On June 29th, Beijing time, the Houston Rockets officially confirmed the buyout of Wall , who will join the Los Angeles Clippers as a free agent; Unfortunately, in the trading market, once became a hot topic in public opinion. The Lakers has always been a big deal. After Pelinka lost Irving , he once set his sights on the buyout market, and Wall was the best candidate to reinforce the No. 1 position. Unfortunately, in the end, Wall did not choose to join the Lakers, but joined the arch-enemy Clippers . In this case, the Lakers lost their best reinforcement target.
According to the famous ESPN reporter Chris Broussard, he questioned Wall's key choice and bluntly said that Wall will pay the price for this choice; He said that in fact, the Lakers currently lack traditional guards, Westbrook If Wall joins the Lakers, he will definitely have a chance to start. In his opinion, there is no conflict between Wall and Westbrook joining forces.
Clippers or Lakers! Wall's choice was too wise.
From the moment he was confirmed to be bought out by the Houston Rockets to the time Wall joined the Los Angeles Clippers, it was less than a day. It was obvious that Wall had made a decision before the buyout; for this pen operation, The Clippers have indeed become a dark horse in acquiring Wall. However, after Wall's arrival, the Clippers are very likely to solve their stubborn organizational problems. Wall and Reggie Jackson, a Good at offense, one good at organization and defense, plus Paul George and Leonard, the Clippers' lineup in the new season is indeed very interesting.
However, NBA famous reporter Chris Broussard gave a different view. He believes that if Wall chooses to join the Lakers, the effect of the new season will be more suitable than joining the Clippers; he is more worried about Wall joining the Clippers. It is to become a player who takes the blame. Wall joined the Clippers because of the existence of Tyronn Lu. However, from the current point of view, the latter cannot give Wall a guarantee of starting; Wall is likely to choose to play as a substitute for the Clippers.
However, Wall is now a winner in life, and he does not lack salary benefits. In the three seasons with the Rockets, Wall only played 40 games, but earned 123 million U.S. dollars. His salary level next season will be the highest in the world. Second in the league, second only to Curry; obviously, Wall is more eager to pursue a championship, and joining the Clippers is the most promising for him to achieve this goal.
Famous reporters questioned and broke the window paper, Westbrook was helpless
In addition, the biggest reason why Wall did not choose to join the Lakers was Westbrook; first of all, Westbrook once stated at the end of last season that he would not sacrifice himself as a substitute for the team. , this idea lasted until the end of last season; now that the Lakers have changed their head coach, Westbrook has decided to implement the player option for next season, which means that if Wall joins the Lakers, the Lakers will give Wall at most 600 With a mid-level contract of 10,000 US dollars, it is impossible for Westbrook to choose to play as a substitute for Wall.
Therefore, if the Lakers want to get Wall, in addition to strengthening the No. 1 position, the more important thing is the player options of Wall and Westbrook. After the end of the next season, both Wall and Westbrook's contracts will expire, which will release huge amounts of money. salary space , this is the real purpose of the Lakers; therefore, in terms of sacrifice, the Clippers' commitment to Wall is much higher than that of the Lakers. This is the gap. As for Westbrook, now that the player option has been implemented, the Lakers are even more It's difficult to make a move. There is a high probability that they will continue to join forces with James and Mei to win the championship next season. Do you expect such a Lakers team?
