On February 9, Beijing time, the Lakers sat at home to meet the defending champion Bucks, although the three giants of the Purple and Gold Army all played, but the Lakers fell behind by 14 points in the first quarter, and the first three quarters were completely suppressed by the Bucks. At the end of the third quarter, the Purple and Gold Army trailed by as many as 24 points 85-109, and the suspense of the game was not much.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the third quarter of the game, the broadcaster posted the countdown to the NBA's trade deadline this season, and there are still 39 hours to close the trading door, and the camera is also aimed at the serious-looking Lakers general manager Pelinka for the first time, it can be said that the camera language is very obvious: Will the Lakers have any action next?
Before the game against the Bucks, the Lakers have only made 26 wins and 28 losses this season and are ranked 9th in the West. Although the poor record of the Purple and Gold Legion and James and Thick Brow Brother missed a large number of games, the Lakers' serious decline in defense this season is also visible to the naked eye, and the game in which the big three play at the same time, the Lakers' record has not reached the expectations of the outside world. It's two-thirds of the way through the season, and it's clear that the Lakers' Big Three just don't fit in.
However, for the Lakers, it is too difficult to send away Wei Shao, the turtle still has two years of contract, the annual salary is more than 40 million, basically no team is willing to accept Wei Shao's contract. Even if the Purple and Gold Legion can make a move before the trade deadline, I am afraid it can only be a small repair, according to previous reports, the Lakers are interested in Terrance Rose and Richardson, and it remains to be seen whether they can complete the transaction in the last two days!
