NBA: Purple Gold Emperor

It’s been less than a month since the free market closed, and there haven’t been any major deals.

Teams like to make deals before the trade deadline, so there’s little going on right now.

Generally, blockbuster trades don’t happen until the summer offseason.

There were a lot of big fish in the free market, but now it’s just a small fix for the teams.

After consideration by Jenny Buss and Lakers management, as well as discussions with the management of various teams.

The Lakers eventually sent Ruhl Deng, Louis Williams, Mozgov and Ingram, as well as all the draft picks.

It took ten days to get Dwight Howard, Derrick Ross and Harrell.

Since the Lakers’ draft picks are more valuable, plus Ingram is a potential superstar with great talent, the trade value is also large.

So the Lakers are very strong in this trade.

In the end, I got a good chip.

Harrell is only a small role in the Rockets, and the Rockets do not value him, and directly traded him for a second-round pick.

Howard and Ross, both plagued by injuries, have plummeted in combat effectiveness, and the current trade value is very limited.

The Lakers traded them all, but also took out a lot of chips, not even an equivalent exchange, a little loss.

Because Derecrose has become a glass man, Howard is in a worrying state and his attitude to the game is not serious.

Harrell is even more unknown.

None of these three players, it seems, is worth much.

But the Lakers are willing to trade them at a huge price, at least in the eyes of the outside world, the Lakers are bloody.

The reason why the Lakers made this series of transactions is completely to impact the championship.

Some of these people are veterans and have a lot of experience.

Some are energetic and can bring a frame defense.

In the eyes of the Lakers management, it is not a loss, and Lin Ming is obviously satisfied with these transactions.

Although Ross has an extremely high risk of injury, Lin Ming has an injury recovery card in his hand, which can greatly weaken his injury attributes.

The same goes for Howard.

And Harrell, if the team can give him enough time to grow, he will also be a strong scorer and defensive ability.

After all, the players thrown out by the rocket are all boutiques.

……

In the training gym, all Lakers players are wearing training uniforms and are already in place.

Ingram and other players have left, and Ross, Howard and Harrell have all arrived.

Once upon a time, Derek Rose led some of the top three of the Heat in the playoffs.

It has won the youngest MVP in history, and it is in an extremely hot position, which is absolutely not for sale.

But then several major injuries followed, allowing Ross to slide rapidly.

The Chicago Bulls, who had always treated him as a windy city, finally ran out of patience and traded him to the Knicks.

At this time, Ross’s beard was pulling ballast, and he had a completely different painting style from the clean and tidy wind-chasing boy at the beginning, and his face was full of vicissitudes.

Howard was also plagued by injuries later in his Magic career.

In recent years, he has mixed with the Lakers, Rockets, and Hawks.

Now Howard still has an annual salary of $20 million on his contract and still has combat power.

But after the Lakers gave the Hawks a good draft pick, the Hawks, who had been determined to rebuild, ate Ruhl Deng and Mozgov in order to get strong rookie players, plus in order to clear up salary space and sign big stars, and gave Howard to the Lakers.

Ross, along with Howard and Harrell, completed medical examinations, physical examinations and trials.

Harrell is in his prime, very talented, fast, jumping, strong, but the offensive means need to be improved, and the technique is relatively rough.

These can be honed and improved over the remaining 40 games of the season.

At least in Lin Ming’s opinion, Harrell’s room for improvement is very large.

Lin Ming had the Eye of God, and he knew how useful Harrell was later.

As for Rose, he is now positioned as the backup point guard of the Lakers, that is, Russell’s backup.

But Russell himself suffers from injuries and is inconsistent.

If Rose plays hot, it could put him on top of the starting line-up.

As for Howard, he will replace the departing Randle as the starting center.

The so-called skinny camel is bigger than the horse.

Peak Howard, that is on the defensive end, single-handedly deterred the existence of the entire penalty area.

Now although the state has dropped significantly.

But rebounds, blocks, and defensive capabilities are still at the top of the league.

The offensive aspect does not need him to bear too much, with Lin Ming in it, the Lakers do not need to think more about the attack.

After training, Ross remained in the arena for additional training.

He trained very hard, but this time he added training, and he did not dare to carry out too intense projects, just shot three points and practiced shooting.

With his current physical condition, if he trains too intensely, he is likely to be overloaded and suffer another injury.

To be honest, Rose was traded to the Knicks, a team that basically doesn’t have much hope of competing for a championship, and he doesn’t have much of a heart for it.

And come to the Lakers, in such a team that may reach the Western Conference Finals, or even cross the Warriors and win the championship.

Ross’s fighting spirit was also ignited, which is why he increased his training.

“Hey! Derek, how does it feel? ”

Lin Ming walked over and said hello to Ross.

“It’s okay, my injury is still relatively stable now, but my athletic ability has decreased a little, and I can’t change direction as casually as before, and accelerate the breakthrough. But shooting is improving and can help the team a little. ”

Ross shrugged, he knew where he was.

He can only be a role player, and it is impossible to become a star anymore, especially in front of Lin Ming.

From the son of the city who swept the entire NBA, to now being a green leaf.

This huge psychological transformation process, Ross also slowly accepted.

“Don’t worry, I think your injury will slowly stabilize, trust me!”

Lin Ming patted Ross’s shoulder and smiled.

“Is it? I hope so. ”

In this regard, Ross shook his head helplessly.

Several major injuries in recent years have kept him in a state of recuperation.

His own body, like a broken machine.

Although it has been repaired, many functions are not as good as before, and he knows this better than anyone.
