The Lakers will form a big three, and Paul will join to help, and will no longer be afraid of the Nuggets!
Russell returned to the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Thunder, averaging 231 point and 486% of the threes. At the same time, he also shot 47 from beyond the three-point line7 percent, and shooting from beyond the three-point line also reached 41。Russell's team is a perfect fit with an average of 467 balls, an average of 68 assists.
Frankly, Russell is more like Harden these days — an all-around goalkeeper who can make one attack and one pass at the same time.
How crucial is Harden for the Clippers?
When there was Harden, the Clippers had 105 points, behind Leonard. In Harden's absence, the Clippers were at -6The total score of 1 ranks first in the league. 16.The point difference of 6 speaks volumes about Harden's role – a team wins games, and a team loses without a team. That's why the Clippers will improve so much this season, and the addition of Harden is the best proof of this.
Obviously, the better Russell plays with the Lakers, the more likely he is to be replaced. First, because his current career has reached a ** period. And at this point, there is no power.
As for Russell, he gave up the opportunity to play last season in order to sign a 1+1 contract with the Lakers. I signed 1+1 with the goal of winning the championship. Now, Russell is doing well and there is a high chance that his contract will expire at the end of the season. In this case, the Lakers didn't leave room for Russell.
Instead of making the money worthless, it's better to cash it out now.
And the Lakers have so far only had a 37-point shot success rate so far7%。Compare that to the Wizards' three-point shooting rate of 37%.
Four percent, Raptors thirty-seven percent. Six. From this point of view, the Purple and Gold Army's defense is like a pack of weak chickens. While Vanderbilt, Reddish and Vincent were all unplayed, no one could deny the absence of Russell and Reeves in the box.
At 18:49 against Mitchell, Morey made only one of his 3-point shots; Facing Lillard at 16:02, Morey made just nine of his 3-pointers. In fact, so far, Morey has allowed his opponent to shoot 34 from three-point range3%, which is a good example. As for Murray, the author believes that it would be a very good option to get a player like Russell.
Reason: Paul. The first thing to note is that the Rockets have praised Murray in public for a long time, and he has not been traded for a long time, which also shows that the team does not think well of him. In the Lakers' view, if the two sides are about the same level, then Morey is likely to turn into a superstar because his agent is none other than Ricky Paul.
In Paul's opinion, it must be a good thing to move his team to a bigger location. Because the higher their salary, the higher their salary, not to mention, they are still very close to Paul.
On this issue, it's worth noting that Russell has played a big role in recent games, whether it's with the Lakers, Hawks or any other team.
There is no doubt that after Morey's adjustments, the Lakers are no longer afraid of the Nuggets. The Lakers lost three star players in the playoffs last season, and now they have to make up for it.
