In exchange for this versatile offensive and defensive superstar, the Lakers spent most of their young core and future draft picks. According to the team's thinking, AD can also be their future successor.

However, since the championship season, Davis' condition has gone from bad to worse. I wonder if it was because he persisted in playing despite injuries during the series. Since then, he has hardly been in a state of recovery. He has always been injured repeatedly. In a few games In the game, the ball feeling and game state are also not as good as before.

Although AD is still an outstanding big man in the league, his market value is no longer what it used to be.

According to a media reporter: Davis’s current trade value has declined seriously, and his injury history will not allow other teams to give him enough bargaining chips. An executive from a Lakers competitor told reporters that Davis’ trade Values ​​are lower than ever, and by a significant margin.

Davis is 28 years old. In his nine-year career, he has only played 70 games in two seasons, and he only played a total of 73 games in the two seasons with the Lakers. The aging LeBron and not The stable Westbrook highlights the current problem of the Lakers-they urgently need AD to return to the team to solve the current problem.

critic A. Smith commented on this situation: "I like Davis very much. He is a superstar, averaging 23+9 per game and shooting over 50%, but you can't keep him anymore. Because his value is only superficial. The value of the player, his durability is too poor, the longer he becomes, the more vulnerable he will become. LeBron now needs more helpers, and Davis’s role is to exchange for something (through trade).”

Despite the reduced transaction value, Smith still suggested that the Lakers trade Davis away. The reason is quite reasonable. Davis's perennial injuries have affected the team's championship plan. Although they were lucky enough to win a championship with AD, the championship competition that year was actually very thrilling. AD was also injured at the last moment. Although he insisted on playing, it also meant that he could fall at any time.

What the Lakers need now is stable scoring points and a reliable second-in-command. During the offseason, the management needs to re-examine the team's future.
