On January 19, sources revealed that the Lakers are peddling guard Horton Tucker in trading discussions.
As you know, the Lakers are currently trying to strengthen the team, although the chips in their hands are limited. The Lakers' biggest target is undoubtedly Pistons forward Grant.
Coincidentally, according to reports, there are currently 12 teams pursuing Pistons player Grant. The Lakers, Blazers, Knicks, Jazz, Wizards, Celtics, Pacers, Timberwolves and Kings have all expressed interest in the 27-year-old, according to sources.
The Pistons' current asking price for competing teams is 2 first-round picks or a first-round pick plus a young player with high potential. This asking price is almost impossible for the Lakers to achieve.
The US media said that after the Lakers lost to the Nuggets by 37 points, coach Vogel was almost sacked by the team.
Marc Stein confirmed the incident, saying: "I have also heard about the serious danger of Vogel's position, because he is not suitable to lead the aging squad, and he is also responsible for the absence of thick eyebrows, etc.
"If this happens, it will only be the latest example of the sports adage that 'coaches are the easiest to change.'" Stein wrote.
The main player has a thick eyebrow injury, the team's poor record, Andwey's integration difficulties, and the recent situation is almost no good news for the Lakers. If the Lakers' record is slow to improve, not to mention the championship, even the smooth entry into the playoffs, it will become a luxury.
