After the Lakers won the Jazz, the team finally found some form and did not continue to slump. And in this game, Westbrook and James also played well, and the team seems to be slowly back on track! But in fact, those who have watched the game know that the Jazz team in this game did not show the state of a strong team, their back-to-back second game of physical fitness has been greatly affected, coupled with their choice of offensive end has a very big problem, the team did not play a game particularly seriously. So the Lakers want to get out of the predicament, really can't rely on the victory of this game alone, but also let the team make a substantial change!
The Lakers have always wanted to get Ben Simmons, Jeremy Grant or Miles Turner, but this kind of quasi-All-Star level player is difficult to get, especially the Lakers don't have too good chips in their hands now, and they don't have too many draft picks, so it is basically impossible for them to get such players, and the best chips in their hands may be Nunn, Tucker Jr. and limited quality draft picks!
According to journalist Eric Pincus, the Lakers hope Nunn will make his debut before the deal deadline — because most deals require contracts that include Tucker and Nunn. And since it's hard to trade Grant, Turner, and Ben Simmons, the team is targeting players who are more likely to trade, like Rockets veteran Eric Gordon and Magic veteran Terrance Rose!
According to Eric Pincus, the Lakers are still very likely to get these two veterans, but only if both teams are willing to get Tucker! In fact, these two veterans do not play a big role in the Rockets or Magic, after all, these two teams are the lowest-performing teams and want to develop young players. So if there are the right young players, or draft picks, they are willing to trade!
For the Lakers, if they can get Terrance Rose or Eric Gordon, then the overall strength of the team will be greatly improved, and the team's ability to attack will become stronger!
