The Lakers really made a bloody investment this time, and directly made a super big deal of "1 for 4", and brought the Rockets' leading guard Van Jordan. Our Hachimura, Russell, and two teammates said goodbye to the Rockets, which was truly spectacular.
It all started with the ambitions of Pelinka, the general manager of the Lakers. Pelinka, the old man, saw that the two superstars on the team, James and Thick Eyebrows, were no longer young and urgently needed strong support, so he set his sights on the Rockets' Van Jordan. Why are you eyeing him? Because Van Jordan is quite capable of playing on the court, scoring, assisting, stealing, proficient in everything, and can go up at critical moments, a real big player.
The situation on the Rockets' side is also quite complicated. Several of their new youngsters have performed well, allowing Van Jordan to keep the ball eroded. The Rockets are in their eyes and anxious in their hearts, and they are just using this opportunity to rebuild and let the young people exercise more. So, the Lakers threw an olive branch, and the Rockets didn't say a word, and they hit it off.
Imagine that the moment this deal is announced, social media goes straight to the frying. Lakers fans seem to see the championship trophy beckoning to them, while Rockets fans have mixed feelings, after all, Van Jordan is the one who brings them so much joy.
But then again, it's a good deal for both sides. The Lakers have an excellent option in the offensive game, and the addition of Van Jordan can greatly reduce the burden on James and Bushy Eyebrows, and they can focus more on playing in key moments. And the Rockets, although they lost one All-Star, the four players they exchanged for were not vegetarians, especially Russell and Hachimura, who are fully capable of shining in the new environment and bringing new vitality to the team.
However, such a big deal will inevitably be used to make a big fuss. Some people say that the Lakers earned it because they got a player who was super powerful; Others feel that the Rockets are the winners because they have laid a solid foundation for the future. This is the last laugh when the game really starts.
At the end of the day, this deal is a reminder that there are no permanent friends or foes in the NBA, only permanent interests. Today's teammates may change their uniforms tomorrow and have another life-and-death duel. The players are too, they may still be here cheering today, and tomorrow they will have to leave with their suitcases.
In short, this trade undoubtedly adds some more excitement to the NBA in the new season. It will be interesting to see if Van Jordan can continue to shine with the Lakers, and whether Russell and Hachimura can start a new chapter with the Rockets. After all, this is not just a basketball game, but a war without gunpowder. Let's look forward to how these heroes will write their own legends on the basketball court in the new season!
