The Lakers will release Russell and Vincent from banning them to become tradable players, which has sparked speculation and heated discussions among fans, and it is known that the Lakers are considering peddling LaVine, and the Lakers have shown strong interest. While Russell's consistency has been questioned, the Lakers won't be disadvantageous based on his performances this season.
According to ** report, once the Lakers seek to get a third scoring point, Russell will definitely become a trade chip, his statistics are outstanding, shooting percentage, three-point shooting percentage are higher than Harden and Klay, and the average assists and steals per game are higher than Curry, the Lakers have picked up the treasure.
Russell has played in 25 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 30 per game1 minute, 16 points 32 rebounds 64 assists 08 steals 05 caps 19 mistakes 21 foul, shooting percentage of 478%, 38 three-point shooting8% and 76 free throw percentage8%。
These stats prove that Russell is a fantastic player, at least on the offensive end. However, his stats don't represent his full strength, and he still needs to improve his consistency and ability to work under pressure. While Russell's stats are good, some fans still have reservations about him, believing that Russell lacks consistency and can't play hard.
But these issues are not entirely Russell's personal problems, as injuries, coaching, rotations and other factors can affect a player's performance. Therefore, it is only in the right environment and conditions that Russell can perform at his best.
The trade deadline is Feb. 10, and the Lakers need to make the best decision before then, and it wouldn't necessarily be wise to peddle LaVine, who has a higher salary and Russell, who has a modest salary. What the Lakers need is a consistent scorer, not a highly-paid star player.
If the Lakers can get Russell to play in the right situations, he'll be the Lakers' leading scorer. In short, the Lakers need a scorer to complement James and Bushy Eyebrows, and Russell will be the obvious choice for them.
His stats are outstanding, and his salary is moderate, and if the Lakers can make the most of his strength, he will be the Lakers' future scoring leader. Is it worth the Lakers to spend a lot of money on the trade market to acquire LaVine?This issue has caused a heated discussion among fans.
On the court, however, a huge problem the Lakers face in the regular season and playoffs is defense. Russell's defensive performance was not great, which caused problems for the team. The Los Angeles Lakers need a player who can play as a defensive weakness and, ideally, contribute on the offensive end. In this regard, Ravan seems to be a good choice.
He's very strong on the offensive end and he's a player with a lot of potential. However, his defense isn't great either, which raises concerns about whether he can help the Lakers with their defensive problems. In addition, LaVine's contract is up to 4 years 1At $7.8 billion, the Lakers could be very expensive to trade him. So why didn't the Lakers consider trading Vincent?
The player's contract is three years and $33 million, which is much cheaper than LaVine's contract. However, Vincent has only played four games this season due to injury, and his current form is still unknown. As things stand, the Lakers' starting lineup is very solid, with excellent height and reach.
Vincent's return may have some impact on the team, but he certainly won't steal the starting spot. In addition, the Lakers are currently in a good position, they are sixth in the West and already have a 15-10 record. Therefore, whether the Lakers need to risk their money on the trade market to acquire LaVine needs to be carefully considered.
