The Lakers have officially signed! The fierce general made overtures to the Purple and Gold Army, and Pelinka was a little helpless
After ending a lacklustre transfer window, the Lakers were beaten by the Nuggets on the road. The Lakers didn't lose much, and the scores of both teams were close, but it was clear that the Lakers had the absolute upper hand on free throws, while the Nuggets seemed to be relaxed, and they could only rely on their own strength to prolong their lives. What's more, there are two great gold diggers in their hometowns, which is very dangerous. In fact, the two stars of the Lakers, when they played, relied on their own ability to pass the ball to Rivers' hands, which made the gap between them far exceed the gap between them. With the Lakers' signings confirmed and the Warriors actively flattering them, Pelinka's appeal is blocked, will the Big Three be able to save the Purple and Gold?
Obviously, winning the Nuggets in this way made a lot of people frustrated and frustrated, and the team's management didn't take any action before the trade deadline. But from the Lakers' manager's point of view, if there's any hope, they're going to keep trying. According to a recent report by the Los Angeles Times, the Lakers also signed Spencer Dinwiddie before the transfer deadline, while he was traded to the Raptors by Milwaukee, Michigan, and later bought by the Raptors.
Dinwiddie, who has previously been in contact with the Dallas Mavericks, will now also make contact with the Lakers. While Dinwiddie hasn't made his final choice, there's plenty of evidence that the Lakers will be Dinwiddie's first choice. First, popular ESPN's NBA news anchor Woj revealed that the Lakers have taken the lead in signing Dinwiddie. Second, some Lakers fans expressed their opinions on their Weibo, asking Dinwiddie to return to his hometown (Dinwiddie's hometown of Los Angeles), and Dinwiddie himself expressed his appreciation for this, which can be said to be a show of goodwill to the Lakers. This season, Dinwiddie was still able to get 126 points 33 rebounds 60 assists, but his scoring needs to be improved, but overall, Dinwiddie has reached the standard of a backup guard.
In addition, in terms of transfers, the Lakers have not done much, Murray, Finney-Smith, Caruso and other people who are interested in the Lakers have not been replaced, and the Lakers have not shown aggression, however, the Lakers managers have insisted on levying it"Lakers Tax"。For example, if it's a team and it's trading with another team, that's a fair price and there's room for bargaining, whereas with the Lakers, it's hard if you want more. The Lakers' recent contract proposals for a number of players have been a shock, including Bruce Brown, Tyus Jones and Drummond, all of whom are of interest to the Lakers.
Take Royce O'Neal, for example, the Suns only traded for Diop, Goodwin, and three second-round rookies in the end, and then the Bucks fired Goodwin again. The Bucks, on the other hand, used Vincent as a bargaining chip, plus a few second-round players, were vetoed by the Bucks, and the Lakers' trade with the Suns had no substantive effect, but the strength of the two teams was comparable, and even the Bucks had not made any achievements, so they negotiated with the Lakers, and then were vetoed by the other party. In fact, in this situation, the Lakers managers are very difficult, and Pelinka is helpless about it.
However, such a small deal did not really help the Lakers, although they were made miserable by Wei Shao before, but now it seems that the Big Three may be the only way for the Lakers to return to the Finals. James is old, that's a fact that everyone knows, but in the past two seasons, the rate of James' physical decline is obvious. Despite the 35 minutes of the game, but in the 12 minutes of the second half, James's body and spirit were greatly affected, especially during the game, he had no way to control his body at all, and he had no way to focus on his movements, so in the process of the game, his body became very fragile, especially during the game, especially during the game.
Obviously, in the game against Denver, in terms of star players, the thick eyebrows are doing well, aggressive both offensively and defensively, plus Jokic, although the offensive ability is a little worse, but at least can keep the team balanced. When Lao Zhan is exhausted, it will be the time of defeat. Just imagine, Rivers chose Mitchell and Trae Young as substitutes, then the outcome of this game would not be like this, perhaps, the Lakers will have a better chance of winning. It's not that the strength of the three superstars is not enough, although Wei Shao performed well in the Clippers at the beginning, but in fact, Wei Shao's annual salary is 7.8 million for two years, which cannot be regarded as a superstar-level player.
