Lakers lock in 19 7 All-Stars, replace Russell, partner with thick eyebrows Good luck Reaves!
In games against the Thunder, Russell averaged 47 passes per game7 and 66 assists discarded. He is at No. 22 in the league, more than Jalen Brunson and Brogdon.
On individual offense, he shot 48 from 3-point shot and 3-point percentage6% and 41 pc. His average rating is 237,6.Six assists, just like Harden and Haliburton back then, played a big role in his own offense or in the team.
The better Russell plays, the more likely he is to want to leave the Lakers.
Reason: Contract. Last season, Russell signed with the Lakers on a 1+1 basis. Because of his contract, Russell has played very well this season. Now, because of how well he's playing, it's clear that he's going to get a brilliant win, and that's just the beginning. Second, the Lakers can't offer Russell a big ** this summer due to no trade freedom.
If Russell is really leaving, then the Lakers will have to find a backup.
Reeves' average rating is 448, an average of 5With 2 assists, it looks like he has a very high pass-to-assist ratio. But 2The 15 assists to one error ratio shows that Reaves is nowhere near star level for a team's leadership. For this comparison, the average pass completion rate of Willis this season is 220。
It's clear that Reeves can't replace Russell and Paul. However, it is even more interesting to look at Reeves as a non-aggressive terminator. It's worth noting that Reeves has taken 35 shots between two and four feet so far5%, and reached 563%, up to 586%。If that's the case, he'll have the same powerful shooting power as Irving and Curry. Add to that a contract with an annual salary of less than $1,400, and this is already a great deal.
Garland, meanwhile, averaged only 19+7 per game, compared to 22+8 last season. Garland and Mitchell have some incompatibilities in both technical statistics and competitions. So, I believe the Lakers will sign one of them this summer.
The reason is simple: it is almost impossible to take him down. The Cavaliers spent a lot of money to buy Mitchell from the Jazz, and that's just one of the reasons, and it doesn't do the Cavaliers any good. Secondly, Mitchell has a clear lower hole card than Garlando.
And the Lakers may consider trading Garland for Reaves and then trading a first-round pick. From a Cavaliers' point of view, Reaves could be an offensive forward, so looking at how well he matches Mitchell, plus a first-round pick, would be a good fit.
In short, as long as the demands of both parties are met, this possible cooperation is promising.
On the other hand, Garland is an All-Star caliber star who has good ball handling skills in pick-and-rolls, so he can play well against thick eyebrows. Of course, I still have to bless Reeves, because no one knows if he will have that kind of attention. In a certain sense, seeing ** is also a deal.
