Interpretation from many aspects - in the post-James era, why do people with thick eyebrows have to join the Lakers? In-depth interpretation - thick eyebrows went to the Lakers two years early, just to play brother basketball with James?

When talking about Paul George still has three years left on his contract but submitted a trade request in advance to join Clippers , another person is inevitably mentioned, and he is Anthony Davis.

Cole talked about this incident in an interview. He said that the behavior of thick eyebrows had a bad impact on the league, set a "bad" example for other players, and was dissatisfied with it.

To be fair, if you want to rise to the level of "loyalty", thick eyebrows are indeed a bit unauthentic. He entered the league from Pelicans . In the past few years, the Pelicans have tried their best to cultivate him, and It helped him retain Holiday, get Cousins ​​ and Rondo, and now he has grown into a top-seven player in the league, thanks to the cultivation of the Pelicans. And leaving like this, submitting a trade request in advance is like pouring cold water on the Pelicans' head. When the Pelicans are thinking about how to build a team around the thick eyebrows to win the championship, the thick eyebrows are thinking about how to the Lakers team up to win the championship. , no wonder the Pelicans "teased" the Lakers and refused to trade with them. If they didn't have this temper, there would be no face left.

However, from the perspective of individual players, there are defensible reasons for thick eyebrows. First of all, although the Pelicans have cultivated thick eyebrows for many years, they have never been successful. The thick eyebrows are full of talent, but they can only fail to reach the Western Conference Finals every year. Isn't this a waste of talent and talent? Thick eyebrows should perform on a broad stage. Secondly, the lineup of the "Three Kentucky Brothers" was broken. The Pelicans did not inform the team leader, did not listen to his opinions and suggestions, and even learned about the situation after the decision was made. Rondo left, Cousins ​​​​left, and the Pelicans were still Only one person with thick eyebrows is left. Is this really what helped him become famous? Or are you just considering the interests of the team?

Therefore, Nongmei made a full "escape plan"!

fired his agent, and then moved to the James camp. With James' current agent, which is also the strongest economic company in the active league, he became a player under Rich Paul's name. Naturally, he and James There are some relationships. Except for themselves, no one knows when this matter was planned.

Seeing that the Pelicans were unable to make the playoffs , Nongmei applied for a trade at this time. It seemed that he had absolute reasons and a clear conscience, but in the end he went to the Lakers by name, which undoubtedly reduced his personal transaction. This is different from Paul George's behavior back then. At that time, the thick eyebrows not only named him to definitely go to the Lakers, he even selected his own agent and the same as James. No team is willing to take such a big risk anymore. If the agent with thick eyebrows is not Rich Paul, maybe the Celtics will trade for Tatum.

When the Lakers were in crisis, when no one wanted to go to the Lakers, Big Eyebrow proposed a trade to go to the Lakers. Although the Lakers were in dire straits and failed to make the playoffs for six consecutive years, he still insisted on starting a business with James. This love and this meaning can be sung and cried!

But, is it really just as simple as "brother basketball"? If you go to the Lakers, what else will you get with thick eyebrows?

No. 1, the championship is the biggest temptation

Nongmei will be 27 years old next season. After several years of training with the Pelicans, it is time to show off his ambitions. Looking at the entire league, the Lakers are one of the most suitable teams. One, for no other reason than two things: they have James and they have salary space. If you don't stick together during your playing years, you will have to be humble when you get older. At least the thick eyebrows now still have enough influence and strength to change the league structure.

The current Lakers belong to the post-James era. Now James is not as majestic as he used to be in Cavaliers . He is getting older and older. Starting from the playoffs last season, facts have proved that he can no longer cover the sky with one hand. There are many big names here. In the West, we need a combination of capable people to break out.

As a result, the combination of James and Nongmei came into being.This is not groundless. There have been many successful cases of similar combinations. In the past, there was Kobe and O'Neal's inside and outside, and later there was James and Bosh , Love teaming up to win the championship, so Now their combination will definitely bring great confidence to thick eyebrows. The main goal of coming to the Lakers is to win the championship. Only by winning the championship can they deal a painful blow to the outside world. Just like James and Durant, their greatness has been written into history, and the rumors will only become more and more popular. Less, getting lighter and lighter.

Second, the commercial value has soared

New Orleans is a small city after all, and the basketball market is far less than Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe for a superstar, there is no need to worry about the sales and exposure of jerseys and sneakers, but what if it can be doubled if he comes to Los Angeles? This is a huge temptation. Who doesn't like playing in the spotlight? Who doesn't like to be the focus of the league? Don’t think that Leonard doesn’t care about this. You must know that the team he is in is Los Angeles, and he has been dealing with the Lakers, Clippers and Raptors this summer, and helped the Clippers introduce Paul George. Creating more basketball buzz than the Raptors' championship, his team is in the spotlight and enjoying the attention.

Los Angeles is not only a place where players can increase their worth and exposure, but also where they can gain things beyond basketball. Hollywood is here, Disney is here. Prominent people such as famous families, business tycoons, entertainment industry tycoons, etc. often gather here, so the opportunities for thick eyebrows to invest in themselves and make business investments will also increase. Kobe was already the boss before he retired. Why did James come to Los Angeles? Why is Durant going to New York? These successful players are not only concerned about basketball issues. And the thick eyebrows coming here can pave the way for his two careers.

Third, inheriting this team

James will eventually grow old. The so-called eldest son Bronny will inherit his father's business is just gossip. If the thick eyebrows stay next season, in the next nearly 8 years, He is the well-deserved face of the team. When James' contract expires or he leaves the Lakers, Big Eyebrow will be the boss of the Lakers and he will inherit this team.

is much more exciting than inheriting the Pelicans and inheriting the Lakers. This is a team with the second-largest number of championships in the league. Their cultural heritage, the number of superstars and Hall of Fame players they have produced are countless. Being able to play in such a team and become a new generation of leaders, What an honor. If Nongmei stays with the Pelicans and goes to away games, there may be a few people cheering for him, but when he plays for the Lakers and goes to away games, there will be countless people wearing his jersey, and the cheers he will win are unimaginable. As a superstar, he will definitely enjoy this kind of treatment!

In the post-James era, thick eyebrows have to go to the Lakers. Of course, the championship is very important, but maybe these are just superficial things. Those deeper things this time will be reflected slowly and bit by bit in the future. come out!
