The Lakers want to steal Adams, and the Rockets have little hope of keeping Aquaman, and many teams want it

On June 5, according to the famous sports platform TA, Adams is an unrestricted free agent and is likely to be poached by a playoff team like the Lakers. After the Lakers traded Davis Davis, the team's inside line became the biggest weakness, and the management wanted to strengthen this part in the offseason. Currently, the Lakers are targeting Clarkston, Capela, Gafford and Turner, and now Adams is included in it.

Adams, who played for the Rockets last season, played very well in the playoffs, which made many teams start to pay attention to the veteran again. It is understood that the Lakers had asked the Rockets to inquire about Adams on the trading deadline in February, but the Rockets refused to trade Adams. The Rockets themselves also need a center substitute, not to mention that Adams performed very well at the time. After experiencing the playoffs, the Rockets did not want to give up Adams. However, many people think that the Rockets cannot keep Adams because many teams have set their sights on Adams.

The Rockets need to raise Adams' salary to retain Adams unless they can win the championship to keep Adams. However, the Rockets, Jabbarry Smith Jr. and Ethan are both qualified to renew their contracts in advance, and Van Jordan and Dillon also need to deal with it, so it is much more difficult to keep Adams. Adams' rebounding ability and high-quality screening ability are more important to the Lakers, not to mention that they also have very good frontcourt rebounding ability.

For Adams, the Lakers have a ball-holding core like James and Doncic, which will make his work easier. After all, Adams has worked with Westbrook, who is also a ball-holding core. Compared with the Rockets, many people are optimistic that the Lakers are more likely to win the championship, because it may be James' last season, and the Lakers management may make a gamble.
