The Lakers are unhappy! The starting center may leave the team, and the Hornets become the hottest next home

May 30th news, Bovada Official, a well-known American bookmaker, recently released a prediction on the whereabouts of free agents, which showed that the Charlotte Hornets are considered the hottest team to sign Los Angeles Lakers center Jaxson Hayes.

This prediction lists several teams interested in Hayes and their chances of "get" Hayes (the smaller the odds, the greater the chance):

Charlotte Hornets (+175): The most likely

Brooklyn Nets (+220)

New Orleans Pelicans (+285)

Toronto Raptors (+375)

Washington Wizards (+525)

Hayes is likely to leave the Lakers because he was not satisfied at the end of the season. According to previous reports by journalist Anthony Irwin, Hayes was disappointed with his role in the Lakers, especially in the playoffs. He felt that he had too few opportunities to play and became a marginal figure on the team. The more practical problem is that the sharp drop in playing time also means that he may have lost a lot of the bonus income he could have obtained.

Irving said: "The possibility of Hayes returning to the Lakers is very slim. To put it bluntly, he is very unhappy about sitting on the bench in the playoffs and making less money. From the Lakers, they are also considering several things: the new coach JJ Redick seems to have no trust in Hayes anymore, and if they find a new center in the summer, Hayes' position will definitely be in the back row. Whether he will get emotional is also a problem."

Looking back at Hayes' performance this season, he played a total of 56 games in the regular season. He averaged about 19 minutes per game, contributing 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.6 steals and close to 1 block (0.9). Judging from these data, he is a substitute center with certain contributions.

Simply put, it is: The Lakers' young center Hayes feels that he has fewer opportunities and less money in the team, and he is likely to leave in the summer. American bookmakers are most optimistic about him going to the Hornets, and the Nets, Pelicans and other teams are also on the roster.
