Everyone has a type, Lakers There is no difference. While some consider the ideal type of point guard to be placed around LeBron James is the shooter, the Lakers place non-shooters around him, especially in the position of the point guard. I’m obsessed with.
From Rajon Rondo to Dennis Schröder and more recently to Russell Westbrook, the Lakers, perhaps at the blessing of James, chose non-shooters to go with Lebron. Given how bad Westbrook was this season, the Lakers may consider another approach.
No!
To be fair, obviously nothing has been decided, but one of the latest rumors is linking them to another non-shooting point guard. Houston Rockets Protect John Wall. It will only be a Lakers option if the Lakers are acquired. Longtime NBA Reporter Markstein..
Interest in the wall from the Clippers and Heat has been mentioned for months if he can eventually enter the open market. Similarly, the Lakers are reluctant to trade Russell Westbrook to Houston and, by adding draft capital as a rocket sweetener, consider Wall a candidate for roster if it suddenly becomes available in the buyout market. I was advised that it would be.
The The Lakers were closely associated with Wall before and after the trading deadline In a deal that would include Westbrook. It was a matter of exchanging high-priced, low-performing players.Hang up has occurred Relevant compensation plan And that Other players associated with the transactionAs a result, the transaction is not completed or ends very seriously.
The last match of Wall was played on April 23, 2021. Since then, he has been left to the bystanders in the hope of finding a newer situation than the reconstruction of the rocket. And if his absence wasn’t long enough, Wall also had the problem of many injuries that set him aside for a long time in Washington. Since December 26, 2018, Wall has played only 40 NBA games.
The Lakers, to say the least, would be at great risk of bringing the wall to something other than a veteran’s minimal signature. Still, the Lakers need a lot from the veteran’s minimal signature, making it difficult to rationalize using one of those spots on the wall.
And what if Russell Westbrook is still on the roster? I feel like a beginner. Having two point guards other than shooting feels like an aggressive sabotage in 2022.
The Lakers’ interest in the Wall can depend on many things, whether from the edge of the wall or from the Lakers. It’s a pairing that has a lot of questions and concerns and certainly feels far from ideal.
