Crazy! After the Lakers were eliminated, Pelinka activated the ultimate weapon, and Antetokounmpo is expected to airborne Los Angeles

In this year's first round of playoffs, the Lakers lost to the Timberwolves with a record of 1-4, but were defeated by a gentleman sweep.

Although there are many tricks in the playoffs, the Lakers are not expected to fire coach JJ Redick. It is worth mentioning that after the G5 game, James and Doncic praised coach Redick, and both of them expressed their lack of expectations for Redick to be fired.

The work of James, Doncic and Reeves will come to an end for the time being. Redick and his team are also expected to go fishing by the lake. For general manager Pelinka, his mission has just been launched; he has been out of the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Such results are barely acceptable for other teams; however, for the Lakers, it is undoubtedly a disaster level.

Especially in February, this team welcomed another superstar, European Magician Doncic; with aces like James and Doncic, the Purple and Gold Army must build a competitive team around them, otherwise I would be sorry for their talent, and ordinary fans would not agree.

Now it seems that the Lakers will usher in a new round of "big blood swaps". Yes, except for James, Doncic and Brownie, other players will become bargaining chips for trading. Everyone may think that the Los Angeles Lakers' top priority is to introduce a reliable inside player; however, Pelinka may have other plans.

According to TA Lakers reporter Jovan Buha, insiders revealed that after the Lakers were eliminated by the Minnesota Timberwolves, Pelinka activated the ultimate weapon, and Antetokounmpo is expected to airborne Los Angeles; it is reported that the Lakers will send Reeves, Kneckett, Hachimura and the first round picks in 2031 and multiple first round swap rights.

The Lakers lack an excellent big man, but in fact, they lack a superstar who can enter the inside; Doncic does not belong to this type, and James is old. From this point of view, Antetokounmpo, who is tall, long arms and excellent athletic ability, undoubtedly meets the needs of the team; and Antetokounmpo has good defensive ability, which can also make up for the lack of strength in the inside to a certain extent. Once Antetokounmpo airborne Los Angeles, the Lakers can undoubtedly launch another attack on the championship.
