The future can be expected and the future can be "cheated" of the same city team, the Clippers and the Lakers are difficult brothers?
When it comes to "injury is part of the game", the Los Angeles duo can have a bitter stomach to fall, but the old brothers present a completely different state of the game.
This is not only reflected in the fault tolerance rate of the salary structure of the two teams, the strength of the management and coaching staff and the overall offensive and defensive appearance.
The Lakers have recently been defeated, and after the final quarter of the home court fell into a scoring drought against the Lone Ranger, only 4 wins have been tasted in the past 21 games, and the ambition of the early days of the game is ambitious, and the ultra-luxurious sunset Reds are intended to take revenge, and now they can only be feared in the play-off ranks.
The Lakers are currently in ninth place in the West with 27 wins and 34 losses, 4.5 wins behind the Clippers, burying the welfare bureau many times in the early stage, ranking in the top three in the league in the later stage, and the first in the West.
The Pelicans followed suit, and the only good news was that the King, who was actively reinforcing before the trade deadline, had not yet entered the fierce battle circle, and the Blazers and Spurs, who had no intention of swooping, could still cause a lot of obstacles to Sacramento. Once the Kings are on the brink of the playoffs, it may be a luxury to predict that the Lakers will be 10 to 8.
On the other hand, the Clippers in the same city, when the "vacated 80 million salary" has become a common thing, this side is still holding high the banner of "reversal".
The so-called Clippers are not behind and will not play, ghost Talent Lu guides the planning, the three armed forces with the command of someone to stand up and dare to pull the emperor off the horse.
"A handsome incompetent" and "people have to die more than people", these words are vividly interpreted in the two religious leaders who have the most right to speak in the "flipping session".
Rationally speaking, after the Clippers continue to harvest Powell + Covington to fill the wing of the forward line, the championship window is effectively extended, and play and practice, sit and wait for the captain to return, or simply look at the next season.
After all, the prospect of the Clippers returning to the full roster this season is not optimistic.
Even if Leonard recovers from a major injury before the playoffs and George Powell returns in blood, the team still needs to consider the cost of running into the lineup, on the other hand, to strive to break through from the playoffs, the internal friction along the way is too serious, and the risk of injury at the core of the family cannot be ignored.
This urgent need to "win in the present, only fight for the day" is not in conflict with reality, and I am afraid that at most it can only be willing to cut oneself, and can pull down one person.
Only from the current node, the prospects of the old brothers in Los Angeles cannot be estimated on the same grade.
Next season, Wei Shao holds a 47 million super premium contract, James is one year older, the latter's "leaving the team storm and falling to the root" is boiling over, and not to mention the problem of management's repeated operational decisions, the team can adjust and change the operation space is extremely small.
Internal and external troubles, in the short term, the Lakers are no longer a good place for superstars to settle in, and then talk about the championship may also be a fool's dream, overdraft of future assets in exchange for a championship in the park game is already enough, timely stop loss may be the best way out.
Ballmer's new stadium is still under construction, and it is still far from being put into use, and Los Angeles can still be the Lakers' team.
After all, "the giants are rich", the Lakers' glamorous resume is really unbearable, but in terms of "living in the moment", Clippers fans will always be more comfortable.
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
