Today, the NBA officially announced last week's East-West Player of the Week. Pacers forward Sabonis was elected in the East and James in the West. Last week, under James' leadership, the Lakers achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, and James averaged 28.3 points, 7.5 rebounds, 8 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.8 steals per game. This is the first time since March 2020 that the Lakers have won the best of the week award.
At the same time, this is the 65th time in James' career that he has won the best of the week, continuing to break the record first in history. Last week, James played a total of 146 minutes, and the Lakers scored 53 points. That also included a game they lost by double digits. It is enough to see how efficient James is.
James' good brother Wade retweeted James' personal data graph for the last 8 games today, to which the caption read: "I can't wait to lie to my future grandchildren and tell them that I played around that guy because by that time, he's still going to play, which is crazy." ”
In terms of social platform dynamics, James did not celebrate his best of the week award, which he may have become accustomed to. Instead, he ridiculed the scene of his own spectacle lenses yesterday. Durant retweeted James's hilarious footage with the caption: "I laughed to death... Bro why are you so funny! James replied, "Dude, I don't know what's wrong with me!" ”
In addition, James also posted his personal highlights from yesterday, with the caption: "Wait, don't worry, do you all think I can't do it at all?" ”
Okay, after talking about James, let's pay attention to a wave of Lakers trading rumors. Well-known journalist Shams reported that the Lakers and Trail Blazers are interested in Pistons player Jeramie Grant. While Grant will miss about 6 weeks due to a torn ligament in his right thumb, it won't affect his trading market prospects. In the regular season, Grant averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
Grant's current salary is $20 million, and it's a question of what chips the Lakers are going to match while satisfying the Pistons.
In addition to Grant, the Lakers would also be interested in Simmons. According to The Athletic, the Knicks, Lakers, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, Kings, Pacers and Cavaliers are all interested in Simmons. The Lakers and Knicks led the Simmons scramble.
The 76ers are currently trading Simmons for an All-Star player or multiple first-round picks, and the 76ers will agree to trade Simmons as long as a team meets the 76ers' asking price.
The first round of draft picks, the Lakers are no play, the first round of the draft picks in recent years have basically been sent out in the previous transaction. And the all-star level players, in addition to James' thick eyebrows, who else can there be? If the future All-Star level players cultivate Tucker well, there may be a slight possibility.
According to NBA reporter Jordan Schultz, league sources revealed that Tucker has been the target of trades for as many as 7 teams. Kuzma retweeted the trade rumor and wrote: "You start again"
It seems that Margo is empathetic, before playing for the Lakers in the past few years, Margot has not been involved in trade rumors, but in the end he can safely and smoothly play a whole season, until this summer's offseason was sent away.
There are fans who have been criticizing why Vogel always let Tucker start, always give Tucker a lot of ball rights. Now it seems that you think Vogel is at the bottom, but in fact, he is at the top. Now give Tucker a chance to play performance, increase the value of the transaction, and then in the trading market, it will be a piece of fragrant food.
Tucker said after the game yesterday: "When you see LeBron playing like this at 36, it makes no excuse for me. ”
And now the Lakers want to trade you away, so you can't find an excuse.......
