Average of 3.9 points and 5.6 rebounds per game! 12.6 million per year! The Lakers choice is incomprehensible

Everyone knows that Pelinka is looking for a center this summer. There are two explanations for this.
Explanation point 1: Doncic. The 26th summer has the right to break out of the contract, but this summer has the right to renew the contract early after August 2. Obviously, the Lakers definitely don’t want to only use Luca for one and a half seasons with chips such as Thick Eyebrow and the first round. Potentially, for the latter, Pelinka has to find a suitable center.
Explanation point 2: Comparison. Currently, the Lakers have revealed that the centers who are interested include Kessler, Gafford, Clarkston, etc.
1. Kessler interfered with the opponent's 406 three-point shootings, limiting the opponent's shooting rate from 36.2% to 35.0%;
2. Goverd's three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-year three-
With all having excellent basket protection ability, Kessler is obviously more suitable for the Lakers. To be precise, it has the elasticity to replace, and the potential defense area is larger.
Speaking of this, one can't avoid a little bit of chips. In the middle of the 22-23 season, Anji took action when the entire league was unwilling to take over Westbrook's jokes. From this point of view, everything is OK as long as the chips are right, which is also in line with the characteristics of a business alliance.
Perlinka gave away the first round of 29 years in the transaction of Davis. It is true that there are still 31 years of first round, but the problem is that Doncic's existence is not that valuable. In other words, it is difficult for Pei to take out the bargaining chips that can "pick" Kessler this summer.
Speaking of this, something interesting is coming.
According to the US media "Basketball Forever", the Lakers have developed a strong interest in Adams.
The Lakers are going to chase Adams?
This seems completely unreliable to me or it is incomprehensible to people.
Reason 1: Data. In the regular season, Adams made 58 appearances per game per game.
For comparison:
1, Drummond averaged 7.3 points and 7.8 rebounds per game;
2, Hayes averaged 6.8 points and 4.8 rebounds per game;
3, Connett averaged 6.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game.
From this perspective, it is completely the level of the role player - probably the 8th or 9th man in the team.
Reason 2: Contract. Good news, Adams's contract worth 12.6 million was expired. Bad news, he will definitely not sign a basic salary when he is less than 32 years old. But the problem is that the three brothers just now all had basic salary.
To sum up two points, we can get that if Adams is not a basic salary, it will basically not have cost-effectiveness.
Based on this, we can understand this if we don’t understand it, which means that Hayes provides little help to the Lakers with limited combat power. Second, Pelinka gives more basic salary when chasing the former, but this cannot be accepted by "Aquaman". Potentially, this is a waste of time. You know, the free agent market is racing against time - it's too late, but there's nothing left.
Finally, I hope the Lakers will give up Adams. To put it bluntly, getting hope is not great and helping the team.
