On January 17th, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continues. As the schedule progresses in depth, many teams in the league have also experienced varying degrees of injuries. In order to better fill the lineup gaps, teams led by the Suns have begun to make moves to strengthen their squads, hoping to transform their teams into an ideal state before the trade deadline. It is worth noting that after the Suns officially announced a 4-for-2 trade to acquire Richards, the Los Angeles Lakers have also completed their own recruitment operations. They temporarily gave up on Valanciunas, abandoned the Jazz's young interior player, officially waived two-way player Olivari, and signed with free agent Jamison. Here, some fans may be unfamiliar with the name Jamison. Is it really worth giving up Olivari, who averages 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and a three-point shooting rate of 40% in the Development League, for such an unknown player? The answer is obviously yes. As a 2023 NBA draft pick, the 25-year-old Jamison stands at 2.11 meters tall and weighs 117 kilograms. Since his debut, he has played for the Wizards, Pelicans, and Grizzlies. This season, he represented the Pelicans in 16 regular-season games, averaging 10 minutes per game and scoring 2 points and 2 rebounds. Although his statistics are average, Jamison's potential is still worth exploring. It should be noted that in last season's game against the Wizards, representing the Grizzlies, he once scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks in a single game with 13 out of 11 shots. In terms of…

The Lakers have recently shown a strong sense of aggression in their basketball operations, actively seeking reinforcement strategies aimed at optimizing the roster configuration to further enhance the team's competitiveness. In order to effectively alleviate the defensive pressure on Anthony Davis, the Lakers' management has focused on strengthening the interior defense, well aware that a solid interior defensive system is a must for the championship. Among the many potential targets for reinforcement, Draymond Green of the Warriors (known as "Chasing Dream Green") has become the Lakers' top choice due to his outstanding defensive abilities, excellent basketball IQ, and deep friendship with LeBron James. Chasing Dream Green not only demonstrates extraordinary toughness in interior defense but also stands out as a sought-after player in the league with his comprehensive technical features. His默契配合 with James will undoubtedly inject new vitality into both ends of the Lakers' offense and defense. To facilitate this trade, the Lakers have shown great sincerity. They plan to package Vincent, a valuable second-round draft pick, and promising rookie Kekert as chips to be sent to the Warriors in exchange for Chasing Dream Green's joining. This trade proposal not only reflects the Lakers' high regard for Chasing Dream Green but also demonstrates their firm determination on the road to pursuing the championship. If Chasing Dream Green can successfully join the Lakers, he will become the starting center of the team, working with Davis to build an invincible interior barrier. Such a combination will undoubtedly make the Lakers' interior defense even stronger, becoming a nightmare for any opponent. At the…

Recently, the NBA regular season games have been extremely competitive, with many matchups drawing widespread attention. The Rockets, riding a strong momentum of five consecutive victories, successfully entered the play-in tournament zone, while the Warriors ended their three-game losing streak. The Clippers, on the other hand, achieved a remarkable 59-point victory. Below is a detailed review of these exciting games, as well as an analysis of the latest rankings in the West. The Nuggets, without Jokic, performed poorly overall, with both offense and defense falling into a slump. In contrast, the Rockets were in high spirits, with Jalen Green in excellent form, scoring 34 points in limited playing time to help the team defeat the Nuggets 128-108. The Timberwolves started poorly at home, trailing by as many as 20 points in the first quarter. However, as the game progressed, they gradually regained their composure, with DiVincenzo and Edwards contributing from beyond the arc, once narrowing the gap. But the Warriors, relying on Curry and Wiggins' outstanding performances, eventually won 116-115 against the Timberwolves, returning their win rate to 50%. The Lakers and Heat were evenly matched at the start, but in the second quarter, the Lakers struggled to score, allowing the Heat to extend their lead.

Official Announcement! Trade and Signing Completed! Lakers Championship Team in Place, Internet Celebrity Team Does Not Disappoint Beijing time January 16th news, the league today was born a trade and a signing.‌ The Lakers officially announced that the team has signed center Trey Jamison with a two-way contract. Jamison is 25 years old and stands at 2 meters 11 centimeters tall. This season, Jamison played 16 games for the Pelicans, averaging 2.4 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. It can only be said that this "big dummy" slightly increased the thickness of the Lakers' weak interior. As an edge player, Jamison's prospects upon joining the Lakers are not promising, and there is even a possibility that he will not get any playing time. Do not forget that there are more famous centers such as Hayes, Wood, and Colloch in front of him who cannot play. The Lakers' purpose in signing him may simply be to satisfy the mentality of fans who want to strengthen the team, while also giving an explanation to James and Davis. It has already been revealed by the Lakers' team reporter that new coach Redick prefers to let Davis play the center position, and the team does not want to trade for centers like Valanciunas, Kessler, and Lowry. Therefore, it is highly likely that the Lakers will end this season with such a center rotation. The Suns and Hornets have finalized the first trade of 2025 today. The Suns traded for Richards from the Hornets, sending forward Okogie, and also received a second-round pick, while the…

