At the trade deadline, the Lakers did not receive anything, did not send away Wei Shao, and did not have any transactions, they could only retain the existing lineup. Of course, the Lakers still want to make a difference in the buyout market, but with the Lakers' current configuration, it is very difficult to compete for the championship. From the perspective of the pattern in the West, the Suns and Warriors are still hot, the Lone Rangers make lineup adjustments, the Grizzlies and Jazz are not easy to play, and the Lakers can only take one step at a time, advanced to the playoffs.
It's not news that the Lakers want to trade, but they don't have many suitable trading chips. Westbrook's trading value can be said to be the lowest, Tucker's performance also makes his value less, and Nunn is included in the trading chip, but he has been recuperating. In this case, coupled with the Lakers' 10 base salary lineup configuration, there is no value in the trading market.
By the deadline, the Lakers had indeed made an effort, and they had expressed interest in Burks and Schroeder, but they just didn't have the right chips. Such a situation also makes the Lakers a spectator on the trading deadline. The Lakers' big three have stayed, Wei Shao has stayed in the Lakers, at least this season, he still has to play with Zhan Mei, so what kind of play he will have, the future is still a point of view.
After experiencing this trading storm, I believe that Wei Shao should also have a clear understanding of himself, and he can only go to save himself. The Lakers want to continue the hope of winning the championship in the future, and I think two factors are very important. First, the importance of thick eyebrows must be taken seriously, and he must also take responsibility for himself. The last time he played the Blazers, he didn't shoot in the fourth quarter, which is not normal in itself, and the young thick eyebrows should be the upper limit of this Lakers.
Second, the role positioning of Wei Shao, how should he play, the Lakers have run into half a season, and have not yet found the answer. So Vogel's coaching position is now also encountering problems, now the transaction is no possibility, once the Lakers continue to be bad, Is Vogel also likely to be adjusted? At least regarding the use of Westbrook, the Lakers should have to change, otherwise, this season is doomed to fail to make a difference.
The Nets' big three scattered, but they exchanged Ben Simmons, Cescuri, Drummond and draft picks, and the harvest was not much, the Lakers' big three remained, but they were still a mess. Lakers and Nets, difficult brothers, who can get out of the quagmire, this has also become the focus of future games.
