Lakers news: Wiggins has no hope of joining, 5-for-1 plan is released, George praises Doncic

On September 12, the Los Angeles Lakers had three updates. Fans who care about the Lakers should not miss it.

Wigkins has no hope of joining

Yesterday, according to Lakers' team reporter Dan Woike, the Lakers' position on future development has changed as Luka Doncic and the Lakers reach a contract renewal. Woike said that the Lakers no longer refuse to accept players for long contracts to ensure the flexibility of their 27-year salary space, but are willing to actively upgrade their lineup and win in the present, among which Heat forward Wiggins is the Lakers' favorite. As soon as this news came out, Lakers fans were ecstatic. On the one hand, Wiggins is one of the few forwards in the league with excellent offense and defense, and he can effectively share the pressure from James and Doncic; on the other hand, Wiggins has valuable experience in winning the championship and knows how to prepare and play a role in the playoffs.

However, today I poured a full pot of cold water. According to Heat's reporter Wes Goldberg, the Heat did not have the idea of ​​selling Wiggins. After sending off Highsmith, the forward position rotation was a bit tight, and the Heat were full of expectations for Wiggins' performance in the new season. At the same time, Goldberg said that the Heat are not interested in the chips the Lakers can provide, and the Lakers are not willing to use their first-round picks in 31 or 32 years to trade Wiggins. Obviously, judging from the current situation, unless the Lakers can find an attractive third-party team, the possibility of getting Wiggins is slim. After all, Heat CEO Pat Riley is famously calculating and it is a bit of a dream to get a bargain on him.

5-for-1 plan was released

Previously, according to reports from many media reporters, the Lakers have restarted their reinforcement plans and will seek various opportunities to enhance the team's competitiveness. Today, US media suggested that the Lakers can pursue Trail Blazers defender Ju Holiday, and gave a 5-for-1 plan, specifically: the Lakers will make Kneckett, Vanderbilt, Vincent, Kleber and the 1st round pick in 2011 (top ten picks to protect) Holiday. Holiday, 35, played 62 games for the Celtics last season, averaging 30.6 minutes per game to score 11.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.1 steals. Holiday was traded by the Celtics to the Trail Blazers this summer.

For the Lakers, although Holiday's condition has shown a significant downward trend as he grows older and suffers more injuries than in previous years, he can still make many positive contributions during his limited playing time. On the offensive end, Holiday can open up space, play without the ball, and has a certain hard-solving ability and support skills, which can enrich the Lakers' offensive tactics; on the defensive end, Holiday can defend from No. 1 to No. 4 with his experienced experience and excellent judgment. His partnering with Doncic in the backcourt can greatly improve the Lakers' fault tolerance rate and overall defense reliability; most importantly, Holiday is a player in big scenes, and the more he can perform coldly at critical moments, which will help the Lakers win more anxious games.

For the Trail Blazers, the team is in the reconstruction stage, and veteran Holiday is bound to be no longer within the team's future development plan. Sending off early is a suitable choice. Vincent, Vanderbilt and Kleber are role players with their own characteristics. They can reflect their value in rotation. The contracts between Kleber and Vincent will expire next summer, and the Trail Blazers can free up 2,200,000 US dollars; Knector is a young man with a bright future. As long as he is patient, he will partner with Sharp, Hansen Yang, Henderson, Kleber and others for a long time. Overall, this is a transaction that each person needs, let’s see if it can change from the plan to reality.

George praised Doncic for playing a brave role in this year's Men's Basketball European Championship. Although he unfortunately stopped in the quarterfinals, Doncic averaged 34.7 points, 7.1 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 2.7 steals per game, among which scores, steals and efficiency values ​​are all top of the tournament, ranking second in assists. Today, 76ers forward Paul George praised Doncic on his podcast program. George said: "I am a super fan of Luca. His game style is very mature, it is a trouble for all defenders, and he is also a master of trash talk. I think Doncic has the opportunity to surpass Olajuwon, Tony Parker, and Dirk Legend in the future to become the greatest international player in history. He can really do this."

The views expressed by George quickly sparked heated discussions among domestic and foreign basketball forum fans. Some people said, "George is really talking nonsense for traffic now. Doncic has no championship or MVP, and is obviously strong in offense and weak in defense. Not to mention becoming the greatest international player, even the active Antetokounmpo and Jokic are completely incomparable." Some people said, "The Wizards Doncic are only 26 years old and are far from reaching the peak of their careers. The successful weight loss this summer shows that he has enough perseverance and perseverance. Doncic's upper limit is immeasurable. It is possible to compete for the greatest international player in history in the future." So what do you think about this? You can communicate and discuss rationally with each other.
