After the fiasco to the Nuggets, the lakers who lost three times in a row have reached the most critical moment, but the next schedule is too devilish, and if the Lakers maintain an undefended style of play, they will only continue to lose. Therefore, James continued to play convincing luxury data in the continuous defeat, and finally it was in vain. At present, the person responsible for the Lakers' loss is locked in head coach Vogel and the core westbrook in the backcourt, of course, some fans believe that James's non-defensive attitude has also affected other teammates to a certain extent.
In any case, according to the existing lineup, I am afraid that the playoffs will not be able to break through, and it is obviously time to test the ability of general manager Pelinka. Player trades for the Lakers to improve the team's record is the only way out, and now many trade rumors have emerged, and through identification, it is relatively reliable to plan a deal with the Kings. The protagonist of this plan is the Westbrook that fans most want to send away, and the Kings have long announced that all players can be traded, and the Lakers only need to find the right object in this player supermarket.
First of all, the Kings need Westbrook for the simple reason that the Kings are the most frequently rebuilt team in the league, and when all players can be sent away, they know how to meet the minimum salary requirements as quickly as possible. Westbrook is currently enjoying a contract of more than $40 million, and one person can meet the conditions. Secondly, no matter where Westbrook plays, brushing triple-double data and having the ball is a hard condition, and the broken Kings is undoubtedly the most suitable space to play.
Of course, the Kings will not only charge one less person, and it is expected that the Lakers will choose to give up the future again and take out the second round of draft picks as another trading chip. Next, the Lakers can take up to two people from the Kings, obviously it can't be Fox, after all, the talented player is too strong, and the Lakers' trading chips are not enough to match Fox. But there are still many good options, including Hield, who is on par with Curry in three-point shooting ability, and front-line big player Barnes.
There is a detail that proves that the Lakers like Hield, and when the Lakers and the Kings last met, Lakers owner Jenny Bass had a live interaction with Hield alone. Therefore, Jenny Bass's behavior more or less hints at where Pelinka's reinforcements are going. As for Barnes being a fairly versatile front, especially defensive hardness, it's exactly what the Lakers lack. If Pelinka can bring these two Kings team players through Wei Shao, it is a god operation. When the Lakers' lineup and play style tend to be reasonable, James's stats will definitely decline, but the team's performance will inevitably improve, and it is still interesting to try to compete for the championship this season.
