Chapter 391: The lineup is confirmed

After the success of the Lakers' recruitment, the strength of the team has also increased, at least the strength of the defensive end, especially the strength of the interior defense, has been further strengthened. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now everyone in the league is staring at the Lakers, wanting to see what kind of lineup the Lakers will come up with in the end, a purely defensive lineup? Or is it an offensive and defensive type of lineup?

After the half-orc Farid arrives at the Lakers, he definitely needs to start as the main team, and the Lakers' starting interior combination next season will definitely be Sun Dahei and Farid, a luxurious interior defensive combination.

In addition to these two interior starters, the Lakers will definitely need to find three or four interior benches, and the Lakers currently have four interior players left: Mozgov, Randle, Zubac and Llarinance Jr.

Mozgov and Randle are the ones to trade for the next round, and once the Lakers find the right buyer, they will definitely be packaged and sold! In this way, the Lakers' current bench interior is only Zubac and Larry Nance Jr.

Both of them are very new newcomers, and the Lakers can't expect them to take on the interior of the bench, so they need to find another veteran center or power forward, preferably an experienced veteran.

However, looking for a veteran insider, this job is not in a hurry, and when the Lakers lineup is really perfect, perfect enough to make the whole league feel that the Lakers are a strong championship contender, there will definitely be many veterans who want to win the championship to take the initiative to join.

For example, David West of the Warriors and David Lee of the Spurs, the reason why they joined the Warriors and Spurs with such a low salary is mainly because they are optimistic about the prospects of the two teams to win the championship, and once the Lakers show the strength of the championship-winning lineup, they will definitely get high-quality veterans like David West or David Lee.

The Lakers' interior has now basically been resolved, and it's time for Lakers management to have a headache with the backcourt.

There is no doubt that Sun Dahei is the leader of the Lakers' frontcourt, and the leader of the backcourt is naturally Chris Paul.

At present, the Lakers have a lot of swingmen at the front, and after sending Luhrdeng out, there are also Ingram, Josh Jackson, Vince Carter, Nick Young, Corey Brewer, and the number of swingmen at the front guard is as high as five!

However, these swing guards can only play the point guard position, and they can't play point guards, or even if they do, it is difficult to play the role that point guards should play.

It can be said that Chris Paul has become the only point guard on the Lakers' current roster! There is also a guard in the Lakers lineup, Jordan Clarkson, although he was a point guard in the draft, but in recent years, his position with the Lakers is actually a point guard, and his performance in the point guard position is also obvious to all.

……

It's September, and the preseason is getting closer and closer, and the Lakers are currently thinking about how to sell Mozgov's last garbage contract, and even Magic Johnson has personally stepped in to contact his old friends to find a way out for Mozgov.

Speaking of which, Mozgov's strength is not bad, with an average of 20 minutes of playing time per game, he can contribute 7.5 points and 5 rebounds, which can be regarded as a qualified backup center, but considering that the contract amount of this goods is too large, plus Sun Dahei is here, he has to share the playing time with Zubac every game, and he will only play ten minutes at most in a game......

Playing for ten minutes and getting 16 million dollars, this cost performance is too low and too low.

However, in those teams where the interior line is scarce, Mozgov can still use it, and the key is that now the Lakers are trading Randle and Mozgov in a package, which is absolutely great value for those teams that lack the interior line.

In the end, among the offers made by various teams, the Lakers and the Indiana Pacers reached a deal, and the Lakers sent Mozgov and Randle to the Indiana Pacers for Thaddeus Young and his younger brother Lance Stephenson.

The Pacers made a lot of money on this deal, they got Randle, a quasi-All-Star level power forward, and Thaddeus Young is currently difficult to play in the Pacers' roster, and Lance Stephenson, another addition, was newly signed late in the regular season.

Speaking of which, the big name of Thaddeus Young, fans will certainly not be unfamiliar, a forward has 15 points and 9 rebounds in his peak season is still really good, but last season in the Pacers data shrank a lot, only 10 points and 6 rebounds scored, not that his competitive state has declined, he is still very young, the same age as Farid, only 29 years old this year, it is the golden peak of the player! The reason for the shrinkage of the stats is the decline in the Pacers' tactical position, which rarely gets shots, and is mainly used as a defensive spearhead.

Of course, Thaddeus Yang is really famous because he annoyed Sun Dahei last season, and was completely blocked by Sun Dahei, and he didn't even get a gross data in normal games, and that battle made Thaddeus Yang really famous......

Now, knowing that he is about to be traded to Sun Dahei's Lakers, Thaddeus Young initially refused...... He completely had a shadow on Sun Dahei, and even thinking about Sun Dahei's vicious eyes and the scene of KO Cui Hongwan, he shuddered a little, and was very afraid that he would annoy Sun Dahei in the Lakers.

However, after the enlightenment of the Pacers management, he relaxed and changed his mind, and if he was definitely on the same team as Sun Dahei, it didn't sound like a bad thing, at least he wouldn't have a scene where Sun Dahei completely blocked himself on the court in the future......

As for the other addition, Lance Stephenson, nicknamed "Senior Brother", has a nickname "The First Zhan Blowing in History"!

He's Zhan Blowing, is he really blowing......

Blow in the ears of Emperor Zhan......

In their opinion, in the next few years, the East will definitely still be the world of LeBron James, and if the Lakers embark on the road to winning the championship, they will definitely meet with Zhan Huang's Cavaliers in the finals, and the biggest Zhan in history will play some unexpected roles...... At the very least, it can disgust LeBron James......

Besides, the strength of his younger brother Stephenson is still very good, and he once led the league with a triple-double in a season! Of course, at that time, Wei Shao and Harden were not so buggy.

