With the Lakers' six-game away schedule and the strong comeback of thick eyebrows, the team's record has not improved much, and the playoff qualification is in jeopardy. As of now, There is still no good news coming out of Lakers general manager Pelinka, but news about various deals is constantly flowing, which at least proves that Pelinka is indeed acting, and is very cautious, and there is reason to believe that he can bring surprising deals. Of course, the Lakers themselves can provide a deal chip that is not attractive enough, unless they are willing to trade with the supergiant with thick eyebrows, otherwise it is the best possibility to retain the Big Three lineup and bring in balloon stars.
Sure enough, after the Lakers' away defeat to the 76ers, the Lakers quickly spread the news of a relatively reliable transaction, which seemed to boost the morale of the team for the upcoming back-to-back game against the Hornets. Some media revealed that the Lakers will only send Tucker and a second round pick this time, which is completely in line with the previous rumors, and the Lakers are selling Tucker at full strength. The main deals are the Knicks, who are highly likely to miss the playoffs, and the Magic, who want to rebuild.
Coincidentally, the players the Lakers want to bring in are completely consistent in terms of transliteration, all called Rose, they are former MVP Derrick Rose, and front guard swinger Terrence Rose. Obviously, both of these are extremely favorable trading options for the Lakers. The first is Derrick Rose, whose athleticism is not as good as it was then, but his three-point long-range shooting and mid-range jump shooting ability is definitely stronger than Westbrook's, and his positioning is that westbrook's substitute may get about the same playing time as Westbrook.
Because in terms of fit, Rose is more suitable for pairing with James, at least the defenders will not let go of Derrick Rose, which gives James more scoring space. In addition, the Lakers' number of mistakes on the offensive end is likely to be reduced, derrick Rose's ability to control the court and the stability of the control pass are better than Wei Shao, and the play is obviously more reasonable. Wei Shao's problem is difficult to solve, at least it is impossible to exchange him for a transaction, and can only be resolved with the help of the former super giant with comparable strength to share the appearance time with him.
And the Magic's Terrance Rose also has a different advantage, averaging nearly 12 points per game this season, the key is to have a good defensive ability, like Westbrook's kind of protection leakage and lack of concentration, this Rose can completely make up for it. When necessary, Terrance Rose can also act as a defender, and versatility will be Vogel's favorite trait. In addition, both the Knicks and the Magic welcome Tucker, after all, he is both young and talented, and he is very suitable for serving as the core of the rebuilding team. Initially, the Lakers' trading chips are relatively certain, as to which Rose can be brought, it is conducive to the strength of the team. Perhaps Derrick Rose's assist to James is more exciting, they and Westbrook are both MVP, if they can win the first championship with james's help, their careers will be quite perfect.
