As the saying goes: When something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Before the Los Angeles Lakers' away game against the Boston Celtics today, the Lakers updated the team's injury list, and James and thick eyebrows both missed the yellow-green game due to injury! It is conceivable how serious the consequences of Zhan Mei's absence are, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Lakers are likely to suffer three consecutive defeats. After all, you're facing the Celtics, who have the best record in the league, not to mention that your two cores are both absent! Even if James plays with thick eyebrows at the same time, he may not be able to leave Boston with a smile.
According to statistics, since 2019, the Lakers have only achieved 13 wins and 21 losses in the absence of James and thick eyebrows at the same time, which fully shows the importance of Zhan Mei to the Lakers! The Lakers cited James' absence as a left ankle peroneal tendon injury, while Anthony Davis suffered a bilateral Achilles tendon injury and left hip spasm. So, is it true that Zhan Mei can't play or is there something else hidden? Perkins, a well-known commentator, said that this was James' usual operation, and that he was making a statement to the team management, Pelinka and Jeanie Buss. Whenever the trade deadline approaches, we get that attitude from James.
However, then a reporter broke the shocking melon, that is, the Lakers want to trade James, not to bring in a championship helper for him! Local KTLA reporter D**ID Pingacore tweeted about James' trade prospects. He wrote: ".Hearing from NBA sources that the Lakers' current top trade target is 39-year-old James, Pelinka is looking for a suitable team trade and now has a close suitor. Zhan Mei was both absent from the yellow-green battle tonight. ”
This means that the real reason why Zhan Mei was both absent from the yellow-green battle tonight is most likely related to James' potential big trade. Judging from the reporter's report, it seems that the deal is close to being reached, just waiting for the official announcement! Could it be that James' Lakers career is over, and the countdown to leaving the team has officially begun? It's incredible to think about!
It is worth mentioning that D**ID Pingalore from KTLA has 25 years of experience in the industry, and he has worked as a James Cavaliers 1Cavaliers with reporters at the 0 period. He has also been involved in reporting on James' joining the Heat and returning to the Cavaliers, as well as Kawhi Leonard's joining the Los Angeles Clippers in 2019. Judging by his past resume, his reporting accuracy is very high! So, will James really start a new chapter in his career with a change of doors at the trade deadline? Who will be the team that is close to a deal with the Lakers? Let's wait and see!
