Hello everyone! Let's talk about the NBA today and share a few news for you: the Lakers left the team within 2.16 meters! Exposed the Lakers 2-for-2 trade Downs plan, the Cavaliers signed.
First of all, the Lakers left the team within 2.16 meters! The Lakers officially announced that the team has cut 2.16 meters inside the line Huff, he has played 4 games for the Lakers this season, all of which are garbage time appearances, without particularly eye-catching performances. Earlier, Lakers coach Vogel said in an interview that Davis will play the No. 5 position for a long time after his return, and James will be the replacement for the No. 5 position. Therefore, it is difficult for the Lakers' traditional center to have a chance to perform this season, including Howard and Jordan Jr., who are likely to fall out of the team rotation lineup in the future. Therefore, it makes sense for the Lakers to leave the team inside Huff. Today, the media also broke the news that the Lakers are interested in flanking player Trent. Compared to Trent, Grant and Turner's trade is more difficult.
Secondly, the media broke the news that the Lakers traded Downs 2 for 2, and the Lakers sent Westbrook and Davis to get Towns and Russell from the Timberwolves. The US media analyzed the deal from the perspective of two teams:
For the Timberwolves, the team wanted to hit the playoffs, but Russell and Towns were too young to be experienced. With the deal, the Timberwolves got the all-time triple-doubles for King Wei Shao and championship interior Davis. The combination of Edwards, Davis and Westbrook has the opportunity to make the Timberwolves rush into the playoffs this season, and even go further. The Timberwolves are a team that excels at shooting three-pointers, and other players can open up space for Westbrook offense. In addition, Timberwolves players are very good at grabbing offensive rebounds, which can add fault tolerance to Westbrook's shooting.
For the Lakers, Westbrook and James are not suitable, and both are playing with the ball. Although James currently plays center forwards, he plays as an organizational center on the court, which greatly reduces Westbrook's ball possession. Wei Shao does not have the ball, it is difficult to play his own characteristics. Through the deal, the Lakers brought in two players who were more suited to the team's roster. Russell and Towns both have good three-point shooting abilities that open up offensive space for James. In addition, James is more experienced, and Russell and Towns have the opportunity to win the championship under James' leadership.
Finally, the Cavaliers signed. According to Mingji, the Cavaliers have signed Kobe Altman today, and Altman will be promoted to the team's president of basketball operations, and the contract ends in 2028. Altman joined cavaliers management in 2012 and was promoted to deputy general manager in 2016–17 and general manager in July 2017. During Altman's tenure, a number of quality young players were selected, including 2018 No. 8 Sexton, 2019 No. 5 Garland, No. 5 Ocorro in 2020 and No. 3 In 2021 Mobley. The Cavaliers currently have a record of 23 wins and 18 losses, surpassing last season.