The Los Angeles Lakers, currently ranked sixth in the West and striving to secure their playoff spot, are still seeking trades despite acquiring Smith. Notably, the Atlanta Hawks, also a mid-tier team in the East, are planning to establish young players as the core of their team. American media has proposed a 6-player trade between the Lakers and the Hawks. Do you think it's reliable? Here are the details of the trade: The Los Angeles Lakers receive Hachimura (US17million),JaredVanderbilt(US17 million), Jared Vanderbilt (US17million),JaredVanderbilt(US10.4 million), Jalen Hood-Shephino (US3.8million),the2029first−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers),andthe2025second−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers).TheAtlantaHawksreceiveOnyekaOkongwu(US3.8 million), the 2029 first-round draft pick (Los Angeles Lakers), and the 2025 second-round draft pick (Los Angeles Lakers). The Atlanta Hawks receive Onyeka Okongwu (US3.8million),the2029first−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers),andthe2025second−rounddraftpick(LosAngelesLakers).TheAtlantaHawksreceiveOnyekaOkongwu(US14 million) and Bogdan Bogdanovic (US$17 million). If this trade is completed, two main issues in the Lakers' lineup will be resolved. Bogdanovic is an experienced shooter, while Okongwu is a reliable backup center who can meet the Lakers' need for frontcourt size and complement Anthony Davis. The Hawks can continue to restructure their lineup, integrate draft assets, and gain future salary flexibility. Okongwu is a young and malleable center, averaging 11.2 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season. He will fill the Lakers' center vacancy and likely allow Anthony Davis to return to his power forward position. With Okongwu's support as a rebounder and interior defender, Davis can maximize his impact, becoming a lurking help defender in the corner. Bogdanovic averages 10.7 points per game this season with significantly reduced playing time. This shooting specialist has a career three-point shooting rate of 38.2%, which can solve the…

The Lakers have not been performing well recently, suffering three consecutive losses to the depleted Rockets (Smith and Ison absent), Mavericks (Doncic, Irving, and Gafford absent), and Spurs (Sohan absent) with margins of 4, 21, and 24 points respectively. However, after this losing streak, they managed to bounce back with a home victory against the depleted Heat (Butler absent). In this game, the Lakers trailed by as much as 14 points but managed to turn things around in the fourth quarter, ultimately defeating the Heat by a 9-point margin. Up next for the Lakers are matchups against the Nets and Clippers. The Nets, lacking in strength and aiming for a rebuild, should not pose a significant threat to the Lakers. However, the Clippers will be a formidable opponent that could give the Lakers a headache. The Clippers have been displaying remarkable dominance, as evidenced by their recent 59-point victory over the Nets and a 29-point win over the Trail Blazers in a back-to-back game where Leonard was rested. These two victories brought their total to an 88-point win in back-to-back games, tying an NBA record. Following today's game, the Clippers will have a three-day rest before facing the Lakers. With ample rest, the Clippers can be quite formidable, especially considering their ability to play top-tier defense in the league. Despite Leonard missing a significant number of games this season, the Clippers still managed to rank third in defensive efficiency. It is worth noting that since Leonard's return, the Clippers have played six games, during which they achieved the highest defensive…

The general manager of the Lakers, Pelinka, has once again demonstrated his decisiveness and foresight in the trade operations this season. His carefully planned second trade scheme was recently exposed, attracting widespread attention within the league. It is reported that the Lakers plan to send Vincent, Vanderbilt, and a valuable first-round draft pick from the team to the Bulls in exchange for the powerful center Vučević. This trade will undoubtedly inject a strong shot into the Lakers' interior strength, filling fans with expectations for the team's future. Vučević, as the core center of the Bulls, is known throughout the league for his outstanding offensive abilities. He averages a luxurious 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, showcasing his strong dominance in the paint. What's even more remarkable is his precise three-point shooting ability, with a hit rate as high as 44%, a figure that even surpasses that of the Warriors' superstar Stephen Curry, demonstrating his versatility on the offensive end. The arrival of Vučević will undoubtedly become the best partner for Anthony Davis, also known as "Mei Mei," and their cooperation in the paint will be extremely threatening. At the same time, Vučević's three-point shooting ability will create more space for James' breakthroughs, making the Lakers' offensive system more three-dimensional and varied. James has shown great excitement about this trade. He believes that Vučević's joining will greatly enhance the overall strength of the Lakers, giving them the opportunity to make a run at the championship. Although Vučević has certain shortcomings in defense, especially in terms of lateral movement speed when…

D'Angelo Russell is a player that Lakers fans should be very familiar with. Since he was drafted by the team during the Kobe era, and then returning to the Lakers for a second time, D'Angelo Russell has always been a player with a lot of topics. This season, due to the conflict between him and the Lakers, he was ultimately traded back to the Nets. After arriving at the Nets this time, D'Angelo Russell also dared to speak out. In the current program blog, D'Angelo Russell also talked about some things about his time with the Lakers. He said, "I really like Westbrook. I hope that in the future, Westbrook will be able to participate in my show, but that may have to wait until after his retirement. I look forward to him sharing some of his experiences when he was playing big ball. I want to hear what he has to say. He is one of the veterans in the league, and everyone speaks highly of him, everyone loves him." Here, D'Angelo Russell's remarks can be considered quite bold. Everyone knows about Westbrook's experience with the Lakers, which is similar to D'Angelo Russell's own experience with the Lakers, as they both played big ball next to James. They needed to become the so-called "ball-less point guard" that fans jokingly refer to, which made them both quite uncomfortable. Especially when the Lakers' record was not good, D'Angelo Russell and Westbrook were both players who had to take the blame. This naturally put a lot of pressure on the two players,…
