This season, the Lakers formed the Big Three but did not achieve the expected results. Over the years, the Lakers have sacrificed many young players in the process of getting LeBron James, Anthony Davis, and Russell Westbrook. Today, the Lakers will be scattered across multiple teams and generally have excellent performances.

For example, in the early hours of this morning, the Wizards beat the 76ers 117-98, and the Wizards scored in double figures. Kuzma had 15 points and 16 rebounds, Pop had 14 points, and Harrell had a team-high 18 points plus seven rebounds. All three were chips sent by the Lakers in order to get Wei Shao, and now Wei Shao is questioned in the Lakers, but Kuzma, Pop and Harrell have become indispensable puzzle pieces for the Wizards, and the three of them have a total of 47 points today.
Originally, in order to clear the salary space to sign James, the Lakers first sent Russell away, and then gave up Randle. Now Russell and Randall have both made an All-Star once. In the Davis trade, the Lakers abandoned Ingram, Josh Hart, Lonzo Ball, and now Ball and Hart have both got good contracts, and Ingram has become an All-Star. Last offseason, in order to save money, the Lakers gave up Caruso, and now Caruso has become an indispensable puzzle for the Bulls.
Other players who have been sacrificed by the Lakers include Clarkson (who became the best sixth man after leaving the team), Zubac (who became the Clippers' starting center after leaving the team), and Nance Jr. (who became a quality role player after leaving the team). Because of this, there is a saying that the Lakers will scatter the sky full of stars.
Some of these departing players did not meet expectations when they played for the Lakers, and later became a chip for the Lakers to trade for stars. Some are sacrificed because the Lakers are sacrificed in order to clean up the salary space and save money. Regardless of the reason for their departure, except for Caruso, the other few who performed less than expected during the Lakers' performance, and the level of performance did not quite match the actual picks. But after leaving the Lakers, their data and performance have improved.
Former Warriors player Azeri felt incomprehensible about this phenomenon, writing on Twitter: "All the young players (Ball, Ingram, Randle, Hart) have played significantly badly with the Lakers, they have all been traded, they have become key players on other teams, some have become All-Stars, and even the cornerstone of the team." ”
"Is it tough to play in the city of Los Angeles? Or is there too much distraction? What is the real reason? ”
Many people think that Azeri is ridiculing James, but Azeri denies that he is targeting James, saying: "I am talking about the Lakers, not putting the blame on James." Because similar situations have occurred in the past, when Kobe Bryant led the team, many players had success elsewhere, but after coming to the Lakers, they were struggling. ”
The US media believes that for the Lakers, no matter how well the players who were sacrificed by them performed well on other teams, they did not need to care too much, because leaving those players may not be able to exchange for championships, but after getting James and Davis, they won the championship, which is enough.
