As a legendary center who helped the Lakers win three championship trophies, James Worthy today witnessed his home team lose to the shattered Blazers, and when the full game was over, the 60-year-old Worthy said bluntly on the show that this was the lowest moment for the Lakers in his memory for so many years. It is understood that due to the Blazers' recent 3 big trades, Billups can only send A-Simmons, Nurkic, Winslow, McLemo, Elbey today, this lineup whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end, and the Lakers Zhan Mei combination led by the starting five Tigers there is no small gap.
However, the Blazers actually defeated the Lakers with such a set of residual teams, and A-Simmons, who is known as the cornerstone of the team, played a professional masterpiece, scoring 25 points in the second half and leading the Blazers to complete the headwind reversal. It is worth mentioning that in today's game, many Lakers players were absent-minded, resulting in as many as 21 mistakes on the whole team, indirectly giving 28 points to the opponent.
It is reported that the long-term play in the trade rumors, so that the Lakers young players have a huge change in the mentality, the name often appears in the major trading plans Tucker and Munch performance is particularly obvious, today, the two of them sent a total of 9 mistakes, of which 2 occurred in the most critical fourth quarter, although the loss is not one person's fault, but if Tucker and Munch can handle the details, the Lakers may be able to resist the Blazers' ferocious counterattack. Tucker and Munch will be packed up for the Thunder? This is the last chance the Lakers left for Vogel!
As we all know, in the 2018-19 season, that is, James's first season with the Lakers, due to the early exposure of the Stud Thick Eyebrow Plan, a number of young players, including Ingram, had no intention of fighting, coupled with James's groin injury, the Lakers finally failed to break into the Western Playoffs. With previous failure experience, James is currently very sensitive to trading rumors, when it was found that Tucker and Munch had similar signs, James spoke out for the first time, calling on the Lakers to unite and not to care too much about the trading rumors.
But it will still come, the source comes from NBA reporter Nick Crane, the Lakers have been very active in the free market recently, and as the deal deadline approaches, the final buyer has gradually surfaced, according to sources, the Thunder and the Lakers reached a preliminary consensus on player trade, in order to get Munch and Tucker, two potential new stars, the Thunder are willing to put Dolt, Favors, Kenridge Williams on the shelves.
From the follow-up report, it is understood that the Lakers also need to add 1-2 second-round picks to the transaction chips, and the two sides are currently in the final discussions, and after the number of second round picks and the year are determined, Munch and Tucker are expected to join the Thunder hand in hand. For Lakers head coach Vogel, this deal will be his last chance to achieve self-redemption, leaving aside Favors, Williams and Dolt are the league's top defensive top soldiers, enough to replace Kuzma, Pop, Green and other tough players in the Lakers once played, if the team does not improve again, then the Lakers can only say goodbye to Vogel.
In fact, in the eyes of many NBA team executives, Vogel's Lakers career has long entered the countdown stage, at first Wei Shao was able to help him share some pressure, but with the Lakers' adjustment of playing time, the team management slowly found that reducing the use of Wei Shao did not improve the record, so that Vogel's coaching ability caused a lot of doubts, according to a Lakers insider, if you wake up tomorrow morning, everyone sees the news of Vogel's class, he will not be surprised at all, because the Lakers have long lost patience.
