James scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal, 2 blocks or lost, he played the fifth position of the small lineup again at the age of 37, without Anthony Davis and Howard, he was the center when Jordan Jr. came off, which is undoubtedly a huge consumption of LeBron, he urgently needs someone to reduce the pressure for him, but there is no player in the Lakers lineup who can take on such responsibilities, and the Lakers are too short of front and interior. (Jordan Jr.'s ability is no longer enough to win the trust)
Beijing time on December 20, NBA Analysis Network suggested that the Lakers chase After Jeramie Grant, although Grant suffered a torn thumb ligament, he is expected to come back in late February next year, but he is the Lakers' most needed forward player, Anthony, Ariza is too old to defend the ability has been much worse than before, the Lakers want to compete for the championship very much need Grant such a defensive front, Grant in the Pistons these two seasons offensive means are also constantly enriched.
The SIMULATION PLAN OF THE US MEDIA IS SENT FOR THE LAKERS: Taren Horton Tucker, Nunn, Ellington get Grant and McGrud, the deal is a 3-for-2 deal, but the US media also said that if the Pistons are not willing to trade the Lakers can try to take the draft pick, the second round pick + first round pick can be added as appropriate.
But there is a problem with this deal, Andaren Tucker signed a three-year, 31 million contract with the Lakers in the offseason, and he needs to be traded after March 3 next year. That is to say, this deal will have to wait until March next year, and James will have to hold the fifth position for a long time. Davis currently has at least 6 weeks off, and Dudley, like AD, has rested for a full 10 weeks with a second-degree sprain in his knee.
Lakers fans also recognize the reality, they said that although I prefer Grant, but in the lineup I want to see the Lakers chase Miles Turner, so that Davis can always play the fourth position, Davis and Turner can open up space, Turner is still a super strong basket protector, which will be Vogel's favorite.
American fans proposed to use: Jordan Jr., Nunn, Tucker to change Turner, Turner's salary is only 17.5 million, he is the league's cap king is also the top 3D center, he fits the Lakers perfectly, with him The Lakers do not have to cling to the small lineup, even if Davis is not in James can have helpers.
In fact, as early as December 11, "Open Air Stand" revealed that the Lakers and pacers had discussed the Myers-Turner deal, but did not know why it was stranded.
