US media: The Lakers will not win the playoffs if they do not change, they urgently need to start two sets of plans

The Lakers' performance this season has been disappointing, and the AMERICAN media "Fox Sports" believes that the Lakers have reached a moment of urgent need for change, otherwise, they will miss the playoffs. The media also gave two sets of suggestions, the Lakers need to bring in basket guards like Miles Turner, and they need to put Westbrook on the bench.

The Lakers are a mess this season, Westbrook was traded to the Lakers, but the cooperation between the two sides this season has been like a nightmare. As a whole, the Lakers have been trying to meet the expectations of fans, but they found that they simply could not do this, and in the last game against the Nuggets, the Lakers lost 73 points in the first half and eventually suffered a fiasco.

Seeing the Lakers perform like this, the team's legendary superstar "Magic" Johnson also couldn't help but grumble in Twitter, he called out to the boss Jenny Bass, she should have created more for the team.

"As Lakers fans, we can accept being beaten, but we can't stand the lack of effort and urgency on the team, Jenny Bass, you deserve better people."

ESPN star Stephen A- Smith interpreted "Magic's" comments on Bath as a signal that the team must make changes, otherwise the Lakers will face the risk of missing out on the playoffs.

"That's the reality." "The Lakers have had to make changes, whether it's a trade or a change of coach, and that change is coming," Smith said. ”

With the transfer trade deadline approaching, it remains to be seen who the Lakers can trade, but there is a name that has been mentioned by the team, that is, Pacers center Miles Turner, the 25-year-old interior contract has one year left, the Pacers are also open to trading, if the Lakers can exchange Turner, he will undoubtedly provide the team with the necessary defense and basket, thus providing some sparks to move forward.

Of course, more realistically, fans want Westbrook to spark inside, and after coming to the Lakers, Westbrook had a tough time, averaging 18.7 points per game the lowest since the 2009-10 season.

After "Magician" Johnson's previous comments, Westbrook still appeared calm in the post-match press conference, saying: "Everyone in this world has the right to express their opinions, but he is not around us every day. ”

Around James and Anthony Davis, Westbrook has struggled to find his place in the team, and he's also struggling to fit in, but hasn't been able to find the right way.

Former NBA player Tim Legler believes that there is a way to solve the problem of Westbrook, the team needs to put him on the bench, let Westbrook have 6-7 minutes to lead the team alone, which can give full play to his personal advantages, the Lakers need to try it in two halves, so that the Lakers become Westbrook's team for a period of time. ”

In the past, this advice was unimaginable, but now it has become a feasible choice, Westbrook has been a star player throughout his career, and now back home he has become a substitute player, and he needs to overcome psychological discomfort.

Coach Vogel is also questioned, in the 2019-20 season, Vogel led the team to win the championship, last season, he failed to lead the team through the first round, but as far as this season is concerned, the Lakers are unlikely to change coaches, they need to seize the last seat in the playoffs, otherwise this team is difficult to account to the fans.
