According to "New York Post" reporter Marc Berman, the Knicks and the Lakers are interested in getting Magic third-year center Mohamed Bamba.
Bamba is the No. 6 show in 2018. He played 47 games for the Magic in the rookie season, averaging 16.3 minutes, 6.2 points, 5 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.4 blocks, 46% shooting from the field and 30% from three-pointers. .
Last season, Bamba averaged only 5.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 1.4 blocks per game, shooting 46% from the field and 35% from the three-point range. This season only represented the Magic in 13 games, averaging only 8.6 minutes, 4.8 points, 3.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks per game.
Although Bamba's basic data is very general, but combined with playing time, Bamba can get 14.1 points, 11.9 rebounds and 3.3 blocks per 36 minutes. He would not have fallen out of the magic rotation like he is now. If the magic is about the intensity of the championship, and there is no time to train Bamba, it can only be lamented that Bamba is bad luck. But in fact, the Magic entered the playoffs with the eighth last train in the Eastern Conference last season, and currently ranks 12th in the Eastern Conference this season. The prospects for the playoffs are not optimistic.
Why is magic unwilling to train Bamba? No one knows. You must know that Bamba was already a household supernova before entering the league. Bamba, who is 2.13 meters tall, has a horrible wingspan of 2.39 meters.
As a comparison, the Lakers's Jr. Tucker has a wingspan of 2.13 meters, James has a wingspan of 2.14 meters, and the Clippers has a Wings of 2.20 meters. Bamba's 2m39 wingspan, looking at NBA history, is ranked top.
Bamba is not only excellent in static talent, but also in dynamic talent. With the height of a center (2m13), Bamba has a flexible footwork, coupled with his terrifying wingspan, which also allows him to contribute 1.3 blocks in an average of 13.4 minutes of playing time per game. And Bamba can also shoot three-pointers, although his shooting percentage is only 32.3%, but as a center, this is an acceptable shooting percentage.
But no matter how you blow it up before the draft, what is certain is that the Magic have given up training Bamba. This also gives the Lakers and Knicks hope of getting Bamba.
This season is only Bamba's third season in the NBA. He is only 22 years old this year. If he is trained properly, Bamba may be able to fulfill his talent. The Lakers have been in a hurry recently, and Brother Nongmei will be absent for at least 2-3 weeks due to Achilles tendinitis. According to US media reports, the Lakers are very cautious about when Brother Nongmei will return. Only when Brother Nongmei is 100% healed, they will let him come back. In addition, even if the thick eyebrow brother returns, the Lakers will be very careful with its use. It is very necessary to add a meat shield to relieve the pressure on Brother Thick Eyebrow. Little Gasol is also a meat shield, but after all, he is older, his ability has declined, and his playing time is limited. Harrell is trapped in height and has no problem on the offensive end. Sometimes the defensive end is not enough.
Since the Magic has given up on training Bamba, they must be willing to trade Bamba. But I just don't know what bargaining chips are needed to impress the magic. American media lakeshowlife columnist Jason Reed believes that if the Lakers want to get Bamba, they may have to pay teenager Tucker. Jason Reed provided a trading plan. The Lakers sent Tucker, Caruso, Dudley, the second round of 23 and 25, 5 for 1 to get Bamba.
There is a saying, although Bamba is very attractive, but if the Lakers have to pay such a big price to get Bamba, it is not very worthwhile.
