Looking at the NBA free agency market this summer, the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks are undoubtedly the big winners, and they have formed super teams through signings and trades. And the Los Angeles Lakers, who are bent on making a difference in the free market, have not received anything so far! Before James reached a contract extension, Lao Zhan said that he was willing to reduce his salary to renew his contract in order to help the team bring in players like Klay Thompson, Valanciunas, DeRozan, and Hield. But Lakers general manager Pelinka finally returned empty-handed in round after round of robbery battles! In particular, Hield also threw himself into the arms of Golden State when choosing between the Lakers and the Warriors, citing his belief that the Warriors are a team that can win more games than the Lakers.

Now that the dust of the free market has settled, the Lakers can no longer have much hope for the trade market! Because almost all the players they want have found their ideal home, leaving the Lakers with a look of helplessness and heartache. But the Lakers also know very well that with the strength of their current roster, it will be difficult to do much next season, and further reinforcements can be said to be urgent! Otherwise, if they want to make the playoffs next season, they will most likely have to compete through the playoffs.

To be honest, it's really a pity and a pity for the Lakers to miss Valanciunas! Because the Lakers' original plan was to sign Valanciunas to become the team's starting center, so as to solve the problem of thick eyebrows being the No. 5 position for a long time. But extremely unlucky, Valanciunas ended up signing and then trading to the Washington Wizards. As a result, the Lakers' urgent shortage of centers has not been solved! Next, Pelinka's task will be to continue to find an inside partner for the Bushy Eyebrows in the free agency.

As previously reported by Shams, the Lakers are interested in Magic center Carter Jr. The 25-year-old is 2.08 meters tall, weighs 122 kilograms, has an arm span of 2.25 meters and a standing touch height of 2.77 meters. He can be said to be an ideal target for the Lakers in the free market at the moment. In the 2023-24 season, WendellCarter Jr. played in a total of 55 regular season games for the Magic, averaging 11 points, 6.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 37.4% from three-point range, and 7.6 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game in seven playoff games while shooting 40.4% from the field.

Recently, the American media "Fadeaway World" proposed a 4-for-1 trade plan around the Lakers' pursuit of Carter Jr.: the Lakers sent Hachimura + 2025 second-round pick (from the Lakers) + 2025 second-round pick (from the Clippers) + 2027 second-round pick (from the Lakers) to get Wendell Carter Jr. from the Magic.

The Lakers sent the little-used eight-inch to the Orlando Magic, exchanged for the center Carter Jr., and let his partner James hit the new season, which can be said to be a deal that can turn the Lakers into a profit! At least this will be a good way to liberate the thick eyebrows and make them smoothly return to the most comfortable No. 4 position, which will help the Lakers better impact the playoffs! The Magic side got an eight-inch base and three second-round picks, which should be completely acceptable, after all, they have the big and small Wagner brothers on the front line, and they don't have to worry about losing Carter Jr. What do you think about this?
