According to reports, the Lakers officially announced that the team's head coachEs Frank Vogel and Trevo Ariza have lifted the isolation, and Vogel is expected to return to the head coach's seat in the Lakers' game against the Blazers on January 1, Beijing time, and Ariza is still in a state of doubt, after all, after a long absence, Ariza still needs time to adjust his state:
For the Lakers, the isolation of head coach Vogel is still a big blow to the team, not only Vogel, there are other players in the Lakers who trigger health and safety agreements, but as the league relaxes the rules for the lifting of health and safety agreements, more players in the Lakers will return next.
On the other hand, according to ESPN reporter Adrian Warnaroski, the Lakers and Cavaliers successfully pushed for a deal involving Lajan Rondo, and the Lakers can get a player like Denzel Valentine in this deal. Considering that Valentine's contract only has $500,000 in guarantees, it also means that the Lakers can still save a lot of luxury taxes:
For the Cavaliers, Rondo is also an ideal addition to the team as the team's backcourt depth is plagued by injuries. The Lakers were also able to release the 15th place on the contract in the deal, which also gave the Lakers a chance to sign players like Stanley Johnson or Collison.
Finally, it needs to be discussed that there are still many voices criticizing Wei Shao in the league recently, among which the AMERICAN media Shannon Sharp praised Durant by criticizing Wei Shao:
"Durant should be the best player in the league because he endured Westbrook for 10 years."
So far this season, Wei Shao's overall performance during his time playing for the Lakers is indeed not so ideal, and as to whether he can at least play well enough in future games, many of them are the key to whether the Lakers can impact the championship.
