On February 11, Beijing time, the closing date of this season's trading has been closed, it is reported that the Lakers have not reached any deal, after the news that the Lakers will deal with Wei Shao's contract, but no team in the trading market is willing to take over Wei Shao.
According to the famous Brian Windhorst revealed on the show, the Lakers had tried to replace Wall and Wood with Westbrook + Horton Tucker + 27 years in the first round, but they were unsuccessful. Pelinka wants Towell for Wall, which is not a bad thing for both the Lakers and the Rockets, but the problem is that the deal adds up, and the Lakers want to exchange Tucker and the first round for Wood, which is simply impossible.
So far this season, Tucker has averaged 9.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, and Wood has averaged 17.7 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Previously, the Lakers in order to renew the contract with Tucker, let go of Caruso and others, it can be seen that the Lakers management is very optimistic about this young man, but Tucker is an ordinary person in the eyes of other teams, and the Lakers want to exchange Tucker for Wood Is indeed a bit whimsical.
Speaking of Wood as a player, his play style is clear, can be inside and outside, if the Lakers can really trade him, his combination with Davis is also quite interesting, but the Lakers do not have the Rockets' satisfactory chips in their hands, which eventually led to the collapse of the two sides.
After the NBA trading market is closed, it is temporarily impossible for the Lakers to introduce reinforcements through trading, which also means that the team will shift its attention to the buyout market, and there will be many high-quality veteran players who will be bought out by the parent team to enter the free market, which is also a good opportunity for the Lakers to introduce reinforcements.
