The Los Angeles Lakers are quite surprisingly missing out on the top ten in the West, not even entering the playoffs, and LeBron James has naturally become a figure on the cusp. In an interview with the media, LeBron James also made a surprising statement, revealing that he very much wanted to cooperate with Stephen Curry and become a teammate with the latter before retiring. Although Stephen Curry laughed at this, after such remarks, the major social media exploded, after all, the current NBA league seems that anything can happen.
Since the beginning of the 14-15 season, LeBron James and Stephen Curry have met in the Finals for four consecutive years, but the two were rivals at that time. In the eyes of the US media, although it is extremely difficult to achieve everything, whether It is LeBron James running to the Golden State Warriors or Stephen Curry switching to the Los Angeles Lakers, that team will become quite difficult to beat, and everything will be like a dream.
So the US media listed two sets of plans, the first is that the Warriors sent Stephen Curry to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis and Tarren Horton Tucker. For the Lakers, this is a perfect operation, first of all, Stephen Curry and LeBron James will be very compatible, don't look at the lakers' paper lineup is quite luxurious, but the adaptability is a mess, the offensive end space is completely unblocked, and Stephen Curry is one of the best outside attackers in the history of the league. And he can digest the ball, so LeBron James doesn't have to work so hard.
And if Anthony Davis can stay fit, he'll be in the league's top five. The Lakers regained the championship in the 19-20 season, when Anthony Davis did not win the FMVP award, but his overall performance was no worse than that of LeBron James. The biggest shortcoming in the Warriors lineup is the weakness of the interior line, James Wiseman has been absent due to injury this season, Kevin Rooney is a good interior blue-collar, as the fifth position substitute can also be, long-term top starter is almost interesting. If Anthony Davis comes to the Warriors and pairs him with Draymond Green, the Warriors' interior will undoubtedly become a no-fly zone.
Taren Horton Tucker as a head, a change of environment is also a good thing for him. After the Lakers missed the playoffs early, Tarren Horton Tucker completely let go of his hands and feet, and the performance was also very good, plus Tarren Horton Tucker is very young, or worth cultivating. However, given the importance of Stephen Curry to the Warriors and the attitude of management all along, the possibility of wanting the Warriors to send him away should be very low.
Therefore, LeBron James wants to cooperate with Stephen Curry, more likely in the Lakers, and the US media naturally gave the second set of plans, that is, the Warriors packed James Wiseman, Andrew Wiggins and some additional heads to the Lakers, and got LeBron James, which is obviously much more feasible than the first group of plans. How terrible LeBron James really is, the Warriors naturally know best, even if LeBron James enters the twilight of his career, he can play a heroic performance almost every time he plays against the Warriors, just last season LeBron James also let the Lakers beat the Warriors in the playoffs. According to this set of plans, the Warriors can achieve an effective promotion in the third position, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green are still in the team, the Warriors can better impact the championship goal, and in this case, the team can not fully cultivate Wiseman. Although the Warriors trio is also entering the twilight of their careers, the "Splash Brothers" all have superb projection ability, and their chemistry should be much stronger than that of the Lakers this season.
For the Purple and Gold, they had the possibility of losing LeBron James, and it was already a good return to exchange for two players in the ascendant period. Obviously, if LeBron James leaves, the Lakers can officially begin the reconstruction period, and they can give James Wiseman a lot of opportunities to perform. Obviously able to become the top spot, James Wiseman has a lot of potential and talent, even if his ball quotient and skill can not make much progress, wiseman's outstanding physical talent and athletic ability alone, he can become a high-quality interior blue-collar worker, and reduce the pressure on Anthony Davis.
Despite some highs and lows this season, Andrew Wiggins' overall performance is still worthy of recognition, as evidenced by his first career all-Star selection. It is true that Andrew Wiggins has not cashed in on all his talents, but he has the top projection and defensive ability in the same position, and his independent offensive ability is constantly improving, while Andrew Wiggins is still in his current year and can play an important role in many seasons ahead.
