The Lakers playing "no ball" is also not working, the Lakers who did not play the game, were directly kicked out of the play-off area, I heard that if the Lakers enter the playoffs, no one is afraid, the Western team simply wants to be the Lakers, without Marca and Sykes Jazz lost to the second king in the West, Randle cut 57 points, the Knicks also lost to the Timberwolves, the Rockets lost to the Warriors, the Lakers ranked 11th in the West, the remaining 10 games, most of the Lakers' opponents are Western, two Suns, two Jazz, but also Timberwolves and Lone Ranger, It is getting slimmer and slimmer that the Lakers want to make the playoffs.
In fact, after the Lakers sent Wei Shao away before the trade deadline for a large number of high-quality combat power, they once showed their championship-level strength. From the frequent half-court collapse at the beginning of the season to being able to wrestle with the league's top teams, the Lakers were once expected to enter the top six in the West after a big trade, but since the loss to the Rockets, the Lakers have been completely chaotic, and thick eyebrows have also come to the cusp of public opinion, being blamed by the outside world, and he seems to be gradually losing himself. If the Lakers want to make the playoffs, thick eyebrows must play dominance. However, the 22-23 season is clearly not the championship window for the Lakers, and they may have to make plans for next season.
Recently, the US media BR advised the Lakers management, and they suggested that the Lakers trade Hield to the Indiana Pacers with Beasley, Reid and two second-round picks. Since the Lakers sent away a first-round pick in a big trade in the middle of the season, there is currently only one first-round pick and several second-round picks that can be traded chips. If Lakers management can finalize Hield in two second rounds, there will undoubtedly be a chance to rise again.
Although, the future belonging of James and Davis will become an important factor in the development of the Lakers. But one thing is for sure, the Lakers must make a difference in strengthening the outside. Beasley's performance is not stable, Hield's arrival is an important addition to the Lakers to strengthen the team's outside line, Hield can average 17.3 points, 5 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game this season, shooting 45% overall and 42% outside the three-point line, and is a more reliable outside shooter. The Lakers now have no shortage of backcourt players, but most of these players do not have excellent shooting ability, and the team's more offense is still low to finish. If Hield can join the Lakers, the team will have a core of the backcourt with excellent shooting ability and experience, which will make a huge difference for the entire team.
After joining the Pacers, Hield mainly played a 3D role on the team, and he spent more time watching the opponent's outside scorers and playing well with the rest of the team. Therefore, we can see that Hield spends most of his time dealing cards at the top of the arc, and the level of offensive involvement is not too high. However, this does not mean that Hield is incompetent, as the Pacers' number three has played impressive games against All-Stars this season. Hield is one of the few positive assets on the Pacers, and his individual abilities are unquestionable.
While the deal requires the Pacers to send Hield, they were also able to get a lot of benefits in the trade. First of all, compared to last season, this season's teams have no shortage of core players in the backcourt, but the big inside man with a low position advantage is more popular in the league trade market. Therefore, the value of Hield's current transaction is gradually decreasing, at least Turner's value must be above Hield. Secondly, Hield has been in good form this season, but there is no guarantee how long his level of competition will last, and if Hield's form declines in the future, the Pacers who miss out on this trade opportunity will pay for it themselves.
In addition, the younger Beasley will definitely be a better player than Hield in the future, and he is worth more than Hield, who has already attracted the attention of many teams after his feat of scoring eight three-pointers in the half. The Pacers are currently in the rebuilding phase, and accumulating draft picks and quality is a must to be done, so the arrival of Beasley and Reid can largely meet the needs of the Pacers.
