The All-Star has come to an end, with James winning and Curry winning the all-new MVP trophy. This time, only James of the Lakers was selected as an All-Star, and one of his team's starting players was rumored with the Lakers in the offseason, and he was DeRozan. Looking at his outstanding performance, and then looking at The performance of Westbrook, I believe that the Lakers fans are very bad.
In the final moments of the All-Star Game, James sent a pass of the killer ball, which Wasrozan passed to him, and when James hit the deadly ball, DeRozan also came up to him for the first time to celebrate. At this moment, I believe that Lakers fans will sigh that these two people have the opportunity to cooperate in the offseason last year, but it is a pity that the Lakers hesitated and missed this combination.
After the All-Star end, the famous Ramona Shelburne also talked about the Lakers' operation last offseason in the "NBA Today" program, when they faced a three-choice situation.
At that time, the Lakers wanted to bring a helper to James and Davis, they had a choice of Westbrook, Hield and DeRozan, and in the end, the Lakers chose Westbrook. Although the Lakers and DeRozan have always been linked, the reporter revealed that the Lakers and DeRozan have never reached the point of near success.
The Lakers were unwilling to offer a 3-year contract to DeRozan, which led to the inability of the two sides to reach an agreement, and there was no further conversation. In the end, the Bulls signed DeRozan to $81.9 million for a 3-year deal, and that choice seems to be the right one.
After joining the Bulls, DeRozan reached the peak of his career, thanks to his three seasons with the Spurs. In San Antonio, DeRozan has become more comprehensive and more robust, with a strict tactical arrangement there. After joining the Bulls, DeRozan invested more and performed better on the offensive end, averaging 28.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 55 games before the All-Star, a career-high scoring record, and a previous high of 27.3 points. You know, DeRozan is 32 years old, did not expect to glow a second spring, and has the miracle of completing the three-point kill back-to-back.
The Lakers missed him on a 3-year contract, which is actually a normal consideration, after all, DeRozan is 32 years old, and 35 years later. For DeRozan, it is also about maximizing profits, and this will be his last big contract. Looking at it now, the Lakers have some pity and missed the big general DeRozan. But for the Bulls and DeRozan, it was a perfect combination, both sides got the situation they wanted, and he and Lavin became the most scoring duo.
