Recruiting Bills failed! Pelinka s new move is here, the best sixth man joins the Lakers? This is very good for Doncic

2 years, Bill, who reached a buyout with the Suns, joined the Clippers.

Unlike Ayton, missing Bills is "the sky cannot fall" for the Lakers. Holding the ball, finishing, output, performance at critical moments - Reeves can reach 60% of the role of Bills.

The problem arises: Reeves is the Lakers' "treasure", and Bill needs to make a starting commitment to win the next contract. Between the two, it is obvious that Pelinka chose the former. Or rather, Pelinka didn't convince Bill to play the sixth man.

Recruiting Bills failed, and the Lakers' road to strengthening continues. According to the NBA China official website, many teams, including the Lakers and the Warriors, are interested in Brogdon. What are the characteristics of

Brogden?

First, you can hold the ball. In the early years of his career, the Pacers were the starting number one position—the round usage rate was 19%, the real shooting rate was 59%, and the output was not enough but the efficiency reached the All-Star level.

Secondly, can be transferred and controlled. In the peak season of 19-20, James converted one assist every 8 passes, and in that season, assists King James converted one assist every 6 passes.

Furthermore, there is no dead end projection. As shown in the figure below, although the overall career shooting is based on the inside and three-pointers, the 44.2% mid-range shot rate and 42.8% long two-point rate indicate that the opponent dare not let go easily.

Overall, in the ranks of double-energy guards, we can define Brogdon as Donovan Mitchell, whose body is weak and projected.

Are the Lakers attractive to Brogdon?

I think there must be.

Reason: Challenging. The Lakers substitute group in the 23-24 season totaled 2326 points, third from the bottom in the league; the 24-25 season totaled 2148 points, second from the bottom in the league.

The Lakers' substitute is a fact, and it is challenging for Brogdon - the good side is, and there is no shortage of experience in bringing substitutes - won the sixth man of the year in the 22-23 season. Of course, this is more beneficial than disadvantages for Brogden, who is already 32 years old. I mean, if the Lakers substitute problem is greatly improved, it is highly likely that you can get a decent pension contract. To take a step back, there is no loss even if the improvement is not large. After all, I have not received any team quotes after becoming a free agent for so long.

If Brogden is successfully won, I think this is excellent for Doncic.

Description point: concatenation. In the new season, it is still hard to say whether James is still in the Lakers. Even if you consider the age/giving factor, you will play without the ball more.

Regularly speaking, the 26-year-old Doncic has no problem with carrying the Lakers' ball rights per game, but everything is in case. To take a step back, it is not a physically traitor like Bridges and Hart, but someone needs to share Doncic's tandem pressure. Although

can be divided into two-athlete defenders, unlike Reeves who is more offensive, Brogdon has a relatively balanced offense and connection. Potentially, it is more competent to handle the heavy burden of connection than the former.

Finally, let's wait and see whether Pelinka can win Brogden.
