The Lakers have performed well overall this season, with a 14-10 record in 24 regular season games, ranking 6th in the West, and averaging only 113 points per game1 point, conceding an average of 112 points per game, and the offensive scoring ability is average. The Lakers have not performed well on the road this season, with only 4 wins and 8 losses in 12 away games so far, which is far from enough for a team competing for a championship, and the team still needs to further complete the roster to make up for it!U.S. media: 6-for-1 trade**, Siakam will join, Raptors rebuild.
According to the American media "Bleachers", Pelinka intends to introduce the Raptors' championship forward Siakam to help Zhan Mei and the two better impact the championship;In order to get him Pelinka, a 6-for-1 trade plan has been prepared, so let's take a look at the situation
The Lakers sent Russell + Hachimura + Schifino + 2026 swap rights + 2028 swap rights + 2030 first-round pick to get Siakam of the Raptors.
For the Lakers, in order to win the championship, the team can only make reinforcements, and the chips sent by this deal are very sincere, in the overdraft future, so how about getting players, the Lakers' current urgent need to strengthen the interior, and Siakam's near-perfect performance in the past few seasons when he played the small No. 5 position, as well as excellent defense, he can reduce the defensive pressure on the two and improve the Lakers' wing defense;This deal is fully worth considering for the Lakers, Siakam is a player who has proven himself in the Finals, and can play the role of a three-in-command next to James Mei, raising the Lakers' interior advantage to the extreme, averaging 20 per game this season7 points 68 rebounds 49 assists and 1 steal, shooting 497%, the performance is very good, if it can be achieved, the Lakers can form a starting lineup of Vincent + Siakam + Prince + James + thick eyebrows, this lineup will be the league's top lineup on both offensive and defensive ends, so that the team can better compete for the championship.
For the Raptors, even if the team is bad this season, this deal sent Siakam, but the chips are quite good, first of all, Russell + Hachimura + Schifino are three very, very impromptu players, which can enhance the strength of the team, and this deal also gets 3 draft picks, and the team can also further complete the roster reinforcement and make the team rise quickly.
Overall, this deal is very good for both teams, so whether it can be finalized is open to discussion!
