The Lakers easily defeated Trail Blazers . Judging from the recent games, the Lakers' condition has also improved significantly compared to the beginning of the game season. Especially after Westbrook and played as a substitute, the Lakers' chemistry gradually established. Although the current winning rate is not yet 50%, it can be seen that the Lakers are still competitive.
Westbrook's substitute made his trip with James's staggered trip also effective. It can be said that the Big Three of the Lakers found a chemical reaction. But for the current Lakers, they are just a team competing for the playoffs, not a team that can compete for the championship. As Westbrook plays better and better on the bench, will the Lakers still trade?
Although Westbrook plays well as a substitute, for Lakers , they are still in a passive situation in trading. If you want to trade Westbrook, the Lakers still have to pay the first round pick. Whether the Lakers want to trade is the key point of what Westbrook can get. If only the Pacers Pacers 's Turner and Hilde 's, the current Lakers don't need to pay two first-round picks to seek a deal, unless the Pacers are good and eat Westbrook's contract, they also give two starting players to the Lakers, but this is almost impossible.
The second is whether the Lakers can use Westbrook to add two first rounds to exchange for stars of Irving and DeRozan . If the Lakers have the chance to get such an All-Star player, then it is necessary to pay two first rounds to trade. Otherwise, just wait until Westbrook's contract expires next summer, and you can go to the free market to sign a star player. After all, the Lakers' market is there, and James and Mei are still on the team.
For the current Lakers, whether to trade depends on what they get. It’s just that it’s not necessary to exchange Turner and Hilde for now. It can’t become a team that wins the championship. It will take two more rounds. After all, Westbrook is also a positive role at the moment. But if you can get an All-Star player, then the Lakers need to give it a try.
