After winning the No. 1 center Ayton, the Lakers have a considerable advantage in the size and height of the inside, and the offensive limit for the starting lineup is also quite high. After all, under the instigation of James and Doncic's ball-holding, the role players will have to eat and drink on the offense and will not fall into a scoring drought for a long time. But we may also ignore a point that when a team only has offense, it is impossible to win the championship, and it must achieve a balanced offense and defense in order to finally reach the top.
The Lakers have a very high offensive talent, but the defense on the outside is still almost the same. Especially after 3D Finney Smith left the team, he urgently needed a wing with balanced offense and defense to supplement it.
Isn't this? According to former Lakers reporter Jowan Buha, the Heat want to send small forward Wiggins to the Lakers with 1 for 3, but hope to get a first-round pick, Kneckett, and Hachimura from the Lakers, which is the bargaining chip that is expected to be exchanged.
At the same time, Jowan Buha also revealed that he is not sure whether Vincent, Claiber, Milton, and a first round can be exchanged for Wiggins. But what I heard is that the Heat still hope to remain competitive in the new season, so they also want to get the wing of Hachimura.
Wigkins became the bargaining chip of the Warriors' trade last season and played for the Heat. Although he left the Warriors, he averaged 19 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block in 17 games with the Heat. His shooting percentage was 45.8% and his three-point shooting percentage was 36%. Judging from the data and performance on both offense and defense, Wiggins' performance is no different from being with the Warriors.
From this point of view, this is not a very system-intensive player and can be used as a top three leader in a team.
If the Lakers can get this player, the pressure from James and Doncic will be released, and the Lakers will truly have a top outside leader, and the team's defensive level will also rise to a new level. However, the author believes that if the Lakers really want Wiggins, sending guard Reeves Jr. away is a strategy, and it is enough to show the Heat's sincerity. I wonder if the Heat management will be interested?
Of course, as the champion striker of the Warriors, many fans still look forward to Wiggins being able to return to the Warriors to play again. But according to reporter Siegel, multiple sources revealed that Wiggins is unlikely to be sent back to the Warriors in a potential Kumingga deal. Because according to the restrictions of the labor-management agreement, if Kumingga is sent away by signing first and then changing, his salary in the transaction can only be calculated as half of his actual salary, which will add considerable difficulty to potential transactions.
Of course, after 41-year-old James executed the player option, the Lakers' salary space was no longer much. The famous Skip of James said bluntly that 41-year-old James can't just get 20 to 30 million to enhance the Lakers' chances of winning the championship? At the same time, Suns reporter Gambadoro broke the news on the show, saying that he bluntly would tell whether James would be traded or bought out? I don't know very well, but the Lakers are happy to break up with him.
Another reporter Windhorst also revealed on the show that it is difficult to say whether James will live to the Lakers. Since Doncic's trade, James and the Lakers have had certain differences, and it is not impossible for James to be traded.
