Lakers news: James has made suggestions, top 3D is expected to join, old players are looking down on the East and the Zhan combination

Jack James made suggestions

As we all know, the NBA's playoffs and regular seasons are completely different sports. Because the regular season physical contact is severe and the teams will not be very strong, many stars can play very beautiful data. However, in the playoffs, 16 teams began to give it a try in order to compete for the championship. The physical contact and melee fighting level were more than one level more intense than the regular season. In order to ensure the smoothness of the game, the referees encouraged players to engage in a large number of confrontations, which also made it difficult for some stars to adapt. While the data declined, the team also struggled. Today, Lakers star James expressed his views and revisions on this matter in the latest episode of his podcast "Mind The Game".

James said: "I think it is very feasible to gradually introduce the call standards for the playoffs after the All-Star holiday. The regular season call standards can be maintained at the beginning of the season, and then the intensity of the game is improved with about 20 games left." The author believes that James' view makes sense, which not only allows players to better adapt to the intensity of the playoffs, so as to ensure that they can also play at the level they deserve in the playoffs. At the same time, this measure can also ensure the viewing and intensity of the competition, so that there will be no many unilateral games. Of course, the league needs to introduce a new rule to a comprehensive review, so even James, who enjoys a high reputation in the NBA, may find it difficult to promote the league to change in a short period of time.

Top 3D is expected to join

Today, according to famous reporter Kevin O'Connor, sources revealed that the Pelicans are evaluating the market value of all players in the team. If the chips are right, no player cannot be traded. Later, American bookmakers released the odds list of Pelicans forward Herbert Jones left the team, and the results showed that the Lakers ranked second, with specific rankings: Mavericks +350 (buy 100 and earn 450 with principal and profit), Lakers +500, Spurs +550, Rockets +700, Nuggets +900. Jones, 26, has played in the NBA for four seasons, playing in 240 regular season games, averaging 30 minutes per game, scoring 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks, with three shooting percentages of 47.7%, 36.6% and 82.4%, making him one of the top 3Ds in the league. Currently, Jones has $2,800,000 left in the last two years of contract.

Compared with other teams, the Lakers have two advantages in introducing Jones, namely: 1. The Lakers can provide Xiao Li, who has a high ball quotient, comprehensive technology and the best cost-effectiveness in the league as a trading chip, which is difficult to fail to work for the Pelicans management; 2. The Lakers and the Pelicans have made many transactions in the past few years, especially when Davis was replaced, which gave enough sincerity, and the possibility of the Pelicans repaying this time is not ruled out. Once the Lakers can get Jones, the team's shortcomings in the lack of high-quality defenders on the outside will be solved. What is the follow-up is worth looking forward to.

Old players saw the decline of the East and West James combination

Today, Lakers former player Danny Green talked about the current situation of his old club, the Lakers, and believed that the Lakers' East and West James combination did not work. Green said: "I am not optimistic about the combination of James and Doncic. Although both of them are very destructive on the offensive end, there are huge problems on the defensive end. And James is already in his 40s, so it is inevitable to decline. I think there is no hope of winning the championship with the current team building model of the Lakers."

The statement about Green quickly aroused heated discussion among netizens. Some people said: "Indeed, both of them focus on offense and defense. The tolerance rate in the playoffs is too low. Not to mention competing for the championship, it is likely to be the first round again like this year." Some people said: "The playoffs are all about the quality of the players. James and Doncic have proved their superstars. As long as the Lakers solve the problem of shortage of people in the inside, they should not be underestimated." So what do you think about this?
