Hello everyone! Let's talk about the Lakers today and share a few news about the Lakers: The Lakers offer Grant! Exposed the Lakers 1-for-2 trade Boucher plan, Rubio reimbursed.
First of all, the Lakers offer Grant! According to Meiji Wenhorst, the Pistons are rebuilding this season, and there is news that the Lakers have offered Pistons core player Grant, chips for Tucker Jr., Nunn and the 2027 first-round draft pick. The name pointed out that Grant can bring a lot of help to the Lakers, his defense is very good, and he can hit 3-pointers on the offensive end, such a player is what the Lakers currently lack. This season, Grant has played in 24 games for the Pistons, averaging 33 minutes per game, and can cut 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks, and shoot 33.1% from three-point range.
Secondly, the US media broke the news that the Lakers 1 for 2 trade Boucher plan, the Lakers sent a small Tucker, from the Raptors trade to get Boucher and a second-round draft pick. The US media analyzed the deal from the perspective of two teams:
For the Raptors, they were interested in getting Tucker Jr. in Lowry's trade last season, and the Raptors believe Tucker Jr. has good potential. However, with the arrival of Westbrook this season, the Lakers already have two major stars who need a lot of ball rights, and the less efficient Tucker who holds the ball has become a burden to the Lakers. The Raptors have a lot of quality players on the front line, including players such as Anunoby, Barnes and Siakam, but in the backcourt, the team does not have too good guards, and they need young guards with potential like Tucker Jr.
For the Lakers, the team is keen to play the death five, and after Davis was injured, the team even pushed James to the No. 5 position. James has the ability to shoot, but also has excellent physical fitness, he is in the No. 5 position, Westbrook can better break through the inside line. However, after playing the No. 5 position for a long time, James is easily injured, and the Lakers must find a way to reduce his burden. Boucher is 2.06 meters tall and, as a front player, he can both grab rebounds and shoot three-pointers. In the Raptors' last game against Philadelphia, Boucher cut 28 points, 19 rebounds and hit five three-pointers, and his technical characteristics are in line with the Lakers' lineup needs.
Finally, Rubio was reimbursed for the season. The Cavaliers officially announced that team guard Rubio discovered after an MRI examination that he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, officially confirming the season reimbursement. In the last Cavaliers game against the Pelicans, Rubio fell to the ground injured while breaking through with the ball and was then helped away by his teammates. This is the second time Rubio has suffered such an injury since 2012. Rubio is a key player on the Cavaliers bench this season, averaging 13.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game.
