On February 25, 2022, Beijing time, after the end of the All-Star Weekend, the NBA began its final sprint stage. Recently, the question about the Lakers has been hotly debated by fans, whether it is whether they can enter the playoffs this season, or how to strengthen in the offseason, fans are very concerned.
Recently, NBA reporter Ryan Stone wrote about how the Bulls will strengthen this summer, saying that an anonymous NBA executive said that the team may trade Lakers star Anthony Davis! Chicago is where I can meet Davis and say , 'Well, if you're going to trade me, then let me go home,' the executive said, he's always wanted to play for the Bulls, he wanted to do something for his hometown. And executives also said that the trading chips may be DeRozan + Patrick Williams or DeRozan + Kobe White + draft picks!
But is it really necessary for the Bulls to make this deal? DeRozan is the best star in the league this season, his personal offensive and key ball ability is the best in the league, and his cooperation with LaVine has become more and more tacit this season. Coupled with the fact that this season is only DeRozan's first season with the Bulls, and has played such a great individual performance, leading the team to become the strongest team in the East, what reason does the Bulls have to break up this team?
And Davis has become a veritable glass man in the last two seasons, has missed a lot of games this season because of injuries, the last time he was weak has basically made him reimbursed this season, such an injury system has made it difficult for him to become the absolute core of the championship team, so the Bulls risking breaking up the team to trade Davis is really meaningless!
For the Lakers, they also don't want to trade Davis, the Bulls have a good performance this season, and they don't want to trade DeRozan, so the probability of this deal happening is almost zero, and the Lakers may still use James + Anthony Davis as the core to play next season!
