Old irons, this inconspicuous trade between the Hawks and the Pelicans today really made the Lakers management drink a pot. Murray's "fat duck" just flew away from under his nose, leaving Pelinka staring there. Tsk, that's interesting!
You look at this deal, the Pelicans made a big move, two first-round picks and two role players, and they included Murray, a quasi-All-Star. What about the Lakers? It's like a fool, holding Reeves and not letting go, watching the pelican eat the meat. Isn't this a typical "guarding the gold mountain and begging for food"?
In the end, the Lakers are too "smart". I set my sights on Murray a year ago, but I just refused to do it, and I wondered all day if it could be cheaper. The result? While you were thinking about it, the Pelicans rushed up and took Murray away. It's good now, the Lakers have no place to cry if they want to.
The Lakers' draft strategy is also excellent. In order to find a "successor" for Emperor Zhan, he painstakingly chose a brownie. But the problem is, the Pelicans have negotiated Murray with your draft skills. Isn't this a typical "picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon"?
Look at the Eagles again, the vision of this team is called a "vicious"! Luca? No! Trae Young? A must! Now I have chosen a Risa Xie again, maybe it's a parallel commodity again. I'm anxious for the Hawks fans, how long are I going to pit myself?
But then again, the Lakers are really unlucky this time. Murray, a tall guard who integrates offense and defense, is not a sweet spot on which team? Now it's okay, not only did I not catch it, but I also cheapened my opponent. This tastes sour!
If you look at Murray's stats, last season's scores, assists, and steals were all excellent, tied with Jokic for the first place in the league. Isn't this kind of all-around player exactly what the Lakers dream of? It's a pity, it's a pity, now I can only watch the pelican happily take it away.
For new coach Redick, this is a headache. originally expected to be able to get a good ball handler and share the pressure on Lao Zhan. Now that Murray is gone, he can only continue to let James be a "one-armed hero". Tsk, before the start of this new season, the Lakers have already lost at the starting line.
Look at the operation of other teams, that is called a wise! The Mavericks sent Haddawi Jr. away in order to adjust the lineup. The Knicks traded a lot of money for Bridges in order to shock the championship. Look at our Lakers again, what else can we do besides watching others pick up cheap?
Old irons, tell me, did the Lakers lose a lot of money this time? If you want me to say, Pelinka, the general manager, is it time to consider retiring? This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity can be missed, and you can expect him to lead the Lakers back to glory? Dream on!
So in the end, I want to ask: If you are Lakers owner Jenny Buss and see Pelinka do this, would you want to change the general manager? What do you think about this?
