Winning is easy to say, a loss will make people think of trading someone, this atmosphere has a long history, it is difficult to change, after all, the media also need these topics to discuss for everyone. The Lakers haven't been very good this season, with six-veined Excalibur, up and down, and now has a record of 15 wins and 13 losses, ranking sixth in the West, which is not in line with the lineup with the Big Three. So for the Lakers, there are also rumors.
At that time, when the Blazers lost wildly, there were rumors that Wei Shao + others were used to exchange Lillard, and there was no wind in the back, in fact, it was a figment. Recently, according to Meiji Jake Fischer, the Lakers had an internal discussion about the transaction of Wei Shao. "The trio of James, Brow and Westbrook did not meet the Lakers' expectations, and sources informed BR that LA has had internal discussions about the deal with Westbrook, but it seems unlikely that Westbrook will be sent away along with his remaining 91 million contract."
Let's not say whether this rumor is true or not. I don't think it's very reliable to trade Wei Shao now. Why? First, the Lakers have played like this this season, not entirely Wei Shao's fault, the whole team has changed half, equivalent to a temporary patchwork team, and are mostly veterans, and there is no run-in, you want to come up with a dozen consecutive wins, do you think it is possible? Isn't it normal to lose a point game? When I think about the Heat Big Three, at the beginning, it was not about a 50% win rate, and everything had to have a process.
Second, Westbrook's performance this season is not very bad, currently averaging 36 minutes per game, cutting 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 1.2 steals, shooting 45.1%, shooting 32.4% from three-point range, and shooting 67.5% from the free throws, all three of which are higher than he was with the Wizards last season, and look at Lillard's shooting rate, shooting 39.2% from the field this season, shooting 29.6% from three-point range, and shooting 88.6% from the free throws. In addition to the penalty is a little more accurate than Wei Shao, the other is not as good as Wei Shao?
Third, who can make the Lakers have the impulse to trade Westbrook now? Lillard is a bar, but the Blazers will not trade ah, Lillard also said not to go. Another 76ers right Simmons? Of course Simmons wants to go, but after Simmons comes to the Lakers, can he be more suitable than Westbrook? No one dares to say this, but what is certain is that Simmons has not played very much, and his shooting is much worse than Wei Shao, no three-point shooting, if the Lakers want to win in the moment, then Simmons is not a good choice, it is not as good as Wei Shao.
Therefore, now the rumors of the jianghu, trading Wei Shao, that is an unreliable thing. What do you think?
