The Lakers' recruitment target was determined, James played a key role, and the thick eyebrows took off completely
"If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight", the Lakers' state has always been up and down this season, with their current state, they are still a distance from the championship, but the Lakers' goal is the championship, so they must find a way to change the status quo, it should be impossible to change the status quo through self-adjustment, and only through trading reinforcements can the situation be completely reversed.
According to the latest report from Lakers reporter Trevor Lane, "The Lakers have always been obsessed with reinforcements, and they want to get reinforcements before the trade deadline, after their targets have been hovering around LaVine and Murray, but the Warriors management's trade attitude has given the Lakers a new option, according to relevant sources within the team, under James's strong recommendation, the Lakers management has identified the reinforcement target as the Warriors' Chris Paul, and they believe that the chemistry between James and Paul can turn the tide." ”
Compared with LaVine and Murray, what Paul lacks is vitality, Paul is getting older, and he is still a little lacking in physical strength, but the advantage is to be able to better connect the team, the current Lakers do lack a real point guard, if you don't need too many chips, the introduction of Paul is indeed a good choice, Paul can lead the second team to score after James and thick eyebrows go off the court, and learn from the chemistry between Rondo and the Lakers in 20 years, Paul's joining will also contribute to the same effect.
The Four Heroes refer to James, Anthony, Wade, and Paul, of which James cooperated with Wade in the Heat period, and Anthony in the Lakers period, except for James, a total of four, James has worked with three of them, and now if Paul joins, then James will create an achievement again, and the rest of the group has cooperated, which is indeed unprecedented.
For James, he does need someone to share the team's burden, although Russell has a good ability to lead the team, but it is not stable enough, and the assist success rate is not high, which is really a headache, and Paul's joining can indeed change the team's predicament, the Lakers now want to get Paul, James can be said to have played a key role, for Paul's personal ability, James can be said to have a deep understanding, so James will facilitate the completion of this deal and ask the Lakers to trade to get Paul.
Paul's assist ability is undoubted, if he comes to the Lakers, then the thick eyebrows have really taken off, the cooperation between the point guard and the center is the team's offensive characteristics, throughout Paul's career, his cooperation with the center is very good, such as Jordan Jr. during the Clippers period and Ayton during the Suns period, and then to Looney during the Warriors period, and in terms of personal ability, the thick eyebrows are even above them, and the athleticism of the thick eyebrows is also excellent, I believe that his cooperation with Paul will become the team's main offensive scoring point.
So far, James and thick eyebrows' blocking and dismantling are the offensive characteristics of the Lakers, and Paul will also continue this style of play, Paul can use the thick eyebrows' blocking and dismantling to complete the mid-range finish by himself, or attract the defense to send an empty catch for the thick eyebrows, these will become Paul's regular style of play after joining the Lakers, let's look forward to Paul's arrival.
