The Cavaliers didn't lose money in this deal, and both Nance and Clarkson are good players, at least better than Isaiah Thomas, who has been playing and stopping due to injuries and has extremely low efficiency values.

Wang Feng understands the Lakers' thoughts, Isaiah. Regardless, Thomas played as a top superstar with the Celtics last season, and the current Lakers team lacks a good point guard.

Lang Zuo. Although Ball looks full of potential, he is still too young, and his performance in the regular season is mediocre, and he may find it difficult to shoulder the burden in the playoffs.

Trade Thomas Jr. to touch the prize, in case he still retains a certain combat power in his prime, then the Lakers will definitely make a profit.

After all, although Nance and Clarkson are both doing well, they overlap with Ingram and Pope in position, and even if they are traded, there will not be much loss.

It's a pity that Thomas Jr.'s crotch pull caught the Lakers by surprise, and this gambling deal ended up being more of a loss for the Lakers.

……

Wang Feng thought about it again, but still shook his head and said.

"Erwin, I don't think this year is the right time to choose a trade reinforcement, and more importantly, there is no suitable candidate now, and if you force a trade, it is impossible to exchange for a satisfactory player."

There are only a few top quality point guards in the league, and there are no thoughts of leaving the team yet, and the Lakers have a lot of chips to trade, but they can't make a move.

Quite simply, even if the Lakers package all the players except Wang Feng to trade Curry, the Warriors will not agree, even the current Westbrook is the same.

It's impossible for a team to trade a top superstar unless they don't want to stay.

In fact, in the position of point guard before, Wang Feng had a better candidate, that is, the famous Long Butou, Rajan. Rondo.

The former Celtics' top point guard did not have a good time with the Bulls last season, averaging only 7.8 points and 6.6 assists per game, and was cut by the Bulls after the season, and then signed a one-year 3 million contract with New Orleans.

Wang Feng actually thought of this experienced point guard at the first time when he joined the Lakers, but unfortunately Rondo signed with the Pelicans too quickly, and the Lakers were one step slower and could only watch.

Although Rondo has had a bad year in recent years, it is clear that there is still oil in the tank.

In another time and space, Rondo averaged 8 points and 8 assists per game for the Pelicans, although the statistics are not outstanding, but his excellent court control ability has kept the Pelicans in order.

The Pelicans won 48 in the '17-18 regular season, the most since Paul left.

Some people also say that the Pelicans have a lot to do with Cousins coming to the Pelicans and Anthony Davis to form a twin tower this season, but Rondo's contribution must not be ignored, especially in the playoffs, his statistics have increased to an average of 10 points, 7.6 rebounds and 12 assists per game, the absolute core of the organization.

Rondo, who joined the Lakers a year later, can still contribute 9 points and 8 assists per game, and in the 19-20 season, the Lakers formed James + Anthony. Davis's king bomb combination successfully won the championship with the team.

The reason why he can only sign the basic salary of the veteran is because of his personality.

On the other hand, it's because of his poor shooting accuracy.

Long's non-shooting is just a joke, his shooting is really inaccurate, whether it is mid-to-long range or three-point shooting is seriously unsatisfactory, and even inferior to some interior centers in the small-ball era, such as Anthony. Davis, Joel. Embiid.

Even when the Lakers won the championship, the long-range shooting improved slightly, but it was only relative to himself before, and he was still not competitive enough.

In the small-ball era, even the center began to shoot three-pointers, and a guard actually couldn't shoot three-pointers, so how to play?

Besides, Rondo's age is not young, so naturally it has become what it is now.

In Wang Feng's view, next summer, Rondo can basically serve as the Lakers' main point guard, because the point guard in the next few seasons is not the mainstream of the league, and in the small-ball era, except for the special case of Curry Curry, it basically belongs to the era of the forward.

Counting the NBA championships in recent years, the winning side has the existence of top forwards.

James of the Cavaliers, Durant of the Warriors, Leonard of the Mongols, James and Davis of the Lakers, and Antetokounmpo of the Bucks reached the top.

In addition to these championship-winning forwards, there is also Paul in the league. George, Jimmy. Butler and other top small forwards are active, and in the future, there is Luca. Rising stars like Doncic.

On the other hand, guards, especially point guards.

What will first-class guards like Westbrook, Lillard, Irving, Wall and others look like in a few years......

The only ones who are still active in the playoffs are Curry and Paul, who have been reduced to a supporting tandem role and are not the absolute core of the team.

If Wang Feng is allowed to choose, he is also a second-in-command who needs to be signed with the highest salary, and he will definitely prefer to choose a striker with a higher strength ceiling.

Now that the position of the game is becoming more and more model, the point guard who needs to control the ball is no longer so important, faster offensive and defensive conversion, stronger physical fitness, both internal and external, offensive and defensive grasping, such an all-round warrior is the king!

Besides, the current Wang Feng can't pass the organization, it doesn't mean that he won't be in the future, in fact, after a few seasons, Wang Feng is fully confident to compete for the league's assist king!

……

Heard Wang Feng say this.

Johnson nodded slightly.

The hero sees the same thing, he thinks the same as Wang Feng.

This season is not the best time for the Lakers to strengthen themselves, what they should do is to develop lewdly, wait until next year, first sign a star with salary space, and then use the potential rookies obtained from the draft over the years to trade another star to form a standard combination of the Big Three, and the Lakers really have the capital to compete for the championship.

"Okay, Wang, I will explain your point of view to the team management again, and then discuss the future development of the team, you just need to play with peace of mind, and I will take care of everything."

Wang Feng and Johnson's conversation is over.

He didn't know how much his words would affect the other party.

But at least Wang Feng feels that Johnson is not the kind of fool who picks up sesame seeds and loses watermelons, otherwise the Lakers would not have formed the James and Davis combination to win the championship later.
