Hello everyone! Let's talk about the NBA today and share a few NBA news for you: The Lakers signed a 42-point guard! Exposed the Lakers 2-for-3 trade Lowry plan, the Warriors good news.
First of all, the Lakers signed a 42-point guard! Today, according to US media reports, the Lakers have two more guards who triggered the health and safety agreement, they are Westbrook and Bradley. Together with the previous Munch and Howard, as well as Tucker Jr., the Lakers have 5 players who can't play because they are quarantined. In such a situation, the Lakers signed Thomas Jr. with a difficult exception. The two sides signed a 10-day short contract, which means that after the Lakers' main players recover, Thomas Jr. is likely to be cut. Thomas Jr. previously played for the Development League and scored 42 points on his debut. However, Thomas Jr.'s shortcomings are also very obvious, he is too short and easy to be targeted by opponents on the defensive end. In addition to James being able to organize, the Lakers also have Rondo to control the ball, so Thomas Jr. will not get a long playing time in the Lakers in recent games.
Secondly, the US media broke the news that the Lakers traded Lowry 3 for 2, and the Lakers sent Westbrook, Tucker Jr. and 1 second-round draft pick, and got Lowry and Duncan Robinson from the Heat trade. The US media analyzed the deal from the perspective of two teams:
For the Lakers, there have been reporters who broke the news before, and the Lakers believe that the grinding merger of the big three has not reached the expected level. Westbrook's three-point ability isn't particularly stable, and he can't open up offensive space for James and Davis. Lowry plays hard, can organize and project, and his technical characteristics are more suitable for Zhan Mei. Duncan Robinson is a strong projectionist, does not occupy the ball, and he is more suitable for the current Lakers than Tucker Jr.
For the Heat, Westbrook is clearly stronger than Lowry. Lately, Westbrook has become more and more reasonable in his play, not only being able to organize on the offensive end, but also defending the opposing arrow figure on the defensive end. Tucker Jr. has recently slowly adjusted his form at the Lakers, and he is very young and has more comprehensive abilities.
Finally, the warriors are good news. According to US media reports, Klay Thompson is about to make a comeback at the end of this month. The Warriors don't plan to get Thompson back on the schedule around Christmas, and Thompson's comeback debut is likely to be a Game for the Warriors against the Nuggets. Earlier, Thompson had been sent by the team to the affiliated development league team for restorative training. The majority of fans are looking forward to Thompson's comeback, after all, everyone has not seen him play for more than two seasons. This season's Warriors have the number one record in the league, and this is still a Warriors team without Thompson. Thompson is a plug-and-play player who doesn't play with the ball and projects with precision. Therefore, we can expect that when Thompson returns, the Warriors will increase again.
