Live broadcast, February 7th news reporter Windhorst talked about his views on whether the Lakers should trade with the Prestige in today’s First Take Program.
“Now the deal is definitely possible, but it has little effect to make up for it, which probably improves their chances of entering the playoffs or the second round by 5%-10%, they may even waste the opportunity this summer because the story of the Lakers and Owen is not over yet.
“They have no salary space now, but they can leave Wei Shao and break up with him in summer. In the interview, LeBlanc said that he was disappointed that he failed to get Owen, so my question now is how the Lakers will choose to lock the salary space with Wei Shao for other players, still wait until summer to operate.” Windhorst said.
But it is worth mentioning that even if Wei Shao leaves the Lakers this summer, the Lakers will only have a salary of $34 million-36 million, and there will be a large number of people in the Lakers who need to renew their contracts.
