Lakers news: Important agreements are revealed, mid-season grouping is released, and 12+4 defenders are interested

Important agreement was exposed

Not long ago, the Jenny Buss family sold most of the Lakers' equity to the financial giant and the Los Angeles Dodgers (American Professional Baseball League team) Mark Walter, who became the new boss of the Lakers. Today, according to famous reporter Sam Amick, sources revealed that there is an important provision in the agreement reached between the Buss family and Walter, that is, Jenny Buss will continue to serve as the helmsman of the Lakers in the next five seasons, namely, managing the team's personnel appointments, player signings, transaction reviews and other matters. As the Lakers boss, Jenny Buss was successful in commercial operations and brand value maintenance, and inherited her father, Old Buss, and made a big move to Anthony Davis and successfully topped in 2020. However, she has obvious shortcomings in the professional management of basketball operations, management stability construction, and long-term planning after winning the championship, such as Westbrook, who is completely unsuitable for trading, and frequent coach changes, etc. In short, Jenny Buss has had attacks during his time in managing the Lakers, but it was still good overall. Now, the new boss Walter has become Jenny Buss' strong backing. I hope she can make reasonable changes to the lineup and not delay James' final win window.

Mid-season grouping was released

Today, the NBA officially announced the grouping of 30 teams in the UAE Cup (the third NBA midseason), and the results showed that the Lakers were assigned to Group B of the Western Conference. The teams in the same group include the Lakers' arch-rivals Los Angeles Clippers, the Youth Army Memphis Grizzlies, the Dallas Mavericks with a balanced lineup, and the New Orleans Pelicans who have experienced reconstruction. It should be noted that four teams in Group B of the West Division ranked in the top ten and three teams in the Western Conference last season and entered the playoffs, all of which were the best among the three groups. It can be seen that the competition in this group is the most intense. In the first midseason, the Lakers successfully won the championship with a proud record of winning all the games. James successfully won the Most Valuable Player Trophy, and each player also received a reward of 500,000 US dollars (two-way players $250,000 US dollars). This year's NBA Cup group stage will be held from October 31 to November 28; the quarterfinals will start from December 9-10; the semi-finals will start on December 13; the final championship will kick off on December 16 in the casino Las Vegas. Although the value of the NBA Cup champion and the sense of belonging to honor are far inferior to that of the O'Brien Cup in the Finals, if they can reach the top, they will not only make the players earn a considerable income, but also greatly improve their confidence. Let's see if the Lakers can stand out from the death group and replicate the good show of winning the first NBA Cup.

Interested in 12+4 defenders

Today, according to the US Record Jake Weinbach, sources revealed that the Lakers are fully evaluating Bulls player Dosem and are interested in getting him through a trade. Dosem, 25, is 1.93m tall and weighs 92kg. He plays as a guard on the court. He plays for the Bulls in 46 games last season, and averages 12.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 0.9 steals per game. His three shooting percentages were 49.2%, 32.8% and 78.5%, setting career highs in many data.

Dosem has a stable offense, sharp organization, and good outside defense skills. If it weren't for the issue of renewal ($750,000 left in the last year), I believe the Bulls would not put him in the trading market. For the Lakers, Dosem can play the role of the team's second-line commander and organizer, which is definitely a good upgrade compared to Vincent, Milton and others. Of course, the Bulls will not let Dosem go easily, and are expected to ask the Lakers for Kneckett + a head-on or an expiring contract (Vincent or Kleber) + draft pick compensation (one first round or two rounds). Let's wait and see what's going on in the future.
