Monk airborne Houston? Markanen assists James?

Former Lakers coach Scott said in an interview that this team is far from reaching the level of championship competition. Last season, Doncic gave up on defense only once he was passed by his opponent. As the star of a team, such a defensive attitude is difficult to lead the Lakers to the championship, even if he has top offensive talent. Scott then affirmed Doncic's efforts to lose weight this summer, but his attitude when facing the same problem is the key to testing whether he has made any real changes. In addition, the Lakers management's reinforcement work this summer is not satisfactory, and Ayton, Smart and Laravia cannot fundamentally improve the strength of the lineup. General Manager Pelinka needs to continue Taobao in the free agent market.

Recently, the US media "Fadeaway World" suggested that senior executives of four teams, the Lakers, Rockets, Kings and Jazz, will negotiate on a four-party transaction offer. If the negotiations go smoothly, Markanen will go to Los Angeles as he wishes, and assisting James and Doncic will allow him to regain his desire to win. The Rockets' goal is Monk, the strong contender for the league's best sixth man, and the Kings' management has no intention of retaining him. The specific trading plan is:

1. The Lakers send Austin Reeves + Hachimura Hiramura + Maxi Cleber + Dalton Kneckett + the 2029 Lakers first round pick (protected 1-6) to get Laurie Markanen;

2. The Rockets send Steven Adams + Jeff Green to get Malik Monk;

3. The Kings send Malik Monk to get Hachimura;

4. The Jazz send Laurie Markanen to get Austin Reeves + Maxi Cleber + Dalton Kneckett + Steven Adams + Jeff Green + 1 future protected first round pick.

If it were last summer, the Lakers management's offer would be a whimsical idea to get the 28-year-old All-Star inside Markkanen. But today is different from the past. Markkanen's performance last season was not satisfactory, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, contributing 19 points, 5.9 rebounds and 1.5 assists, and shooting percentage of 42.3%, which is the worst season he has ever played since joining the Jazz. In addition, Markkanen's annual salary soared from $17.26 million to $42.18 million, but the Jazz firmly sits as the deputy squad leader of the West, resulting in general manager Anji hoping to send him away as soon as possible, and rebuild at the same time as more young players and draft picks. Markkanen's personal ability is undoubtedly. What he is often criticized is that his attitude after receiving the maximum salary contract is not upright enough, his desire to attack, and his lack of determination and resilience to win.

James has worked with innumerable thorn players in his career, and he always has a way to make them devote all their energy to the game. Markanen is not a thorn. He has just been in the weak team for a long time and has become lazy in his mind. Los Angeles is in the spotlight, coupled with the supervision of James and Doncic, I believe Markanen will regain his best form. Monk averaged 31.6 minutes per game last season, contributing 17.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists. Rockets management is trying to increase offensive firepower in the second team by getting Monk, after all, there are almost no players on the bench with independent offensive capabilities. Adams' position can be replaced by Capela, who are both long-known blue-collar insiders in the league, and there are overlapping functions and functions.
