So far this season, the Lakers still seem to be the best team in the league, but they may not stop to strengthen the team. Pelinka has also been looking for ways to make the Lakers better. They still It is possible to obtain talented and experienced players through the trade before the trade deadline to pursue the second consecutive hegemony.
Therefore, the American media nbaanalusis columnist Brett Siegel provided the Lakers with three sets of trading plans through analysis, and these three sets of plans are targeted at Derrick Rose of the Pistons.
After experiencing a series of terrible knee injuries, Rose has always used smart play to keep himself at a high level, and the Gray Wolves and Pistons have also given Rose enough trust and opportunities to play in the past two. In the past season, Rose played 101 games in the Gray Wolves and Pistons games, averaging 18.1 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5 assists per game. Although he has not reached the level of the MVP of the Bulls period, his performance is still better than most. The league’s starting backcourt players, and the rich experience of the game and the ability to handle the ball at critical moments will also be the biggest boost for the Lakers to win the championship.
The three sets of plans are: the Lakers send Caldwell-Pope+Caruso+ the second-round pick of 2024 to get Derrick Rose from the Pistons, and the Lakers send out Talen Horton-Tucker+Markieff Morris+the first-round protected top ten picks of 2025 to get Derrick. Rose and the Lakers sent Kuzma+Caruso+Dudley+2023 second-round picks to the Pistons’ Rose+McGruder+2024 first-round picks.
Among them, the amazing potential shown by Talen Horton-Tucker in the preseason will definitely attract the attention of the Pistons. In the four preseason games, Talen Horton-Tucker averaged 20.5 points, 6.5 boards and 3.0 assists per game. He also has a 54.7% shooting rate and 53.8% three-point shooting rate. Once known as the strongest rookie, Talen Horton-Tucker has unlimited potential for future development. If the Lakers are willing to add Talen Horton-Tucker to the deal, the Pistons will certainly not hesitate to promote the deal. After all, there is no team. I don’t want to have potential new stars like Talen Horton-Tucker.
Although the Lakers are unwilling to let Talen Horton-Tucker go, if they can get Rose, they may change their minds. After all, the talented Lakers did not include Talen Horton-Tucker in the team’s plan this season.
