Lakers offseason outlook: Magic leads the Westbrook scramble, and whether the thick eyebrow trade is related to Munch's stay

Originally thought that the Lakers could take the opportunity of the All-Star weekend break to start again, and then ensure that they would seize a favorable position before the start of the playoffs, but it did not happen, lakers fans waited for a tragic collapse. According to statistics, in the past 6 games, the Lakers have achieved a bad record of 1 win and 5 losses, and that hard-won victory is still based on James's 56 points + 10 rebounds in exchange, there is a saying, now there is no need for NBA experts to predict, because in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the Lakers are inevitable to lose this season, rather than excessive consumption of James's body, the Lakers should take a long-term view and strive to reverse the decline this summer. Lakers offseason outlook: Magic leads the Westbrook scramble, and whether the thick eyebrow trade is related to Munch's stay.

If you've been paying attention to the NBA free agent market this season, you should have some idea of Westbrook's trading prospects at this stage, and among the many potential solutions that have been exposed, only the Rockets and the Lakers have really opened negotiations (the prospects are bleak). Due to the lack of negotiation on the draft picks, even if it is the first round of swap rights in 2027, the Lakers have no intention of agreeing, resulting in the plan of exchanging owners between Wei Shao and Wall failing to finally land. Sources come from journalist Ben Stinar, and there are indications that compared to the thunder, rockets, and wizards, the Magic are most likely to be the next stop in Westbrook's career. It is understood that although Westbrook's salary of nearly $50 million is difficult to deal with, as long as the Lakers are willing to use the first round of picks as compensation, then the team in the rebuilding period is willing to take over Westbrook, so the question is, why does magic have the opportunity to stand out in the Westbrook battle?

There are two main reasons, first, Wei Shao's wife hopes that her husband can join the Magic in the future, and prove herself by leading the team back to the playoffs. In addition, Wei Shao's wife believes that the management of the Magic is not complicated, and it is not mixed with "rich" personal emotions like the Lakers, that is, the infighting reported by the media. Second, the Magic have a certain bargaining chip in their hands that can facilitate the Deal with Westbrook. It is reported that the restricted player Bamba, next season's annual salary of $14.15 million Carter, $11.5 million Rose, $17.4 million Isaac can be traded by magic, although these players only have a rotation level, but considering that there are too many uncertainties on Wall, the Lakers do not want to repeat the same mistakes, defenders who do not have the ability to project are incompatible with James, and the tragic case of Westbrook makes the Lakers management know this.

Finally, talking about thick eyebrows and Munch, some time ago, foreign media reported that the Heat will develop a set of trading plans around Adebayor this summer, trying to get thick eyebrows (Davis) from the Lakers. In the reporter Eric Pincus learned that two consecutive seasons of frequent injuries, the Lakers owner and core executive Pelinka has lost patience with the thick eyebrows, if the chips provided by the other party are appropriate, then the Lakers are willing to open deal negotiations about the thick eyebrows. It should be mentioned that Eric Pincus was told that the Lakers' 24-year-old guard Munch was tied to thick eyebrows, and this was not intentional by the Lakers, because Munch had informed his agent that he would continue to fight with thick eyebrows next season.

It is reported that the reason why Munch did this, mainly related to the thick eyebrows and bold personality, since the day he joined the Lakers, thick eyebrows have taken special care of Munch, and even made a cameo appearance as a matchmaker, introducing rapper Acelia (Nick Yang's ex-girlfriend) to Munch, coupled with the usual meticulous care, Munch wants to play with thick eyebrows, it is indeed excusable. For the Lakers management, once they choose to trade thick eyebrows, no matter what kind of chips are eventually exchanged, the possibility of Munch staying in the team (the contract expires this summer) is very small, so the success of the thick eyebrow transaction will determine Munch's stay to a certain extent.
