According to the "Chicago Sun Times" report, LaVine and his team hope to be traded to the Lakers.
Let’s not talk about how credible this rumor is. For the Los Angeles Lakers at this stage, LaVine is definitely not the best choice for reinforcement.
Reason: Contract.
LaVine still has a four-year contract worth more than 170 million. The average salary exceeds 40 million, which means the Lakers have to pay at least 2-3 players. But for the latter, Russell and Schiffino are almost the only ones who would not hesitate to trade at this stage - the amount is not balanced.
In addition, the Lakers' overall three-point rate so far this season is 35.2%. For comparison, the Hornets are 37.5% and the Wizards are 35.1%. In other words, it is not as good as some weak teams.
From an overall three-point perspective, the Lakers should give priority to strengthening shooters.
In 573 games so far in his career, LaVine has a three-point rate of 38.2% and averages 2.2 goals per game. There is no denying that he is a reliable shooter, but for a two-time All-Star to only be a spot-up shooter, he is inevitably overqualified.
At the same time, with Vanderbilt returning from injury, almost all members of the Lakers have shown very good chemical reactions and immediate combat effectiveness.
Explanation point one: Rui Hachimura. Since the game against the Rockets, the three-point rate is 42.9% and the average is 1.2 goals per game.
Explanation point two: James. During the same period, the three-point rate was 43.5% and the average was 2.6 goals per game. Who would have thought that James, who was approaching retirement age, would effectively develop three-pointers. Taking this as an example, can Antetokounmpo also develop a three-pointer? Of course, this is something.
Explanation point three: Prince. During the same period, as shown in the figure below, the three-point rate was 42.1% and the average was 2.1 goals per game.
Regarding Prince’s three-pointers, it should be noted that 35.1% of his shots come from dribbling. Combined with this 42.1% three-point rate, it can be said that he has the ability to hold three-pointers like Curry. .
In fact, in my opinion, Prince seems to exist in the low-end version of the library.
Reason one: similarities. As mentioned just now, Prince has the three-point shooting ability like Curry.
Reason 2: Difference. In addition to his top three-point shooting ability, Curry also has the ability to attack tough situations with the ball, which Prince does not have. The low-profile version of
reflects that Prince does not have the ability to hold the ball and attack tough problems like Curry.
Of course, I think Prince is much more reliable than LaVine.
Reason one: contract. As mentioned just now, LaVine still has a four-year contract worth more than 170 million yuan, while Prince's one-year contract worth 4.5 million yuan expires. Potentially, the latter is easy to operate in the follow-up.
Reason two: positioning. Throughout his career, Prince has been positioned as a role player. Therefore, there is no complaint about continuing to play as a role player. On the other hand, LaVine would definitely not be willing to position him as a role player. After all, he has been selected to the All-Star twice at this stage.
Finally, congratulations to the Lakers for welcoming the low-end version of Curry, Prince is much more reliable than LaVine.
