Basketball

The NBA regular season is in full swing, and now that the new season has started, the competition for the Eastern and Western standings will become even more intense. The performance of many teams is far from expected. The Kings' supermarket has officially opened. There are only two young players in the team who are not for sale, including Savoy. Can be put on the shelf. In addition, injuries are also coming constantly. Earlier, there were updates on the injuries of many players from multiple teams. On the Lakers side, it was exposed, and the follow-up reinforcement goals have been set. One night: The Warriors injured two more people, Durant was absent, and the Lakers strengthened their goals.

The Warriors' performance has been ups and downs so far this season. In many games, they have relied on Curry's performance to win the game. This is not good news for the Warriors, who have veterans such as Curry, Butler, and Green at their core. After a three-game losing streak, their record dropped to 9 wins and 9 losses, ranking eighth in the Western Conference standings. The house leaked and it rained all night, and injuries and illnesses had already caught up with them.

Kuminga is still absent due to injury. Cole revealed that Kuminga has not participated much in the team's training and it is not yet certain when he will be able to return. He has currently missed 5 games and has averaged 13.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game so far this season. It is worth mentioning that Kuminga is currently subject to trade rumors. In addition, the situation of two veterans is also updated. Green is doubtful for the next game due to a foot injury. Horford, who was originally used for protection, suffered a hamstring strain and will be absent for at least a week. Horford has played 12 games so far this season, averaging 5.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game. Sudden injuries are not friendly to the Warriors. Next, it depends on whether they can stabilize their record and ranking.

For the Rockets, Durant will also miss the next two games, but it is not due to injury. According to a previous report by Shams, sources revealed that Durant will miss the next two games due to family matters. The Rockets' next two games are against the Suns on Tuesday and against the Warriors on Thursday. The Rockets' record is at the forefront of the Western Conference standings, and the team is getting better. Durant's absence due to something unexpected will have a certain impact on the team's lineup strength. It is predicted that Shepherd will be mentioned in the starting lineup next.

The last one concerns potential trade rumors. According to NBA reporter Jake Fischer, the Lakers have shown interest in Heat forward Wiggins and will continue to pay attention to his developments. This is not the first time that the Lakers have been exposed to be interested in Wiggins. As early as the summer, the Heat and the Lakers held trade negotiations for Wiggins, but the two sides ultimately failed to reach an agreement on the transaction chips.

So far this season, the Lakers' performance is quite good. Although there are also injuries, the Lakers' record so far is 11 wins and 4 losses, ranking third in the Western Conference standings. Such a record is still unexpected. If the team wants to compete for the championship, lineup adjustments are inevitable, and forward depth is where they need to strengthen.

Wiggins has performed quite well since coming to the Heat. In 15 games so far this season, he averaged 16.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.1 steals per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was 36.5%. During Herro's absence due to injury, he provided the Heat with scoring ability, matchup defense and space-opening capabilities on the outside. This kind of performance is needed for the Lakers.

According to the information disclosed so far, the Heat have no intention of trading Wiggins. The interest from other teams has actually increased his value and given the Heat more options. Although the Lakers were revealed to be interested in Wiggins, the initiative is still in the hands of the Heat. What do you think the Lakers would have to pay if they traded Wiggins?
