Beijing time on June 29, with Irving returning to the Nets, Wall was bought out and directly joined the Clippers. It can be said that the Lakers have gained nothing so far in the offseason, and the outside world is generally dissatisfied. I am optimistic about the Lakers. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult for the Lakers to strengthen their team.
However, the Lakers also have their own ideas. Famous reporters Wojanaroski and Charania revealed that the Lakers are looking forward to Westbrook realizing the return of the king under the guidance of new coach Hamm. In fact, if this is the case, it is really worth looking forward to. After all, the Lakers' original lineup is not bad.
The Lakers have the super Big Three of James , Big Eyebrow , and Westbrook. It can be said that if the three of them perform well, then the Lakers are no worse than any team in the league, or even stronger. Therefore, they It is understandable that there is no need for reinforcements, only role players need to be reinforced around the Big Three.
However, the Lakers did not even enter the play-offs in the past year. Why? Big Eyebrow's injury has led to his poor performance. Westbrook has been unable to integrate into the team's system. James's aging has led to a decline in dominance. This is the current problem of the Big Three.
James' problem is not bad. After all, he almost won the scoring title in the past year. His personal performance is still very good, but it is not as good as his peak. The injury of Brother Big Eyebrow has healed. Now it is an attitude problem, which can be easily solved. The only problem is How Westbrook integrates into the system is a big problem.
Therefore, the Lakers have changed a head coach, and Hamm’s joining has given people more expectations. Hamm was very good at cultivating players when he was an assistant coach. If Westbrook returns to his old performance of averaging a triple-double per game, then, this A Lakers team will definitely be the favorite team to win the championship, and may even be expected to compete for the championship.
