Little Jordan, , Durant and Irving are very good friends in private. In the summer of 2019, he was able to get this four-year $40 million fat from the Nets. To put it bluntly, it is actually a relationship household. So why are the Nets clearing him out now? You must know that according to previous news, Durant and Irving did not agree with the management to do so, but in the end the team made the decision that they felt was right.
Since the Nets management is willing to take the risk of offending the Big Three to send away Jordan, there are naturally their reasons. According to team reporter Alex Schiffer, the coaching staff never thinks that Jordan is suitable for the team, because he never played defense (Jordan never played defense), and this is what the team needs most.
The news of this reporter is still quite reliable, because he is the first reporter in the United States to report that the Nets will send away Jr. Jordan. At that time, he said in the report: "Whether it is through trading, Buyout or lay off directly, I can’t find the reason why Jordan will continue to stay on the team.” And we also have to admire the Nets’ management, they finally chose a way to give away Jordan with the least loss, even There is nothing to lose.
Through this transaction, the Nets can not only save money, but also ensure the flexibility of the team's future operations. In addition to creating a special transaction of 6.3 million US dollars, it can be said that it is Three birds with one stone. If Jordan is so bad, why should the Lakers bring him in again? In fact, they just want to replicate the 2019-20 championship season. At that time, the team also had three towers. Today, Jordan is like McGee back then.But the problem is that McGee's ability to protect the frame is still very good. If Jordan is still unwilling to defend, it is tantamount to getting a cup of poison.
As we all know, Jordan has been selected to the best defensive team twice. It is impossible to say that he can't defend. The key lies in correcting his mentality. Jordan is actually like Howard back then. He can’t accept his sudden transition from an All-Star center to a blue-collar center, so he will have some small emotions on the court. In this regard, after Jordan joins the Lakers, Howard should enlighten him. After all, World of Warcraft was the league's first center. He once stood at a position much higher than Jordan. Since he can adjust his mentality, why Jordan Can't it?
With the addition of Jordan, almost all the media and experts believe that Marc Gasol has entered the countdown to leave the team. On the one hand, the Lakers no longer need him. On the one hand, Jia also knows that he has lost the meaning of staying in this team. According to Lakers and team reporter Jovan Buha, Gasol's Lakers career is basically over, and he is currently considering not returning to the Lakers.
This raises another question. The Lakers give up Gasol for Jordan. Is it worth it? In contrast, Xiaojia is obviously better to use. He can pass the ball, shoot three-pointers, and protect the basket, but if Jordan fails to find his defense, then he only has the ability to eat cakes. , This is actually not what the Lakers really want.
