On February 10, Beijing time, according to the "Orange County Chronicle" Lakers reporter Kyle Goon wrote an article, the player's uneasiness has been brewing in the Lakers locker room for several weeks. Some teammates believe that the current squad has had the opportunity to build a tacit understanding of teammates, but the current state of the team is difficult to work, and the key players in the team believe that the team's lineup status is unlikely to return the team to a winning season.
Offseason, the Lakers because of the salary problem only for the team to find a group of veteran players, Anthony, Howard, Ariza and other people are the base salary to join the Lakers, they gave up the high salary to Los Angeles intention is to compete for the championship, but after the beginning of the season, the Lakers are plagued by injuries, the team lineup has always been unable to be neat, which also led to the lack of tacit understanding and chemical reaction between the players.
Before the start of the game, many old fans had high hopes for the Lakers veterans, and now it seems that the Lakers will not meet the expectations of the fans. So far this season, the Lakers have ranked ninth in the West with a record of 26 wins and 28 losses, and have fallen out of the playoff team, which has also made the team very passive. Now that the NBA trading deadline is about to close, many fans have speculated that Pelinka will make a move.
Previously, there was news that the team traded Wei Shao and others, but due to Wei Shao's big contract, there was no team in the free market willing to take over Wei Shao's big contract, and the Lakers were not willing to put the first round of signing into the transaction, which also greatly increased the difficulty of the transaction.
In the Lakers' game against the Bucks, Westbrook comforted James and Davis after the game, saying to them that he was also eager to be there to help the team win, which was also considered by many fans that Westbrook was making a final farewell. Earlier, some reporters said that Wei Shao may miss today's game against the Blazers due to injury, which further confirms the fans' suspicions.
