Detailed explanation of the remaining place of the Lakers: Kobe or "assist" 17+7 will join 3 characteristics perfect match Zhan Mei

On July 6, Beijing time, the Lakers' current roster has reached 13 players, and they will use a 14-man roster to welcome the new season, leaving a spot for maneuver, so who is the 14th man of the Lakers has attracted attention. The Lakers are interested in bringing in another interior player, and after Bamba and Plumlee have signed other teams, the US media now believes that Wood, who averaged close to 17+7 per game last season, will be the best choice, especially Kobe can send "God assists", after all, Wood's Twitter background shows that Kobe has always been his idol.

Wood, the biggest remaining player in free agency, is free after his lone ranger career, and which team he will eventually sign to play for is suspenseful, and the Lakers are one of the favorites to find Wood.

Some are trying to associate Wood's Twitter cover photo with the great Kobe, who is Wood's idol, after all. It's just that Wood's profile background picture is Kobe, in fact, Wood has been using this photo as his profile photo for a long time.

Some Lakers fans stand by their belief that at some point this offseason, Wood will bring his talent to the City of Angels.

The Lakers are very busy in the 2023 offseason, they have signed Vincent, Prince, Reddish and Hayes, and also renewed Reeves, Hachimura and Russell, targeted to strengthen the team's shortcomings.

If the Lakers can sign Wood, it will be a huge boost for the Lakers, and having 3 major roles is extremely suitable for the Lakers.

First, Wood can be the inside partner of the thick eyebrows. Of course, the Lakers have thick eyebrows, but the body of thick eyebrows belongs to the glass man attribute, and it is difficult to say when he will be injured, so joining Wood can improve his interior strength. Wood played in 67 games for the Mavericks last season, during which time he averaged 16.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and possessing excellent offensive ability.

Second, Wood has outside three-point ability and is suitable for partnering James. Wood's three-point shooting percentage last season was 37.6%, which is undoubtedly quite good compared to the thick-eyed brother, and he is a big player who can open up space, which is naturally a perfect fit for James.

Third, Wood could also be the sixth man to fill Schroder's departure. With Schroder leaving the team, the Lakers bench also needs a sixth-man player with strong attacking power, and Wood can also play such a role, and he was assigned by Kidd to play the sixth man in the Lone Ranger.

Whether the Lakers can successfully grab Wood to continue to upgrade their roster and hit the 18th championship in team history again in the new season is undoubtedly extremely exciting.

However, the Lakers also have practical problems, because the Lakers have completed a series of operations this summer, especially in the case of limited salary space, with extremely "inexpensive" contracts to successfully renew Reeves and Russell, etc., so that the Lakers' current total salary has exceeded the salary cap. According to the labor agreement, the Lakers can only use a $2.35 million base salary contract for the remaining signings, so it is difficult to sign Wood, but Wood's defensive weakness makes him not yet get a new contract. If Wood chooses to join the Lakers with a base salary, he is also expected to follow Caruso, Schroder and other re-plays, and there is a possibility of seeking a big contract next year.
