Group three luxury giants to compete for the championship! Lakers and 76ers involved in 5-for-1 deals, and the 31-year-old center left the team

This season, the Lakers' total salary is as high as US$350 million, ranking first in the league. With two superstars, James and Doncic, as well as a group of powerful role players, the Lakers can be regarded as a luxury battleship. However, the high salary investment did not bring about matching results. The team was eliminated by the North opponent in the first round and was eliminated in a 4:1 way. This result is somewhat difficult to satisfy. In the upcoming offseason, if the team wants to achieve something next season, then it must strengthen the lineup.

In fact, the end of the first round of this season is caused by the following reasons: 1. Poor defense, lack of tacit understanding among players, often missing people and untimely repair and defense. 2. Excessive reliance on the personal abilities of James and Doncic, lack of effective tactical cooperation, and too single tactics. 3. Lack of reliable inside combinations. 4. Other young players, such as Hachimura, Vanderbilt, etc., failed to perform as expected. This series of problems is an important reason for the Lakers to stop in the first round. In response to this situation, the US media also planned a potential deal for it, which is as follows:

The Philadelphia 76ers won: Hachimura, Dorian Finney Smith, Gab Vincent, Maxiklebeer and 1 first-round draft pick (protected in 2030); Los Angeles Lakers won: Embiid

For the Lakers, they definitely hope to use the two major stars to attack the championship again. In this case, they must strengthen the lineup. So what about the players they get? Embiid has a strong body and excellent lower limb explosiveness and has strong scoring ability in the inside. With his height and physical advantages, he can easily score at the basket. At the same time, his outside shooting ability is also very excellent. As an inside player, he can control rebounds and block opponents' shooting, and has excellent defensive ability. His regular season average data is 27.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.7 blocks. As a two-time MVP candidate and top center, Embiid can significantly improve the Lakers' offensive and defensive shortcomings in the inside, forming a three-tier combination of "James + Embiid + Doncic", and the team has become the biggest favorite in the championship.

For the 76ers, the performance this season was disappointing, ranking 13th in the Eastern Conference with a record of 24 wins and 58 losses. The team lost many times, which led to this situation. The injury of the core players and the failure of the three giants to merge. Although it was a pity to give the Enderby in this deal, the chips given by the Lakers were very sincere. First of all, Hachimura can help the team on both offense and defense, averaged 13.1 points, 5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, with three fates. The field goal percentages are 50.9%, 41.3%, and 77%, respectively. Dorian Finney Smith has performed well on the offensive end, and is still young and has certain potential. He scored 8.7 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals in the season, and the shooting percentages of the three events were 44.8%, 41.1%, and 66.7%. As for the other two players, they also have a certain amount of combat power and can improve the depth of the substitute. In addition, they also got a first-round pick with very high value, 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!
