Two 2 for 1, the Lakers won Fan Debiao Jr.! Their favorite target was intercepted and Xiaoli refused 89.2 million in 4 years

In the second round of the 25th NBA Draft, the Lakers won "Van der Biao" Adou Tiero! The target he liked was intercepted by the Hornets, and at the same time, Xiaoli refused a four-year maximum salary contract of 89.2 million yuan.

Hornets intercepted their favorite targets

After no operation in the first round of the 25 NBA Draft, the Lakers suddenly made efforts in the second round draft. First, famous reporter Shams revealed that the Lakers completed a 2-for-1 transaction with the Bulls before the second round draft began. The specific transaction content is as follows:

Lakers got: No. 45;

Bulls got: No. 55 + cash return.

Character Shams also pointed out in the follow-up report that the Lakers' move was a fond of a "genius player", but did not mention the specific rookie name.

Result Broderick Turner, a reporter from Los Angeles Times, quickly followed up and disclosed that the Lakers' goal is Ryan Calke Brenner, center from Creton University.

Ryan Kalkebrenner is a typical insider who is older, with a height of 2.16 meters and an arm span of 2.29 meters and is already 23 years old. He can average 19.2 points, 8.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game in his senior five seasons.

He is one of the best rim protectors in the same class on the defensive end. At the same time, he is extremely efficient in the inside line on the offensive end, with an overall shooting rate of up to 65.3%, and has the top ability to finish the cake.

and still have a certain amount of space ability, with a three-point shooting percentage of 34.4%. He has played an exaggerated performance in the NCAA's regular season in a single game, winning 20 of 22 shots and 20 of them, winning 49 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The shortcomings are the same as his template Daluo and Connett, that is, the speed is slow, both in both shooting and moving.

But for the Lakers, who are in urgent need of manpower in the interior, it is still a huge interception if they can win him in the second round, because in the prediction, Ryan Calke Brenner will be selected at the end of the first round.

As a result, when the Lakers were planning everything, the Hornets suddenly snatched love and directly intercepted him with the No. 34 draw.

This is a very interesting operation, because the Hornets and the Lakers completed a transaction around inside player Mark Williams in the 24-25 season. As a result, after the transaction deadline, the Lakers returned the goods for failing the physical examination and causing the Hornets to be extremely dissatisfied.

On the night of the first round of the draft, the Hornets sent Ma Wei to the Suns through a 1-for-3 trade. During this period, there was no problem of failing the physical examination. Then the Hornets intercepted the Hu Lakers in the second round, which was quite "revenge".

2 for 1 to win Fan Debiao

Faced with such an emergency, the Lakers were obviously a little panicked and quickly completed another deal. Famous reporter Shams revealed that the Lakers and the Timberwolves completed a 2-for-1 transaction again, the details are as follows:

The Lakers got: No. 36 draw;

Timberwolves got: No. 45 draw + part of cash.

After upgrading the second round pick from 55th pick to No. 36 through two 2-for-1 trades, the Lakers were finally not intercepted again, and then they won the template for Vanderbilt's 1.99-meter forward Adu Tiero.

21-year-old Thiero is a relatively short forward, but has an explosive athletic talent and great defensive potential. The template is Vanderbilt.

Average of 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.7 blocks per game in the 24-25 season, but lacks the ability to open up space, with a three-point shooting percentage as low as 25.6%, and a free throw shooting percentage of only 68.6%.

What's worse is that Tiero has a considerable potential for injury. He missed a large number of games due to knee and shoulder injuries. The defensive end seems fierce, but his aggressiveness is too strong, resulting in poor control of fouls.

Whether in terms of adaptability or the urgency of position reinforcing, Thiero is far less valuable to the Lakers than Carlke Brenner who was intercepted by the Hornets, especially when the Lakers have not sent Vanderbilt away.

Xiaoli refused a four-year maximum salary

Compared to a second-round pick, what is more difficult for the Lakers is that Reeves refused a four-year maximum salary renewal offer.

According to Lakers' TA reporter Dan Woike, Reeves has officially rejected the Lakers' four-year maximum salary of 89.2 million yuan in advance.

But this does not mean that Little Li will leave the Lakers. Lakers' record Trevor Lane followed up and pointed out that Reeves still hopes to play for the Lakers for life.

Therefore, the purpose of Xiaoli's operation is to obtain a larger contract. Next summer, he can jump into an existing contract and become an unrestricted free agent.

You can sign a maximum salary of 182.9 million yuan with other teams for four years, or you can sign a maximum super contract of 246.7 million yuan with the Lakers.
