25.6 million in 1 year! 58 million in 2 years! The Lakers are facing happiness and troubles, and the decision is in the hands of Doncic

Who will the Lakers trade for this summer?

There is still a lot of uncertainty at the moment, but it is basically a foregone conclusion that Hachimura's departure.

Explanation point 1: That is, combat power. In the playoffs, Hachimura's real shooting rate was 63.4%. In comparison, Antetokounmpo 65.1%, Leonard 63.0%, and Curry 63.6%. It is true that 11.4 shots per game are not as big as the super giant sample, but at least it means that Hachimura can effectively grasp it when the opportunity arises.

Explanation point 2: Contract. In 23, Hachimura and the Lakers reached a three-year, 51 million contract renewal, and this summer will usher in a one-year, 18 million contract expires.

Of course, there are Vincent and Claybel contracts in the Lakers, but if you add the first point, it is obvious that Hachimura Shizuo has the highest cost-effectiveness. Potentially, the Lakers will definitely ask for Hachimura Shizuo, who is in the contract year and has both good ending efficiency.

What does losing Hachimura mean to the Lakers?

First, Hachimura averaged 4.2 three-point shots and a shooting rate of 41.3% in the regular season. As a comparison:

1, Finney Smith's three-pointer rate was 39.8%;

2, Doncic's three-pointer rate was 37.9%;

3, Reeves' three-pointer rate was 37.7%.

Secondly, Hachimura accounts for 34.6% of the opponent's shooting less than 6 feet, limiting the opponent's shooting rate by 61.7%. As a comparison:

1, Finney Smith limits the opponent's shooting rate by 61.4%;

2, James's value is 64.4%;

3, Vanderbilt's value is 65.2%.

To sum up two points, losing Hachimura Shizuo for the Lakers lost the team's top scorer and relatively good basket protectors in the front line.

From another perspective, the Lakers used Hachimura to trade either to exchange for pitchers with space attributes or to a forward with a basket protection level. Otherwise, it would be to tear down the east wall and repair the west wall. Of course, in my opinion, Doncic has a lot of decision-making power to exchange for what type of player to do.

Reason: Determine the core. Since joining the Lakers, Doncic has a round usage rate of 34.5%. In comparison, James 30.1% and Reeves 23.7%. Obviously, Doncic has replaced James as the core of the Lakers' decision. Since it is the absolute core, there is a say in the types of players who stay or stay and new players.

In addition, we cannot ignore one thing-Doncic has not completed the renewal. Potentially, if you don’t “coax” or even go against it, Mingxia will have the possibility of running away.

Meanwhile, according to the NBA China official website, John Collins has implemented the player option worth 25.6 million in the last year. Another report pointed out that the Lakers and the Heat have negotiated with Wiggins. It is worth mentioning that Wiggins has two years and 58 million contracts.

Explanation point: Collins. The three-pointers in the past two seasons have been 37.1% and 39.9%, and the career three-pointers in the past two seasons are 36.3%. Combined with the height of 206, it obviously has very good spatial attributes.

Explanation point: Wiggins. The shooting rates of less than 6 feet in the past three seasons are 60.2%, 62.4% and 61.6% respectively. Compared with the inside line, it has a certain level of protection.

Space attributes and basket protection level, isn't this the type of player the Lakers gave up Hachimura and hoped to take back! Based on this, in my opinion, the Lakers are facing happiness and troubles.

Reason 1: Feasibility of reaching a transaction. Considering that the Jazz are rebuilding the team and Wiggins doesn't have much demand for the Heat, the Lakers are very likely to trade to Collins or Wiggins.

Reason 2: Bargaining chips. Due to limited chips, the Lakers can only trade one of Collins or Wiggins.

Therefore, happiness and worries can be understood as the Lakers are expected to reach a deal with limited chips, but they can only choose one of Collins and Wiggins. The different characteristics of the two are very suitable for the Lakers.

Of course, it is still the same sentence. As the absolute core of the team, the final decision of whom is in the hands of Doncic. As for the final result, let's wait and see.
