The NBA regular season has been going on for more than a month. Some teams have very good records, such as the Celtics, Bucks, Timberwolves and Nuggets. Some teams have poor records, such as the Spurs (12 consecutive losses) and Pistons (14th straight loss). This season, teams such as the Eastern Magic, Western Timberwolves and Thunder have very good records. They all rank in the top four in the league. These young teams have become the strongest dark horses. However, there are also some teams with three All-Stars that play poorly and have a poor record. They want to tear down and rebuild. Five consecutive losses! The first disintegrated team in the NBA was born, and the Lakers were right to gamble and trade them.
The Magic and Pistons have always been underdog teams with the worst records in the league. Unexpectedly, the Magic have suddenly emerged this season. The Magic's top pick Banchero also won the title of Player of the Week. . The Pistons have No. 1 pick Cunningham, No. 2 pick Bagley and Wiseman, and the Pistons also hired Monty to coach him at a high salary. However, the Pistons' record has not improved at all, with 2 wins and 15 losses, ranking last in the Eastern Conference. , last in the league. In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons have the worst record, the Wizards are second to last (3 wins and 14 losses), and the Bulls are third to last (5 wins and 14 losses). The Wizards' losing streak ended with a win over the Pistons. The Bulls have suffered five consecutive defeats recently. They lost every game by more than ten or twenty points.
The Bulls have formed a Big Three lineup of DeRozan + LaVine + Vucevic starting in 2021. However, they have only made the playoffs once in total over the years, and they were in the first round, 4- 1 was sent away by the Bucks. DeRozan, LaVine and Vucevic have all been selected to the All-Star lineup, and their statistics and strength are pretty good. This season, DeRozan averaged 21.3 points + 3.2 rebounds + 4.6 assists + 1.0 steals + 0.8 blocks per game. LaVine averaged 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals per game. Vucevic averaged 15.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks per game.
The Bulls have publicly stated before that they want to dismantle the team and rebuild it, because LaVine, DeRozan, Vucevic, Caruso and others have been put on the trading shelf and are all tradable. The first NBA team to disband this season was born. Many people say that the Big Three of the Bulls do not have top stars, and DeRozan and LaVine do not have the strength to be the boss of the team. They are only the second or third boss at most, and Vucevic plays too much. Soft, no dominance inside, and should have been disbanded long ago.
NBA famous reporters reported that the Bucks are interested in trading for Caruso, the Heat are interested in DeRozan and LaVine, and the Clippers are interested in trading for Vucevic. Lakers reporters officially reported that the Lakers management is more interested in DeRozan and Caruso than LaVine. Caruso is an excellent 3D player, and many strong teams in the league are interested in getting him. The Lakers have always wanted to trade for a third giant. At the same time, they have also always wanted to exchange for defensive 3D Caruso. Many fans believe that LaVine and Russell have exactly the same attributes, and the Lakers should not trade for LaVine. Moreover, LaVine is worth $215 million in five years, and his annual salary is as high as $43 million. This is a serious premium. Russell 2 With an annual salary of US$36 million and an annual salary of US$18 million, it is more cost-effective.
DeRozan is the most valuable player in the Bulls' transaction because of his good statistics and strength. He is worth 85 million US dollars in three years. This is a high-quality, low-priced and cost-effective helper. Therefore, the Lakers' gamble to acquire DeRozan and Caruso should be the right choice, because they are a good fit for James and Big Eyebrow. However, if the Lakers want to trade for DeRozan and Caruso, they must give up some assets. First-round picks and draft picks are necessary, as well as young players such as Reeves, Hachimura and Reddish. Who can the Lakers give up as a bargaining chip?
