After Adams deliberately missed the free throw and grabbed the rebound in the front court, he did not hesitate to transfer the basketball to the hands of Wei Shao, who was ambushed on the outside line, and after receiving the Aquaman pass, Wei Shao took the knife down and shot a fatal shot two steps away from the three-point line to complete the kill, at that moment, Wei Shao was oklahoma's hero, and that moment would be forever sealed in the historical scroll of the Thunder's history. Unconsciously, several spring and autumn have passed, and now Wei Shao has put on the jersey of the Purple and Gold Army, and Adams and his Grizzlies will also start a new journey to the championship throne.
Vogel is finally out of class, maybe unwilling, maybe believe in fate, in this season's journey, Vogel may have had some problems in terms of on-the-spot coaching, but it is a little inhuman to throw all the losses of the whole season on Vogel. AD repeatedly appeared in the glass system, missed most of the season, the 37-year-old James is not as dominant as that year, and often will be haunted by some major injuries, in addition to the two of them, and Kendrick Nunn, who has missed the whole season, looking at the Lakers, most of the players are on a basic salary contract. Therefore, Lakers fans only pin their hopes on Wei Shao's body, hoping that the former Russian City hero can create glory in the Lakers.
But the truth is completely to the other extreme, the whole season, in addition to the last month of Wei Shao's performance can be called remarkable, most of the time, Wei Shao has been very struggling. Westbrook proved unfit to play with James, especially after being cut off a portion of the ball, and the young Horton Tucker seemed to be more favored by the coaching staff than the triple-double. At the end of the next season, Wei Shao's annual salary will further increase to 47 million US dollars, if the Lakers insist on leaving Wei Shao, then maybe in the journey of the next season, we will see a scene of "yesterday's recurrence", even if James and Thick Brow remain full attendance, how far can this "360" combination go?
According to Shams, the Pacers are expected to become Westbrook's potential next home, in order to match Westbrook's contract, the Pacers may send out a combination of Brogdon + Hield, after Westbrook fulfills the contract for next season, the Pacers will provide the team's rising star Halliburton with a super top salary contract, and can also free up a lot of salary space, they have every chance to make a big fuss in the summer of 2023. However, it is not easy for the Pacers to easily accept Westbrook's contract, so the Lakers may send a 27-year first-round pick to make the deal seem more feasible.
In addition to the Pacers, well-known NBA reporter Marc Stein also gave Westbrook another potential next home , the Charlotte Hornets. A few days ago, BR reporter Jake Fisher reported that the Hornets will provide a five-year top salary contract worth $173 million for Bridges bridges in the offseason this summer, which means that Hayward, who is injured, is no longer the best wing candidate for the team. Hayward is currently focusing on recovering from a foot injury, while he is also interested in leaving the Hornets in the offseason, according to sources.
In order to tie the contract of Westbrook, in addition to Hayward, the Hornets may also put Oubre or Plumlee in the deal. However, according to NBA reporter Lowe, the Hornets also hope to get the Lakers' 27-year and 29-year first-round picks in this deal. For the Lakers, who have been starving of young players for a long time, it is undoubtedly extremely frightening to overdraft their future to 2030. For the Hornets or Pacers, they don't really need Westbrook to organize the offense, because in their squad, there are three goals, HarryBurton and other young ball carriers, these two players are the cornerstone of their future team. The introduction of Wei Shao is just to use Wei Shao's one-year short contract to replace some stinky and long contracts, so as to release the team's salary space next summer.
For the former triple-doubles, the turbulent career of these years since leaving Oklahoma has become a nightmare for him, and neither Houston fans nor Los Angeles fans will spoil themselves as much as the fans of Oklahoma before them. In an interview with the media, Westbrook is still tight-lipped about his future choices, saying: "I haven't made any decisions yet, but I will make a decision, which is why it's called the player option, but I haven't considered where to play next season yet." "To the left or to the right, maybe this is no longer something that Wei Shao can decide on his own."
