No matter how worried James is, the Cavaliers still have a crushing advantage when facing the Celtics.
Especially when the players of the Celtics have exploded and there is no more excitement for support, the superstars of the Cavaliers have played more and more handy.
Therefore, the Cavaliers finally won the most important victory at the home court of the Celtics. With a total score of 4:2, they eliminated their opponents and advanced to the finals.
The day of the finals is therefore set on June 1, which is three days later.
The finals is less than half a month away, and after that is the first part of the new season that everyone is most looking forward to-the draft.
The 2017-2018 draft was also at the end of June this year, and the right to draw the draft has now come out.
This means that after the finals, everyone has half a month to choose and negotiate.
Of course, only the two teams in the finals are mentioned here. The rest of the teams that have already decided on their own signings have already started their new season draft work.
So they have launched an active public relations work for a group of outstanding players who announced the draft this year.
The NBA draft has always been a big show.
All NBA conspiracies, tactics, and tactics are almost condensed in this draft activity.
In order to get the best players, the team management racked their brains and tried every means to get their wish.
There is also a lot of gambling in this, if you bet right, it is naturally a big deal.
If the bet is lost, even if it is the No. 1 overall pick, it can give you some money.
For example, Kwame Brown, appointed by Joe's boss, is a typical example.
In addition, there is also the 2007 No. 1 pick Greg Oden, the super talented player who is known as another NBA champion after the little emperor James. As a result, due to major injuries, he only played three intermittently. The season was forced to withdraw from the NBA.
If he is not injured, he must be part of the current NBA super giants.
But good luck is so tricky.
It was also after the Great Oden that the NBA teams had a more careful examination of players' physical data, injury tendency, etc.
This can be said to be an improvement.
The Lakers have been looking for players they like.
But according to their results last year and this year, among the draft players, none of them are the champions!
Even teams that have entered the playoffs do not have draft picks within the lottery zone!
Basically, if their names appear, they are obtained through exchange.
There are only three ways to get good players.
The first is to change the good players in the team, such as the second place in 2015 Lang Dan Gino Russell, the second place in 2016 Lang Ingram, these two players are now rising very fast in the NBA.
Especially rookie Ingram.
In order to match Shen Huan's style of play, he was directly used as the main power forward.
Although he doesn't need to charge into the battle and defeat the opponent for the team's victory, which team is weak in the playoffs?
Among the Lakers' starting players, Ingram is the weakest link.
The three guards are Shen Huan, Kobe and Iverson, the center is Howard, and all four of them are all superstars who will enter the Basketball Hall of Fame in the future.
Compared with them, Ingram is simply inferior to the **** shell man on the ground.
Therefore, the three opponents in the playoffs grabbed Ingram and beat him hard, and played him defensively.
On the offensive end of the Lakers, he also gets the most fouls.
People didn't dare to provoke Shen Huan, but when he was angry, couldn't he vent it?
Ingram is the best vent.
Had it not been for his young physical strength and Shen Huan's presence, no one would dare to deal with him fiercely, he would have been sent to the hospital long ago.
But even so, Ingram clenched his teeth and persevered, averaging more than 10 points per game, and still has 3 rebounds and 5 assists.
This kind of data looks down at first, but for a big game like the playoffs, it's pretty good.
So now there is a team to contact the Lakers, ready to use their first-round pick for Ingram.
Ok.
This team is actually the Brooklyn Nets.
They have played a super poor record of 20 wins and 62 losses this season, ranking first in the league.
They have already got a third-placed good pick this year, plus another protected first-round 22nd pick and a second-round 22 pick that they already had. A total of three places to exchange for Ingram, sincerity is still enough. .
But the Lakers weren't interested in this trade, so they refused.
If Shen Huan is still there, it's really too simple. The Lakers can trade any player they want, as long as they find a better seed.
Even if Miaozi was unsatisfactory and finally abolished, it didn't matter.
Shen Huan is the biggest pillar of the Lakers. With him, there is no problem.
But the problem is that Shen Huan will no longer be able to play in the NBA after this season.
Since Shen Huan is no longer in the Lakers, then Ingram, a player who has already been trained, will be at least a second-rate player in the future, and he must have his place in the Lakers.
Don't forget, Iverson will retire in one year, and Kobe will retire in another year.
If at that time, Dangino Russell and Ingram, under the leadership of Howard, could take on the important task of reviving the Lakers.
Even if they can't be superstars, it's okay for the Lakers to spend money to trade another superstar.
So Ingram cannot be sold.
The same goes for Dangino Russell.
Regardless of this season’s playoffs, Dangino Russell’s data is not as conspicuous as Ingram, but his data in the regular season is better than Ingram. He averaged points when assisting Shen Huan in the second lineup. It also exceeded 10 points, and the assists and steals were equally good.
Speak from the heart.
Don't look at the Lakers playing well in the past two seasons, but they are empty hearted.
Once Shen Huan leaves Once the two veterans have retired, the most reliable team is actually Howard.
Howard is still a superstar who has undergone an overhaul, and it may not work at any time.
Therefore, finding a superstar like Westbrook, James Harden, Durant, or even LeBron James to the Lakers has always been the Lakers’ dream.
This is certainly impossible for now.
The Lakers without Shen Huan, Kobe and Iverson, without the slightest momentum to compete for the championship, certainly can't attract these superstars who are fighting for the championship.
Then, all that remains is to dig the seedlings.
If you can dig one or two good seedlings similar to Danjinor Russell and Ingram, then the Lakers would rather be quiet for a year or two.
Once the Youth Guards are successfully built, the Lakers' rejuvenation is just around the corner!
