On February 11, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season is in full swing. As of today, this season's NBA trading has officially ended. In the last trading day, the Lakers still did not move. According to ESPN, the Lakers will focus on the buyout market, and the current team has a full 15-man lineup, and they need to cut players to free up the lineup.
However, although the Lakers did not reach a deal, they did not fail to try. According to Brian Windhorst, the Lakers have always been interested in the Knicks' Reddish and launched an aggressive pursuit, and the Knicks and Lakers were very close to reaching the deal, but ultimately failed.
According to Evan Massey, the Lakers had negotiated a Trade with the Magic for Terrance Rose. The Magic want to trade Rose for a first-round pick. Later, the asking price fell to two second round picks, but in the end it was not achieved. So far this season, Terrance Rose has averaged 24.4 minutes per game, 10.9 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2 assists.
The most interesting thing for fans is undoubtedly the trading dynamics of Westbrook. According to Rockets reporter Fagan, "There was no movement yesterday and today, this deal is actually too simple, only need a phone call from the Lakers to get it done, which is easier to negotiate than most deals." According to previous reports, the Rockets asked the Lakers to put in the first round of 2027 in the Wall and Westbrook swap deals, but the Lakers were not willing.
According to salary expert Bobby Marks, "The Lakers don't have some mid-range contracts like the Cavaliers of the year with some 5-16 million. As I said last week, it's math, and limited draft pick resources don't make any difference. ”
As the title-winning hot team at the beginning of the game, the current Lakers' performance is very unsatisfactory, only 26 wins and 30 losses, currently ranked 9th in the West, 1 win away from the 8th Inc. Clippers in the West, and 5 wins from the Nuggets, who are 6th in the West, and whether they can make the playoffs is a question mark.
