In case of emergency, rush to the doctor? Russell Goes to the Clippers George Joins Hands with Zhan Meimei to Explode the Lakers' 5-to-2 Trading Scheme

preface

Although the current playoffs are still in hot progress, many fans have begun to look forward to the off-season in advance because all the flow teams in the league have basically been eliminated. For example, the Los Angeles Lakers were eliminated by Denver in the first round, but they are still the focus of the NBA. Although the core age of the Lakers is very old, it is clear that the team still wants to fight for the championship, so after being eliminated, they quickly cut off head coach Ham, and tried to take the lead in starting reinforcement from the coaching team.

Now the Lakers have candidates for head coach, such as Kassel, assistant coach of the Green Army, Borrego, assistant coach of the Pelican, and Reddick, who has never coached in a professional league before. In addition, Nori, assistant coach of the Timberwolves, and Adelman, assistant coach of Nuggets, will also be interviewed by the Lakers in the near future. These five people are basically the potential successors of the Lakers' head coach in the new season, but it is not ruled out that others will be selected later. After all, it is a dream for many coaches to coach the Lakers.

The coach will be able to solve this problem for the Lakers sooner or later, but the effect is uncertain. With more and more teams being eliminated, it is time for the Lakers to focus on off-season recruitment. Since James is qualified to become a free player this year, the Lakers must prove to him with action that the only goal of the team is still to reach the championship. According to various reports in recent days, the Lakers are very eager to select trading candidates before the draft night, and use Reeves, Eight Villages Russell and other players plus a number of first round exchanges for an all star player with enough strength to help the team.

After learning that the Lakers intend to form a three player team, the news and rumors from various sources directly dominated various forums and social media. According to these news, the Lakers have many interested players, such as Trejan and Murray of the Hawks, Mitchell of the Cavaliers, Raven of the Bulls, and so on. Basically, they are all back guards, because the biggest weakness of the Lakers is the position of point guard. James and Shumei need a star guard who can digest the ball power to help them share the pressure.

Among these guards, Mitchell and Trejan are undoubtedly the two people with the highest level, especially Mitchell. His performance in the playoffs this year has once again proved that he can fight hard. But unless he applies for a trade personally, the Lakers' chips will not get him. Today, Mitchell has some potential injuries, but his strength There are no problems with the contract.

In the case of Tereyang, he is half angel and half devil. If he wants to be in good condition, he is indeed the top ball holding core in the league. But the problem is that due to the general physical quality, Tereyang's ability to attack hard in high-end games is far less than Mitchell's. In addition, the Hawks' price for him is not low, so the Lakers may choose him less.

However, it has been reported recently that the Lakers are exploring the possibility of trading with the Clippers. They want to get Paul George, the second leader of the Clippers. Paul George, 33, played well in the regular season this season. He averaged 22.6 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.5 steals, 47.1% shooting percentage, and 3.3 three-point shots with 41.1% shooting percentage. Paul George, who is well balanced in attack and defense, is still an all star player although he is a little old.

In fact, the relationship between the Lakers and George has not lasted for two days. As early as 2017, when he wanted to leave the Pacers, he hinted that he wanted to play in his hometown more than once, so the Lakers were his potential home. However, since George was wearing No. 24 jersey and was an iron fan of Kobe Bryant, Lakers fans were looking forward to George's arrival all day, but it was not realized in the end. However, in 2018, when the Thunder was eliminated in the first round, George had a relationship with the Lakers again, but he finally chose to renew his contract with the Thunder.

The most important thing is that George not only "teased" the Lakers and fans one after another, but also joined the Los Angeles Clippers, the local rival of the Lakers, at the invitation of Leonard in 2019, which directly led to the confrontation between the Clippers and the Lakers again. In the 2019-2020 season, everyone has been discussing who is the real hot winner of their two teams, and later facts have proved that the Lakers are the last winner, On the other hand, George did not want to come to the Lakers and choose to go to the Clippers. The final result was that he was defeated when he was 3-1 ahead in the second round.

From the past history, we can see that the Lakers and George have not been able to deal with each other in recent years. Therefore, when the fans saw that the Lakers wanted George again, there was a heated discussion. According to media reports, the Lakers may pack Reeves, Russell, Eight Villages and Vanderbilt, plus a first round exchange for George and Tucker. After seeing the details of the potential transaction, the fans quit completely and scolded the management of the Lakers for being crazy. Some fans teased the media that broke the news must be Clippers fans.

Looking at the Lakers' chips first, Russell will not say anything. Considering his playoff performance in the past two years, he will probably leave next season. However, eight villages and Vanderbilt are both players with obvious characteristics. One is good at attack and the other is good at defense, and their contracts are not big.

Finally, there is Reeves. As the most trusted third person in the Lakers' playoffs, his current trading value is at the peak. The Lakers are basically willing to send him away only when they trade Mitchell. Obviously, George is far from Mitchell at present, so the Lakers can't send him to the Clippers, let alone the first round, The Lakers have lost everything just by looking at the players.

To know whether George is at his peak, just look at his health and you can see that he is not worth these chips. Since he joined the Clippers, only the 2020-2021 season and this season are relatively healthy. Other seasons are not regular season or playoffs. You should know that the third largest player traded by the Lakers is going to decompress James and Shumei. If George were to be on duty, it would be hard to know who would decompress to whom.

In addition, in this transaction, the Clippers can also send away Tucker, who has completely become a junk contract. If this happens, the Lakers will be a living bodhisattva. Not only that, James+bushy eyebrows+George, and then a group of role players, this lineup will not win the championship. George can't make up for the worst weakness of the Lakers, and the Lakers have sent away all the players who can play for him, so the strength of the Lakers in the new season may not rise but fall.
