Lake Records revealed that Clarkston was successful: US media simulated 4-for-3 plans and signed another substitute for 5.7 million

On June 13, Lakers reporter Anthony Lawn revealed that Clarkston will become the most likely center candidate for the Lakers to win in the trading market this summer. The Lakers management and Nets management traded to Finney Smith last summer. Pelinka liked to work with a fixed trading team. All signs indicate that Clarkston's transfer path is the smoothest. If any center wants to transfer to the Lakers, my answer must be Clarkston.

Clarkston is a 6-foot-11-bare center. He played 70 games last season, averaging 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 0.89 steals and 1.43 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 56.4%. He is tall and has a long arms, and is an extremely athletic. He is the blue-collar inside player that the Lakers need. He is perfectly adapted to Doncic.

Lakers simulated trading plan - Nets get: Kneckett, top five protection for the first round of picks in 2031, Klebel, Vincent;

Lakers get: Clarkston, Keane Johnson, and the Nets' second round in 2026. After this deal, the Lakers not only got a starting No. 5 position, but also got a 1.93-meter-high bench breakup.

In addition, the Lakers' most easily obtained center candidate in the free market is Clint Capela. He no longer has a position in the Hawks, and competitor executives have made it clear that Capela has lost the ability to start the center, and his net worth has plummeted as he was thrown into the Hawks' substitute. The Lakers can introduce him with a mini middle class of 5.7 million.

In other words, the trade got Clarkston as the team's starting No. 5 position and signed Capela as a substitute for 5.7 million. In this way, the Lakers' weakest No. 5 position completely dissipated.
