Chapter 259
Bynum's contract will expire in 13 years, and there are still two years left.After the playoffs, the Lakers have two ways to deal with Bynum. In addition to trading, there is also the option of not implementing the team.

There are only a few people who can give Wu Di salary space. Gasol expires in 14 years, Kobe Bryant expires in 14 years, and Luke Walton expires in 12 years.Only these four people have the highest salaries. The others are either on rookie contracts or have very small contracts, which will not affect Wu Di at all.

It is impossible for Kobe to let go, but Gasol can be traded, but this will affect the future strength of the Lakers.Trade away Bynum, the Lakers and Pekovic.But Gasol is gone, whether the United Arab Emirates can replace Gasol is still unknown.

On the 18th, Pekovic continued to perform brilliantly, and the Thunder's insiders were all very short.In addition to Scotty's 213cm, Ibaka is 208cm, Green is 206cm, and Collison is 208cm.Look at the Lakers again, Gasol is 213cm, Pekovic is 211cm, and the United Arab Emirates is 213cm.

Regardless of facing the inside line of the Thunder, Pekovic was very tough, almost occupying the penalty area alone. No matter who came in, Pekovic pushed him out.He grabbed 11 rebounds and scored 10 points before halftime.A halftime double-double is normal for a superstar, but for a substitute like Pekovic, it is really abnormal.

What's even more surprising is that Pekovic also got 4 blocks, showing very high energy.

Pekovic became the king of the penalty area, and the Thunder could only shoot from the outside.However, the Lakers' perimeter defense can be said to be the strongest in the league. Four perimeter defensive players are enough to deal with any pattern of shooting.

Wu Di followed Durant closely, and Kobe followed Sefolosha. If it weren't for the fact that Westbrook and Green are more difficult to defend against in pick-and-rolls, the Thunder might be on the same path as the Cavaliers this year.

The better Pekovic does, the more likely it is that Bynum will leave.Bynum's character is really unpleasant. The Lakers management has long wanted to trade him, but there is no successor.When Kwame Brown was traded, the Lakers wanted to train him to be the main center.

It's a pity that Kwame Brown is really too muddy to support the wall, and the Lakers can only trade him.Later, Gasol was traded to strengthen the inside line.Therefore, the Lakers management has never had the idea of ​​letting Bynum play the leading role, and will trade him sooner or later.

Of course, it doesn't mean that Bynum has to go. If he can play a greater role than Gasol, he may be able to squeeze Gasol away.But it is estimated that this is difficult, Gasol's ability to evacuate the basket, Bynum does not have.If he wants to have the ability to evacuate the basket, he must have a mid-range shot. It is estimated that he will not be able to practice for a few years.

On the 20th, the Lakers played an away game against the Mavericks. The Mavericks have many stars this season. Although Caron Butler was injured for the season after only playing 29 games, the Mavericks still have a lot of stars.Counting, Nowitzki, Kidd, Jason Terry, Sean Marion, Tyson Chandler, these five are all long-established big-name stars, as well as small-name stars Jose Barea, Small stars like DeShawn Stevenson can only be rotated.

Facing Tyson Chandler, Pekovic performed a little bit at a disadvantage. During this period of time, he exploded a bit too much, so this game was a bit sluggish.

However, the UAE performed well in this game. As early as in the 08 Olympic Games, during the Sino-German competition, the UAE did a good job of defending Nowitzki.After Ah Lian arrived at the Lakers, he has been training defense, and today he finally saw the results.

Ah Lian is very fast, much faster than Nowitzki. Even if someone helps Nowitzki block people, Ah Lian can quickly go around and catch up with him.The only ones who can block Nowitzki are Sean Marion and Kidd. Chandler needs to grab rebounds inside. Neither Jason Terry nor Stevenson has enough strength to block the UAE. They want to be him. It will definitely be knocked over.

After UAE played, he has been following Nowitzki. He is tall enough, bounces well, and has a good wingspan. Because of his playing habits, UAE has done a good job of defending Nowitzki.

Nowitzki uses the golden rooster to be independent, which is difficult to defend, but the UAE can always interfere.

Wu Di faced Sean Marion, and Sean Marion desperately blocked Wu Di.The most threatening of the Big Three of the Lakers is Wu Di. If Wu Di cannot be guarded, it will be difficult for the Mavericks to defeat the Lakers.So whether Sean Marion can defend Wu Di has become the key to this game.

Wu Di feels very good today, he is stronger than Sean Marion.However, if Wu Di beat Sean Marion forcefully, he would consume a lot of energy, so Wu Di asked Pekovic or Gasol to block him.

Gasol and Pekovic were not on the court at the same time except for the first quarter. Nowitzki was a bit troublesome. The rest of the time, the United Arab Emirates was in the fourth position.

Kobe is in a bit of a bad state today, otherwise he would have an advantage against Jason Terry or Stevenson, and the Lakers wouldn't be able to fight the Mavericks to the end.You must know that Kobe is much taller than both of them, and he can easily shoot over their heads. If Kobe feels good, it is not a problem to think about [-] or [-] points.

At the last moment, the Lakers increased the score by more than 5 points to ensure the victory.

On the 22nd, the Lakers beat the Nuggets.The Nuggets have some contradictions this year. There have been rumors that the Nuggets will trade Anthony, because Anthony has never brought the Nuggets a championship.This caused the Nuggets' morale to be very unstable. Relying on the cooperation of Anthony and Billups, the Nuggets did not withdraw from the playoffs.

However, the unstable Nuggets have no hope of winning against the Lakers.

Woody restricted Anthony, and Billups simply couldn't lead the Nuggets to victory.After easily defeating the Nuggets, the Lakers continued to beat the Jazz.

The Nuggets' performance this year is not as good as in previous years. After Boozer left, the Nuggets' offensive system seems to have no problems. Last season, the Nuggets averaged 104.2 points per game, but this season has fallen below 100 points.

Pekovic exploded again, pinning down Millsap and Jefferson for 14 rebounds, just two short of the two.

On the 27th, Bynum also came back.However, he suddenly found that the Lakers seemed to have no place for him. His substitute Pekovic has performed completely in line with the starting lineup during this period of time, and his role is not less than him.During the training match, Zen Master assigned Pekovic to the main team and Bynum to the substitute group, which was impossible before.

This gave Bynum a sense of crisis. He performed very well in the training matches and proved to the coaching staff that this injury did not affect his condition.
