After acquiring James and Big Eyebrow in two consecutive offseasons, the Lakers became a legitimate contender for the championship. However, at the beginning of the season, no one believed that the Lakers would become the clear frontrunner for the championship. After all, a newly formed team needs a certain amount of time to adjust.

But James and the thick-eyebrow brother seemed to skip this process directly. The two quickly established a good chemical reaction, and also had a group of role players closely surrounding them.

This allowed the Lakers to secure the first place in the Western Conference before the suspension, and according to the current rematch plan, it will be difficult for other teams in the Western Conference to shake the Lakers' first place in the Western Conference.

But any team has room for continued improvement, and the Lakers are naturally no exception. Therefore, when the Big Three plan failed to be realized during the offseason, the US media frequently supported the Lakers this season. , continued to form the Big Three through transactions during the offseason.

Many players, including Booker, Bill and LaVine, have had trade rumors with the Lakers. However, the US media "hoopshabit" believes that the Lakers need to be very cautious in signing the third giant. The above three stars are obviously not suitable for the Lakers because they cannot provide stable defensive performance.

Then he encouraged the Lakers, believing that the Lakers should decisively pursue Mamba Oladipo during the offseason and offered a potential 3-for-1 trade plan.

Potential trade plan: The Lakers sent Kuzma and Danny Green’s 2022 first-round pick to get Oladipo.

For the Lakers, if the team is determined to form the Big Three, then Oladipo is the best choice among feasible options.

Although it is still unclear what kind of chemical reaction he will establish next to James, he can be regarded as a "top version" of Bradley, who can provide stable defense while averaging 10 points per game. An offensive performance of 15-20 points.

At the same time, the organizational skills he provides will also relieve the huge pressure on James.

However, his injury may become a potential concern for the Lakers' trade, but combined with Oladipo's relatively simple personal style of play, there is a high probability that he will return to normal soon. state.

In this way, acquiring Oladipo not only solves the Lakers' short-term championship needs, but also ensures that the duo of Oladipo and Big Eyebrow will be guaranteed for a long time after James retires in the future. Lakers competitiveness.

More importantly, compared to other targets, Oladipo's current value has dropped significantly due to health problems, which makes the Lakers, who have few chips in hand, hope to get him.

For the Pacers, if the team wants to get rid of its current relatively mediocre situation and launch an all-out attack on the championship, then it needs to change the current situation of team lineup configuration conflicts, and there are injuries. Oladipo, who has hidden disease risks and hopes to win a big contract, will naturally be the first to be operated on.

The team needs to build around more talented young people, such as Sabonis or Turner, instead of continuing to build around Oladipo, who has serious injury risks, and the team has already signed the same position Brogdon, the two have been incompatible with each other in this season's game.

After completing this transaction, the Pacers can choose to build a team around Sabonis and Brogdon. At the same time, they can further clear out Turner and move Sabonis to the center position. Zima takes the vacant fourth position.

With the top 3D player Green as the starting No. 3, coupled with Brogdon who is in hot form, the Pacers' overall lineup configuration will obviously be more reasonable.
