The Lakers have more choices in the interior signings, but the middle class is chasing the Warriors meritorious service, and sign 8+6 veterans in a short contract in a year?

In the free market this year, there are many center players worth noting, which is a pretty positive signal for the Los Angeles Lakers. After all, even if the Lakers have limited salary space, their lineup is not bad on paper and has natural city appeal, they can always convince some players to reduce their salary and join.

According to local experts in Los Angeles, the Lakers have added more choices in the inside signing, and the mentioned two players are included. One of them is the Lakers who can take the middle class exception and pursue the Warriors' meritorious player Kevin Rooney, and the other is to sign veteran Al Horford with a one-year short contract, thus completing the poaching of their old rivals.

Judging from the current situation, the Lakers have contacted Steven Adams and Clint Capela, but the two players have similar situations. Not to mention whether they can successfully poach and may be bid by other teams, these two people can only appear as substitutes due to injuries and age, which may not be able to solve all problems in the Lakers' inside line.

From the perspective of immediate combat power, Kevin Rooney may be more reliable. Apart from Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, he is the oldest player in the Warriors and has also won the championship with the team many times. In the Warriors' current Warriors' team, Kevin Rooney's role has become somewhat marginalized and may not be able to compete with Quantun Post and Jackson Davis. The two players behind are still younger than him, and the Warriors can use this to train new players. Not to mention head coach Steve Cole, he has always liked to play in small ball lineups, which has kept Kevin Rooney's time and chances down. If the contract given by the Lakers is not too small, Kevin Rooney can actually consider leaving the Warriors. Just like Klay Thompson last summer, a change in the environment may even prove himself again.

As for Al Horford, although he is 39 years old, during this year's playoffs, Al Horford performed significantly better than Kristaps Porzingis. This veteran averaged 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 blocks per game. Even if you look at the entire league, there are probably not many centers. I dare say that they can suppress Al Horford. You should know that his three-point shooting percentage in the playoffs exceeds 40%. Even if his mobility and speed are not as good as before, he is reliable in experience and awareness, and his all-round skills, and is destined to help the playoff teams. Perhaps this is what the Lakers intend.
