We have talked many times about the issue of Wei Shao, but here we still adhere to the previous view, and it is a waste of talent to let Wei Shao transform into an auxiliary person, and it is an act of putting the cart before the horse. The Lakers' use of Wei Shao should be more rational and more biased towards his characteristics, so as to achieve the purpose of really trading him.
So, what is the purpose of Westbrook being traded to the Lakers?
The biggest purpose is to help James reduce the burden.
Speaking of this, many people began to laugh - saying that it was to help James reduce the burden, how did it become a burden now? Wei Shao's inefficiency is visible to the naked eye, can't everyone understand it?
In fact, everyone ignores the most essential implementation method of reducing the burden on James. To reduce the burden on James, that is to say, Westbrook does more of what James does, lets James do less of his own work, and then reduces LeBron's responsibility and pay, and helps him spend the regular season healthily.
Speaking of this, everyone understands that to reduce the burden on James is not to let Wei Shao come to the James system as an accessory, but to make it a James in the James system.
We have talked many times before about the composition of the James system, such as Wade, Irving, Davis, such as the role of accessories, in the system, they can not replace James's role in function. The trio is essentially the end of the system, waiting for James to distribute the ball. And Wei Shao was introduced to the Lakers, the original intention is to become James, when James is off the field or tired, to take on the operation of the James system.
At this point, the Lakers have seriously misplaced Wei Shao.
Why take on the work of the James system?
Because no matter how James transforms or changes positions, his team is mostly implementing the operation mode of James's system, that is, the distribution model of James as the core. James was always in a commanding position, and was bound to instill a path dependence on others.
With this dependence, players are accustomed to the tactical running position and landing arrangement of James even when James is not present, and it is difficult to immediately run out of other or simple or complex tactical positions. In this case, then, it is very normal to find a player who basically plays like James to take on the core of James' system when James is off.
In terms of playing style, and even in terms of data accumulation, Westbrook is a player who is very similar to James, and they are the closest active players to the triple-double number. From the above theory, Wei Shao is a player who is very suitable for the Lakers. Then Wei Shao did not provide the effect that others expected, in addition to the above use as an accessory rather than a core use, there is also James or the Lakers coaching staff's hesitation about James' decentralization.
James did give up power, did play without the ball, but the strength was far from enough.
In some moments of urgent need of reflection, in some moments of losing streaks to the end, James finally calmed down to play without the ball, the effect on the court was better than expected, and in the process, Wei Shao's overall behavior was also regular. This shows that James playing without the ball and reducing the burden and distribution as the core of the system is very effective.
This naturally also shows that James's ability is strong and comprehensive, but out of consideration for the overall effect of the Lakers on the court, the praise for James's lack of ball must be limited to the release of the vitality of other ball holders, especially Westbrook.
If it is not limited, then the effect of James's no-ball will be considered as "the Lakers only James has the ability to be efficient, others are still not good", which is bound to breed the logical atmosphere of "the Lakers still have to rely on old Zhan" again, forcing the team to continue to walk back to the James system where James has power.
Why can't we go down this road again?
In fact, it is already very clear that the competitive level of James and Davis themselves is indeed not enough to support the high-intensity output and competitiveness of the system, and they must respect this objective law. Even if they play well in a few games, they are more often full of holes. They are no longer able to compensate for the uncontrollable control of role players, which means that their own ability is not enough to take risks and progress.
Only by breaking the old concept, producing new logic, willing to pay tactical position, and developing a system that reduces James as the core of the ball and increases the core of the ball as the core of the ball as soon as possible, the Lake talent is a truly promising team.
Wei Shao is very painful in the transformation, or because of the above, he has been misplaced, not trusted, not faced, and not chosen.
Pelinka claimed that Wei Shao's suffering was similar to that of Iguodala, but they faced very different situations. Iguodala didn't have the pressure to usher in a newer, right team, but the current Lakers are even a little bit of the basics that are very wrong.
Forcing Westbrook to transform will only increase the consumption of James and Davis in the time dimension. With the consumption of James, Davis's struggle will also increase, and we will find that when Westbrook completes the transformation well, that is, after improving efficiency, the basic problems of the Lakers are still very sharp.
In fact, Wei Shao needs to transform!
If James and the Lakers coaching staff have the confidence to continue to be strong, DNP Westbrook is enough. If they don't have this kind of self-confidence and are willing to let go of stereotypes and postures, and use Wei Shao's previous playing style (often let Wei Shao be himself), it is enough.
Why should Wei Shao transform?
People deliberately glorify the hero's twilight years and forget the road of dry work all day long, just to maintain his once high-headed posture...

Every move he made, every game, was a full-strength mentality, and his look before the end reminded me of the cherry blossoms – before the cherry blossoms bloom, they must hold the determination to wither.
Her face is like jade, her posture is like a pine, her wings are like a frightening, and her face is like a dragon.

The above is given to the Lakers.