In addition, his contract is very cheap, only 12 million for three years, with Stephenson's strength, this contract is still relatively valuable.

……

After the two big garbage contracts of Ruhr Deng and Mozgov were thrown off, the Lakers uniform team suddenly felt relaxed, and the big stone in their hearts was finally removed, and they could have more energy to start thinking about the fine polishing of the Lakers lineup.

The current tentative lineup of the Lakers: Inside: Sun Dahei, Farid, Larynnance Jr., Zubac. A total of about 40 million salaries are consumed!

Frontguards: Chris Paul, Ingram, Josh Jackson, Nick Young, Vince Carter, Thaddeus Young, Jordan Clarkson, Corey Brewer, Tzu Shiping, Lance Stephenson. A total of about $86 million in salaries was consumed.

The current Lakers roster has a total of 14 people, and a total of $126 million in salaries is consumed! However, when the right time is found, the Lakers will definitely use a knife against Corey Brewer, and they can save about 8 million salary space, reducing the total salary to less than 120 million.

After excluding Brewer, the Lakers still have 13 players left on the roster, two spots away from the 15-man roster, and if Zubac is not put on the roster, there are still three spots left.

These last two or three spots are intended to be used by the Lakers to bring in experienced veterans. After all, there are too many newcomers in the current Lakers roster, and more veterans are needed to teach them experience.

When the lineup after the Lakers changed blood was presented to the world, it caused a panic in the whole league! The Lakers' roster is a little too scary, and it's clear that they're aiming for a championship this season!

Last season, the Lakers' fifteen-man roster, this season can only see 6 people, and the remaining nine people were all cut or traded by the Lakers! This is a real rebirth, and it is rare in history to see a super rebuild of this magnitude.

The most terrifying thing is that after removing Vince Carter and Ci Shiping, the overall lineup of the Lakers is extremely young!

Sun Dahei in the inside line is a young mess, the youngest player in the league, and he will be the inner hegemon who can rule the league for at least fifteen years in the future! Zubac and Llarinance Jr. are also young enough, both of them are just emerging at the age of twenty, and judging from the current situation of the two, they can at least grow into qualified main rotation substitutes!

And the half-orc Farid, although he is as old as Big Ben, is less than thirty years old, and there are at least five years left to play in the future.

In terms of the forward line, Chris Paul's age is not young, but the point guard position is all getting older and more demonic, with Paul's competitive state, there will be absolutely no problem with playing an average of 30 minutes per game in the next three years, otherwise the Clippers management is not brain-dead, crying and shouting and begging Chris Paul to renew their five-year contract with 200 million!

And Ingram and Josh Jackson, both of whom have been rookies in the past two years, once they can play the data that meets their draft picks, then the Lakers are really invincible.

As for the others, Nick Young is slightly older, 32 years old this year, like Thaddeus Young, Lance Stephenson, and Clarkson are all twenty years old, which is the year of fighting!

The starting lineup of the Lakers next season has not yet been determined, but it can be seen from the current 13-man roster that the Lakers' lineup is extremely impressive in terms of depth and thickness!

According to the prediction of the current lineup, the Lakers' starting lineup is likely to be center Sun Dahei, power forward Farid, small forward Thaddeus Young, scoring guard Ingram, and point guard Chris Paul.

Just looking at the starting lineup, the Lakers' starting lineup may not look as luxurious as the brave horse, after all, they are at least the Big Three, and the Lakers' starting lineup can really be called giants, only Sun Dahei and Chris Paul.

However, the defense of Farid and Thaddeus Young is definitely the level of the league's first line, all of them are in the top 50, plus the historical defender Sun Dahei, the Lakers' defensive level in the frontcourt is definitely better than any team!

The defense up front may not look so impressive with Ingram and Chris Paul at the back, but the defense of these two is definitely above the standard.

Although Ingram is thin, his height and arm span are extremely good, and it is difficult to find his height and arm span on the guard line, after all, he is nicknamed Durant Jr., and he also trained with Sun Dahei this offseason, but he mainly trains strength and weight gain, and his physique has improved a lot, at least now it doesn't look as weak as last season.

I believe that in the next season, Ingram will have a very obvious improvement on both the offensive and defensive ends!

And Chris Paul, some fans say that Chris Paul is a defensive black hole ......? It's like saying that Sun Da can't beat Curry single-handedly under the basket, and it's ridiculous.

The nicknames of "Dirty Luo" and "Dirty Cannon" are not casually said, Chris Paul's defense is very difficult, although his height is not dominant, but Chris Paul has a strength advantage against general point guards, like Curry of the Warriors, Parker of the Spurs, and Irving of the Cavaliers......

There is only one De Xiaopang, this is Chris Paul's lifelong injury, and his usual strength advantage has become a disadvantage in front of De Xiaopang......

……

The Lakers' starting lineup, in terms of defense, will definitely become the strongest defensive team in the league next season, and the average per game will definitely reach a very low level!

But this lineup also has a drawback, that is, the attack ability is not good......

On the inside, there is no need to worry too much about having such a very stable attack point as Sun Dahei, and the outside line gives Wharton Jr. a headache, Thaddeus Young's attack ability can only be regarded as average, not outstanding, Ingram's current situation is unknown, and further observation is needed, Chris Paul's projection is very stable, but you expect him to cut three or four points a game to save the game, with the current state of Chris Paul, it is difficult to do......

At present, the Lakers can only use this starting lineup for the time being, waiting for the gradual growth of newcomers.

Fortunately, despite the lack of offensive power in the starting lineup, the Lakers' bench lineup is full of firepower, and there are too many big players who can go on the court to chase points, and the Lakers still have two or three roster spots, and they can continue to strengthen in the future!
