The Lakers old player will win the championship this year! New NBA King Dangli: The four major stars each lead the team to compete for the championship

The NBA playoff semi-finals have been released, with the Knicks vs Pacers and Thunder vs Timberwolves, the Los Angeles Lakers stopped in the first round, but the Lakers' old players won 100% of the championship this year, and one of Hart, Caruso, Randle and Tobs must win this year's championship trophy.

In the NBA Final Four, each team has a player who once wore the Lakers jersey - Timberwolves Randle, Thunder Caruso, Knicks Hart and Pacers Thomas Bryant.

Randall and Hart were both potential players of the Lakers. In 2018, Randall left the Lakers as a free agent and signed a two-year, $18 million contract with the Pelicans; in 2019, Hart was sent to the Pelicans by the Lakers in the Big Brow trade, when Ingram and Lonzo Ball were also the bargaining chips for the Lakers to reach this deal.

Caruso started his NBA career from the Lakers, from a two-way contract player to becoming a top defensive player in the league, and won the championship with the Lakers in 2020; in 2021, Caruso was willing to renew his three-year, $30 million contract with the Lakers, but the Lakers were only willing to give him an annual salary of $7 million. In the end, Caruso left the Lakers and signed the Bulls for 4 years and $37 million. It is estimated that the Lakers management has long regretted letting Caruso go.

Thomas Bryant spent his rookie season with the Lakers, returned to the Lakers in 2022, and won the championship with the Nuggets in 2023. He is currently playing for the Pacers and serving as the team's substitute center.

There is no doubt that one of these four Lakers' old players will win the championship trophy this year.

NBA has not won the championship for two consecutive years for seven consecutive years. This year's semi-finals are the Thunder, Timberwolves, Knicks and Pacers. Among them, the Thunder (excluding the Supersonics), Timberwolves and Pacers have never won the championship so far. The last time the Knicks won the championship was 53 years ago.

This year's playoffs, Edwards led the team to eliminate the Lakers 4-1 in the first round and eliminate the Warriors 4-1 in the second round; Alexander led the team to sweep the Grizzlies 4-0 in the first round, and eliminated the Nuggets 4-3 in the second round, and Huazi and SGA met in the Western Conference Finals.

Halliburton led the team to eliminate the Bucks 4-1, and eliminated the Cavaliers in the East 4-1 in the second round; the Knicks eliminated the Pistons 4-2 in the first round, and eliminated the defending champion Celtics 4-2 in the second round, and staged a grudge duel between the Eastern Conference.

The new NBA king is in a position. Who can win the finals tickets and who can win the championship and make history? Let's wait and see.
