Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are in trouble. The Lakers have not been doing well recently. Key players are not performing well, and the defense is a mess, resulting in seven losses in the past nine games. Just like in our domestic CBA league, there is a team that has encountered a similar situation. A team that was once highly anticipated, but several key players were not in good form on the court, constantly making mistakes, and not being proactive in defense. This led to their defeat in several games, leaving fans quite disappointed. This is very similar to the current situation of the Lakers, where player issues have made the team's performance less than ideal.
The Los Angeles Lakers management found that they must adjust the lineup through trades. We say that the Lakers often appear in this kind of situation that relies on trades to adjust the lineup. Why? Taking this season's offseason as an example, they hardly adjusted the lineup at all. You say that some teams in our domestic CBA league are also like this. Just like a previous team, there were no major moves during the offseason, and the results were not ideal after the new season started. It was only then that they discovered problems with the lineup and had to try to change the situation through various trades. The Lakers are now in a similar situation.
On Friday, local time in the United States, according to American media reporter Bill Simmons, the Lakers should trade Anthony Davis. Well, this news is really surprising! The Lakers want to trade Anthony Davis? This sounds complicated. We say that player trades are common in basketball, but for stars like Davis, if they are really traded, the impact will not be small. For example, there is a team in the CBA that was originally strong and had a core player who performed outstandingly. But later, the team felt that for long-term development, they planned to trade this core player. At first, everyone didn't understand, thinking it was self-destructive. But the result was that the team obtained some promising young players and draft picks through the trade, and after a period of training, the team's strength became even stronger. So, sometimes trading players can't just look at the present, but also consider the long term. Is the Lakers considering something like this? It's hard to say.
Simmons said in his podcast, "Here's what I really think the Lakers should do. They should trade Davis and cash him out. For example, Davis could be traded to the Rockets. Wouldn't the Rockets consider it? ... Of course they would." I think Simmons' words are unreliable. We say that Davis of the Lakers is not an ordinary person, with his strength there! If he were really traded away, could the Lakers bear it? It's like having a particularly skilled farmer in our village, who is a treasure of the village. Can you give him away casually? In my opinion, the matter of trading is not that simple. Think about it, if Davis were really traded to the Rockets, the Rockets might consider it, but who can say for sure what the subsequent impact would be? We say that the basketball team next door traded away one of their main players, hoping to get some benefits, but the result was that the team's performance plummeted, and they regretted it too late. Therefore, the matter of trading must be cautious and not easily say who to trade away.
Simmons further stated, "With the Lakers' current lineup, they can't win the championship. The Lakers are not only weak in offense but also can't stop opponents from scoring. Moreover, the Lakers management also knows that Davis, who is 31 years old, is currently in unprecedented good physical condition, which is the best time for a trade." We say that according to Simmons, the Lakers' current lineup simply has no chance of winning the championship. Why do you say that? Because the Lakers' offense is not working, lacking energy, and unable to produce results; the defense is also not working, unable to stop opponents from scoring. Also, the Lakers management is clear that Davis, who is 31 years old, is now in particularly good physical condition. How good is it? Unprecedentedly good. Therefore, they believe that this is the best time to trade Davis. Let's take an example. It's like a team is a car, offense is like the power of the car, and defense is like the brakes of the car. The Lakers' current situation is that the power is insufficient, they can't run fast; the brakes are not working, and they can't stop when they want to. And Davis is like an important part of the car. Now this part is in good condition, but the team thinks that trading this part may be more beneficial to the team. Just like a domestic basketball team before, there was an outstanding player in the team, but the team traded him away for overall development and brought in players who were more suitable for the team's tactics. So, the Lakers management may also think this way, wanting to trade Davis to make the team develop better.
Simmons suggests that the Rockets offer center Alperen Sengun, forward Amen Thompson, and guard Dillon Brooks, plus some draft picks, to trade for Davis. Or the Pacers could use power forward Pascal Siakam and point guard T.J. McConnell for such a trade. We say that this trade suggestion sounds lively. Taking the Rockets as an example, if they really do as Simmons suggests, it would be a big deal. Think about it, Sengun, this center, has a certain role in the team, and Amen Thompson and Dillon Brooks are not pushovers either. If they all go to exchange for Davis, the Rockets must carefully consider whether it is worth it. It's like a previous CBA team that traded away several main players in order to get a big-name player, but the newly acquired big-name player did not fit well with the team, and the results were worse than before. Therefore, this trade is not simply exchanging people back and forth, but many aspects need to be considered. Speaking of the Pacers, using Pascal Siakam and T.J. McConnell for a trade. These two players also have a certain status in the Pacers. If they are really traded, the Pacers must weigh the pros and cons carefully, so as not to end up losing more than gaining. I remember a domestic basketball team that did something similar, trading away important players, but the newly acquired players did not perform as expected, and the team's strength declined instead. Therefore, the matter of trading must be cautious and cannot just listen to others' suggestions, but must decide based on the actual situation of their own team.
Some media also believe that the Los Angeles Lakers can trade Anthony Davis to the San Antonio Spurs. We say that this matter is actually quite intriguing. Think about it, LeBron James' recent performance has declined, so it will be quite difficult for the Lakers to win the championship in the next two years. It's like our village's basketball team, where the core player's state is not good, so it's difficult for the team to win the championship! Therefore, insiders in the Lakers hinted that the team might need to rebuild. It's like a house that is old and broken, and needs to be rebuilt to live more comfortably. The Lakers may be in such a situation now, feeling that they need to make some adjustments to have a better future.
American media FW suggests that the Lakers send Davis and D'Angelo Russell to the Spurs in exchange for multiple potential players and multiple future first-round draft picks to pave the way for building a younger core lineup. This sounds mysterious. Think about it, if the Lakers really do this, they must weigh it carefully. Take our CBA's Guangdong team as an example. Back then, they also faced a similar choice. The team made some adjustments to the lineup for long-term development, sent away some old players, and brought in some promising young players. At first, the fans didn't quite understand, thinking that the old players were strong and shouldn't be sent away. But later, those young players grew up, and the team焕发出了新的活力。The Lakers, if they are determined to make changes like Guangdong, and through such trades to bring in potential players and draft picks, they might really be able to lay the foundation for building a younger core lineup and make the team more competitive in the future。But there are risks, after all, new players need time to grow, and whether they can meet expectations is uncertain。
The specific transaction plan is: This transaction plan is not simple, it involves many aspects。For example, let's take opening a snack bar as an analogy。Xiao Li wants to take over a snack bar, which is a transaction。So what is the specific plan for this transaction? First, you need to determine the price, which is like the core part of the transaction plan。Xiao Li needs to negotiate with the original owner about the transfer fee, rent, etc., which is to determine the basic conditions of the transaction。Then, we also need to see how to deal with things like equipment and ingredients in the store, which is also part of the transaction plan。Just like in other transactions, various details and clauses need to be clarified。For example, the transaction plan may also include some follow-up services or support, which corresponds to Xiao Li's snack bar, which may be the original owner agreeing to provide him with technical guidance for a period of time, or helping to contact some suppliers。In short, a specific transaction plan must consider all aspects clearly in order to allow the transaction to proceed smoothly。
The Spurs get: Forward Anthony Davis, guard D'Angelo Russell, center Christian Wood, and guard Jalen Hood-Hiffin。Do you know? The Spurs have made a big profit! They got so many excellent players at once。Let's talk about Anthony Davis, whose strength is not to be underestimated。We take Wang Qiang, a domestic player in the CBA,
