This season's Lakers, the record has not reached the expected goal. After the victory over the Trail Blazers, the Lakers' winning percentage this season still does not reach 50%. With James injured, the Lakers are still a bit stretched on the inside rotation. According to media reports, the Lakers intend to introduce Nets player Millsap through a trade. Previously, the Nets had reached an agreement with Millsap that Millsap would no longer play games and that the team would send him to a team that could realize his value.
The Nets are asking for a second-round pick, and the Lakers are willing to trade Millsap from the Nets by sending Bazmore and a second-round pick. Millsap is important to the Lakers, and after Big Morris left the Lakers, Davis did not have a qualified five-small lineup number five substitute.
During the season, Davis played the no. 5 position for a long time, which greatly increased his risk of injury. In Cameron Anthony's stature, playing the fourth position is barely qualified, but it is difficult for him to play the fifth position to defend the opponent's fifth position. Millsap had an important role with the Nuggets, and when he was with the Nuggets, he limited Anthony Davis's playoffs to some extent in the playoffs.
Bazemore has played badly with the Lakers this season, and he originally started and lost his value. Bazemore has performed well with the Warriors, and if he joins the Nets, he can improve the team's flanking strength. For now, the deal is still under discussion. The Nets also need to consider Millsap's wishes, according to previous media reports, Millsap prefers to join the Bulls rather than the Lakers.
