On February 10, Beijing time, the Lakers challenged the Blazers away, this battle, Wei Shao did not play due to back discomfort, James had to re-play the role of point guard, and his partner started with Thick Eyebrows, Ariza, Bradley, Munch. Throughout the game, the relatively neat lineup of the Lakers has never pulled the score away, although James handed over a luxurious data of 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, but the performance of Blazers potential rising star A-Simmons is more eye-catching, shooting 11 of 23 in the whole game, shooting 29 points and 5 assists, of which 25 points come from the second half. With A-Simmons' perfect play, the Blazers finally narrowly defeated the Lakers by 2 points, ending a 6-game losing streak while the Blazers gave the opponent Lakers 2 consecutive losses.
The results of the three-way transaction negotiation are out, and the Lakers have the last chance to turn over! For the Lakers, losing to the Blazers is an unacceptable result, you know, in the past week, the Blazers have sent away Powell, Covington, CJ and other core members, plus Lillard in a semi-reimbursement state, the Blazers almost won the Lakers with a set of extremely marginalized lineups, it is no exaggeration to say, according to the State of the Lakers' entire team today, it is like a small ant bumping around on the defensive end, not to mention the impact of the NBA championship, The Lakers are now struggling to be 100 percent sure of even a Western Conference playoff spot.
I believe that many fans have also recently paid attention to the NBA trading market, and look forward to the Lakers management can help the team get out of the predicament as soon as possible by rationalizing the adjustment of the existing lineup, the source comes from NBA reporter Michael Scott, the Lakers, Raptors, Knicks a total of three teams held a talk meeting, the theme is how to trade Horton Tucker and Goran Dragic. It is reported that as of now, the Rockets are the only team on the market willing to trade Westbrook, but the Lakers have no intention of handing over the 2027 quasi-lottery sign, resulting in the early collapse of the mutual trade plan between Westbrook and Wall.
All indications are that the Lakers are ready for the worst, if there is really no team willing to take over Westbrook, then they will use two future first-round picks as a trade to add to the head, trying to send Westbrook away this offseason, and then continue to build a team around James and Thick Brow. A bit far away, back to the point, in the case of bleak trading prospects, the Lakers can only adjust the lineup from Tucker and Nunn to find a way, according to Michael Scott, a source told him that the Lakers have made some gains in negotiations with the Knicks and Raptors, the result of the three-way discussion is that the Lakers get Redish, Burks; the Raptors get Tucker, Noel; the Knicks get Dragic, 1 Lakers provide the second round pick, 1 Raptors provide the second round pick.
Although this plan has not yet finally landed, it has been approved by a large number of NBA industry insiders, and some people even bluntly said that this three-way deal will become the Lakers' last chance to turn the tide this season. It is understood that the NBA trading window will be closed in less than 24 hours, so in a strict sense of analysis, the time left for the Lakers management to consider is not much, Grant, Turner, Gordon and other high-quality championship puzzles are indeed more suitable for the Lakers, but the transaction behind the extremely difficult, the Lakers are difficult to stand out in the robbery war, or that sentence, instead of sitting still, it is better to take the initiative, the Lakers need to win a chance to turn the tables for themselves.
Finally, focusing on Reddish and Burks, the data shows that these two players have stable three-point shooting and single-player defensive ability, which can be said to be a perfect match for the Lakers' tactical system. There is a saying that if it is successful to get Reddish, the Lakers should really thank Knicks head coach Thibodeau, it is precisely because the NBA master does not like Reddish, the Lakers have the opportunity to pick up the leak, otherwise Tucker + second round pick can not get Reddish + Burks. Do you think Redish can help the Lakers complete the turnover? Welcome to leave a comment in the comments section below to discuss, thank you for reading and following.
