Lakers news: Antetokounmpo supports James, 5-for-1 plan is released, and Ball is expected to return

Antescoundrel support James, James' podcast program "Brain of the Field" was broadcast yesterday, and together they participated in the recording of celebrities Steve Nash and James' teammate Doncic. During this period, when talking about how to view the outside world's lack of skills, James said: "Whenever I browse social media, I always see those remarks that I don't have skills. I think it's strange because I scored more than 50 billion points." So far, James has scored a total of 50,473 points in his career (42,184 points in the regular season, 8,289 points in the playoffs), and all three statistics are ranked first in history.

Today, the Bucks star and Greek monster Antetokounmpo updated social media to support Big Brother James. Antetokounmpo wrote: "No one really believes that one of the greatest players on earth have no skills... God, I have seen everything 🤦🏽‍♂️." You should know that Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in active service and even in history, and he rarely praises a player like this in public. This is enough to prove that Antetokounmpo admires James from the bottom of his heart. Admittedly, some of James' technical moves may not be beautiful, but his skills are really unquestionable. From breakthroughs to dribbling and shooting, there is nothing James is not proficient in. It is just that he has turned gorgeous into the simplicity of the way, which is also an important reason why he can sit on the throne of the historical scoring king.

5-for-1 plan is released

Today, according to famous reporter Brett Siegel, there is no non-selling item at present. If the chips are suitable, including Markkanin and Kessler will be traded. Later, according to follow-up report by Lakers reporter Daniel Starkand, the Lakers will definitely quote Kessler, and believe that the Lakers can use the plan of quoting Mawei last year and the first round of 27 years to inquire Kessler. In February this year, the Lakers and Hornets almost reached a deal of "Kneckett + Reddish + 31-year unprotected first round + 30-year first round swap rights to get Mark Williams", but because the Lakers were worried about Ma Wei's injury risks, they determined that they failed the physical examination and the transaction failed. This season's regular season, Kessler played 58 games, averaging 30 minutes per game to score 11.1 points, 12.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.4 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 66.3%.

For the Jazz, this is a very sincere offer. Knector is a high-quality shooter with both potential and combat power. He has mature skills and poor experience. As long as he is trained in place, he will become an important core for the Jazz for a long time in the future. Reddish is a striker who is good at defending, which happens to be what the Jazz currently lacks in the lineup. There is no need to say much about the two first-round picks and one first-round swap rights. It is good whether it is used by yourself or used for bundling transactions. It is also the asset that the Jazz is most valued in the rotation period.

For the Lakers, although this deal has paid a considerable price, it is still worth the reward compared to the results. Kessler is currently one of the best blue-collar centers in the league. On the offensive end, Kessler can pick-and-roll and go down and has also developed a certain low-post singles ability. He can enrich the Lakers' offensive tactics; on the defensive end, Kessler has strong ability to protect the frame, and the no-fly zone controlled by him is a nightmare for many offensive players, which is also urgently needed by the Lakers; most importantly, Kessler is very young, and his future can effectively overlap with Doncic and become the core of the Lakers' inside line.

Baul is expected to return

Today, according to the Lakers reporter Jovan Buha of the US media "The Athletic", the Lakers are interested in old player Ronzo Ball. If Ball asks for a low price, the two sides may re-cooperate. Ball was selected by the Lakers as the second pick in the first round in 2017. After playing for two seasons, he was traded to the Pelicans as a bargaining chip. This season's regular season, Ball played 35 games, averaging 22.2 minutes per game to score 7.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals, with three shooting percentages of 36.6%, 34.4% and 81.5%.

For the Lakers, if Ball is willing to accept the mini middle class or even the basic salary, it is really worth it. Ball's advantage is that he has ball control, organized, defensive and three-pointers, and does not occupy the ball rights. It is very suitable to match a backcourt core like Doncic; the disadvantage is that his offensive ability and finishing ability are slightly poor, and his body is relatively brittle. As long as Ball's playing time can be reasonably controlled and his attendance rate is maintained, it will definitely be an improvement compared to Vincent, Milton and others. What is the follow-up is worth looking forward to.
