If the Lakers still want to win the championship now, they must strengthen the lineup, in the game against the Rockets, James once again played MVP-level strength, which also makes people see that as long as he is matched with good teammates, then everything is possible, although the Lakers have repeatedly stressed that they will not send away future draft picks, but according to the famous media person Woshen broke the news, the reason why the Lakers released such remarks is to enhance the value of their first-round picks, not to use the picks to trade, Today, the famous American basketball reporter Bill Simmons directly exposed the Lakers' 3-for-2 trade plan.
The specific trade plan for the Lakers to send Westbrook, plus the 2027 first-round pick and a second-round pick in exchange for Bojan and Noel, two powerful stars, I have to say that this deal is actually very cost-effective, Westbrook is now more in the Lakers to play a role as the best 6th man, but he is at key moments of the game, blind recklessness often breaks the Lakers' events, so the team needs a player who plays steadily and has a very high basketball IQ.
There is no doubt that Bo Yang can perfectly replace Westbrook, and he is even better at shooting, so far this season Bo Yang can average 21.3 points per game while also giving 3.2 assists, although the assists are not as many as Westbrook, but Boyang's steady basketball style has been unanimously praised, more importantly, this player can shoot as high as 41% from three-point shooting in the game, and another player Noel has not played very good statistics in recent seasons. But friends who know him well know that the player's contribution on the defensive end is not something that statistics can't tell.
His tough guy characteristics on the defensive end have always been well received, with these two players joining the Lakers, then they will have a great improvement from the offensive aspect, and the defensive strength brought by Noel is also where the Lakers urgently need to improve, after these two stars join, I believe that the Lakers will have a huge improvement at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, perhaps at this time James' 5th championship has been stable.
