"I don't think offseason management has to re-evaluate our squad. I've talked to him about this season and next and we'll find out. Get back to the championship bloodline, we know we have the ability. ”
Although the Lakers missed the playoffs early this season, Davis, a thick-browed brother, is still confident in a recent interview, saying that he and James still have the strength to become the core of the championship team and return to the peak heights of two years ago.
Ideal to ideal, no one has ever questioned the hard power of James and thick eyebrows, but after winning the championship in 2020, the overall mentality of the Lakers has changed, the first is that the management has a mysterious confidence in their own operation, and in the past two years, they have continuously signed stars who are not suitable for the Zhan Mei system, resulting in the Lakers having a gorgeous shelf, but they can't play the desired effect.
On the other hand, the thick eyebrow brother continues to be plagued by injuries, his average data in the past two seasons is only 23.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 21.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.1 assists, after winning the championship, he and James really played together in the best state of the number of times, losing the ability to the bottom of the core pillar, the Lakers can only be regarded as a third-rate team in the West.
In fact, the Lakers want to return to the peak, the management has given the correct answer, that is, to find another star helper for the Zhan Mei combination to form the big three, so they exchanged wei shao who can still get the average triple-double data in the offseason last year.
Unfortunately, the styles of Westbrook and James seriously overlap, they both need a lot of ball possession, they do not have a stable ability to do three-point without the ball, and must rely on teammates to open up space, and the stars cooperate with 1+1
Recently, ESPN exposed the Bulls' LaVine hopes to join the Lakers by signing first and then changing, and James's thick eyebrows as teammates. It is worth mentioning that as early as 2019, when Brother Thick Brow had not yet joined the Lakers, LaVine expressed his desire to come to Los Angeles, playing in Los Angeles was his dream since childhood, and he and James and Thick Brow Brother were also players under the same agent.
LaVine averaged 24.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists this season, and with the help of DeRozan, led the Bulls into the playoffs, but because of the disparity in strength with the defending champion Bucks, they were eliminated after only winning one game in the first round, and their ceiling was clearly visible.
Unlike the Lakers, there is a top commander in history, James, and the ultimate weapon of the small ball era, Brother Thick Eyebrow, LaVine does not need to take on too much leadership responsibility, his scoring technology and chaotic warfare ability is exactly what the Lakers lack the most now, if he can start from the three bosses and help Zhan Mei share the scoring pressure, then it basically meets the requirements.
As a talented scoring guard with thirteen picks, LaVine is only 27 years old this year, he still has a lot of peak years, and when James retires, he can completely form a new internal and external double core with the thick eyebrow brother of the same age, complete the replacement of the new and old in the lineup, even if it is impossible to complete the goal of finding the championship bloodline, it is enough to put the Lakers on a healthy road of reconstruction.
For the Lakers management, what they need to consider is how to operate so that LaVine can smoothly become a member of the Lakers, and then continue to build a reasonable system around Zhan Mei, if the Bulls can accept the conditions of signing first and then changing, and get the conditions of Westbrook + Tucker + draft picks, then the Lakers should not be too big a problem to achieve a counterattack from the bottom.
