1 year 12 million Lakers won 19 + 6 + 10 inside line?
So far in the 23-24 season, Bushy Eyebrows has averaged 17.3 shots per game and has shot 61.9% from the field. It is worth mentioning that among the big players, only Embiid (64.5%) and Jokic (64.1%) have higher offensive efficiency than thick eyebrows.

Defensively, he averaged 18.8 shots per game. Looking at the league, it is second only to Brother Alphabet's 2.0 among big players.
To sum up, it can be concluded that thick eyebrows are an existence that integrates offense and defense, and both ends are top-level existences. But that's it, the Lakers don't know how to cherish it - 97% of the playing time plays the No. 5 position. This is perhaps the only player among the superstars who plays in a position he doesn't like.
To say more, thick eyebrows have said more than once that they don't like to play the No. 5 position.
Meanwhile, in the Nuggets and Timberwolves matchup, Towns and Jokic limited the latter to 5-of-14 shooting (35.7 percent) at 6:46, while Gobert and Jokic limited the latter to 1-of-6 shooting (16.7 percent) at 2:48.
Statistically, the Timberwolves' twin towers have done a good job of restricting Jokic. At the same time, this also plays a good demonstration role for the alliance: to prevent Jokic, there must be a "meat shield" first, and then assist in defense and supplementary defense.
From the Lakers' point of view, if they want to make a difference this season, they must pass the Nuggets. After the Nuggets, you have to figure out how to limit Jokic. At 9:07 against Jokic, the thick eyebrows allowed him to shoot 7 of 10. Obviously, a thick eyebrow alone can't effectively limit Jokic.
However, because of the recent poor record and the presence of Russell, the Lakers' opportunity to strengthen has come.
So far this season, Markkanen is averaging 23.6 points per game, 27th in the league — Rozier in front and Irving in the back, while Kessler is averaging 2.7 blocks per game, behind Wembanyama and Lopez.
Because of the existence of "Ma Kai", the Jazz don't have to worry about the inside line for at least three years. However, it was not a good thing for Olynyk. The most immediate effect is a reduction in performance opportunities – an average of 5.1 shots per game is a career-low one.
But the problem is that Olynyk is not without ability, judging from the 19 (points), 6 (rebounds) and 10 (assists) he got against the Heat, not to mention the lack of tandem ability among big players.
Based on that, I think the Lakers are very likely to trade Russell for Olynyk.
Reason: Contract. Olynyk and Jazz still have 1 year and 12 million contracts, and the expiring contract is not worth much, which is one of them. Second, as mentioned earlier, the Jazz have little demand for Olynyk with "Mackay".
In addition, from the Jazz's point of view, the arrival of Russell can also make up for the team's weak backcourt, and from Olynyk's point of view, the Lakers are certainly more attractive than the Jazz.
Therefore, with the chips that can impress the opposing team and players, the Lakers are very likely to get Olynyk. For the thick eyebrows, this can have the effect of reducing stress and not worrying about Jokic. Like the Timberwolves Twin Towers, to be exact.
