The Lakers sent out Nunn, the Bull’s second round signing in 2023, the second round signing in 2028 (the one with worse rank between the Lakers and the Wizards), and the Lakers’s second round signing in 2029, getting the eight villages from the Wizards.
The deal officially opened the curtain of the mid-season trading drama of the 22-23 season, stirring the hearts of the fans waiting to strengthen the team. When the management of our own company will start, it will become the biggest curiosity to brush the mobile phone before falling asleep every day.
When it comes to eight villages, there has always been no such two doubts:
Defensive aggressive data. In the first three seasons of the career of the eight villages, only 24 caps were sent out. For a 2.03-meter high forward, this figure is a bit strange. His number of steals is also very common, and the break rate is very low among players in the same position. Although the broken data is not equivalent to the defensive effect, it is also a side portrayal;
The positioning of the offensive end is awkward. The main attack method that the eight villages are good at is the middle distance. Both of his hands have the technology of emergency stop and dry pull, and the low hand has the technology of turning over and leaning back. He can withdraw from the left foot and throw in the middle, and the efficiency of long two points is good. The end efficiency of his basket is above the level line, but the output is average and there are not many free throws. In addition, the eight villages have no strong points on the offensive side. He has no value of transmission and control. As an option to punish dislocation occasionally, he cannot mention too important positions. Only the eight villages cast a hit rate of 44.7 percent under a small sample last season, and the suspected range expansion did not continue. This season, 4.4 three-point shots were made every 36 minutes, and the hit rate was 33.7 percent. In line with the career history, it all shows that the eight villages are a low-yield and inefficient third hand.
These two common eight villages question, in fact, it depicts a classic “four unlike” attack line model. You don’t know how to locate such players on the team planning table. If we look forward to the eight villages according to the core standards of players, unless in low-level games, he does not have the ability to digest a lot of ball rights in each game. During the rookie contract period, it can still be explained as “growing”. The rookie contract is about to expire. The 24-year-old eight villages did not show enough core potential to the stars, then there will only be fewer training opportunities in this direction in the future.
According to the standard of jigsaw players, he hardly added some points to this talent tree. The three points are not effective, and there is no flexibility to defend the players in the back court. There are only some front court counterpoint values, and there is no defensive value. It is far from the standard 3D attack line puzzle.
It can be said that how to locate the eight villages is not good enough. As a decent young man who is about to expire, there is usually a moderate premium expectation. Combined with the needs of the team’s priority to renew Kuzma, these can explain why the Wizard gave up him.
However, the above questions are mainly from the perspective of wizards. After all, the Lakers have different situations. It is not difficult for the wizards to persuade themselves to give up this season and make plans for the renewal of important forecourt player and next season. Obviously, the lakers still have more ideas.
Since January, the Lakers have 7 wins and 4 losses. Currently, 22 wins and 25 losses are ranked 12th in the West, but the fifth Lone Ranger in the West has only 25 wins and 23 losses. The gap is very small, and the threshold for the West this year is not high, it’s hard for the Lakers to look at the future now. Waiting for heavy eyebrows to return, do a wave of reinforcement, after all-star, get a place in the middle of the playoff. This goal was not believed a month ago, and now it is really hard to say.
Therefore, the key point is not how many shortcomings the eight villages have and how difficult it is to locate, but the three questions:
Question 1: Can eight villages bring combat capability help to the Lakers?
Yes.
Naen and eight villages are players of different types but similar nature, and positioning is difficult. The best version of Nunn is roughly worthy of this evaluation, “there are some space points for holding the ball that are not too bad in defense”. This position looks good, but there is a fatal flaw-naen wants to occupy a number 1 body position, while a normal team should only leave a number 1 body type player on the court, if this player cannot provide the value of the point guard and does not have the defensive ability to surpass the body shape, the compatibility will be very poor. To make matters worse, Nunn is not his best version yet. In a team that can hit the basket without space, being a high-yield and low-efficiency shooter with some development methods has very limited help.
In the case that everyone has positioning problems, for the Lakers whose defenders gather together, Ning can choose a high one, at least there is room for training, and there is potential to dig. Considering that the No. 5 position of the Lakers is a heavy eyebrow and the Conservative strategy of the Lakers when they are present this season, the lack of AIDS in the eighth village does not matter.
On the offensive side, the Lakers are a very special team:
On the one hand, the Lakers are short of shooters, and the impact of poor space on them can be reflected in many sessions. There is no doubt that the playoffs will further enlarge this defect;
On the other hand, the Lakers have achieved a top-level attack basket with poor space. Although they have been able to do this in recent years, there is still a special situation this season-their mistakes are not many. Some famous tough battles of the Lakers this season, such as the 4 mistakes in defeating the Bucks and the 2 mistakes in James’s 48-point shooting of the rockets, are all matches with almost flawless quality. The Lakers’ recent good offensive performance is also inseparable from their low error rate for many consecutive games.
Why is there such a phenomenon?
Judging from the resumes of James and weishao, they all have many personal mistakes, but they can reduce the characteristics of the team’s overall mistakes. They all digest a lot of ball rights and can drive the team’s big core play, greatly reduced the team’s offensive development process. At the same time, beside the two, the Lakers also have a bunch of puzzles with certain ball holding skills. Even if the center is mop, they can adjust the type of self-ending, this configuration feature makes the Lakers usually not “beat to death.
(In fact, the attacking efficiency of the Lakers has been basically the same as that of the Warriors, and they are all ranked in the middle reaches of the league. However, the attacking characteristics of these two teams are just the opposite, with space, projection, development and breakthrough, each has his own strengths and his own lame legs.)
