The Lakers have had a bad record this season, and the US media BR predicts that the Lakers will not be able to make the playoffs, which also means that a big three team will end the season with a losing ending. This is unacceptable for the Lakers, as well as for James, the second star in history. James hopes the team can strengthen before the All-Star deadline, but the Lakers are ultimately indifferent, which also makes James very dissatisfied. To this end, the media pointed out that the Lakers must strengthen this summer, otherwise James is likely to leave the Lakers. Judging from the current situation of the Lakers, there are not many players with trading value. Davis is often injured, but when he stays fit, he's the superstar of the season. Some celebrities suggested that the Lakers could send Davis away in exchange for Adebayor, Duncan Robinson and a first-round pick from the Heat.
For the Lakers, the deal is accelerating, and media sources revealed that Heat president Pat Riley was very interested in getting a superstar in the deal, and the media analyzed the deal from the perspective of two teams:
For the Heat, the team has had a great record this season, ranking first in the East. However, Philadelphia and the Nets made a big deal in the middle of the season, with Harden teaming up with Embiid and Simmons joining the Nets. The deal has improved the strength of both teams. In addition, the defending champion Bucks still have a good record this season, and they are also the big favorites to win the championship. As a result, the Heat will face many challenges in the playoffs, and if the Heat continue to lose in this year's playoffs, then Riley has every reason to make a big deal and bring in a superstar. Davis was not comfortable staying with the Lakers, and the Lakers head coach kept him playing center, which was the main reason for his injury. The Heat could provide Davis with a better tactical position to avoid injury risks.
For the Lakers, in the case that Westbrook can't send him away, trading glass superstar Davis may be the best option. With the deal, the Lakers got eastern Conference All-Star interior lineman Adebayo. Adebayor can shoot and eat bread under the basket, and he's tougher than Davis. Duncan Robinson is a top scorer who has slipped off after winning a big contract, and the Heat won't lose much by sending him away. Duncan Robinson is crucial for the Lakers, and the Lakers need reliable shooters like him.
