After a losing season, the Lakers introduced the third giant Wei Shao in the offseason, created a super big three of Wei Shao + James + thick eyebrows, and re-formed the lineup around the big three.
In order to cater to the needs of the new Big Three, the Lakers management will not hesitate to break the defensive system on which the team has survived in the past two seasons and add as many outside shooters as possible.
As a result, since the beginning of the game, the Lakers' big three giants are completely incompatible, the team's record has further declined, and it is gradually far from the championship goal.
The poor team situation also forced the Lakers management to make changes again, and the veteran Rondo who fell out of the rotation of the team was quickly sent away to free up a place for the introduction and attempt of new signings.
In addition, the Lakers were exposed to be peddling jordan jr. and Bazemore, two underperforming players, and Westbrook was also mentioned in the deal.
At the same time, it is reported that the Lakers hope to build a deal plan around Tucker and Nunn, in exchange for a no-ball guard with a salary of about $15 million, and White of the Spurs, Powell of the Blazers and Smart of the Green Army are the favorite targets of the Lakers.
What's more, they began to recruit the Lakers to trade the thick eyebrow brother, because after the thick eyebrow brother won the championship, the personal competitiveness declined rapidly, and even lost control in body management for a time.
Even in the number of games played this season, the thick eyebrow brother still handed over a good performance, but he was unwilling to play the No. 5 position, coupled with the serious degradation of the middle distance ability, resulting in the Lakers can not line up at all.
To this end, the US media "nbaanalysis" also supported the Lakers, you can try to complete a 5-for-2 transaction plan, the transaction of the Heat to sell 3 generals, the Lakers killed two birds with one stone, the two teams are expected to achieve a win-win situation.
Potential trading scenarios
Lakers: Get Adebayo + Hiro + PJ Tucker + 2025 first round pick + 2027 first round pick;
Heat: Get Thick Brow Brother + Little Jordan.
For the Lakers, this is a high-quality trading option in an urgent situation, which is expected to achieve a situation of killing two birds with one stone.
If there is no bet on Wei Shao in the offseason, or the Lakers can exchange Wei Shao for enough chips, the Lakers do not have to go this way.
But the problem is that bet on Wei Shao has locked the team's offensive space and salary space, coupled with the past two seasons the Lakers have been tossing various reinforcement plans, the team's high-quality chips in the hands of the game is countable, want to clean up Wei Shao, the possibility of building a championship team around Zhan Mei is very small.
In this case, the deal plan gives the Lakers another way to solve the problem.
The traded Adebayo, Hiro and PJ Tucker are all high-quality instant players, of which Adebayor has a stable mid-range projection ability, and Hiro is the top outside endpoint whether he plays the ball on the bench or enters the starting game without the ball.
PJ Tucker is a consistent 3D player, Vogel's favorite type of player, and also a perfect fit for James and Westbrook's style of play, and the three players are experienced in the playoffs.
More importantly, Adebayo and Hiro are very young and talented.
Even if the Next 1-2 seasons, the Lakers can not compete around this lineup, when The contract between Westbrook and James expires, the Lakers still have enough young people to rely on.
Coupled with the two first-round picks obtained in the transaction, the transaction killed two birds with one stone, which not only guaranteed the Lakers' current championship goals, but also provided a guarantee for the team's future.
For the Heat, this is a deal to raise the team's ceiling, and it is also a reasonable choice for the team to compete for the championship.
The Heat are currently in fourth place in the East, and this ranking is consistent with the Heat's lineup configuration, the team has no shortcomings, reasonable playing style, excellent chemistry, but lack of top stars.
Butler, Lowry, and Adebayo are not top stars, but the healthy thick eyebrow brother is that in the Lakers championship season, the performance of the thick eyebrow brother once overpowered James, and the team was built around Butler + Lowry + thick eyebrows, and the Heat had the opportunity to break the wrist with basketball, Bucks and other teams.
