The Lakers are leaving a way out in advance? Prepare to renew their contracts for two substitute centers. The 2+3 round pick does not have the NBA strength

Before the free market gates are opened, the teams have no way to sign new players, but the management can make plans in advance and figure out what their next job is. For the Los Angeles Lakers, the most important task in the offseason is probably to improve their inside strength. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful Luca Doncic and LeBron James are, it will be difficult to solve all problems.

Everyone thinks that the Lakers management will focus on solving the shortcomings in the inside this summer, but according to the relevant reports of the team reporter Yowan Buha, the Lakers may have a way out in advance. The management is preparing to renew the contract for two substitute centers, Trey Jamison and Christian Kloco, and of course it is very likely that only two-way contracts will be offered.

The key free market has not yet begun, and the Lakers are now anxious to stay in the bench center. It is questionable whether they have encountered great difficulties in the inside signing. After all, if they are confident of winning a strong center, there is no need to arrange a substitute now. Trae Jamison is very strong, but after all, he was a undrafted player, so before joining the Lakers, he played for three teams in two years, playing for the Wizards, Grizzlies and Pelicans. Since he is 25 years old now, in essence, Trey Jamison's potential and room for improvement are not that great, and the Lakers are just offering him a two-way contract. Of course, Trey Jamison is full of energy. Although he can only average 2.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game in data, he is deeply loved by his teammates and fans. Moreover, when Trey Jamison appeared, the Lakers' winning rate was outrageous, and he can be said to be a lucky player.

However, due to the two-way contract restrictions, Trey Jamison did not appear on the Lakers' playoffs list. Seeing Alex Ryan on the court, he had no effect at all, Jax Hayes was also targeted, and many fans could see how weak the Lakers' inside line was. But keeping Trey Jamison obviously cannot solve all the problems of the Lakers' inside line. At most, he can only be a substitute or occasionally a surprise soldier, which cannot be a conventional weapon.

As for Christian Kloko, it can be said that this former second-round pick does not have the NBA level strength. You should know that even in the Development League, Christian Kloco performed very well, and the data looked just like that. Not to mention returning to the NBA, he played 37 times in total last season, and averaged only 2.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.4 blocks per game. I'm afraid that if he changes a team, he will be unemployed at any time.
