The Lakers from the beginning of the season before the championship fever, slipped to the current West ranked 9th team, in the second half of the season into the competition, the Lakers showed the competitiveness, not to mention the championship, can not compete for the Western playoff tickets are suspense, even one of the big three West Are caught in the deal rumors, this is indeed the heart, but the Lakers want to strengthen the plan should not be a secret, because the American journalist Marc Stein said that the Lakers are willing to use Tucker, Nine + The 2027 first-round pick offers Grant to the Pistons.
Whether the Lakers make such an offer or not, at least it is true that the Lakers intend to strengthen, because the Lakers do not want to give up completely this season. In addition, Grant has averaged 20.1 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.12 steals + blocks so far this season, the free throw shooting rate is 84.9%, is an offensive and defensive player, as for whether the Lakers need players very much do not understand, but Grant this season's annual salary of 19.05 million, the Lakers' offer plan If you can get Grant, it is indeed a good reinforcement program, in short, it is worth trying, the problem is that the Lakers are blocked, the offer plan is rejected, even if it is rejected, Grant, who loves him, is also reluctant to join forces with the Lakers' Big Three.
Lakers reporter Jovan Buha said that even if Grant is traded, the Pistons will not send him to the Lakers. The Pistons have previously rejected the Lakers' offer plan, believing that it is the most sincere offer at the moment, but the Pistons still refused, and the most distressing point is that Grant is not willing to join the Lakers, he does not want to become the third person of the team.
Even if Grant joins the Lakers, it will not be the third person, but the fourth person, because the Lakers have a combination of the big three, and Grant is not even willing to do the third person, let alone the fourth person on the team. Grant as the Lakers' favorite person, but unwilling to join the Lakers, it seems that the Lakers reinforcement is inevitable, because this season the Lakers can take the chips are not much, unless the three big combinations are broken, the problem is that the transaction value of Westbrook may not be exchanged for Ben Simmons, although Westbrook is already a Hall of Fame level player, but the performance of joining the Lakers for a period of time, Westbrook really lost his own trading value.
Even Grant is not willing to come to the Lakers, the Lakers who do not have too many chips, want to complete the reinforcement before the trade deadline, it is not an easy thing to do, then whether the Lakers can succeed this season, the only thing worth praying about in the existing lineup is that the big three can play healthy, such a Lakers are actually not 100% need Grant.
