The NBA trading day has ended, the teams are crazy to strengthen, the Nets and the 76ers directly appeared in a big deal, and the defending champion Bucks are trading Ibaka, compared to these championship teams, the Lakers who have always wanted to change have been moving, from beginning to end it is thunder and rain, and finally General Manager Pelinka can only tell the fans that they will not trade, can only put all the team's hopes this season on the free market, such an ending, so that many fans who like the Lakers are dissatisfied, After all, the Lakers' current record is 26 wins and 30 losses, ranking 9th in the West, 4 wins away from the 6th Nuggets, and it is difficult to compete for the championship if you rely on the current lineup.
In the free market, the Lakers are currently interested in three guard players, according to NBA reporter Jovan Buha's news, the Players that the Lakers hope to get in the buyout market are: Dragic, Millsap, Thompson, Bledsoe, Schroeder, Harris, Satoransky, etc., but at present these players have not yet determined whether they will be bought out, the Lakers believe that they will definitely improve the overall strength of these players, and compared to these center and forward players, the Lakers are most interested in three guard players, Schroeder , Dragic and Bledsoe. Before the Rockets traded to Schroeder, the Lakers intended to trade Schroeder, but in the end it did not work.
And these three guard players, in fact, it is difficult to join the Lakers, Schroeder has played for the Lakers for a season, he has proved that he and James can not coexist, in the Lakers a season, Schroeder is not successful, even if the Rockets buy it out, he may not choose to join the Lakers, and Dragic has previously made it clear that if bought out by the Spurs, he will join the Lone Ranger to assist Doncic, the Lakers are just their own wishful thinking, Bledsoe is an uncertain factor, his playing style and relative independence, Perhaps not suitable for Vogel's tactical system. In summary, if these players are bought out, the Lakers' competitiveness is not much compared to the Nets, 76ers, and Bucks.
There was no trade on the Lakers trade deadline, and head coach Vogel was in a very good mood, and when the whole team was interviewed at the end of training, he said: This season's trade has passed, which is good news for the team, and the whole team is more energetic than ever whether it is training or watching game videos. Wogel was very relieved that Tucker Jr. was not traded, and Vogel said: Tucker has played very well this season, playing his own advantage in playing time, and his ability to block and create points has been extreme.
The Lakers did not trade, the team maintained the original lineup, which allowed all players to no longer worry about the risk of being traded, and play for the Lakers with peace of mind, and the spirit improvement is what Vogel wants to see.
During the transaction, the Lakers' biggest trading rumor was about Wei Shao and Tucker Jr., after the end of the training, Wei Shao talked about the expectations for the next game, he said: Before the trade deadline, his name has been in the trading rumors, it has passed, look forward to the whole team can show everyone their more positive side, hope that the team's record will be higher, before his absence from the game is because of back discomfort, the main reason for this is that he does not like to sit for a long time, The next game against the Warriors will determine whether to play based on their physical condition.
In the end, Wei Shao stayed with the team, hoping that Wei Shao could show his strength in the second half of the tournament.
