Team Record: Because the Lakers made a mistake in introducing Westbrook, they didn't dare to form the Big Three!

According to the report on May 16, Anthony reported that the Lakers had a strategy of forming three giants, aiming at stars like Trey Young and Mitchell who had been all-star players. However, if they wanted to change to a third giant, they needed to give up some chips, which would take years for the Lakers to save.

The Lakers didn't mind forming the Big Three before. In the history of the Lakers, there were many Big Three or F4 combinations, such as Chamberlain, Baylor and West in the last century, and Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, Malone and Payton at the beginning of the century. The latest Big Three of the Lakers were James, Davis and Westbrook, but they failed.

The Lakers' plan to recruit Westbrook proved to be a failure, and Westbrook also made the same mistake in the Clippers as he did in the Lakers. Westbrook earned a base salary in the Clippers, played as a substitute, and was abandoned from time to time at the critical moment. However, in the Lakers, Westbrook started for a long time, winning 47 million dollars, which had a greater impact.

This record of the Lakers shows that because of the strategic failure to recruit Westbrook, the Lakers do not dare to form the Big Three now. An old acquaintance of the Lakers said that Westbrook's trade completely shook the core of the Lakers, so if the Lakers' management wants to form a big deal like the Big Three, it must make sure that this player can participate in the championship, but not Trey Young. Westbrook's trade really directly led to a precipitous decline of the Lakers. In addition, the Lakers actually dismantled the championship team after winning the championship. These two operations directly turned the Lakers from a strong team to a playoff team, or by overdrafting James and consuming Davis.
