US media: Turner, Grant, the Lakers both want! The key question is what players will the Lakers trade for?
★ On January 11, 2022, Beijing time, according to Shams, the Lakers are pursuing the Pistons' inner line Jerami Grant, and Turner is also one of the Lakers' alternatives!
【Difficult/ Team Situation】
1. On January 10, 2022, Beijing time, the Lakers sitting at home were once again humiliated by the Memphis Grizzlies; although James slashed 35 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists in this game, he had no choice but to fight with two fists and four hands, and the Grizzlies who scored in double figures took away the victory with an 8-point advantage.
2, the Lakers temporarily ranked seventh in the West with a record of 21 wins and 20 losses, if James wants to go directly to the playoffs this season without passing through the playoffs, they will have to work harder!
3, the inside core thick eyebrows have not yet comeback date, Vogel said in an interview with reporters, thick eyebrows have begun to do some shooting practice.
4. Defender Munch has been doing well recently, scoring more than 15 points in seven of his last 8 games.
【Transaction】
1. Grant can average 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.1 blocks per game this season, shooting 41.4% and 33.1% from three-point range.
Grant's contract with the Pistons expires two years ago and is worth $40.95 million.
2. Turner can average 13.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.6 steals and 2.9 blocks per game this season, shooting 51.8% and 35.7% from three-point range.
Turner's contract with the Pacers expires for the 2022-2023 season, and the contract is worth $35 million.
【Personal Opinion】
1, realistically speaking, the Lakers' inner line is actually not short of people, after the return of the thick eyebrow injury, the Lakers' inner line can be said to be overcrowded, even the former double player Jordan Jr. is now difficult to catch playing time in the Lakers, from the role point of view, little Jordan and Turner are actually not much different.
2, the Lakers' move in my opinion, one is to survive the current difficulties that the team is facing, after all, the regular season schedule is more than halfway through, the Lakers must strive to grab a playoff ticket; the second is to send away Wei Shao, who has not performed well this season.
3, Pelinka must take advantage of the fact that Wei Shao's data has not yet fallen to the bottom of the valley to send him away, if this opportunity is missed, then Pelinka even if he wants to take the money to send Wei Shao away, no team is willing to take over.
