Do the Lakers need to trade Howard?

From the current point of view, Howard did lose a bit of money after the trade, but the Lakers' management did not think so, for the sake of the future, Kobe Bryant is old, Bynum is young, but there are injury concerns, and Gasol can't pick up the big beam himself (from the Grizzlies). Therefore, if Howard is willing to renew his contract with the Lakers, then he will become the core and cornerstone of the Lakers' future team. You can build a team around him.

And it can also help Kobe Bryant in the fight for a championship chance. So if Howard is traded, the Lakers will still make a profit. The premise is that Howard is willing to renew his contract.

Personally, I think it's very necessary, first of all, I'm a fan of Howard, I think his basket skills have been perfected, if the Lakers can trade Bynum and Gasol plus draft picks, it's very considerable, so it is very beneficial for the Lakers to win the championship together with Nash.

Maybe, Nash has joined the Lakers, Bynum's personality is incompatible with Kobe Bryant, often injured, Gasol is playing too soft, Kobe is getting older, the Lakers should trade Howard, with Howard as the core of the rebuild, and Howard has agreed to renew his contract with the Lakers. As long as he goes to the Lakers looks.

No, with two sevens for one, Bynum and Gasol are averaging a total of 32 points and 23 rebounds per game, while Howard only has 15, which is not worth it.

Yes, but it's better to have a good point guard.

Not at all, Bynum is enough.

No, it's better to be a point guard.

Of course, otherwise it would be difficult to win the championship, and the little shark is too good to compare with Howard.

Lakers' chips Who can attract the Magic, there is no need.

Howard tweeted not long ago that he wanted to stay with the Lakers, but he didn't expect to play a secret trick with Chen Cang, and he turned around and signed with the 76ers, and it was a base salary contract. It's really a little confusing, Howard just won the championship in the Lakers, and the two sides seem to be you and me, is the sweetness of the past season all fake?

It seems that Howard's signing of the 76ers does not seem to be beneficial to himself, the strength of the 76ers can only be regarded as a low-profile version of the Lakers, and the probability of winning the championship is very small, they were in the East last season, and they are not even a top four team. And the 76ers also have super center Embiid on the inside, Howard only plays on the bench, if he stays with the Lakers, he still has a great chance of squeezing out McGee to become the team's starting center. The most important monetary aspect is that signing the 76ers is only a base salary, so don't the Lakers even want to give a base salary?

So why did Howard leave at all? He doesn't even know the simplest arithmetic problems? Obviously not, as a veteran who has been in the league for 16 years and a player who is about to play for the eighth team in his career, Howard must have made such a choice with his own considerations.

There are two main reasons that cause the two sides to turn against each other. Because of his outstanding performance in the Lakers last season, Howard naturally wanted to ask for more playing time and a bigger contract, before Howard tweeted that to stay with the Lakers, the two sides should have negotiated to the final stage, and they were about to sign the contract, but in the end the negotiations collapsed because of these two reasons. McGee and the Lakers still have one year left on his contract, so the Lakers are unlikely to offer a higher price to the same type of Howard, and Howard is already a 35-year-old veteran, and it is obviously impossible to sign a long-term contract, which will affect the team's long-term plans.

As for playing time, Davis's iron-clad main force, the Lakers also prefer to arrange a big four small lineup, Howard and McGee both played less than 20 minutes, which is determined by the Lakers' system and the basis of their win.

Signing with the 76ers is indeed not a very good option, but it may also usher in a greater opportunity. Horford was just sent away by the 76ers, Embiid and the team also have some gaps, and there were a lot of trade rumors last season, so Howard may have more playing time with the 76ers. As long as you play well for one season, you can still get a bigger contract in the future.

In any case, Howard has also fulfilled his promise to the Lakers, and the next thing is to wish him a bright future.

Although it was a sad thing for the Lakers to lose Howard, it did not stop the Lakers from defending their title, and the Lakers soon made a new move, they were interested in former championship center Gasol Jr., and soon signed Harrell, a sworn enemy in the city. Compared to Howard, Harrell has a better performance on the offensive end, and Harrell averaged points and rebounds per game last season, which can bring more tactical changes to the Lakers.

It's all base salary, why are the Lakers willing to renew Dudley, who averages 1 point per game, but not keep Howard?

It's all base salary signings, but some people can't be retained, like Howard, whose stage should be the bigger world, not huddled in the small Lakers, which will hinder his development.

The Lakers are too strong. Howard lacks the opportunity to play and be a regular on other teams.

