Official announcement! The Lakers signed a center who averaged 25.5+8+4 per game. He had a heated exchange with Yang Hansen in the G League 8 days ago.

On November 25, famous reporter Shams reported that the Lakers completed two operations in the past night, which attracted the attention of industry insiders. First of all, the Lakers waived two-way contract center Kroc. He has only played 2 games for the Lakers this season. He played a total of 6 minutes and only scored 1 rebound. All other statistics were zero. He played 37 games with the Lakers last season, averaging only 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. He is a blue-collar center through and through.

Now, the Lakers have waived Kolok just to make room for another center, who is Drew Timmy, the inside killer from the G League. Timmy played for the G League South Bay Lakers this season, averaging 25.5 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists per game in the G League, leading the South Bay Lakers to a 4-0 start. Timmy played for the Nets last season, but didn't have many opportunities. Now, the Lakers have signed him with a two-way contract, which is an effective supplement to the team's internal reserves.

The Lakers are currently tight inside. In the last game they defeated the Jazz, center Ayton sprained his knee. There is no specific timetable for his return. As a result, the Lakers have only Hayes left at the center position, and Hayes himself is also a blue-collar player. Now the Lakers have three "cake feeders", but not enough "cake eaters", so now the Lakers quickly hired Timmy from the South Bay Lakers. Unlike Hayes, Timmy is a decent offensive center. He can play inside and outside on the offensive end. He can be said to be a poor man's version of Ayton.

Of course, Timmy is not as strong as expected. His defense is not good, his movement is slow, and his defensive habits are not good. Eight days ago, during the game between the South Bay Lakers and the Portland Mix, Chinese center Yang Hansen had an exchange of words with Timmy. In that game, Timmy made 11 of 22 shots, 1 of 6 three-pointers, and scored 27 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists, while Yang Hansen made 8 of 16 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 blocks. Both performed well. It can be said that they couldn't guard each other and exploded.

Official announcement! The Lakers signed a center who averaged 25.5+8+4 per game. He and Yang Hansen had a heated exchange in the G League 8 days ago! Therefore, from this perspective, Yang Hansen is not as weak as imagined. He has only played 68 minutes in the NBA regular season. Everything is still in time. Regarding his growth, the Blazers are not worried. There is really no need for us to worry about anything. In addition, for the Lakers, there have been rumors recently that they hope to sign Davis in the buyout market. Davis is now on the shelves of the Mavericks, but a direct trade is impossible. The Lakers can't afford it for 175 million in three years. Therefore, if the Mavericks buy out Davis like the Suns bought out Bill, Davis may really be able to renew his relationship with the Lakers.
