Although the Nets made it to the playoffs in the 21-22 season, they were ruthlessly swept by the opponent Celtics and went home early 0-4 to fish. Judging from the results, the Nets and Lakers have the same ending, even though the two teams were named championship favorites at the beginning of the season. Why? In fact, there are traces to follow, the Nets and Lakers are some long-established veterans, the team lineup is seriously deformed, and the players' offense and defense have become unbalanced. This has led to the team's immediate combat power in the regular season becoming unstable, and it is unable to play a stable record, and the result has become the current situation.
From the result of the reverse, then the team's lineup must be problematic, so it needs to be adjusted in the offseason, from players to managers may need to change. The Lakers and nets have not formed a stable starting lineup in the regular season, and they still have not created mature offensive and defensive tactics, so we often see many stars' singles, which is a helpless choice after the tactics have no effect. Logically, even if there is no tactic, the Lakers and the Nets will not play so badly, one team misses the playoff, and the other team is ruthlessly swept.
For the Lakers, except for James and Davis, who will not leave the team, the rest of the players have the possibility of leaving. Isn't that? According to US media reports, veteran Anthony's future direction is likely to change, and he is likely to choose the Nets this summer. Anthony in the 2019 offseason glowed the second spring of his career after the Blazers, successfully transitioning from superstar to role player; and then for the championship, he joined the Lakers in 2021 and played brother basketball with James.
However, the Lakers have not been able to realize their championship dream, and it has become more difficult to win the championship since then, after all, the problem of the Lakers is that there are too many veterans, and Anthony and others may be forced to leave here. In the 21-22 season, Anthony averaged 13.3 points per game, shooting 52.1% from the field and shooting 38% from three-point range. It's still a very qualified substitute statistic, and it's very efficient, able to help the team at certain times, and he can play the role of bench bandit.
The Nets have the opportunity to be their next home, which is inseparable from some of the previous things, and all these circumstances will make this thing possible. An NBA general manager said: "If Anthony wants to go back to New York, the Nets will get another chance to have him." Because Anthony would rather go to the Nets than go back to the Knicks. Anthony, who had won Olympic gold with Durant and Irving as teammates, wanted to sign him in 2019, but nets management was more focused on defense at the time. Now that Anthony has proven he can play the role of a three-point shooter, the Nets need to add more shots because they're worried about Joe Harris leaving. ”
With Anthony's nature, he can't return to the Knicks again, after all, this is a star with an arrogant bone. Once the Nets can get Anthony, then he will form a new big three with Durant and Irving, and once again launch an attack in the direction of the championship. The reason why Anthony can play an efficient attack is mainly the trust of his teammates, which makes him feel that he does not live up to his mission. Anthony is a kind and rewarding temperament, which is a well-known thing, and it can also prevent the basketball star from being blacked out by the opponent again to some extent.
However, as a fan with a certain number of years of watching football, how does the little fairy think about this? What the Nets lack is a core organizational guard, as well as a group of young quality 3Ds, and veterans like Anthony are not very suitable for the Current Nets. Or maybe the team needs such veterans, but it doesn't need too much. If Anthony is signed, it means that players such as Mills and Ade may have to be abandoned in order to be able to get more young and passionate players.
