Can the Lakers replicate the Thunder's success?
1. Thunder copy of Paul's book of Revelation
In the world of the NBA, there is always a lot of uncertainty in the trading between teams. However, when the Thunder took over Chris Paul's contract from the Rockets in a shocking deal in the summer of 2019, they seemed to see hope for the future. Although Paul has been good enough for the Rockets, averaging 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, he has shown even better ability to lead the team with the Thunder. Under Paul's leadership, the Thunder's winning percentage has risen instead of falling, and the record ranking has climbed from 5th to 4th in the West, which undoubtedly proves that the Thunder's decision to buy Paul is successful.
The Thunder's success is no accident, and they have a keen grasp of Paul's value and the courage to make a trade in the midst of so much skepticism. This kind of courage and vision is the key to an NBA team's foothold in a highly competitive league. And now, the Lakers seem to be looking for their own "Paul", and their target is Brandon Ingram, the star of the New Orleans Pelicans.
2. Ingram's "Little Durant" road
Brandon Ingram, the young player who made his mark with the Pelicans, is known as "Durant Jr." His scoring ability, shooting skills, and on-court versatility all give a look at Durant's youth. Statistically, Ingram's performance in recent seasons has been at a consistent level, with a steady average of more than 20 points per game, and a good performance in rebounds and assists. However, while the numbers look good, Ingram's points per game average is on a downward trend, and there may be some deeper reasons behind this.
In Ingram's game, we can clearly see his lack of speed and explosiveness. This lack made him look weak in the face of quick counter-attacks and breakthroughs, and chances that could have been easily scored were missed because he couldn't keep up with the pace. However, despite these shortcomings, Ingram still has a lot of quality in terms of shooting skills and finishing ability in the half. His shooting percentage reached 35.1 percent in the regular season and 48.3 percent in the playoffs, making him a scoring weapon for the team when it mattered.
3. The opportunities and challenges of the Lakers to copy Ingram
Now, the Lakers are facing an opportunity to pick up Ingram. According to sources, the Pelicans do not plan to re-sign Ingram this summer, which is undoubtedly a godsend for the Lakers. In the absence of enough convincing, Ingram's market value is not high, which gives the Lakers a chance to introduce him to the team at a relatively low cost. However, such opportunities come with challenges. The Lakers will need to carefully assess Ingram's ability and potential, as well as whether he fits into the team's playbook and direction.
For the Lakers, the addition of Ingram will bring many benefits. First of all, his ability to finish in the half-court without dead ends will greatly enrich the team's offensive means and make the Lakers more diverse on the offensive end. Secondly, Ingram's youth and potential also means that he has a huge upside and could become one of the team's core players in the future. In addition, the Lakers' high exposure will also provide a stage for Ingram to re-prove himself to the league, which will also have a positive effect on his personal development.
However, the Lakers also need to be mindful of Ingram's lack of speed and explosiveness. These shortcomings could become his shortcomings in the game and affect his overall performance. Therefore, the Lakers need to provide enough support and assistance to bring in Ingram to help him overcome these shortcomings and reach his greater potential.
4. Conclusion: Can the Lakers replicate the success of the Thunder?
The Thunder's success story of Paul's success is a valuable lesson for the Lakers. In a competitive NBA league, a smart trade decision can often change the fortunes of a team. Now, the Lakers are facing an opportunity to pick up Ingram, does that mean they will also replicate the success of the Thunder?
We can't predict the future, but we can expect the Lakers to make smart decisions that will lay a solid foundation for the team's future. Regardless of the outcome, the Lakers will continue to move forward and bring more exciting games and unforgettable memories to fans.
The Lakers' Dip on Ingram: A Risk-and-Opportunity Trade
As a loyal Lakers fan, when I heard the news that the team might bring in Brandon Ingram, I was filled with anticipation and a little apprehensive. Ingram, a young player known as "Little Durant", has long made his mark in the league with his all-round skills and scoring ability. But at the same time, he also has some obvious shortcomings, which makes his future uncertain.
First of all, we have to mention Ingram's offensive ability. Statistically, he's been consistently averaging over 20 points per game over the past few seasons, which is enough to prove that he's a master scorer. And his shooting skills are even more impressive, whether it is a mid-range shot or a three-point shot, he can maintain a high shooting percentage. This kind of half-court finishing ability without dead ends is undoubtedly a huge addition for the Lakers. Imagine how powerful the Lakers' offensive firepower would be when they had the Big Three like James, Bushy Eyebrows, and Ingram!
However, Ingram's shortcomings are just as obvious. His lack of speed and explosiveness makes him look ineffective against quick counter-attacks and breakaways. At a critical moment, this shortcoming could become his fatal wound. In addition, Ingram's defensive ability has also been the focus of doubt. While he has been able to show good defensive performance in some games, there is still a lot of room for improvement in his defensive quality overall.
For the Lakers, bringing in Ingram is undoubtedly a deal that is both risky and opportunity. In terms of opportunity, the addition of Ingram will make the Lakers' offensive end more diverse and powerful. His scoring ability and shooting skills will bring more scoring opportunities to the team, while also sharing the scoring pressure on James and Bushy Eyebrows. In addition, Ingram's youth and potential also means that he has a huge upside and could become one of the team's key players in the future.
However, from the risk side, Ingram's shortcomings could also be a concern for the Lakers. His lack of speed and explosiveness could be a shortcoming for the team in the game, especially against a speed-oriented team, and the Lakers could fall into passivity. In addition, Ingram's defensive ability needs to be further improved, otherwise he will become a breakthrough for opponents.
However, as fans, we should see the wisdom and courage of the Lakers' management. The fact that they dare to make such a trade decision at a critical moment shows that they have full confidence and anticipation for the future of the team. At the same time, we should also see that the Lakers nurture and value young players. In the past few years, the Lakers have acquired many promising young players through drafts and trades, such as Kuzma, Hart, etc., and the addition of these players has injected new life into the team. And the addition of Ingram will undoubtedly make the young strength of the Lakers even stronger.
Of course, we should also be aware that there are two sides to any transaction. While bringing in Ingram, the Lakers also faced some challenges and difficulties. How can I get the most out of Ingram? How to make up for his shortcomings? How to better integrate the team's offense and defense? These are all questions that the Lakers need to think about and solve.
In closing, I would like to say that we should support the Lakers' decision regardless of the outcome. As fans, we should trust the team's management and coaching staff, who have the experience and professional eye to make the most informed decisions for the team. At the same time, we should also give Ingram enough support and encouragement to help him adapt to the new environment and tactical system as soon as possible, and make greater contributions to the team.
In short, the Lakers' dip into Ingram is a risky and opportunity-coping trade. Although there are some challenges and difficulties, as long as we unite and work together, I believe that the Lakers will be able to overcome all difficulties and realize our championship dream!
