The Lakers get Smart: The possibility of defensive structure?

The Lakers won Smart for 11 million in two years, similar to the previous two years of 16 million in Ayton:

can improve defense.

is uncertain, but the risk is low: at this price, you can't buy it and suffer losses, and you can't buy it.

Smart is no longer the defender of the year + finals guard three years ago. I have played 54 games in the past two years. The injury is consumed and the age is not young.

But if he can recover from his health, he can still fight.

lead the defense, he has passed his peak, and in the last two years of the Celtics, the team has relied more on White and the defenders.

But the lean camel is bigger than the horse: lead the defense in the short term, for example, Murray/Edwards/Jerwits, Smart can do it.

The defense change is his magic weapon, the dream of chasing among the defenders.

can hit more than one position, as long as it doesn't take long to strain his muscles. If Van Debiao stays in the team, he and Van Debiao can be a pair of mastiffs.

Smart cannot make the situation smooth for the party, but is very good at dragging the other party into the mud together.

He had a little bad relationship with Shuangjie back then, partly because of his desire for a sense of existence. In the Lakers, it depends on how he handles himself: on the offensive end, he can be Luca's substitute, or help with Luca. Off the field, he can be the future of Brownie shaping.

The Lakers are probably:

defender - Luca/Reeves/Smart/Vincent/Browne (I guess Goodwin can lay off after Smart comes)

Forward - LeBron/Hamun/Van Debiao/Laravia/Kneckett

The long man - Ayton/Hayes/Klebe

, the defensive division, ideally:

Smart/Vincent leads the defense.

Reeves chased without the ball.

Luca/LeBron/Laravia, Yamura defense large wings.

Ayton guarded the middle, Hayes replaced him and replaced him with defense.

If Fan Debiao stays in the team, he can do anything above.

combined with the previous signing of Ayton: seven feet tall, 229 cm wingspan, moving quickly. He can fight against the long man - Jokic who withstood the first MVP season in 2021 - but he lacks fighting spirit in the Trail Blazers.

His ideal defensive team structure? The outside leader protects him from being directly impacted; the wing defenders protect the three-point line; there are enough forward defensive partners, and he sits in the middle to protect the baskets and rebounds for his teammates.

From this perspective, it seems that the Lakers' defensive structure is much more reasonable than before?

By the way, the Lakers like to bet on "the former Mavericks guard": such as Beverly.

The Lakers also like former Celtics star players: Fox when Kobe and the Sharks won the championship, Rondo when LeBron and Thick Brow won the championship, and Avery Bradley. Even when the Lakers won the championship in 1972, the coach was Celtic legend Sharman, and the assistant coach was KC Jones. It seems that every championship in Los Angeles is either to beat the Celtics or there is a Celtic on the team.

And Smart is very suitable to teach Brownie. They are all double-energy guard figures ranging from about 1.9 meters to nearly 100 kilograms.

"Brownny, I first entered the playoffs back then, and I was playing against your dad!"
