Boom 93 36 20! The Clippers nemesis was born, and the Lakers withdrew ** to save the next round of draft picks for Lao Zhan!
Last time out, the Lakers won 145-144 over the Golden State Warriors in two overtime games, and in that game, James was excellent in both physical and offensive prowess. James had 36 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists, and Bushy 29 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, and 4 blocks. In addition, the Lakers have discovered a new superstar - Russell, who contributed 28 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 assists against the Warriors. She's been in a state of madness since January. But earlier, he was put on the bench by Ham, and in the Lakers' infighting, Russell won again.
It's a difficult decision for the Lakers, should they be traded? Will you continue to keep your current team, or will you have a star player? Prior to this, the Rockets had been in talks for a long time about the transfer of Murray. But now, Russell is back, which has left the Lakers wondering if they're going to trade him. According to renowned journalist Stein, in order to trade Murray, they will use a first-round pick in '29, Russell in exchange.
Their main target was Reaves, and they wanted him, and the Lakers treated him like something they couldn't sell. However, it's not Reaves' problem, it's whether the Lakers think it's right to trade Murray for Russell. Stein disclosed that it wasn't that long ago that the Lakers looked as if they were abandoning the contract. Similarly, the Rockets are baffled by this, and they have become hesitant with the team's recent inaction. In fact, Pelinka was no exception, and he had doubts about his abilities.
In January, Russell scored 30 twice, once at 39 and once at 34, and the rest of the games he scored more than 25 points. In particular, Russell has scored more than 20 points in the last six playoff games. In those eight games, Russell's performance was terrible, averaging 27 per game5 points, 64 rebounds, 52 percent three-pointers, and a whopping 54 percent three-point shooting. Russell has played 43 games so far, averaging 2Six 3-pointers, shooting 43 percent from three-point range, averaging 17 per game1 point 27 rebounds and 61 assist.
Today, although Russell is one of the Lakers' three superstars, he does show some strength. He is not yet 28 years old, the best age for a defensive player. The Lakers have failed in previous seasons, and after 20 years of championships, they were torn apart with a lot of role players, making it difficult for their rookies to adapt, and in the playoffs of the 21st century, they were eliminated. In 22, the Lakers used their only few chips to bet on Wei Shao, but they didn't even enter the playoffs.
Last season, the Lakers sent Willis away in the first round, and then traded a group of potential players for a playoff ticket. From the way the Lakers have operated in the past two years, it can be seen that the stud thick eyebrows are necessary. As for the rest, forget it, Murray's joining, will it be better, no one knows, will it be as good as Russell? The Lakers also spent a lot of money, a No. 29 No. 1 pick, plus a first-round trade, which is already the Lakers' last hole card.
With the current roster, the Lakers are not without chances, and they have won against the mighty Clippers in All-Star form. Next, they took the Thunder, and the biggest problem for the Lakers is that they can't always be at the top of their offensive and defensive peaks. As James has gotten older, the Lakers' performance has become more and more inconsistent. But if it's just one game, then the Lakers are a real dark horse. This time, the Lakers made it to the playoffs, but they finished in seven or eight places, which is a very troublesome thing for the top two teams in the East. If the Lakers keep playing, they're really a good player.
