In the third quarter, the Lakers began to chase points under the leadership of James and Thick Eyebrows, and in the end, the Celtics relied on Tatum's leveling ball to drag the game into overtime and finally win
It is worth mentioning that reporter Jay King revealed on social media that when the Lakers played a climax in the game, Celtics coach Joe Mazura shouted to the players during a timeout:
"Hey idiots, all the Lakers can do is score in the box and on the fast break, and you actually let them do the only thing they do?"
Even if you win, you still have to blame ~ heart?!

"Now that the NBA has been naming awards, let Kobe be the new NBA logo, and say thank you in advance!"
Crawford's idea is more difficult to implement, not to mention whether Kobe's qualifications are sufficient, whether the NBA is willing to pay this royalty is also a big problem

The Lakers showed aggression in the Bojan trade
On December 14, 2022, Shams, a famous paparazzi in the NBA, spoke about the trading dynamics of Bojan in an interview:
The Lakers, the most aggressive team in the Bojan-Bogdanovic trade recently, have discussed giving away at least one protected first-round pick and a player with a matching salary like Patrick Beverley in exchange for Bogdanovich. So far, though, the Pistons seem reluctant to trade him."
If the NBA wants to select the champion of trade rumors, I have to smash the pot and sell iron to vote for the Lakers, as long as there are competitive players in the trade market, whether they are guards or forwards, the Lakers are all intentional, and in the end, the bamboo basket is empty
The Lakers want Reddish
On December 14, 2022, NBA reporter Michael Scotto revealed:

"Over the past year, the Lakers have checked Reddish's tradeability several times. However, the mere addition of Reddish is unlikely to cost the Lakers a Fournier contract."
I've seen this episode, the Lakers were intentional, and finally Reddish fell into the arms of the Clippers