What does this have to do with the eight villages?
The Lakers are not that kind of team with strict chemical reaction, and they don’t care about short space (because they are all short). Eight villages are placed in this environment, as long as he has the means to score — he has — even if he breaks the way, you can finish your own round. This team is not so particular. He will not bring much improvement to the Lakers attack, nor will he make the attack worse. However, he can take over a larger figure on the defensive end, which is a real improvement.
Question 2: how to renew the contract in eight villages?
The Lakers also have this problem that the Wizards are worried about.
For the Lakers, how to renew the eight villages depends on his performance in the second half of the season. If the performance of the eight villages is OK, there is no choice to get a young front in three rounds. But what if eight villages play badly? If you don’t renew your contract, won’t three rounds be wasted? Will the contract be renewed at a premium?
How to renew the contract with the eight villages in leave allowances must be a problem, but before we imagine the worst result, think about what the Lakers have paid?
The three rounds are not the first round. The Lakers did not use their core chips. The ability to continue trading in the future is limited. In other words, the Lakers may lose but leave the capital, no unacceptable results will appear.
But the cost of three rounds is not low. If three rounds are not changed to eight villages, who can they change?
In reality, 2 to 3 rounds are in the market, and the level of the front line that can ask for price is not high. The difference between reddish and bezli and the eight villages is just chaos and evil, neutral Evil and order evil.
There are two people, I want to observe their final trading price:
One is Jay Mike Daniels. Since he is a second-round show in the fourth grade, leave allowances will become an unlimited free agent, which will hurt his trading price. The Lakers’ chips have a chance to talk about him;
The other is Claude. His level is undoubtedly higher than that of the eight villages, and the psychological price of the sun should be the first round of protection. However, his age, status of the expired contract, unstable state and attribute B will all affect the transaction price, falling to the first round and the second round of exchange, the possibility of even multiple rounds is very high. The sun will give priority to putting Claude into an upward transaction package, so he may not be able to catch up with the Lakers now. However, there is a possibility that Claude’s trading price is lower than three rounds in the end.
Since this transaction does not involve the first round, it only uses the overflow asset Nunn with moderate contract quota, and eight villages, as the restricted free agent due, have the initiative in the hands of the Lakers. A small loss lottery is generally reasonable.
Question 3: What should I do in the future?
This may be the more influential part.
The management started the reinforcement process. Is it showing James and the fans that we are not completely flat and trying to save this season, or does it mean that the Lakers will have follow-up actions?
I began to tend to think that the probability of the Lakers doing follow-up actions has increased. The three rounds are not assets that can be ignored, and the eight villages are not necessarily players to preserve their value. Since the Lakers have taken this step, it shows that they are not completely looking at the future, confidence in this season has improved. Recent achievements, James’s state and the performance of weishao, mop and others are constantly promoting the management’s determination to operate.
More importantly, whether it is the starting salary for renewal or the occupation of Bird rights, the eight villages will eat a lot of space, and the space that the Lakers can clean up this summer will be much less, that is, the ability to strengthen from the free market has been reduced.
Free market reinforcement is generally such a principle:
If you have the ability to pay the top salary or close to the top salary, it is very important to clean up the space, because getting superstars from the free market is often the most cost-effective supplement. The embarrassment is that the lakers can only do their best to clear the top salary of about 25% salary cap for naked signing, that is, the first top salary level for ending the rookie contract, and this kind of player, once they are bonus contracts, they will definitely be matched and retained by the mother Team. What can be released is the level between value and Unworth. Therefore, it is a question mark about the significance of the Lakers to leave full space, unless there is a superstar to join in with a reduced salary. Superstars will form a tacit understanding in advance privately. Whether anyone wants to come, the Lakers should know about it now;
If only about 10 million spaces can be cleared, the meaning is limited. Because you can’t sign in naked players who are better than the full middle class;
If more than 10 million and less than 30 million spaces can be opened, the greater significance for playoff teams is to broaden the selection list so that they have the initiative when acquiring some top puzzles. For example, players like dream chasing and Kuzma in the free market do not need to be controlled by others. The advantage of this method is to save the picks. The disadvantage is that some players who can renew their contracts with bird rights need to be abandoned. The total salary that can be used will be lower than that of becoming a team in the cap and using the full middle class, the actual combat strength of the team has not been improved. Therefore, after the pioneer cleaned up the space last year, the final choice was not to rely solely on space signing, but to take a middle route. This is also the case for the Lakers.
In other words, the idea of the lakers is probably that they don’t have to wait until leave allowances to solve the problem with space. If there is a suitable candidate now, whether to do it depends only on whether the price is acceptable. There are some suitable candidates in the market, such as Boyang. What is not solved is how to get the picks.
There are many teams at crossroads whose goals are not completely determined and will continue to lean to the left or right as the season progresses. The best way for the management to strengthen their confidence and work towards a direction more conducive to the present is undoubtedly for the team to show inspiring performance and let the management see the hope of winning in the present. James and the Lakers have done this in the past more than a month. They have survived without heavy eyebrows. Of course, heavy eyebrows are to retain the hope of this season, the choice of conservative treatment is also a prerequisite for the Lakers to stick to it.
In contrast, the next door will be more tangled. Winning is equal to two tracks running smoothly in parallel without reinforcement. Losing is equal to competing for the championship, to keep the fire. Perhaps only the reason of not entering the playoffs and causing high investment losses can make the boss make up his mind. However, there is also a possibility that the investment in the next season will drop sharply and enter the future mode completely.
This chess arrangement makes you have no temper at all.
