Los Angeles Lakers fans have been extremely disappointed this season, with many team problems abounding, Westbrook proving he is not a good fit for James and Thick Brow, and his contract seems to limit the Lakers' space for team building. At the same time, the Lakers also paid three valuable rotation players and draft picks for Westbrook, plus the loss of the big gate Caruso, they became a team with a weak heart.
Recently, the Lakers' local media believed that if the deal is less, then the only target may only be Wall. Wall and Westbrook have almost identical contracts and can't play in houston Rockets, and their physical condition has recovered well this season, and the Lakers need to explore the deal.
In fact, the deal could be disastrous. While it makes sense "on paper," it only complicates the Lakers' problems, gets worse, and doesn't far outweigh the benefits, even if they're in a bad position right now.
First of all, the current problems in Westbrook's body Wall generally has problems, including the problem of project instability, most of Wall's work is also done in the paint, to a certain extent, it will also hurt the Lakers' playing field space. The only thing that's certain is that Wall's defense against people with the ball may be better, but during the Rockets' time, his defensive efficiency has begun to decline dramatically.
On top of that, there's no chance the Rockets will ever make the same deal again, giving up Wall for Westbrook unless they pick up a first-round pick. The solution to the problem may be to strain the third and fourth teams to complete a multi-party transaction with the Rockets, each taking what they need.
Wall and Westbrook are both paid $44 million this season, and they will both get $47 million next season, and they should continue to try to solve the team's problems with Westbrook, rather than consider starting over with Wall. Wall's contract has one year left, when he will become an easy asset for the Rockets, and a large expired contract is undoubtedly a good asset for teams that need to rebuild, clearing the salary allocation and reshaping the salary space.