It's sad and angry news that the Lakers are trying to trade Howard. A veteran in his twilight years, a blue-collar worker who specializes in dirty work and hard work, and a base-paid player who loves the team. You want to send him away? How can I bear it.

Looking back on Howard's experience in the past few months, a bitterness arises spontaneously.

When Howard was called up by the Lakers last August, he threw himself into the arms of the Purple and Gold again, without considering other options. Before the start of the season, he was not selected from the NBA's official list of 75 superstars.

In the second game of the season, he clashed with thick eyebrows again and became the protagonist of infighting. Later, he was hidden several times for making statements in interviews that were detrimental to team unity. From his comeback to the present, the Lakers have completely given up the big lineup in order to free up offensive space, and he can no longer get consistent playing time.

Looking back on the 19-20 season, Howard, who has been tormented by cold eyes, completed redemption with the Lakers and helped the team win the championship. At the time, I thought it was a perfect story about the prodigal son's return, but I didn't realize that reality is not a movie.

A center who can't shoot, a veteran who only has heat left, even if you change your mind, even if you work hard, and in this business alliance that only talks about value, how can you escape the fate of a chess piece?

Many people know that when Howard signed with the Lakers in '19, the contract clearly stated that as soon as he had any outrageous words and deeds, he would pack his bags and leave. Suddenly it felt like the reshaping of his body at that time, and what we later called "maturity", just like when we became mature, there was nothing to realize it, it was just a humble passive change.

I saw it while gathering copywriting that Howard was crying when he signed his contract last summer. I guess he thought at the time that he would never leave when he came back this time.

I don't expect the Lakers to suddenly realize that Howard is a treasured veteran, and I don't expect them to be warm. I just hope that, by chance, he can continue to play here and finish the last leg of his career, so that it will be worth the ups and downs along the way.

Howard submitted an application to the Lakers for a trade, the reason is that he has not been valued by Lakers head coach Vogel, not only did he not start, but he couldn't even play on the bench, he had no sense of existence at all, and he was reduced from a superstar to a bench player, and his own suffering could only be tasted by himself. If I leave the Lakers, I think the Nets should be next. Why?

Let's break it down:

When the Lakers won the championship the year before last, Howard was doing the dirty work in both the regular season and the playoffs, whether he was a starter or a substitute, he was diligent and took the initiative to extend the training time, and he did a perfect job from superstar to super bench.

After winning the championship, the Lakers management was confused by the joy of victory, and did not renew Howard's contract with the base salary, so that Howard went to the Eastern team with the base salary and led the team to the first place in the regular season. After a round of playoff games last season, the Lakers rushed to grab Howard and hope to continue to challenge for the championship this year.

Not only did Howard fail to get into the starting lineup this season, but he was even hidden for the whole game, and Vogel didn't even give him 1 second, which was embarrassing, and when Reed repeatedly wreaked havoc on the Lakers' interior, Howard could only sit on the bench and stare at him. Speaking of which, you have to admire Vogel's perseverance, watching Reed turn over the river and the sea himself but being indifferent, Vogel's mentality is really good.

When the inside line was very needed, and even the Lakers contacted Zhou Qi, the head coach refused to give Howard a chance, not to mention a former superstar, who was an ordinary player, and would not be at ease when he could still play, so Howard took the initiative to apply for a trade to leave the Lakers.

If Howard leaves the Lakers, it seems that the Nets are the best option right now. The Nets have the strength to challenge for the championship, and they have a better record than the Lakers this season, so they have great hopes. The Nets have Harden, who has worked with Howard in the Rockets before, and has a tacit understanding, and he can use it if he goes.

The Nets are now in Griffin's state that is declining too obviously, and they urgently need a strong interior like Howard to supplement the team's height, and the Nets will definitely play much better playing time than in the Lakers, at least Howard can be used as a super substitute, and it will definitely play a big role in the future playoffs.

So it is too wise for Howard to apply for leaving the Lakers in time, it is a waste of resources if the superstar does not make full use of it, if Howard goes to the Nets, helps the Nets reach the Finals, wins the championship, and his value is also played, the state will get better and better. It's definitely a win-win for the Nets and Howard!

Bottom line: Howard's favorite team is the Nets. At present, the biggest shortcoming of the Nets is the lack of centers with the ability to protect the basket on the inside.

Howard was a very well-known player for the Lakers, but now that he has left the Lakers, it is uncertain what he will decide next. Fans are also looking forward to his new performance.

Go to the Nets, because the Nets are also one of the championship teams, but the Nets can't do it inside, and Howard went to do a lot of things.
