On February 26, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues, the Lakers will meet the challenge of the Clippers at home at 11:00 a.m., for the Los Angeles Lakers, the Lakers will also focus on the next season! Now that the thick eyebrow brother is injured, the Lakers are 27 wins and 31 losses in the second half of the season, ranking ninth in the West, the run-in problem between Westbrook and the team, the problem of team defense + projection, etc., what should the Lakers do? Recently, rumors about James returning to the Cavaliers are also boiling in the league, which also gives the Lakers more uneasiness!
According to US media reports, after James publicly published or returned to the Cavaliers' remarks and was reported to be dissatisfied with the Lakers, Paul Fu Paul met with Lakers boss Jenny Bass and Pelinka, and downplayed the possibility of James leaving the team!
After all, the Lakers have not finished this season, and there is still a chance to rush to the playoffs, at this time, if the team is full of negative emotions, it is equivalent to surrendering at the same time, and James is 37 years old, year after year, Zhan Huang's physical fitness has also declined, and Zhan Huang can't compete with time.
But what is very uncomfortable is that among the Lakers' top 7 players in salary next season, Westbrook is $47.1 million, James is $44.5 million, Brother Thick Brow is $38 million, and Aunt Horton Tuckerhai is $10.3 million. The Big Three will spend $130 million on the new season, but it turns out that the Big Three are not compatible, and Wei is less than James, and Wei is less than Zhan Mei!
Of course, before the Lakers also spread the rumors that the new season of the thick eyebrow brother sent the heat for Adebayo, etc., but a very practical point, if the thick eyebrow brother's injury is not clear in the end, whether the future can always maintain health, etc., for the Lakers, the future is indeed very difficult, Wei Shao is not good to trade, Zhan Huang may return to the Cavaliers, the thick eyebrow brother also has health problems, perhaps the 19-20 season the Lakers won the championship is the best peak of the Lakers in recent years.
