On December 8, Beijing time, according to The Athletic reporter Shams Charania, multiple sources revealed that the Pacers are about to rebuild, and Caris Levert, Dominas Sabonis and Miles Turner can all be traded. This news has made many Lakers fans excited, not that the Lakers have a chance to get the three cores of the Pacers, but in the case of the Pacers willing to completely rebuild, the Lakers still hope to get some good role players in the Pacers, such as Lamb.
Of course, on another level, Lakers fans are eager for the team to trade, in large part because they are not satisfied with some of the team's existing players, such as the third-year Horton Tucker, a player who was once regarded by the Lakers as a future star, this season after playing three games, his personal status has plummeted, in today's Lakers game, although the team won, tucker as the starting player, his personal performance can only be described as hot eyes.
In the whole game, Tucker played 34 minutes, 14 shots 5 of 14, three-pointers 5 shots 0 to get 12 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, it seems that Tucker's data is quite comprehensive, but after watching the game, Tucker is still a stunned look, the pass is not in order, the offense is frequently wrong, various offensive fouls and layup mistakes, and more importantly, when he is present at the same time as James, Davis, Anthony, Westbrook, these 4 historical 75 superstars. Tucker's choice is still a personal blind punch.
If Tucker has an extremely good offensive ability, such a practice is still acceptable to fans, but the problem is that Tucker's offensive efficiency is really very bad, so far this season, Tucker's average shooting rate is only 38%, and even more ugly is his three-point shooting rate, averaging only 22.7% per game, in the last 9 games, Tucker's total 24 three-point shooting is only 2, and his offensive means seem to be only one move to rebound.
To put it bluntly, tucker's only advantage in the Lakers is that he is relatively young, but as Munch gradually plays out, Nunn is also ready to come back, Tucker takes up a lot of playing time, which is undoubtedly a kind of harm to the team, averaging 29.2 minutes of playing time per game, confident that it will be better for Munch, Howard and others. Lakers coach Vogel has been giving Tucker plenty of time and starting opportunities, and it's one of the places he's been questioned this season.
Although the Lakers still seem to have patience with Tucker, if Tucker still has such a bad performance, and the Lakers have reached the time when they need to really impact the record and determine the rotation, I am afraid that they will not continue to fight like Tucker.
At present, more fans are supporting the Lakers to trade off Tucker, the Lakers originally chose to use 3 years 30.78 million to renew Tucker, at present it is indeed a very big mistake, especially considering that if this money is used to renew Caruso, then the Lakers' current strength and record will definitely be better. But there is no regret medicine in the world, and the most important thing for the Lakers to do is to hope that Tucker can brush up some good data in the next game, increase the value of his transaction, and then trade him out for a good 3D player.
