The Lakers are sold in three rotations? The substitute guard may become a victim, and the upper limit of the two insides is relatively low

Compared with last season, the Lakers' overall lineup depth has obviously improved a lot. However, the original rotation players are not so stable now, especially the Lakers' lineup, which is still not reasonable enough to be fair. If you want to make adjustments, since Doncic and James are quasi-non-sale products, other players will either not be able to sell them, or their salary is too low and they can only be added as a bonus. The operationality is really not high.

Therefore, the Lakers' original three rotations are more likely to be sold. Substitute guard Gabb Vincent may become a victim after experiencing lineup changes. The two inside substitutes Hachimura and Vanderbilt have obvious shortcomings, which leads to their upper limit being low, so they may also be used as bargaining chips to exchange for zero.

Geb Vincent signed a three-year contract with the Lakers. He was basically recovering from his injuries in the first season, and his performance was hard to describe, but in the past 24-25 seasons, Gaeb Vincent actually performed very well. Maybe the data is not obvious, but he is the most stable outside shooting among Lakers players, not to mention that Gabb Vincent's defense is indeed reliable. However, his performance in high-end games was not stable enough. The Lakers just so happened to introduce Smart this summer. Their roles were very similar. If there was a chance to strengthen other positions, then Gab Vincent would be decisively abandoned by the Lakers. As the starting fourth position, Hachimura Shizuki couldn't find any problems on the offensive end. In the series against the Timberwolves, he became the most capable helper around James and Doncic, and he was more like the third leader than Reeves. But as a power forward, Hachimura Shirata's defense and rebounding ability are the lastest in the same position, especially Hachimura Shirata's lateral movement speed and mobility, which looks even worse than James who is over 40 years old. This is really exaggerated. Considering that Hachimura Shirata's contract cost-effectiveness and value are at the highest point, the Lakers should also be willing to trade him for powerful players in other positions.

Another insider, Vanderbilt, actually looked at his entire career and started high and ended low. When Vanderbilt just joined the Lakers, he actually blocked Curry and Doncic, causing countless fans to shout that it was dawn. As a result, Vanderbilt has been frequently troubled by injuries since then, and his offense is really dragged down. As long as he stands outside the three-point line, he will be empty by his opponent, and he really cannot make a shot. Especially now in the Lakers' second team, there are many players who can be considered defensive players. Sending Vanderbilt away in exchange for players who are better at offense is actually a solution.
