With the Spurs defeating the Nuggets and the Lakers losing to the Suns, the Lakers eventually missed the playoffs and ended the season early, and at the beginning of the season, the Lakers' luxurious lineup eventually became a joke.
Then in the next offseason, the Lakers will definitely have to make a lot of deals, after all, such a lineup has been declared a failure, Wei Shao is the Lakers' primary choice, but there are also many media proposed that the Lakers can try to trade thick eyebrows, after all, compared to Wei Shao, thick eyebrows are younger and have certain trading value, but from the current point of view, the Lakers trade thick eyebrows, almost unrealistic problems.
First, james and thick eyebrows are paired with championship winning power
Excluding Wei Shao, James's partnership with Thick Brow is very successful, and the Lakers in the 19-20 season, whether defensively or offensively, are very threatening, and in the first season of cooperation, they won the championship, which is enough to prove that James and Thick Brow's partner has the strength to win the championship.
Moreover, after the end of the season, the Lakers and James can renew their contracts early in the offseason, and once James renews, the Lakers are basically unlikely to trade off the thick eyebrows, which is beyond doubt, unless the Lakers want to tear the team down and rebuild, and replace James and the thick eyebrows with draft picks.
Second, the Lakers want to focus on cultivating thick eyebrows
Thick Eyebrow is only 29 years old this year, which is the year of the current fight, and in 2020, Thick Brow and the Lakers reached a five-year, $190 million contract, which expires in the 2024-2025 season. James's contract expires next season, as for whether James will renew his contract, whether the Lakers will renew James in advance, it is a very big question.
Even if James and the Lakers renew their contracts for another two years, the Lakers still build a team around thick eyebrows, after all, James is 37 years old, such a state, James can maintain for a few years? In these two seasons, thick eyebrows have comeback with injuries in many cases, and it can also be seen that thick eyebrows want to stay in the Lakers for a long time.
Third, thick eyebrows are trading at a lower value today than they were during the buy-in period
As far as the current situation is concerned, thick eyebrows do have a certain trading value in the free market, but compared to the price paid when getting thick eyebrows from pelicans, it is much lower, you know, these two seasons, thick eyebrows are even crowned with glass physique, and the attendance rate in the regular season is not very high.
In 2019, the Lakers gained a thick eyebrow with Ingram, Ball, Josh Hart, and the No. 4 pick in 19 years (selecting Hunter), 2 first-round picks + 2 first-round pick swaps and cash deals. Today's thick eyebrows, want to trade such chips, is indeed unrealistic.
Therefore, the value of the Lakers' trade is not high, unless one point, the Lakers want to push the team to rebuild, then James will also become the team's chip.
