The performance of the Lakers in recent years. It can be summed up with big ups and downs. They are constantly hovering between the edge of the playoffs and the championship. The reason is that due to the variability of their lineup, they need to carry out a big change every year to ensure better competitiveness, and the aging of the team is also a major hidden danger for them. In this year's off season, their operations can be called the best in the league. Not only did they form a Big Three team, led by James Davis and Westbrook , they also added a large number of high-quality role players, enhancing the depth of the overall lineup and reliability during the season. According to the predictions of many media, the Lakers are the favorites to compete for the championship next season, but they still have room to improve themselves, especially their guard shooter lineup.
According to reports from the US media "BR", according to sources, the Lakers are preparing for a 2-for-1 deal, and they intend to use the team’s Jordan and Bazemore was used as a bargaining chip in exchange for the Heat's Duncan Robinson. This deal can greatly enhance the three-point threat of their defenders and the team's overall tactical diversity.
Duncan Robinson has just renewed his contract with the Heat with a maximum salary of 90 million in 4 years and 5 years in this off-season. As a player who could only get the league's basic salary, he has struggled step by step to this day. The process is not easy. As an older rookie, he is 27 years old this year and is in his prime as a shooter. Compared with other rookies, he has a more complete quotient and tactical awareness, and can integrate into the team as soon as possible. In the Heat, he inherited all the qualities of a good shooter, worked hard on the court, did everything within his job, and gradually developed into an indispensable part of the team. In the last season, he could contribute 13+3 data per game. Although his performance is not very good from the data point of view, if you see his game, you will know how important his role is on the court. With extremely excellent outside shooting ability,He can attract a large number of defensive players on the court and pay attention to create better scoring opportunities for other teammates. On the offensive end, his scoring method is very simple, that is, simply catch the ball or use the screen to move the shot. He has a tireless awareness of running and can always consume a lot of energy and physical strength of the opposing players on the court. But other offensive methods are somewhat lacking. When he is on the court, he needs an excellent organizer to match with him in order to maximize his strength. On the defensive end, his performance is somewhat unsatisfactory. Although he has a strong defensive awareness and attitude, the physical gap cannot be compensated. This means that in a playoff-level team, there must be better ball handlers and point guards on the court, so that he can maximize his strength. The current Heat team does not have players of this level. He often relies on his running position to get better scoring opportunities.
Jordan joined the Lakers just after being cut by the Nets in the offseason. At the age of 33 this year, he has no ability to become a team's starting level, so he was given up by the Nets. In fact, it is reasonable to say that his ability is more than that, but due to excessive profligacy, his talent and lack of effort led to the current ending. The Lakers have a very poor post this year, so they chose to sign him. But in terms of strength, he can no longer match the ability of Howard, so his role in the middle of the season is dispensable. It is better to use him in exchange for better quality role players, especially when he is already on the defensive end. It didn't work at all, I didn't even bother to stretch my hand. In the Heat will have a better defensive system and atmosphere, but it may stimulate his potential. In the offseason, Bazemore just rushed to trade him with a basic salary. It is a bit unreasonable, but for the sake of the team as a whole, these are still acceptable. He was able to contribute 7+4 data last season, and as a substitute player, his performance was quite satisfactory.
The author believes that this deal can improve the Lakers' shooting ability of the guards and ensure that their offensive firepower on the guard line will not diminish.What's more, the team also has James, Westbrook, , Rondo and many other high-quality playmakers who can pass the ball. Such a playmaker lineup is paradise for defenders with shooting ability. Fans can leave a message in the comment area for their views on this deal.
