Westbrook is quarantined! The Lakers temporarily signed Thomas Jr.! And Munch has been able to make a comeback!

Original/Oxygen is a metro

On December 17, the Lakers were in trouble again. According to renowned journalist Shams, Westbrook, who delivered a key assist against the Lone Ranger, triggered a health and safety agreement and needed to be quarantined. Westbrook was infected with the virus as early as last year when he played for the Rockets, and according to the Lakers' vaccination before the start of the season, his probability of infection is still quite low, but it is so unfortunate.

Westbrook has just shown signs of integration into the Lakers, and his alignment with James and Davis is becoming more and more decent, dominating overtime against the Lone Rangers and previously bracing for the third quarter of the Lakers' frequent crashes. However, such a trend has been met with force majeure factors, whether it is for Westbrook, the Lakers or James, it is a more difficult trouble. Also in need of quarantine are Bradley, as well as Howard and Tucker, who were previously quarantined.

So the Lakers can only supplement the point guard. Also reported from Shams on the same day that the Lakers signed a free agent and Lakers veteran Thomas Jr., a 10-day contract signed through difficult exceptions. Because of the injury situation of the Lakers, the Lakers can also have a signing quota of the same type. In addition, the good news for the Lakers is that Munch, who previously triggered the health and safety agreement, has lifted the quarantine and can return to the Lakers' next game against the Timberwolves.

Thomas Jr., a former All-Star who peaked during his time with the Celtics, scored over 50 points in the playoffs and was also nominated for MVP. But after rejecting the Celtics' maximum salary, he was abandoned by the Celtics because of injury, and finally did not prove himself, until now no team has been willing to have him for a long time. Because of his height and playing style, Thomas Jr. is still quite limited, more obvious system players, and his personality is more sensitive, which is considered to be a locker room cancer.

Isaiah Thomas was still playing in the development league on December 16, and gave a crazy stat of 42 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists on his debut, which was simply a dimensional reduction blow. It may be because of this performance that Thomas Jr. was looked up to by the Lakers and signed a temporary contract. Thomas Jr., who got another chance, began to make a flag, and he wrote on Twitter: Thank you Lakers for giving me the opportunity to prove that everyone is wrong, dry!

However, such a rush to stand flag seems unreliable, Thomas Jr. has a black history in the Lakers, although he has not played for a long time. Lakers players Howard and Anthony are the role models of Thomas Jr., the first two super giant peak period can be much stronger than Thomas Jr., but after the fall, the Lakers are eager to be reborn, they all keep a low profile, do a good job, serve the team instead of rushing to prove themselves. As a result, Thomas Jr. came up and emphasized that it was a potential crisis for the Lakers' chemistry. Fortunately, there are many big guys with the right to speak in the Lakers, and Thomas Jr. estimates that he does not dare to make a mistake. If he can do a good job in office and want to return to the league, the Lakers are a good platform.
