The Warriors' recent performances have been disappointing indeed. After Green was suspended indefinitely, the team was put on the back foot. They knew they had to adjust their tactics because the league would take tough action against Green's excesses. This will lead to tougher sanctions for Green's small actions, which will be a headache for the Warriors. Once Green is the center of attention for the league, it will certainly be detrimental to the team. Surprisingly, there have been recent rumors that the Lakers and Warriors are in trade talks, and Green is listed as a trade item.
Allegedly, the Warriors may trade Green for the Lakers' Hachimura and Prince. Such a trade is indeed a bit bitter for the Warriors, but it is a joy for the Lakers. Green's indefinite suspension has made matters worse for the Warriors, who desperately need instant power, not a player who is suspended indefinitely. The Lakers, on the other hand, were able to offer chips like Hachimura and Prince, two small forwards who could make up for the problems caused by Green's departure. Hachimura has excellent offensive prowess, while Prince is also a great player.
They join the Warriors not only to solve the current staffing shortage, but also to improve the team's roster. For the Warriors, even if Green returns, there are still many problems at this stage, especially the team's obvious lack of offensive ability. Compared with other teams, the Warriors can only rely on Curry at present, and the offensive ability of other players has dropped significantly. Therefore, what the Warriors urgently need is not defense, but offense. In the playoffs, the inability of other players to provide effective offensive help will cause Curry to be under more defensive pressure, which will make him suffer.
The addition of Hachimura and Prince can improve the Warriors' offensive intensity to a certain extent and reduce the pressure on Curry on the offensive end. This is crucial and one of the reasons why the Warriors could be interested in this trade. And for the Lakers, they can get Green, and compared to Hachimura and Prince, Green's addition means a lot to the team. Considering that the Lakers don't have much demand for Hachimura and Prince at the moment, they can patiently wait for Green's suspension to end. During this time, Green has also been able to actively integrate into the team and strive to perform even better when he returns.
If Green joins the Lakers, it will also be a good choice for Lao Zhan, because they are already very good friends. Zhan Lao is well aware of Green's key role in the game, and joining the Lakers will help reduce the pressure on Lao Zhan on the defensive end, allowing him to focus more on the frontcourt offense instead of being distracted on both ends of the court. In addition, Green can not only provide the team with solid defense, but also help boost the team's morale off the court, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Lakers.
Lao Zhan is a great leader who doesn't motivate morale through aggressive behavior, while Green is different, he is more like JR, as long as it is related to the Lakers' performance, he will defend it with his actions, such a player is what every team wants to have!
