Soar freely

Timberwolves defensive efficiency 108.4;

Celtics 110.6;

Magic 110.8;

Thunder 111;

Heat 111.5.

The reason why the Magic rose rapidly from 13th in the East last season to 5th in the East this season is obviously due to defense.

Hornets 35.5% three-point rate;

Jazz 35.4%;

rockets 35.2%;

Magic 35.2%.

In fact, the Magic are 24th in the league in terms of three-point percentage alone. Therefore, to a certain extent, the magic of this season is weak and strong.

Based on this, it is not surprising that the news has revealed that the Magic are interested in Russell.

Russell's three-point percentage is 41.5 percent;

Markkanen 39.9%;

Duncan Robinson 39.5%;

Malik Beasley 41.3%;

Hield 38.6%.

It can be said that on the outside, Russell's efficiency is not inferior to that of any player who focuses on three-point shooting. To add an extra mile, Russell has a 36.9 percent three-point percentage so far in his career. In other words, Russell was able to fill in the gaps that the magic existed. At the same time, Russell's defensive deficiencies are underutilized, and the Magic have the resources to fill them.

Is Russell leaving the Lakers this summer?

To be honest, there are still possibilities. Especially a team like the Magic that fits and needs it. From another point of view, the salary of the Lakers is less than 19 million, and the salary of other teams is basically more than 20 million. Who will have trouble with money.

Booker had 6.9 assists per 46.3 passes and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.65;

Paul had 6.7 assists per 46.9 passes and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 5.17;

Reaves had 5.5 assists per 44.4 passes and an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1.56.

Although Kosato has shown good improvement in passing, the timing and accuracy of his passing needs to be improved. In other words, Reeves is better suited as an endpoint than an initiator.

Reaves is more suitable for the No. 2 position, and Vincent's long-lost state is unknown, so Russell's departure still has an impact on the Lakers. More importantly, because it is a hat on the team, this leads to the fact that even if Russell leaves, the Lakers will not be able to offer a contract of about 20 million this summer.

Wembanyama averaged 21.4 points per game;

Brandon Miller averaged 17.3 points per game;

Holmgren averaged 16.5 points per game;

GG 杰克逊场均 14.6 min;

Scout Henderson averages 14.0 points per game.

In addition to scoring, Henderson's 5.4 assists per game ranks first among all rookies. With points + assists, Henderson has shown good potential for growth.

It was because of Henderson's presence and good performance that Brogdon's chances were reduced accordingly. Among them, the average of 28.7 minutes and 12.7 shots per game is the lowest since the 19-20 season. By the way, Brogdon is still capable.

Last season, with an average of 14.9 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, Brogdon beat Quickley, Portis, Norman Powell and others to become the sixth man in the league.

In '09, Derrick Rose won the Rookie of the Year without any suspense, and the Bulls management sent Ben Gordon away without hesitation, so as to develop Rose with all their might.

As with the Bulls, the Trail Blazers had such problems. This is from an on-field perspective.

From an off-court perspective, as shown in the chart above, Brogdon still has a one-year, 22.5 million contract left this summer.

Under the expired contract, it is still difficult for the Trailblazers to deal with.

If you give a new contract (big contract), there is not much demand for Brogdon under Henderson; If you don't give a contract, you won't get anything when you leave. In this regard, the Lakers can trade Brogdon in the form of Hachimura + Schifino + several second-rounders. I think the Lakers are very likely to trade (take) the former this summer.

Hachimura is a striker and Henderson does not clash in position. In addition, there are two years of relatively good value for money. In addition, chips such as the second round also help the Trail Blazers accumulate chips for rebuilding.

From Brogdon's point of view, the Lakers are certainly more attractive than the Trail Blazers. It is very important that as long as you play well with ultra-high exposure, you will not have to worry about the follow-up contract. Such as Munch, Schroeder.

In other words, the Lakers are still very likely to win Brogdon, the best sixth man, despite being attractive to opposing teams and players.

Of course, with the addition of Brogdon and the departure of Russell, the Lakers are not afraid. In the end, someone can fill the gap left by the latter's departure.
