The Lakers have another failed deal exposed! Tucker + Nunn + first round Grant was rejected this summer or continue to chase

On February 25, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. As of today, this season's NBA regular season has come to an end. The Lakers' current record is 31 wins and 42 losses, ranking only 9th in the West, and whether they can make the playoffs is still a question.

Because of the poor results, the Lakers have been criticized a lot. In fact, the Lakers tried multiple trades in the middle of the season, but they all failed. Earlier today, Scotto wrote about a failed deal for the Lakers, writing: The Lakers were interested in the Pistons' Grant, but the latter matched the Lakers very well, and the chips that the Lakers could provide could not impress the Pistons at all. For a while, the Lakers tried to pack Tucker, Nunn and a first-round pick together, but still failed.

So far this season, Grant has averaged 32.4 minutes per game and is able to finish with 19.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1 steal and 1.1 blocks, and is very versatile. Lakers Tucker averaged 25.5 minutes per game, averaging 9.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists from the field, shooting 40.9 percent from the field and 26.8 percent from three-point range. Since joining the Lakers last year, Nunn has never appeared this season due to injury.

It is worth mentioning that Scotto also wrote in the article that it is not known whether the Lakers can add a draft pick in the future to promote this transaction, but the Blazers are currently the frontrunners in chasing Grant. In other words, the Lakers are still interested in Grant. It's conceivable that with poor results this season, the Lakers' roster this summer is likely to change dramatically.
