Warriors fans are having fun with the team's heavy contract extensions for Poole and Wiggins, preserving the championship roster, while

The Lakers are still struggling with whether Wiggins, who costs $47 million to play on the bench, can bring wins to the team?

The Lakers' off season operations are a complete step down from the management of other teams. Other teams management do any deal, do not eat too much loss, often a win-win situation. Not to mention the Warriors, the Erse, not only traded to Harden, and Tucker, House are considered a gift, if not the Rockets have no intention of trading Gordon, Gordon are early to the Erse, the team's determination to compete for the title are carved in the face.

On the contrary, the Lakers, the operation is a mystery. Letting go of Caruso, ten million contract extension Tucker, but where a championship team, most of the mid-production exceptions choose to sign low salary high energy players, and the Lakers do not hesitate to 10 million to rookie newcomers, from the management side, it seems to have given up on the championship.

James also seems to see management's intentions, but the older James no longer has much capital, he can't stop management's moves. It was evident from last season.

Last season the Lakers, the first half of the attitude is really running for the title, James is also in full defense, but with the injury of the thick eyebrows, the Lakers poor record, James's attitude has also changed.

From last season near the trade deadline, not much care about defense, not only is the defense not active, the offense also shows a scattered state. Trade rumors were flying at that time, but by the trade deadline, the Lakers had made no moves. The inconsistency between Permalink's watch, the conflict between players and management, the conflict between the coaching staff and management, these are all unsettling factors, so James' attitude changed again. There is no fighting spirit at all, and from the court action, one can see the disappointment with the status quo.

With the end of last season, the Lakers first found the vent of all the conflicts, they first cut head coach Vowel, and after a careful selection, selected the championship assistant coach Ham. With his full confidence, it seemed to give hope again. But the preseason once again brought Lakers fans to the bottom of the barrel. They exposed 5 things wrong.

1, their tactics are too single, currently on 2 main tactics, one is James with the ball to attack, the other is a variety of passing, and then almost to the time, the ball in the hands of whoever defends to throw one.

2, now James is not the peak, it is impossible to keep the state, so in the case of James can not play the situation, the Lakers tactics appear to be a bit confusing, resulting in players do not focus, and very unfocused, take the classic Willow smack Davis face that time, obviously a good blocking, should have been down to receive Willow pass, the results of Davis blocked after the demolition, directly bored away, Willow's The pass can only smash into the face.

3, the Lakers' team training should be a problem, presented in the game is, sometimes for the sake of passing the ball and passing. The general characteristics of the players are slow to react half a beat, the purpose of the pass is to find a gap, the result of the gap out, are not the first shot ability.

4, the root of the problem, still lies in the Lakers role players have the ability of less, signed although more, but are not problem solvers. The Lakers are no longer the real Big Three, they can not come to drive these role players, Willow's performance even need to come to bring up. Even if Willow played on the bench, there are no good players on top, similar to Christian and Jones and so on, in the upper-middle team's starting position is also considered a negative role.

5, Willow cost-effective big contract, resulting in the Lakers have no space to fill, more sadly, Permalink spent the money on the back of a knife, the only space signed Walker and Dunn, and even brought back Schroeder, not to question their ability, just their ability is not the key to solve the Lakers' problems, can not optimize the reasonableness of the Lakers roster.

What the Lakers lack in space and defense on the wings they can't make up for, and the Lakers are desperately short of height and athleticism on the front line. It is worth mentioning that in the Lakers' last preseason game, Willis began to serve as the team's substitute, which is also seen as a precursor to Willis' long tenure as a substitute in the regular season this year. All signs indicate that Willow is not having a good time with the Lakers.

In other words Willow new season in the Lakers can play on the bench are not certain, the U.S. media NBA analysis network, suggested before the deadline to dump Willow, Willow for Harrison Barnes the front line, the deal is a three-way, the specific trade program is

The Lakers send: Willis, protected first-round picks for 2027 and 2029.

Get: Harris Barnes, Kelly Outre, Terrance Davis.

Hornets send: Huntley, Hayward.

Gained: Willis, two first-round picks of the Lakers.

Kings sent: Barnes, Davis.

Get: Hayward.

This trade can make the Lakers perfectly complementary and get players who can solve the problem.

Barnes, nicknamed the "North Carolina Eagle," is no stranger to many Warriors fans, as he helped Curry win his first championship and was one of the earliest "Deadly Five. But in the team's second championship, Barnes performance fluctuates, in the entire finals, he shot 32 shots, but only hit 5 times the three points. The team eventually lost the finals.

In order to take revenge, the Warriors invited Durant to join, for which they could only give up Barnes. But his ability is still there. , he has a very high basketball IQ player, his athleticism, strength, confrontation power, not only in the defensive end so that opponents can not be cheap, in the offensive end is always able to play mismatch advantage. Barnes plays unselfishly and has very good mobility and athleticism with immediate catch-and-shoot ability. He has the ability to fit in quickly enough to give the Lakers help.

Bright began to emerge in his third year of career, Bright has been "handsome and can play" potential, but from the Wizards to the Sun, and then to the Warriors, but there has been a feeling of standing still, but perhaps as he himself said, not everyone and Curry playing can grow.

Upright's talent is undeniable, he just lacks a suitable platform, came to the Hornets he emerged, had in 28 games, with an average of only 29 minutes of playing time, got 17 +4 data, three-point shooting rate of nearly 39%.

He came to the Lakers to play next to James, and he will surely blossom again in the unavailable Lakers team, because he is the player who is made for chaos.

Davis can also further strengthen the Lakers' bench, once scoring 35 points in a single game, which is the best illustration of his ability.

The Lakers' strength will definitely rise another level to the level of the championship, whether from the Lakers themselves, or James' achievements, the Lakers have no need to skimp on the 2 first rounds, compared to the championship, the two first rounds will seem insignificant. Let's wait and see what the Lakers choose.
