Recently, the Lakers' poor game performance has pushed the team's coach Vogel to the cusp of the storm, and even almost been dismissed after losing the game to the Pacers before, but from the latest reports in the US media, Wall's class crisis should have been lifted, according to ESPN Lakers team reporter Dave McMenamin reported: "According to what I know, the Lakers will continue to use Vogel, and I expect him to coach the Lakers in the rest of the season." ”
Continuing to use Vogel means one thing, Westbrook is most likely the Lakers management in the deal with the target before the trade deadline, because the Lakers' goal this season has not changed, the team is still aiming for the championship, but want to use the current lineup Even after the return of the thick eyebrows, it is difficult for the Lakers to survive the first round in the playoffs, let alone the championship. So what the Lakers' management needs to do is not only to deal with Westbrook, but ideally to be able to bring in championship puzzle players at the same time as Westbrook trades.
The recent rumors of the Lakers' deal with the Rockets are frequent, the most widely circulated is that Westbrook and Wall are exchanged, NBA reporter Marc Stein reported that the Rockets are the only team in the league that may be willing to accept Westbrook through a trade, but the Rockets are not interested in Westbrook playing for themselves again, they want to exchange some future assets and get rid of Wall.
Some people may question Wall's current ability for this trade proposal, after all, he has not played for a long time, considering his past injuries, it is difficult to guarantee his form on the field. But in fact, everyone ignores one thing, that is, the agent of the old Jennon brow, Fu Paul, is also Wall's agent, according to Ringer reporter O'Connor, considering the relationship between the Lakers and Rich Paul, the Lakers should have reliable intelligence about Wall's condition. Paul Fu is also the agent of James, Davis, and Wall, and he and the Lakers' core interests are aligned. They all wanted to put Zhan Mei in the best position and win. At the same time, Paul Fu also hopes to put Wall in the best position and rekindle his career. Theoretically, on the issue of Wall's adaptation to the Lakers, Paul Fu and Pelinka can be honest with each other!
Under the impetus of the old Zhan agent, the transaction of the Wei Shaowall swap will gradually become clear. Referring to Wall's performance in the Rockets last season, he can still hand over 20.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 6.9 assists in 32 minutes per game, which proves that his scoring ability is no problem, and Wall can average nearly 7 assists per game to the Lakers will also be a big help. Although Wall has not played for the Rockets this season, he has been maintaining personal training, and according to the latest news, Wall is currently training in Miami and is not following the team. And he had also discussed with the Rockets management about the idea of wanting to play, which also proved his physical condition.
Of course, the chips asked for by the Rockets in this deal negotiation are also very clear, according to previous reports, the Rockets want to get the lakers in the first round of 2027, although this is a very important chip for the Lakers, but at present for the team's management they have no better way to get rid of Westbrook, can be exchanged with Wall only a first round can be said to be the smallest price, get Wall at least can count on the team in the championship ranks, if you continue to keep Westbrook The result is unknown.
