In 2007, if Garnett joins the Lakers, can the Lakers achieve three consecutive championships?

Basketball

In today's NBA, it is very common to have a group. Just imagine, even Zhuang MVP James teamed with the league's second-scoring defender Wade and All-Star power forward Bosh, and Durant directly joined the Warriors 73 to beat the Warriors. So what else can shock people?

However, as early as the early 21st century, group formation did not happen very often, except for joining the Lakers to form F4 at the end of their careers in 2004. So in 2007, the three giants of the Celtics group were the most shocking group. The three giants of the Heat are the originators of the peak grouping, and the three giants of the Celtics are the originators of the All-Star grouping.

What I want to say today is that if Garnett did not go to the Celtics but to the Lakers in 2007, then can the Lakers achieve three consecutive championships? Why is this assumption? Because the Timberwolves did have the idea of sending Garnett to the Lakers at that time, and Garnett also called Kobe, but Kobe didn't receive it. Later, Garnett went to the Celtics.

Look at the reality first:

Early in the 2007-2008 season, the Lakers welcomed Fisher's return, and Bynum also got into the state. The Lakers were once the first in the West. Later, Bynum was reimbursed for the season, and the Lakers took advantage of the trend to get Gasol and returned to the finals, but lost to the Celtics and finished second.

In the following two seasons, the Lakers made a comeback and won two consecutive championships, but were swept out by the Mavericks in the second round of the 2010-2011 season, and their dream of winning three consecutive championships was shattered.

Since you have to assume, you have to assume the bargaining chips first. The Lakers get Gasol, and they pay for the signing rights of Marc Gasol, Crittanton, Kwame Brown, Alon McGee, and two first-round picks. To get Garnett, these are not enough. It is reported that the Lakers' offer at that time was Bynum, Odom, and first-round draft picks. After the

trade, the Lakers will lose key player Odom. Their starting lineup may be Garnett, Walton, Ariza, Kobe, Fisher, and substitutes include Famal, Vujasic, etc.

Since the Lakers rushed out of the West in the 2007-2008 season, their biggest advantage lies in Kobe's point, and Garnett and Kobe can also play a triangular offense, so there is no problem for the Lakers to enter the finals. The Celtics, the biggest opponent in the finals, is no longer there, and it basically cannot stop the Lakers. In the 2007-2008 season, the Lakers won the championship.

And in the 2008-2009 season, the NBA will still have strong teams such as Magic, Cavaliers, Nuggets, etc. There will be Suns, Cavaliers, etc. in the 2009-2010 season.

Although the Lakers have Kobe and Garnett, because Odom is not there, the substitute's firepower will be affected. It should be very promising to achieve two consecutive championships, but it is very difficult to win three consecutive championships.

On the one hand, it can be seen from the actual situation, but after the Lakers won two consecutive championships, their condition has declined severely in the 2010-2011 season. One is injury, Kobe and Gasol are both injured; the other is that their desire to win has decreased significantly.

On the other hand, other teams will also be targeted to strengthen. To achieve three consecutive championships, you still need some luck.

For example, the real Lakers did not achieve three consecutive championships, and the real Celtics three giants did not achieve three consecutive championships.

Generally speaking, three consecutive championships are still hard to come by. The Bulls won 2 times and 3 consecutive championships. Jordan's absolute dominance and the team's cohesion are the main factors. The Lakers won 3 consecutive championships, and O'Neal's coverage and Kobe's desire to win are well combined. Even if Garnett joins the Lakers in 2007, unless the Lakers can have other reinforcements, it will be difficult to win three consecutive championships, but there is no big problem with two consecutive championships.
