Three-party big deal! The Lakers hollow out the future and exchange for dual cores, Anji takes the draft pick feast

US media "Basketball" Forever recently released a shocking bombshell: Details of the three-party trading simulation plan of the Lakers, Celtics and Jazz are exposed, and their chip scale and strategic ambitions are astonishing:

Lakers appear: Reeves, Vincent, Kneckett, Milton, 2025 No. 55 pick, 2027 first round of protection, 2031 first round of

Lakers win: Derek White (Celtics), Kessler (Jazz), Celtics 2025 The 32nd pick in 202012 Celtics won: Reeves + Vincent (Lakes), Lakers No. 55, Jazz 2031 second round pick

Jazz got: Kneckett + Milton (Lakes), Lakers 2027 first round (the first four protections were cancelled), Lakers 2031 first round, Celtics 2031 second round pick

This 6-for-2 transaction is a lineup strengthening, but in fact it is a sprint that Lakers management has laid down in the next ten years.

This deal is undoubtedly a life-and-death bet for the Lakers. White averaged 15.2 points and 5.2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was better than Reeves' 32.1%, which theoretically could liberate Doncic to focus on offense; Kessler's 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds and 2.4 blocks, which directly pointed to the Lakers' weakness in losing points in the penalty area. On paper, this is a "defensive dual core" tailored for James and Doncic.

But the price is really shocking. First, the future assets are cleared. In 2027 (the top four protections) and the first round of 2031 picks are almost overdrafted and rebuilding chips. Especially in the first round of 2031, James is likely to become a lottery pick after retirement. Secondly, the lack of rotation of Rivers and Vincent's teams is very bad. After Reeves (15.8 points and 5 assists) left the team, he replaced him. The supplementary score is expected to plummet by 30%. Although Hachimura Ai did not make it clear, he may sacrifice his life simultaneously for salary balance. Kessler and White's health is not optimistic. Kessler missed 58 games in the past two seasons, White's risk of injury increased at the age of 32-year-old - if the dual cores fall, the Lakers will collapse instantly. The nightmare of Westbrook's trade to send Kuzma + Pope + the first round has not yet disappeared. If this big bet fails, the Lakers may fall into the bottomless abyss in 2030.

The Celtics are very smart and crafty after Tatum's Achilles tendon to tear, and the Celtics are looking for offensive firepower. Reeves' ability to hold the ball temporarily can temporarily take over the core, and Vincent's expiration contract + 2.7 million cash compensation will reduce the burden on his salary. The Jazz did not lose money, and accepted two first-round picks with a smile, which also allowed the Jazz to hold 11 first-round picks in 7 years and directly sounded the reconstruction horn.

This is the last madness of the LeBron era. If White and Kessler are healthy, the dual-core defensive system can indeed allow the Lakers to return to the championship echelon; but overdrawing the first round of 2031 is like a mortgaged coffin. Once it fails, the "post-James era" will become a laughing stock in the league. The Celtics traded White for Reeves as a typical "injury emergency response", but the fuse of the locker room bomb has been ignited. If Brown and Reeves compete for power and internal friction, the Celtics may have disintegrated early before Tatum returns.

, and the Jazz created another textbook case of Anji's cold-blooded plunder. When the Lakers were addicted to the dream of superstars, the Jazz used Kessler to pry two first-round picks, and the terrifying reserves of 11 first-round rounds in the next seven years made the road to reconstruction of Salt Lake City smooth. There were only two bullets left in the Lakers' gun chamber: White's health and Kessler's growth. And Anji's draft pick harvester has been started on the ruins.
