लेकर्स के लिए 7 अनदेखे पंख

ट्रेड मार्केट गरम, पर लेकर्स को पदार्थ की जरूरत

मैं NBA के ट्रेड समाचारों को GPS की तरह पकड़ता हूँ—अटूट, सहज। ब्रुकलिन में मालिकता परिवर्तन हुए, मुझे सिर्फ समाचार ही नहीं, ‘अवसर’ महसूस हुआ।

लॉस एंजलस लेकर्स में।

वे पुनर्निर्माण (rebuilding) में नहीं हैं—बल्कि ‘पुन:बनावट’ (retooling) में।

अगर aपको सचमुच एक पंखवाला (wing)खिलड़ियों कीज़्या है, जो एक से दो-फ्रण्‍टव्‍यवस्‍था (multi-position defense) और फलक-फैलता (floor spacing) दोनों मजबूती से कर सकता हो? चलिए,战术 (tactical) होते है।

पंख? क्यों? because defense still wins (भले ही LA mein)

“बढ़िया हमला =अच्छी ‘डिफ’” -इसके ‘ठीक’! LeBron ke age (39), heroics par nahi bharosa karna chahiye.

इसलिए असली पंखवाला (wing depth) zaroori hai —scoring ya highlight reel se zyada. हमe spacing, rotation timing aur screen discipline samajhne wale chahiye.

फटकड़(flashy) name ko trade time pe hi dhundho mat. calculations ki jagah stats dekho —aur L.A. ke system ke saath fit hote hain.

Grayson Alderman – Memphis ka Chupchaan Kēndrā

Algebraic proof: Alderman jab Ja Morant ke saath khelte the to unka defensive rating 6.2 points kam ho jata tha —elite perimeter coverage ka sign. yes—he’s not famous yet. But his ability to switch onto guards and stay locked in through 40-minute stretches? That’s rare in today’s league. The Lakers don’t need more scoring; they need reliability in transition defense and pick-and-roll containment. Alderman delivers both—with zero ego.

Myles Powell & Cameron Johnson – Do-pronged Upgrade?

The truth is simple: Nets are cleaning house post-restructure—and their young core needs fresh blood. Powell may be low-key now… but his 18 PPG average in summer league last year? That wasn’t luck—it was preparation. And Cameron Johnson? He has shot 40% from three since joining Brooklyn—even when playing reduced minutes after injury setbacks. He could be your new starting small forward if you want balance between volume shooting and off-ball movement. No rumors needed—just math applied correctly over time.

Herbert Jones & Trey Murphy III – The Greenlight Duo from New Orleans?

The Pelicans have already proven they’ll move him if it means upgrading their backcourt vision—or cash flow via cap relief later this season. Murphy? His off-ball cut rate has climbed nearly 20% since mid-season—he’s becoming a weapon against zone defenses and tight rotations.. The Lakers could pair them as dual switches—one aggressive defender (Jones), one floor-spacer (Murphy)—a modern twin tower setup built on film study rather than hype.
