For the Lakers, how much did Davis' injury affect them?

Anthony davis will reevaluate his tendinitis and calf strain in two weeks, but today, Chris Haines, the authority of Yahoo Sports, brings a heavy news. According to many sources, Davis may miss the next three weeks or more. The Lakers management is very cautious now, even at the expense of the team's ranking decline, it will never let the thick eyebrows come back early.

Cast a net for fishing! Recently, the injury of heavy eyebrows has put total pressure on Pei, averaging 1 1 point per game, fearing to change the pattern of the Lakers. Although the Lakers' approach is 100% correct, it means that James, 36, will lead the team alone for a long time, which is not good news. If he gets hurt, it's not worth it. Therefore, the signing of the Lakers is imminent. After all, their current lineup has obvious shortcomings, one is the lack of depth inside, and the other is the poor shooting ability outside, so Pelinka will definitely strengthen the lineup in these two directions.

Also from Chris Haynes, the Lakers are keeping a close eye on hassan whiteside. Once they lose the battle of drummond, the former will be a good emergency choice. As we all know, the Cavaliers are currently negotiating with Zhuang Shen, and according to previous reports from major authoritative media, once Zhuang Shen becomes a free agent, the Lakers and the Nets will be his first choice. However, Pelinka knows that they have no advantage over the Nets. First, they don't have as much money as others. Secondly, their chances of winning the championship are backward now. So even if drummond eventually becomes a free agent, the Lakers have little chance to recruit him successfully, so Pelinka must now cast a net to fish instead of hanging himself from a tree.

Whiteside has not been valued by the head coach since he joined the Kings with a basic salary this season. He averaged only 14.6 minutes per game, but still got 8.3 points, 5.7 rebounds 1.3 blocks, shooting 58%. It can be said that the efficiency is still high. It is worth mentioning that Whiteside has been basically excluded from the rotation by Wharton, so the Lakers do have a chance to get him, but now it can only be regarded as a spare tire, because Pelinka's primary goal is drummond. In fact, the Cavaliers' McKee Rockets' PJ Tucker and free agent Cousins are also spare tires. But for the Lakers now, it is very unlikely that they want to strengthen their lineup through trading. Because of the hard salary cap, their current salary space is only 6.5438+0.5 million, so there is basically no chance to introduce PJ- Tucker. But now another player has entered the trading market, and he may change the status quo of the Lakers.

According to the news given by chams Chalania, the authoritative American media, many sources revealed that Pistons are actively selling sharpshooter Wayne Ellington, and they are seeking the second round of transaction negotiations. It is worth mentioning that Ellington's annual salary this season is only 1.62 million, and the Lakers only have contracts such as McKinney, Big Morris and Tucker to match. In addition, the Lakers just have the second round in 2023, so this is an excellent opportunity to strengthen the team's three-point ability. Since the beginning of this season, Ellington has averaged 10.6 points 1.8 rebounds 1.4 assists, with an average shooting percentage of 44.6%, an outside shooting percentage of 42.2% and an average of 2.7 three-pointers. Although he is now 33 years old, he is still one of the best pitchers in the league today.
