What we have to admit is that with the passage of the game, the situation in the top eight in the East has gradually become clear, while in contrast, the undercurrent of the West has attracted the attention of many fans and the media.
Fortunately, in just one night, the two closely watched Lakers and Warriors teams in the West have successively sent out three major news!
It is reported that the two major reporters of the US media, Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst, recently analyzed and dissected the Lakers star LeBron James's previous remarks that "the door to return to the Cavaliers has not been closed".
It is worth mentioning that the two names remember the conclusion is surprisingly consistent, Shams Charania believes that James will not return to the Cavaliers, and he plans to finish the contract period as a Lakers.
Brian Windhorst believes that James's move is putting pressure on the Lakers management, hoping that the team will complete its operation this summer offseason and change the team's status quo!
Of course, the reality is that with the advancement of the schedule, the Lakers' regular season record of 27 wins and 31 losses and a team winning rate of less than 50%, as well as the 9th place in the West, are indeed unsatisfactory.
Coupled with the two main forces of melon + thick eyebrows, plagued by injuries, and the state of Wei Shao is fluctuating, the occurrence of these situations is indeed difficult not to arouse the guesses of Lakers fans!
In addition, as the strongest team in the West after the Suns, the Golden State Warriors' every move has also been favored by the outside world.
According to San Francisco Chronicle reporter Conor Letourneau, the Warriors are planning to try to extend a multi-year contract with guard Jordan Poole.
According to the analysis of salary expert Keith Smith, considering Jordan Poole's performance this season, Jordan Poole's early contract renewal offer is expected to reach $80 million for 4 years!
Playing for the Warriors this season, Jordan Poole's performance is obvious to all, throughout the regular season, Jordan Poole played 53 games for the Warriors, and the season attendance can be said to be quite impressive.
With an average of 29 minutes per game, Jordan Poole averaged 16.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, as well as the performance of 33.8% three-point shooting rate in the season, which became an indispensable part of the Warriors' rotation lineup!
More importantly, Jordan Pooler is only 22 years old, which can be said to be extremely valuable and development cap, although the Warriors' current salary system is not optimistic, but there is a saying, if you can keep Jordan Pooler, it is obviously a cost-effective early renewal!
At the same time, after missing nearly half a season due to a knee injury, another young player of the Warriors, James Wiseman, who is only 20 years old and 2 meters tall and 13 meters tall, has also recently reported the news of his upcoming comeback.
According to local media reports in San Francisco, as well as head coach Cole, Warriors player James Wiseman has been able to participate in 5v5 training with the team, and his personal status is continuing to improve.
After the All-Star Game, James Wiseman, who has regained his speed, is expected to complete his comeback in early March and return to the Warriors' lineup!
As the 2020 chart show, James Wiseman's performance last season was indeed not lacking in highlights, and throughout the regular season, James Wiseman averaged 11.5 points and 5.8 rebounds per game.
Coupled with its physical talent and conditions visible to the naked eye, it has to be said that after the return of James Wiseman, the Warriors' inner line guard and offense will also be improved and enhanced.
And the four cores of Curry + Thompson + Wiggins + Green, in the next ranking battle that is about to become white-hot, will undoubtedly usher in a big helper!
Finally, as a fan, after the return of James Wiseman, are you optimistic about this strong Warriors team, which will attack the championship this season? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments section!
