The NBA Lakers are one of the most disappointing teams for fans in the 21-22 season, with LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, the 3 giants, but they can't even play the playoffs, before the start of the regular season they are one of the hottest teams to win the championship, after the regular season they are one of the fastest teams to end the journey, after the Lakers' failed season, many players in their team may be traded!
Russell Westbrook is naturally one of the tradable assets, but in addition to Westbrook, Taren Horton Tucker, who was once regarded as a rising star of the Lakers, he may also be put on the shelves to trade, on April 28, Beijing time, the US media "Lakeshowlife" for the Lakers to advise, they drew up a deal plan about Tucker, which is the Lakers and spurs 1-for-1 plan, that looks like using fake 3D to exchange for real 3D?
Tucker played 65 games with the Lakers last season, the Lakers let him play 4 regular season starts, he averaged 20.1 minutes per game, he averaged 9 points + 2.6 rebounds + 2.8 assists + 46% shooting rate + 28% shooting rate from three-point range, he was only 20 years old at the time, he had an active defense, he was still a rich Paul player, so the Lakers gave him a 3-year, 30.78 million US dollar contract, the Lakers hoped that he could grow into a 3D player, but the reality was not so "sexy"...
So far this season, Tucker has played in 60 games, he averaged 9.9 points + 3.2 rebounds + 2.6 assists + shooting rate of 41.6% + three-point shooting rate of 26.9% + defensive efficiency value of 110.1, playing time increased by about 25%, but the data is not as good as last season, Tucker is a negative growth, his immediate combat strength is not worth 9.5 million annual salary, LeBron James's good brother, Rich Paul can be said to be the Lakers in the 21-22 season.
In the plan proposed by the US media, the Lakers will take out Tucker, the Spurs will take out Josh Richardson, Richardson played 65 regular season games in the 21-22 season, the average data per game is 10.2 points + 2.9 rebounds + 1.8 assists + shooting rate of 43.8% + three-point shooting rate of 41.5% + defensive efficiency value of 107.8, relatively speaking, Richardson is really 3D, Tucker is fake 3D, with fake 3D for real 3D, how dare the US media think so? In fact, this may be the scenario that each takes as desired.
Spurs in recent years have been relatively sluggish, their young players have not really grown up, the Spurs need young players with potential, next season Richardson is 29 years old, Tucker is 22 years old, Richardson is the immediate combat strength, Tucker still has potential to tap, for the Spurs, Tucker is the player they need, although it is not 3D now, but this does not mean that the future is not, and the Lakers have three giants, young players do not have much significance for them, Richardson such a 3D front, That's what they need.
Therefore, the US media's plan looks incredible, but if you look closely, it is indeed some of the meanings that are needed, isn't it?
