At 4:00 a.m. Beijing time on February 11, the NBA's 2021-22 trading deadline ended, and the Los Angeles Lakers (intentional teams) once again did not receive any results in the trading market. According to statistics, this is also the third consecutive year that the Lakers have gained nothing before the trade deadline, and the last time there was a move was in 2019, when the Lakers sent Beasley and Zubac in exchange for Muscala. (At the time, he only played 17 games for the Lakers, averaging 5.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game.)
Next, let's briefly review the Lakers' operations before the trading deadlines of the last three seasons!
In the 2019-20 season, when the Lakers were interested in small Morris, the result was snatched away by the city rival Clippers, and Morris averaged 15.7 points, 5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game this season, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 38.7%. (Fortunately, at that time, he signed Big Morris, which is also a big help in the playoffs, and is one of the heroes of the Lakers' championship)
In the 2020-21 season, because Schroder's performance did not meet expectations, the Lakers showed a strong interest in Lowry at that time, and finally because the Lakers were unwilling to give up Tucker Jr., the transaction did not materialize. This season's Lowry averaged 13 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.2 steals per game, although the score was average, but he had a clear view of the Heat's improvement, and then look at Tucker Jr., averaging 9.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 41% from the field, shooting 26.9% from three-point range, almost no trading value, the Lakers want to shoot are difficult.
In the 2021-22 season, the Lakers' current record is 26 wins and 30 losses, ranking 9th in the West. Westbrook showed a crotch, the Lakers intentionally wanted to seek a change, but because of a first-round pick led to the collapse of the deal; the Lakers intended Burks and Redish, and ultimately failed to succeed, because Tucker Jr. was not looked up to, and the Lakers were reluctant to take Nunn. (In the offseason, the Lakers gave up DeRozan and Hield, signed Westbrook, and now want to cry without tears)
After the previous upset loss to the Trail Blazers, Lakers reporter Dave McMenamin reported: The team generally believes that the entire team must make changes, otherwise it is difficult to improve the team's record with such a lineup. But even so, because Westbrook can't shoot, because Tucker has no trading value, because Nunn has not yet participated in a game, because the Lakers are basically basically basically basically paid contracts except for the Big Three, so even if the Lakers management is very hard, it still hasn't won anything. (Los Angeles is interested in Ross, Gordon, Dragic, Schroeder, Burkes, Reddish and others)
Forming the Big Three may be a shortcut to success, but when you find that this road does not work, it is not so easy to change the route, the Nets are seeking a road to self-help, but the Lakers may not have such good luck, so at this moment, I not only feel that Wei Shao is pitiful, but also feels that the Lakers are pitiful.
