According to previous news reports, the Nets have decided to part ways with veteran player Millsap, and the team is now actively looking for a deal to be able to send Millsap away before the trade deadline. According to the NBA's famous Jack Fisher's current news report, the Lakers in the Western Division are currently paying attention to Millsap, but the Lakers do not seem to plan to trade Millsap's players with the Nets, they prefer that the Nets can buy out Millsap's player contract, and then the Lakers can directly pick up the signing.
In this season's NBA regular season, Millsap played a total of 24 NBA regular season games with the Nets, averaging 11 minutes per game, and finally Millsap averaged 3.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1 assist per game this season. Because the role position in the Nets lineup is lower than his psychological expectations, it is now also the official breakup between Millsap and the Nets. However, so far, the Nets have not found an ideal trading partner in the league, so the Lakers also hope to chase the league veteran after Millsap bought out the contract.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Lakers, who currently have a poor NBA regular season record, there is another team in the league that is also interested in getting Millsap, which is now the Bulls, who are now ranked No. 1 in the Eastern Division with a regular season record. NBA league star Scotto revealed that the Bulls management believes that Millsap's addition will enhance the team's frontcourt depth and eventually help the team in the playoffs this season, so now the Bulls are also full of interest in Millsap.
One thing to say is that even if the Lakers finally successfully picked up the leak and got Millsap, I am afraid that he will find it difficult to play a good data performance in the Lakers. To know that Millsap will officially turn 37 years old this month, his competitive state on the court has long been old, and in the current regular season, Millsap's shooting and three-point shooting rate are only 37.6% and 22.2%, respectively, such an efficiency performance is obviously very bad. Therefore, the arrival of Millsap may not solve any problems. In fact, it is also possible to understand the current Lakers management, after all, the Lakers now have no valuable chips in their hands, plus Wei Shao is difficult to trade off due to contract reasons, so the team management can only try to sew up small troubles, otherwise what else can they do?
