After being eliminated by the Nuggets in the first round, Lakers management has started their summer work early, after firing the team's head coach Darvin Ham and even purging the entire coaching team, but if only adjusting the coaching position obviously will not improve the team's competitiveness quickly. If they want to get back into contention, they will have to make changes to their roster.

For the current Lakers team, the best operation is naturally to keep James and Davis on the basis of the two cores, and bring in a third star to enhance the offensive firepower, such as Cavaliers guard Mitchell and Hawks point guard Trae Young;

It should be noted that James has a player option this summer, he can jump out of his contract and choose to join another team, although James has not said anything about the issue of staying so far, but he may choose to leave if the team does not do a good job in recruiting them.

Once James leaves, the Lakers will start a rebuild, and Davis, another core of the team, may be put on the shelf. The American media "Fadeaway World" proposed that the Lakers could promote a 5-for-1 trade plan to quickly complete the rebuild.

The specific trading plan is as follows:

Lakers sent - Davis

The Rockets sent out — Smith Jr., Amen Thompson, Adams, a 2026 first-round pick, a 2028 first-round pick

Smith Jr. is a 2022 probe and is only 21 years old this year, playing in 76 games for the Rockets this season, averaging 13.7 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, shooting 45.8% overall and 36.3% from three-point range.

Thompson, last year's No. 4 pick, is averaging 9.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season while shooting 53.6 percent from the field.

Whether it's two talented youngsters or two valuable first-round picks, they can help the Lakers rebuild quickly.

On the Rockets' side, after hiring Udoka, their record has improved by leaps and bounds, with a 41-41 record this season, with a winning rate of 5 percent, but in the highly competitive West, they still failed to make the playoffs, and the team's goal in the new season is to return to the playoffs, and they need an experienced, that is, strong superstar to lead the team forward.

The interior twin towers of Davis + Shin Jing will make them very competitive in the West, and with the growth of Green and others, and the support of veterans such as VanVleet, the team can even become the favorite to win the championship.

All in all, this is a set of trading solutions that seem to achieve a win-win situation, so the question is, what do you think as a fan?
