5.7 million in one year! The Lakers want to find a bargain again! Locking in the three centers

On June 11, Lakers' team reporter Jovan Buha talked about the direction of the Lakers' use of the Mini Middle Class Special ($5.7 million in 1 year) to sign ups during the offseason. Jovan Buha said: "As long as there are high-quality centers, the Lakers will quickly pick up the bargains. The high-quality centers I mentioned include Capela, Lopez and Adams."

Jovan Buha continued: "I think Capela is the best of the three. Although his athletic ability has declined, his finishing ability at the basket and rebounding ability are good. Adams' problem is that he can only play as a substitute. The problem of Daluo is that his pace is too slow and cannot fit the Lakers' defensive system, but his three-pointers can help the Lakers open up space."

The leader suddenly remembered a sentence: "I was also very distressed when I chose Tsinghua University or Peking University?" It is now 2025. Can the Lakers sign a good center with only $5.7 million in one year? Adams' original contract is $25.2 million for two years and expires this summer. The Rockets want to give him a three-year contract renewal of $42 million to $45 million.

One side is a three-year contract, with an average annual rate of more than 14 million, and the other side is only 5.7 million in one year. If you were Adams, what would you choose? Moreover, Texas does not have state taxes, and California has the highest state taxes in the United States, which is a lot of money. Capela's original contract was $90 million for five years, and it also expired this summer.

Capela will test the free market and leave the Hawks in the offseason. He was born on May 18, 1994, at the age of 31, he was in his battle, so it would be no problem to get another contract with an annual salary of 10 million yuan. Next, let’s talk about Lopez. The original contract of Daluo for two years is US$48 million, which will expire this summer. In addition to the Lakers, the Warriors are also chasing Daluo.

Dalou was born on April 1, 1988 and is at the end of his career at the age of 37. Compared with Adams and Capela, Dalow is most likely to accept the Lakers' mini middle class. The Bucks will not renew their contract with Daluo, mainly depending on what other teams offer Daluo. Nowadays, NBA players are no longer obsessed with big cities, and the Lakers are not a favorite to compete for the championship.

Finally, let's take a look at the data of these three centers. Adams played 58 regular season games, starting in 3 of them. He averaged 13.7 minutes per game, scored 3.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.5 blocks, and shot 54.5% from the field. He averaged 22.1 minutes per game in the playoffs, scoring 5.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.1 blocks, and his shooting percentage was 60%.

Capela played 55 regular season games this season, including 41 starting games. He averaged 21.4 minutes per game, scored 8.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1 block, and shot 55.9% from the field. The average score is the lowest in the past nine seasons and the lowest in the past eight seasons. Since late January, Capela has suffered from injuries and lost her starting position.

Lopez averaged 31.8 minutes per game in the regular season, scoring 13 points, 5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.9 blocks and 1.1 turnovers, with three shooting percentages: 50.9%, 37.3%, 82.6%. He averaged 14.8 minutes per game in the playoffs, scoring only 5 points, 1.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1 block, with three shooting percentages: 36.4%, 26.7%, and 100%.

1 year $5.7 million, do you think the Lakers can successfully find a bargain this time?
