On October 25, Beijing time, Lakers did not have any game on this day, but multiple news came out. Two-way contract player and shooter Sweed suffered a stress fracture and was absent for at least four weeks. The Lakers gave up rookie Christie, magician suggested Westbrook to take responsibility, and Odom suggested the Lakers trade thunderbolt .
Lakers' two-way contract player Sweed was diagnosed with a stress fracture of the right foot sabule and will be re-evaluated within 4 weeks. Sweed is a tall shooter who played in the opening game for 2 minutes this season without scoring, scoring 1 rebound and 1 assist.
Sweed performed very well in this summer league. He played 8 games, averaging 13.9 points and 4.0 rebounds per game, and a three-point shooting percentage of 52.8%.
However, Sweed performed averagely in the preseason and did not get reused by Hamm since the regular season.
Lakers transferred No. 35 Christie to the Lakers affiliated development league South Bay Lakers. Christie is the Lakers' forward player, and only represents the Lakers playing one regular season game, played for 2 minutes, and scored 3 points and 1 rebound. Christie is still too young, and her shooting ability and defense need to be polished, and it is difficult to provide help in the regular season for the time being. Delegate to the Development Alliance for a while and maybe you can perform better after you come back.
For Westbrook's poor performance in the new season and the wrong shooting choices in the critical moments of Trail Blazers , all the celebrities have made suggestions for him. Garnett said on the podcast that he would pray for him and hoped that Westbrook would look up. It was a long season: "No matter what you are going to do, man, find your love, find your passion."
Magic Johnson hopes Westbrook will admit his mistakes first, take responsibility, and not fight against the media. The Magician also took the example of his poor performance against Celtics in the 1984 series, took the responsibility himself, and then practiced hard in the summer, and fought against the Celtics one year later, and he led the team to achieve revenge.
Lakers legend Odom talked about what trading the Lakers need to do to change the status quo on the podcast show. The point he put forward is quite unique: "I think they need to trade Anthony Davis . This is not disrespect for AD. He is my favorite player, but he may have played in 82 games in the past two seasons (actually only played 76 games)? If Kobe is there, I know what he would say, 'Yo, go trade this bastard'."
Odom also admits that most people may not agree with this suggestion. Indeed, the healthy Black Brow is still very powerful. The team's problem is Westbrook and the lineup configuration lack forward reserves.
