News on January 19, with the trade deadline approaching, many Los Angeles Lakers fans expect the team to make up for some of the shortcomings of the current lineup through trades, but from the predictions given by industry insiders, such expectations may be disappointed.
Not long ago, the famous sports journalist Adrian Wojnarowksi gave what he thought was the solution for the Los Angeles Lakers to get out of the predicament, "I think, to a large extent, the Way the Lakers improve their shortcomings should be internal self-adjustment." They actually don't have much valuable trading chips, and there are not many teams in the trading market that actively seek to trade now, and a few teams that are interested in trading receive more offers than the Lakers offer. ”
In fact, for Woj's prediction, we should not be surprised, as far as the media summary is concerned, the trading market believes that the players with trading value in the Lakers are nothing more than Tucker Jr., Munch and Nunn. But the current situation is that Nunn has not yet appeared because of a knee injury, and Munch has only existed as a "head" because the contract amount is too small, even if it is a transaction. So it's okay to send them out, but certainly not now.
Coupled with the increasingly important role Munch currently plays in the Lakers, the Lakers do not have to do the "lost watermelon and picked sesame seeds" thing.
Westbrook is currently the most mentioned in various deal rumors, but the amount of his contract and his personal performance have affected the value of his deal.
