Recently, the Lakers and the Hornets are about to complete a high-profile 3-for-1 deal. The Lakers will send Russell and Christie and a valuable first-round pick to the Hornets in exchange for the powerful player Terry- Rozier. The completion of this deal not only injects new strength into the Lakers, but also makes fans full of expectations for the team's future performance.
Terry Rozier, a player affectionately called the "low-end version of Irving" by Lakers fans, has emerged in the league with his excellent breakthrough and three-point shooting abilities. This season, he averaged 23.9 points per game and shot 48.3% from the field. This performance is enough to prove his strength. The addition of Rozier will undoubtedly bring new vitality to the Lakers' defense line, and his combination with James and Davis also has high hopes.
Compared with Irving, Rozier has similarities in some aspects. His breakthrough rhythm is varied and he can easily tear apart the opponent's defense, and his accurate three-pointers are his trump card. In addition, Rozier's corner shooting ability is also quite good, which will add more changes to the Lakers' tactical system. At the same time, his performance without the ball and with the ball is quite stable, which makes him very suitable to play next to players like James. For the Lakers, this deal is of great significance. First of all, the addition of Rozier strengthened the team's defense line and found a capable helper for James and Davis. In the past few seasons, the Lakers' defense line has always had shortcomings, and the arrival of Rozier just made up for this shortcoming. Secondly, Rozier's high attendance rate is also something the Lakers value very much. In the past few seasons, the Lakers have been plagued by injury problems, and the inconsistent attendance of players has had a great impact on the team's strength. Rozier has won the team's trust with his endurance and stable attendance rate.
From a long-term perspective, this transaction also has a positive impact on the future development of the Lakers. Rozier is in his prime, and his arrival has injected new vitality and combat effectiveness into the Lakers. His combination with James and Davis will form a powerful Big Three and once again launch a powerful impact on the championship. Overall, this 3-for-1 deal is a very good deal for the Lakers. Not only did they get a player with outstanding quality, but they also solved the defensive problem that has been plaguing the team. With the addition of Rozier, the Lakers' strength has been further improved, and we have reason to believe that they will show greater competitiveness in future games.
