As the trade deadline approaches, the league's teams have significantly accelerated their adjustments to the lineup, especially for a championship-winning team like the Lakers.
After trading Rondo not long ago, the team completed another signing and a cut, achieving another upgrade of the lineup, and then revealed that the Lakers are still looking for opportunities to improve the lineup, and exposed the Lakers' favorite goals.
At the same time, Mingzui also publicly evaluated the Lakers lineup, believing that since the beginning of the game, the purple and gold army has reached the passing line for two people.
The first is that according to reporter Dave McMenamin, the Lakers have cut center Jay Huff, who previously signed a two-way contract with the Lakers.
Despite occupying a two-way contract place, he has only won 4 appearances so far, averaging only 5 minutes per game, and can only deliver 1 rebound, 0.3 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.3 blocks.
Subsequently, Shams revealed that the Lakers planned to sign Dunbua with a two-way contract vacated, and the Lakers had signed him with a two-way contract before, but finally chose to lay him off.
During his last time playing for the Lakers, he played in 2 games and averaged 7 points and 3 rebounds per game, which was significantly better than Jay Huff.
Soon after, the Lakers officially confirmed the authenticity of the two messages, and the Purple and Gold Legion determined to complete a sign and a cut, and the overall lineup was upgraded.
But the actual significance of this signing and refereeing does not seem to be much, because the Lakers are completely betting on a small lineup, rarely using the traditional No. 5 position, not to mention that there are Jordan Jr. and Howard in the lineup.
Therefore, for this deal, the outside world generally believes that the Lakers are preparing for the follow-up deal Jordan Jr., or even Howard, because the two are currently completely abandoned.
Referring to the previously deprecated Rondo is also traded, Howard, who is currently struggling to get a chance to play, is traded, which is a good thing for both sides.
In addition, according to the famous Windhorst, the Lakers are currently peddling Jordan Jr. and Bazemore.
Reporter Michael Scotto followed up and pointed out that the Lakers are indeed actively peddling Bazemore and Jordan Jr., but they are not willing to take the draft pick in order to send away the two.
And pointed out that the Lakers have $4.4 million in cash in their hands, which can be used for transactions, and it is possible to try to pay other teams to let them take over Jordan Jr. and Bazemore, as long as one of them is sent, the Lakers can save $7 million in expenses.
While the Lakers were trying to clean up as many players as possible who didn't meet the team's requirements, shannon Sharpe refuted James's comparison of the Lakers to Brady's Pirates.
Shannon Sharpe bluntly said that the two teams did not have any comparison, James did not realize that the Pirates except Brady, all of them were at their peak, while the Lakers only had two pass, except for James and Munch, everyone else failed.
The well-known "Zhan Hei" Skip said that the worst was Wei Shao, and James was fiercely frustrated in the matter of inspiring the best Wei Shao.
In this context, the famous Michael Scotto followed up with the exposed Lakers' favorite goal.
Michael Scotto pointed out that the Lakers management has been conducting research and personnel selection, and is currently very interested in Lakers guard Gary Trent Jr.
So far this season, Trent Jr. has played in 33 games, averaging 16.4 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game, shooting 36.8% from three-point range.
