The Lakers make a decision and give up the No. 1 pick! This is not a bad thing for Doncic. Next, trade Hachimura Shizuo?

Since joining the Lakers, Doncic's offensive efficiency has reached 0.394 points per round, and only Antetokounmpo, Alexander and Bancero are higher than him in the same period. In addition to offense, the 35.6% assist rate is also among the top 5 in the league during the same period.

Doncic is very strong, but only limited to offense and tandem?

Yes, compared with these two points, the defensive end is obviously dragging the back.

Explanation point: efficiency. Average of 16.5 shots interfering with opponents' shooting - 15th in the league in the same period, second only to Anunobi and McDaniels in the same position - worked hard to defend, but the effect was average - the opponent's shooting rate increased by 47.2% from 46.7%.

So the Mavericks team matched Finney Smith, Justin Holiday in the middle, and PJ Washington in the late stage. To put it bluntly, a large part of the three people's responsibilities are to make up for defense and assist in defense for Doncic.

Based on Doncic's defense and past, it is not surprising that the Lakers were interested in Wiggins before.

Description point: Highlight moment. In addition to entering the NBA as the No. 1 pick in 2014, he suppressed the shooting rates of the forward and inside lines such as Tatum, Jalen Jackson Jr., Horford and other forwards to below 40% and 50% in the 22-year playoffs, which can be said to be one of the main contributors to the Warriors' championship.

However, the Heat's asking price for Wiggins is very high - a first round + young player + instant combat power. After the ongoing negotiations failed, according to The Athletic reporter Dan Woike: the team is no longer interested in Wiggins.

Give up the deal with Wiggins, which seems to me not a bad thing for Doncic.

Reason 1: Contract. According to previous reports, the Lakers mainly gave Hachimura Shizuo, who still had a one-year contract of 18 million. In contrast, Wiggins has 2 years and 58 million - 30 million players in the 26-27 season will definitely be implemented now.

Reason 2: Efficiency comparison. Season 24-25 Hachimura played for 1869 minutes, with a real positive and negative value of defense -0.6, and Wiggins' two-day numbers of 1842 minutes and -0.3.

Comparison of defensive efficiency at different positions:

—Defense defender. Hachimura's shooting rate is 45.0%, Wiggins 43.8%;

——Defense front line. Hachimura's shooting rate is 42.4%, Wiggins 45.5%;

- Defend the inside. Hachimura's limited shooting rate is 49.3%, Wiggins 61.1%; Comparison of efficiency of the same defender:

——Defense Tatum. Hachimura's shooting rate is 44.1%, Wiggins 42.3%;

- Defend Durant. Hachimura's shooting rate is 46.2%, Wiggins' 38.5%;

- Defend Trae Young. Hachimura's shooting rate is 51.2%, Wiggins' 20%; to be honest, even though it is deteriorating, Wiggins' defensive ability is still stronger than Hachimura's, but it is far from reaching the first round level.

To sum up two points, "It's not a bad thing" can be Wiggins' cost-effectiveness - a large part of it is caused by injuries, which is like Langzo Ball - it's the best jigsaw puzzle under complete health, but the injury and the impact will be a big question.

Of course, giving up Wiggins's trade does not mean that Hachimura stays in the team, and in my opinion, he will still be traded in the next step. After all, the expiration contract + certain combat power is still good.
