Quasi-DPOY joins the Lakers with a buzzer! The Lakers ultimate puzzle is in place, Dong Zhan welcomes the strongest helper

In this offseason, on the NBA stage, the subtle relationship between the Lakers and James has undoubtedly become the core focus of the attention.

From the current situation, James, who is 40 years old, is no longer within the long-term blueprint carefully drawn by the Lakers. On the Lakers, they will not rashly send James away, showing basic respect for past glory and merit.

But at the same time, he will not actively renew his contract with him, as if he is weighing the pros and cons of future development. They just waited quietly for James and his team to respond, and the two sides were in a stalemate and it was difficult to easily break this dilemma in the short term.

However, there is one thing that is beyond doubt that in the core architecture system carefully built by the Lakers in the future, James' name may no longer be listed.

The cornerstone of the team is undoubtedly European Magician Doncic; in fact, after being eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves, general manager Pelinka and head coach Redick met with Doncic many times to seek his advice and opinions, and conduct signing operations on this basis.

So, we can see that the Los Angeles Lakers have repeatedly improved their draft picks and selected Thiero with the No. 36 pick; afterwards, after the free market gate opened, the Purple and Gold Army signed 2018 No. 1 pick Ayton and wing forward Laravic. However, the Los Angeles Lakers' operations did not stop.

According to Lakers' team reporter Dan Woike, an insider revealed that Lakers' general manager Pelinka has been making frequent and active actions in the free market recently. There are signs that the Lakers are about to sign Okogie and will recruit him with a veteran's basic salary contract.

For the Lakers, Okogi is a rare talented player. He has excellent personal abilities and extremely rare multi-position adaptability, and is capable of multiple positions on the court. At present, the Lakers have exposed more obvious problems in the wing defensive stage, which has affected the team's overall defensive performance to a certain extent.

And Okoji is like a precisely adapted "screw", his versatile qualities seem to be tailor-made to solve this problem of the Lakers. Once he joins the team, he will be able to fill the team's key loopholes on the defensive end in a timely and effective manner. In this way, the Lakers will be more resilient and confident in defense, and their overall defensive performance will become more stable and reliable.
