"It turns out that the light in a person's eyes will disappear." As a boy who was once a big vision in the NBA league, Westbrook has gradually lost himself. In Thunder , it is called an all-round warrior, and triple-double is synonymous with him. In the past, we could always see Westbrook showing a big boy-like smile on the court. Now we see Westbrook's serious face and empty eyes on the court. The stadium used to be his refuge, but now it has become the place where we want to escape the most.
Westbrook's poor performance in Lakers disappointed the fans and management. After the team lost, James and Thick-eyed revealed their frustration after losing the game, but Westbrook was completely the opposite. He gave up and laughed happily in the interview. From this, Westbrook did not feel that the loss had any impact and had already taken everything lightly.
Regarding the current relationship between Westbrook and the Lakers' management and the current situation of the Lakers, trading Westbrook may be the best plan for the Lakers at present. According to the latest report by Barry Jackson, a reporter from the Miami Herald, "In order to send Westbrook away, the Lakers are willing to pay the first round pick, while the Miami Heat is very interested in this first round pick and is willing to give a plan with Lowry as the main bargaining chip." The US media proposed a trading plan based on this transaction news. The Lakers gave Westbrook + the first round in 27 years, and got Caleb Martin + Kyle Lowry + Victor Oladipo .
If this transaction can be reached, it will be mutually beneficial to both the Lakers and Heat . First of all, Westbrook's departure on the Lakers was exchanged for two former All-Star players and a forward who can shoot. The joining of these three will solve the current problems of the Lakers. The most serious problem for the Lakers is the lack of firepower in the three-point range, and these three have the ability to shoot outside, and their defensive ability is not weaker than their offensive ability. It can be said that these three can play a different role with James and Mei.
Oladipo's scoring ability is what the Lakers need now. After James is out, he needs a player who can drive the team to score. Oladipo is competent for this position. After the offseason recovery, Oladipo's condition has improved and his style of play has become more and more mature. The arrival of Caleb Martin not only improves the Lakers' three-point ability in the forward line, but also improves the Lakers' defensive ability in the forward line, which is the type that the Lakers need now.
For the Heat, the current lineup has become saturated, and sending away Oladipo and Lowry will reduce the congestion of the ball rights, allowing the ball rights to be better distributed, sending away three players that will not affect the team's current players, and in exchange for a first-round pick that can change the future. For the Heat, it will be a sure profit and no loss. This deal will not affect the team's current record, and allow the team to remain competitive in the future, so there are more choices.
, and Westbrook's joining will give the team more choices on the offensive end. In terms of impacting the basket, Westbrook is more threatening than Lowry and Oladipo, which will gain more room for the Heat's outside shooting. Moreover, Westbrook's singles will give Butler more rest time and enter playoffs in the best competitive state.
Westbrook's departure from the Lakers is also correct for him. He was ridiculed by home fans and the denial of himself by the outside world, which made Westbrook no longer confident. He is not sure of himself and dare not take action when facing an empty basket. Leaving the Lakers Westbrook will reduce public opinion pressure and have more thoughts on the game, which will gradually regain confidence and restore his state.
