According to The Athletic reporter Shams Charania, multiple sources revealed that guard Goran Dragic and spurs agreed to a contract buyout to become a free agent. At the same time, according to reports, many teams will currently pursue Dragic, such as bucks, loners, Lakers, Warriors, Clippers, Bulls and Nets are also expected to participate in the battle.
Although according to the latest news, the Lone Ranger is Dragic's first choice, it is not excluded that the Lone Ranger will eventually give up recruiting Dragic, or other teams can give better conditions to attract Dragic, as an experienced veteran, Dragic is undoubtedly a very good piece of the title puzzle, especially his organizational ability, which has an excellent appeal for any coach.
So for the Los Angeles Lakers, whether they can get Dragic may become the key to whether they can regain their lives this season, this season has proved that Westbrook is not the kind of organizer that the Lakers want, he has too many mistakes, averaging 4 turnovers per game is the 4th in the league, coupled with extremely poor offensive and defensive efficiency, especially the average 30.1% three-point shooting rate per game, so that Westbrook can not give the Lakers too much positive help.
In contrast, Dragic has always been a steady organizer, although the average number of assists per game has not been very high, but he is still very sophisticated in terms of tactical execution, as well as combing the team's attack, and the average turnover per game is also quite well controlled. In terms of personal offense, Dragic's projection this season is also average, averaging only 28.6% of three-point shooting per game, but this may also be related to his unwillingness to play at the Raptors and not work hard, knowing that last season in the Heat, his three-point shooting rate was as high as 37.3%, and the three-point shooting rate in the 19-20 season was also 36.7%.
So for the Lakers, although they are not Dragic's first choice, if there is a chance, they should still try to get Dragic as much as possible, especially for the thick eyebrows, he needs a few players who can give him a comfortable feeding, this season the thick eyebrows are struggling in the Lakers, the personal offensive efficiency is also very unstable, to a certain extent, except for James, no one else can block with him, and no other player can give him a comfortable ball, Wei Shao, Munch can't, Neither can Reeves and Bradley, Tucker, and others.
But if the Lakers have Dragic, he can play a role similar to that of Rondo, and together with James, become the key to Vogel's activation of thick eyebrows again. And compared to the Bucks, Warriors, Lone Rangers and other teams, in fact, the Lakers are the team that can give Dragic more opportunities, after all, Vogel has made it clear with practical actions, when he thinks that Wei Shao can not help the team at a critical moment, he can directly make Wei Shao unable to play in the fourth quarter.
In such a situation, the Lakers still need a stable and reliable point guard in the fourth quarter or even more, and this role is perfect for Dragic, even if he comes to the Lakers can only play as a substitute, but it is very likely that in many games, especially in important games, the playing time and trust will be less than West. But if he goes to the Warriors, Bucks, Lone Rangers and other teams, he can get very little ball, and Dragic himself must know this.
