On March 6, Beijing time, the Lakers this day at home to usher in the focus of the battle with the Warriors, before the game Lakers legend Magic Johnson in a number of famous discussions, he said that if the Lakers can not pass the playoffs to advance to the playoffs, then Westbrook is the worst deal in the history of the Lakers.
When the Lakers won the championship in 2020 after 10 years, the Purple and Gold Army returned to the top of the world, but last year, because of Zhan Mei's injury, especially the injury of The Thick Brow Brother in the playoffs, the Lakers even advanced from the playoffs, but still lost to the Suns.
Last offseason, the Lakers completed a big deal to get Westbrook, sent away Kuzma, Harrell and Pop, and also released players such as Caruso, signed a large number of veterans, and the team was in extremely bad shape this season due to injury and run-in problems.
The Lakers have lost 11 of their last 14 games, and they are only half a win away from the Pelicans behind them. Facing the Warriors requires an all-out effort to win, but the Lakers lost all of their first two meetings of the season.
On the Lakers' question, Magic Johnson said, "At least we're still in the playoff zone right now, if we can advance from the playoffs." Yes, we'll have to face top teams like the Suns or the Warriors, but I'd rather we make the playoffs. If we can't qualify for the playoffs, then The Westbrook deal is really the worst deal in Lakers history. ”
Magic Johnson blamed Westbrook primarily on Westbrook, and whether Westbrook will be able to prove himself for the rest of the season is undoubtedly unknown.
