The Lakers, who were also known as the big favorites to win the championship at the beginning of the season, are now in big trouble, and the age and injury problems that have been worried by everyone from the beginning have been plaguing the development of the Lakers, although it is the so-called Big Five, the players have never really been in one heart, Howard and Davis even openly clashed on the bench, you can imagine how serious the contradictions of this team have been.
What's worse is that the team doesn't just have one internal contradiction, Davis and Howard's knot has been unraveled, and Davis himself is plagued by injuries and has missed many games. Davis's injury got rid of the Lakers' state, but it also led to another problem that became more prominent, Westbrook's bad shooting and 40 million big contract has become a burden to the team, and it has made many teammates dissatisfied, and it can even be said that because Westbrook's wrong shooting choices have caused the Lakers to lose a lot of games.
For the Lakers to recruit Westbrook has always been very controversial, in the style of play is completely similar to James, and there is no strong body like James, the Lakers' starting point may be to find a James stand-in, but unfortunately there is no consideration of the chemistry between players, Westbrook's average score in recent games is not more than double digits, the shooting rate is even lower than outrageous, the Lakers are even less than wins, not to mention the championship thing, whether it can rush out of the Western Playoffs is a big problem.
Westbrook's shooting caused dissatisfaction among his teammates, especially Anthony, who bluntly said in a recent interview with the media that he had never heard him say that the team would recruit Westbrook before he was recruited by James, and he also emphasized a sentence that was never said. Careful fans may find that these two people are rarely on the court at the same time, even on the field will rarely pass the ball to each other, even if the other side is a big vacancy, it is interesting that the two have been teammates in the Thunder, and the Thunder Triumvirate, who is also aiming to win the championship, ended in a mess, perhaps at that time the two have already had a big idea.
The Lakers' rumors today can be described as flying all over the world, Andsbrook personally has been subjected to great public pressure, the Lakers' record is crotch, and at this time, the team contradictions have broken out again, and the only thing waiting for them may be a trade.
