Three wins in a row! The Lakers' biggest weakness has been exposed, and trading Davis really does more harm than good

After the Lakers lost to the Magic today, they have suffered a three-game losing streak. After Doncic joined the Lakers some time ago, he injected fresh blood into the Lakers, and the Lakers' performance during that period was so good that many Lakers fans had a delusion. Thinking that trading Davis was a very smart choice, getting Doncic and they really made a lot of money.

But playing against the Lakers exposes a lot of problems, and these problems are very deadly, and these problems will seriously affect the Lakers' playoff journey. The main reason why the Lakers lost these three games is that they have no interior defense, and each team will target the Lakers' interior, which has no ability to protect the frame at all. Every player on the Magic team is very tall, and when they burst to the basket today, it was like no man's land.

What's more serious is that the Lakers not only have a useless interior defense, they also have several defensive weaknesses on the outside, such as Doncic and Reaves are players who are not good at defense, which means that many teams will have a lot of ways to score against the Lakers. First of all, they will use the team's core players to focus on the defense of Reaves and Doncic, and after breaking through the defense of these two people, the Lakers do not have any protective frame inside, so the Lakers' current defensive problems are very serious.

The Lakers are also aware of the weakness of the interior defense, so they will subconsciously shrink the defense and protect the interior as much as possible. But there are a lot of teams in the league that are very good at shooting three-pointers, and if you take a shrinking way, the other party will punish you with three-pointers, and the Magic are not a team that is good at shooting three-pointers, but today they have punished the Lakers with three-pointers. If they meet a team like the Celtics, there's nothing they can do.

So for now, trading Davis is clearly doing more harm than good. Let's first compare the abilities of Davis and Doncic, Doncic is indeed a player with very outstanding offensive talent, but don't forget that Davis is also very dominant on the inside, and he can still contribute nearly 30 points per game by handing the ball to Davis. What's more, Davis not only has a very strong offensive ability, he also has a very strong defensive coverage. His defensive coverage can even reach near the free-throw line. So even if the Lakers make the playoffs this year, it may be difficult for their defense to support them to win the championship. Pelinka has a lot of work to do in the offseason, and the first is to find a good interior player.
