2 wins and 10 losses, tying the worst start in team history. For the Lakers, the poor record is not the worst. Next, they have to face the last 5 games and 4 wins at their own home, with the Nets of Kevin Durant, and the Lakers themselves still cannot usher in the return of James. It seems that the Lakers continue to lose is a very realistic thing. However, the last time Kobe started with a 2-10 start in his twilight years, the Lakers had their own first-round pick. This time, when the Lakers ranked seventh in the league in salary, not only did they have a hopeless record, they even The first round is not in my hands. At present, the Pelicans' odds of getting Vinbanyama have risen to the first place. Entering the contract year, it is expected to join the Lakers and meet all Pelinka's needs. Both you and the Lakers need to complete the redemption.
Everyone knows that trading is the only way out for the Lakers. The Lakers not only need a deal, they also need a big deal. In any case, the Lakers can't get their first-round picks back through trading. What a waste of time, after James completed an early contract extension, according to the rules, he can't be traded this season, so, make a big deal around Westbrook, and then find a way to tinker with other aspects of the lineup is That's something the Lakers management has to think about right now. It is not that there are no suitable targets in the market. On the contrary, with the attraction of Vinbanyama and Henderson, in a few games, some teams will start to sell instant combat power.
From the point of view of immediate combat power, Irving is still the best choice for the Lakers. After Irving's accident, 30 teams in the league at one point began to exclude Irving, and his trade value dropped to zero. However, as time went by, Greens player Jaylen Brown and Pelicans guard CJ McCollum all stood up to speak for Irving and support his return. These two players were leaders of the players' union and it was understandable to speak out for Irving. However, James is almost the only player outside of Brown and McCollum to support Irving. On his personal INS, James suddenly pushed to support Irving after the Lakers lost to the Cavaliers. He said that Irving had apologized, and Irving should be able to return to the court.
Regardless of James' intention or not, according to NBA reporter Woj's report, within the Lakers, James's remarks are considered a signal that he is willing to accept Irving. Meanwhile, the latest odds show that the Lakers lead the rest of the team by a wide margin if Irving is traded. In other words, the Lakers are the team most likely to get Irving. Next, it depends on the attitude of the Nets. Previously, NBA President Adam Silver said that Irving was not an anti-Semitic. Silver said that the league would discuss a plan for Irving's return with the players union and the Nets, and the players union was obviously on Irving's side. The meaning of minimising big things, keeping things down, and letting Owen come back.
However, as the owner of the Nets, Cai Chongxin's latest statement surprised everyone. When talking about when Irving will return, Boss Cai said this: "He (Irving) still has a lot of work to do, he has to show his apology to people, maybe many people didn't notice that Irving was suspended. He came out and apologized later, he was forced to do it." Later, NBA reporter Shams said that Irving would not return in this wave of the Nets' road trip, that is to say, in 5 After the game suspension ended, he was suspended for at least 3 games (the Nets have 3 games left on the Western Conference road trip). Boss Cai's remarks aroused questions from Brown. The Green Army defender bluntly said that he was shocked by Boss Cai's decision.
When Owen's matter seemed to be gradually suppressed, Boss Cai's tough attitude made it seem that he hoped that Owen would be put at the center of public opinion again, and Boss Cai didn't want this to end like this. Considering that the Nets lost nearly $100 million in the past season, their season ticket sales are at the bottom of the league this season, and there are still many people who plan to refund their tickets because of Irving's farce, no matter whether Boss Cai is bowing to capital or protecting himself to the greatest extent. Interest, it seems like the Nets reporter Fred said, Irving may still be playing in the NBA, but he is likely to have playedIt was the last game of his Nets career.
From this point of view, after entering the $37 million contract year, Irving's behavior has indeed made the top management of the Nets completely lose confidence in him. This is an opportunity for the Lakers. In the last 5 games, although the Lakers suffered a 5-game losing streak, but the In these 5 games, he averaged 20.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 52.2%. He's shooting a career-high 36.2 percent from 3-point range so far this season. The most important thing is that now that the Lakers get Irving, they don't need to pay two first-round picks, or even one, and the reserved first-round picks can be used for other trade reinforcements. The Lakers are a team in need of redemption, and Irving is a player in need of redemption. The two seem to be naturally linked.
