Regret it! The Lakers are ready to restart the trade! Hello, 100 million big center

The Lakers are expected to restart trade talks for Claxton this summer offseason......

At this year's trade deadline, after the Lakers sent away the thick eyebrows in exchange for Doncic, they planned to seek reinforcements at the center position, and Claxton of the Nets was one of the targets, but Ma Wei, who finally chose the Hornets, canceled the trade.

Claxton, 26, 2.11 meters tall, signed a four-year, $97 million contract last summer and will reach $25.35 million, $23.15 million and $20.94 million over the next three seasons.

In the regular season this season, Claxton averaged 26.9 minutes per game, contributing 10.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks, shooting 56.3% from the field, and has averaged 10.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.7 blocks per game in his NBA career so far.

Anyway, it stands to reason that Claxton is better than the Lakers' current starting center, Hayes, and of course much more expensive, who has an annual salary of $2.46 million this season and averages 6.8 points and 4.8 boards per game in the regular season and 1.8 points and 2 boards per game in the playoffs.

In this year's playoffs, the Lakers, who are the No. 3 seed in the West, were eliminated 4-1 by the No. 6 seed Timberwolves, and there were 3 rebounding losses in 5 games in the series, G2 won and G3 was tied, so it is urgent for the Purple and Gold to strengthen the center position.

In addition to Claxton,The Lakers also have their eye on Mavericks center Gafford GaffordThis guy averaged 12.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.8 blocks in 21.5 minutes per game this season, shooting 70.2% from the field, and has an annual salary of $14.39 million next season.

Gafford and Doncic have a close relationship and excellent chemistry, the two led the Mavericks to the Finals together last year, and will be expected to play side by side with the Slovenian men's basketball team, and I believe they will not mind continuing to work together with the Lakers.
