Goodbye Russell! The Lakers actually chose to shake his hand and say goodbye this offseason. Don't worry, this is not negative news, on the contrary, it means that the Lakers will usher in a new chapter, and the addition of Paul will help the Lakers form an impressive Big Three again, and the Nuggets are a bit unpredictable.
Paul, the pointer on the court, will lead the Lakers to new hopes. The original article mentioned that Russell's three-point shooting percentage was as high as 486%, averaging 23 points per game1. It's really eye-catching, but the Lakers obviously want to play more tricks on the court. Russell has the ability to play both individually and in tandem, but with the addition of Paul, the Lakers will have a more well-rounded and coordinated offensive lineup.
Imagine three stars of James, Davis and Paul at the same time, and it's hard not to be excited. Once again, the Lakers will show a strong overall strength, not just relying on individual players to play alone, but by working more closely together as a team to create more amazing moments.
Looking back at the importance of Harden to the Clippers mentioned in the original article, it really makes people feel that the core of the team is indispensable. The Lakers' decision this time also alludes to this, and the goodbye Russell is to find a player who better suits the overall needs of the team. After all, with the Big Three combined, the Lakers will be more well-rounded and no longer worry about opponents like the Nuggets.
The Lakers have a relatively high three-point shooting percentage on the defensive end, but it's also because some key players are out for a long time. Now, with Paul's arrival, the Lakers are not only more dangerous on the offensive end, but also better balanced on the defensive end. This is a solid step for a team competing for the championship.
So, next, Paul's driving force for the Lakers should not be underestimated? On the field, he is not only a great playmaker, but also a planner of the game. Imagine his chemistry with James and Davis, the most anticipated on-court drama in years. Paul's arrival will bring more changes and surprises to the Lakers, let's wait and see.
Regarding the Russell trade, the original article mentions that the Lakers may trade him for Murray, and this rumor can't help but be exciting. The Lakers' flexible operation in the trade market undoubtedly brings more expectations to fans. If they can successfully acquire Murray, it will be an important step for the Lakers to usher in a new era.
Now, let's joke that perhaps Lakers management is discussing some "big plans" with Muray's agent, Rich Paul. After all, Paul, as a player agent, has a deep understanding of how to get the best development opportunities for his players.
Finally, let's give a thumbs up to the future of the Lakers and send our most sincere wishes to Russell for goodbye. I hope that the Lakers will be able to create more brilliance through the addition of Paul in the new season and dedicate more exciting games to the fans. If you have any thoughts or expectations for the future of the Lakers, you may wish to share them in the comment area, and let's look forward to the wonderful performance of the Lakers together!
