With the Lakers two consecutive trades without results, the Lakers even appeared to trade James rumors, not to mention whether the Lakers will really trade James, just say that James himself also has a veto, as long as he does not want to leave the Lakers, then before the contract expires, there is no need to consider the transaction, and on the other hand, James is not the Lakers' problem. But it is meaningless to always discuss the achievements and performance of the Lakers, and no one can say exactly where the Lakers can go, today we may wish to take a look at the 37-year-old Zhan, or not the little emperor who exchanged everything in the transaction.
When analyzing the transaction value of a player, we often start from two angles, the first is the player's field value, that is, his strength as a professional player, and the second is the commercial value of the player, and the player with high commercial value is even greater than a championship in some cases.
James is the first person on the job, as a player's ability does not need too much elaboration, in fact, this season even if the age of old Zhan reached 37 years old, but his efficiency did not decrease but increased, in the Lakers' current game James has become the most efficient player at both ends of the team's attack and defense, obviously he has proved with practical actions that his ability is still at the level of the league's super giant. In terms of commercial value, James's ability to absorb gold can be called the first in the league, as the first person in the league, James is the guarantee of ticket data on the field, and the off-site is the guarantee of peripheral revenue, and in two aspects, James still has the transaction level of the first echelon of the league. But because of his age, James no longer has the ability to change any one person.
After talking about James' situation, let's analyze what players James can change individually. First of all, we have to exclude a series of future building blocks, such as Doncic of the Lone Ranger, Trey Young of the Hawks, and Morant of the Grizzlies, these players represent the future of their respective teams, although their current on-field ability and commercial value may not be as good as James, but youth and talent have become their biggest advantage, and the benefits they can bring to the team in the future will be far greater than James. In addition to these young players, there are also a few superstar players James can not do a single change, the first is Durant, Durant as an unsolvable offensive hand, is the Nets' current full reliance, especially after Harden left the team Durant's importance has increased, similar to Durant, Embiid, the 76ers are currently completely embiid as the core of the team, basically except for Jokic and Embiid may be swapped, there will be no other transactions.
In addition to the above players, the remaining players in the league can basically be replaced by James, no matter what team he goes to, James can bring a good playoff competitiveness to the team, which is already huge enough to estimate the off-field market. But to be honest, even if James needs to change a single player, most of the trading teams are also the financial benefits brought by James. After all, James is not young, and it is not realistic to rely on the old Zhan single core to win the championship. In the end, what other players do you think James can't change individually?
