On February 9, Beijing time, when the Lakers, Jazz and Timberwolves completed a blockbuster three-way deal, the "historical triple-double king" Wei Shao was sent to the Jazz, ending his journey with the Lakers for one and a half seasons. Wei Shao's Lakers career is undoubtedly extremely unsuccessful, after all, he failed to play in the playoffs with the Lakers, or he continued to fall into the object of "trade rumors" and was finally swept away, and the result was extremely embarrassing. Wei Shao's Lakers career ended in "failure", and he is expected to be bought out after being traded to the Jazz, it is reported that the Clippers are interested in Wei Shao, and Wei Shao's future direction is temporarily uncertain.
The details of the transaction are as follows:
The Lakers get: Russell, Beasley and Vanderbilt.
The Jazz get: Wilson, Anderson, Damian Jones and a protected (1-4 pick) first-round pick from the Lakers in 2027.
The Timberwolves get: Conley, Walker, 2025 and 2026 Jazz second-round picks, and 2024 Wizards and Grizzlies with lower rounds.
When Wei Shao witnessed James' coronation as the all-time scoring champion, he had a heated argument with coach Hamm during the game, and his recent ups and downs basically concluded that Wei Shao's Lakers career was over. Now that the three-way deal has been reached, Wei Shao's one-and-a-half-season Lakers career has been declared settled, which is also an extremely embarrassing career, and he is expected to be bought.
From the championship triumvirate to the sixth man on the bench
The Lakers are the fourth stop of Wei Shao's career, he also played for the Thunder, Rockets and Wizards, and Wei Shao was traded to the Lakers in the summer of 2021, forming a Big Three combination with James and thick eyebrows. However, Wei Shao is not compatible with Zhan Mei dual-core, he averaged 18+7+7 per game last season, plus the injury impact of Zhan Mei's dual-core, the Lakers did not even make the play-offs.
This season, Wei Shao has been transformed into a substitute sixth man role, has lost his starting position, and his numbers have slipped to close to 16+6+7 per game, averaging 15.9 points per game only higher than in his rookie season. Wei Shao is already making changes, but the Lakers are still in the bottom three in the West, and the problems between Wei Shao and James, with head coach Ham, and with the team, made him eventually forced to leave.
Data and wind reviews continued to decline, and they were eventually traded
In his season with the Wizards, Wei Shao also averaged a triple-double of 22+11+11 per game, which was also his fourth career triple-double per game. It's just that Wei Shao's two seasons with the Lakers, due to the need to be compatible with James, but he is not good at shooting and too many turnovers, coupled with the need for a lot of ball, resulting in his data plummeting.
Wei Shao even plummeted in the wind review, and his long-term dislike led him to repeatedly fall into trade rumors, and was finally sent away by the Lakers' three-way deal. Wei Shao's Lakers career ended in "failure", which is undoubtedly extremely embarrassing.
Or was bought out by the Jazz to find a new home, and the Clippers were exposed to be interested
For the Jazz during the rebuilding period, they don't need Wei Shao, and according to previous reports, the Jazz are expected to buy out Wei Shao. For Wei Shao, the latest news now shows that the Clippers intend to be less powerful, after all, the Clippers want to send away Wall, and Wei Shao still has good offensive passing strength, and the combination of partner Ka Pepper to form the Big Three is also a good championship draft.
Of course, Wei Shao's future is uncertain, and where his final home will be awaits further news, but at least Wei Shao's experience is still quite tragic. Wei Shao has fallen out of the superstar ranks, and he still faces choices and transformation difficulties in the future.
The Lakers naturally got Russell to improve their backcourt offensive and defensive strength, as well as Beasley and Vanderbilt, so that the Lakers have re-improved their strength and are expected to rush for a playoff spot again.
