On January 15, Beijing time, in a recent interview, Wei Shao publicly stated that he did not regret joining the Lakers, and also said that he was the biggest player sacrificed by the Lakers, and responded that he did not care about falling into the rumors of the transaction.
Talking about whether he regretted coming to the Lakers, Wei Shao said: Not at all. Like I said before, I don't regret it at all, because for me, there are some things that are more important than basketball.
Speaking of his own sacrifice, Wei Shao said: I know that I am the one who has to make the greatest sacrifice among us, and I understand this. So I had to find a way to do my best for this team, and that was it.
Speaking about the team's run-in, Westbrook said: "We are still trying to figure it out, and there is no answer yet; however, we have indeed changed the way we play.
Speaking of getting caught up in trading rumors, Wei Shao replied: Every year my name is in the trading rumors, whether (trading) happens or not, it will not change my mentality or goals. I have a goal that is more important than basketball, and no matter what happens in the professional arena, I always see it as my top priority.
So far this season, Wei Shao has played 42 games for the Lakers, averaging 35.5 minutes per game to contribute 18.7 points, 8.2 assists, 8.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals, shooting 43.7%, 28.8% and 65.6% respectively, and recently scored three consecutive games without double-doubles; Wei Shao's poor performance has been questioned many times, and whenever the Lakers lose, the outside world often calls for a hurry to trade Wei Shao.
Due to the poor performance, Westbrook's latest 2K ability value is 81, and the Lakers' old Kuzma ability value has risen to 82, so the comparison is really very hard; last offseason, the Lakers and wizards reached a big deal, Kuzma is one of the Lakers' chips to attract Westbrook.
