On April 10, Beijing time, tomorrow the 30 teams of the NBA will usher in the final battle, and the 7th-10th place in the East will also be officially announced. However, some teams have missed the playoffs + playoffs, and the Western Conference giants Lakers are one of them. At present, the Lakers have no desire, the last game is mainly trained, and the Lakers have officially updated the team's injury list.
At present, the lakers' injury list is basically the core players, the Lakers' four major stars are absent from the final game, James, thick eyebrows, Westbrook and Anthony will not play in the Lakers and Nuggets showdown. Coupled with Nunn, who has a season reimbursement, the Lakers have a total of 5 players on the injury list this time, which also provides opportunities for other role players to perform themselves.
Although everyone knows that the Lakers want to buy rest time for the core players, the Lakers' handling plan this time is very appropriate, and there is no reason for rotation, but to mark the injury situation for each absent player. The injuries of James (sprained left ankle), thick eyebrows (right midfoot sprain) and Nunn (right knee bone contusion) are already known, Anderson is marked with right shoulder pain, Anthony is marked as sick, and also warmly suggests that this is not a new crown disease.
In last year's offseason, the Lakers recruited Westbrook, the NBA's all-time triple-double king, to form a big three with James and thick eyebrows. I thought that the Lakers could get one step closer to the championship, but I didn't expect that the Lakers didn't even get the play-off qualification in the end, which is really undeserved. Now that the Lakers' big three are absent from the final battle, their task this season is over, but the big three have not played their due results, and whether Wei Shaonongmei can continue to stay in the team is indeed a question worth exploring.
When the Lakers decided not to qualify for the playoffs, many NBA celebrities analyzed the future direction of Wei Shao and Thick Eyebrows, and Mingji Stein revealed that the Lakers may use extended terms to cut Wei Shao. Coincidentally, thick eyebrows have also fallen into trading rumors. However, Thick Brow does not seem to be worried about his future, he said that the transaction should be considered by management and agents, he himself only needs to focus on the court, it can be seen that Thick Brow is still very optimistic about his prospects.
James's situation is more optimistic, although James has reached the age of 37, but the Lakers still regard him as the core of the team. Due to injury, James played only 56 games for the Lakers, falling short of the minimum standard for judging a top scorer (58 games). However, from the performance of this season, James's competitive state is worth affirming, averaging 30.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks per game, and his offensive ability is still at the top level of the league.
Now that the Lakers have no chance of the playoffs, the Lakers' next task is to optimize the team lineup, and I believe that there will definitely be big moves in this year's offseason, and strive to be among the champions again in the new season. James is definitely a non-sale product of the Lakers, whether Wei Shaonongmei can continue to stay in the team, the offseason will be known!
