Rejected more than 20 trades! The Lakers treat Xiaoli as not for sale? They won’t trade for thick eyebrows, only 2 people can trade

On November 12, a lot of sensational news came out of the league today. For example, the Mavericks laid off their general manager Harrison, and the Kings planned to trade away DeRozan, LaVine, and Sasha, and the team will start rebuilding. Moreover, the US media also reported that the Mavericks will evaluate the trading market for thick eyebrows in the next few months, and they want to send away thick eyebrows. I guess what the Mavericks want most now is to get Doncic back, right? But for now, even if they take out Flagg's thick eyebrows, the Lakers will not change him.

The current trade value of thick eyebrows is not that high. After all, they have been plagued by injuries in the past two seasons and their performance has not been good. Today NBA reporter Quine commented on the trade value of thick eyebrows on Twitter. He said: Do you think the Lakers will trade Reeves for Anthony Davis? My gut feeling is that they won't agree to this deal. The meaning is very clear. Even if the Lone Ranger wants to trade thick eyebrows for Xiaoli, they can't get them.

To be honest, Xiaoli's current performance is indeed of extremely high transaction value. This season, Xiaoli averaged 30.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 9 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He shot 48% from the field and 32.4% from three-point range. He averaged 2.9 three-pointers per game. Although the three-point efficiency is not good, Xiaoli is too good at drawing fouls. His scoring ability is now among the top in the league's backcourt. This season, he is among the top five in the league in points and assists per game.

This is still when the Lakers have Doncic, and Xiaoli does not have absolute ball rights. When James and Doncic are both absent at the same time, and Xiaoli leads the team with a single core, he averages 44+8+9 per game, which shows the level of a top star. Xiaoli is now an excellent ball-carrying core. He can attack and pass. If a suitable lineup is formed around him, the team will have a chance to achieve good results. Because of Xiaoli's outstanding performance, many teams are now interested in him.

According to reports from the Lakers team, sources revealed that since last season, the Lakers have rejected more than 20 trade offers for Reeves. Last season, Reeves had averaged 20+ per game, and many celebrities called him the strongest third-in-command in the league. Xiaoli was promoted again this season. Because of his outstanding performance this season, many celebrities suggested that James should be the third-in-command after his return and let Xiaoli be the second-in-command.

To be honest, I think this plan is feasible in the regular season, but not in the playoffs. Although Xiaoli has proven himself in the regular season, he has not proven his ability in the playoffs. The regular season and the playoffs are not the same type of competition. Everyone knows that the whistle that Xiaoli can get in the regular season may not be able to get in the playoffs. Moreover, the competition in the playoffs is intense and Xiaoli's weak physical condition will also be targeted. Therefore, it is a good choice for Lao Zhan to be the third boss in the regular season and second in the playoffs.

There are two reasons why the Lakers don't want to trade Reeves. On the one hand, the Lakers want to chase the record this season. Lao Zhan's age is here, and his status is uncertain after his return. If Lao Zhan's attendance rate and status cannot be guaranteed this season, then Reeves will have to assume his role and help the team achieve good results to appease Doncic. Another aspect is that the team wants to maximize Xiaoli's transaction value. They don't want to use Xiaoli to make meaningless transactions. Although Xiaoli is not for sale to the Lakers, he is also a key bargaining chip.

It can be said that this is not a transaction that can completely change the competitiveness of the Lakers. Xiaoli will not be sent away. Today, according to Lakers team reporter Ashish, a source revealed that the Lakers will only trade Reeves when they change letters or Jokic, and neither player will be traded this season. In other words, Xiaoli will stay with the Lakers this season. Xiaoli will be a completely free agent next summer. He has the opportunity to sign a five-year contract worth 246 million.

Looking at it now, the Lakers will most likely send this contract next summer, because Antetokounmpo and Jokic will not enter the free market until 27 years, the Nuggets will definitely not take the initiative to trade Jokic, and the Bucks may not take the initiative to trade Antetokounmpo, but Antetokounmpo may choose to force Gong to leave the team. This summer, there have been a lot of rumors about Antetokounmpo, but the place he wants to go most is not Los Angeles. He doesn’t want to be an assistant for Doncic and wants to go to the Knicks. Of course, he may change his mind in the future.

The Lakers actually cherish their double backcourt now. So far this season, when Doncic and Reeves are on the court at the same time, the Lakers' offensive efficiency is 124.6, which ranks first in NBA history. The two white men in the backcourt are both attacking and passing, and they have extremely high basketball intelligence, but the problem with their combination is also obvious. Neither of them is good at defensive players, and they will be targeted in the playoffs. It seems difficult for the Lakers to build a team around them and have a future.

Xiaoli is now 27 years old, at his peak age. He will work hard for the first big contract of his career next summer, but this may affect the Lakers' retention of James. Speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current Lakers and Xiaoli? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
