that case, why not try Durant, who is stronger in combat.

Finally, with Doncic's support, I think this potential deal is still very likely to be reached.
