Player analysis
Next, let's analyze the strength and potential of these players.
First, Howard. As a center, Howard's physical fitness is excellent, and his rebounding and blocking ability is extremely high. However, his offensive skills are relatively weak, and he often relies on physical strength and physical advantages to score points. In addition, his personality is also controversial, and he often has conflicts with teammates and coaches. Therefore, his joining is an adventure for Grizzlies.
Next, Morant and Karl Popper. Both of them are grizzly bear substitutes with average strength. However, they are still very young and have great potential to tap. In grizzly bears, they have more opportunities to show their abilities and improve their strength.
Finally, Crosen and Brooks. Both players are substitutes for the Washington Wizards, with average strength. However, they are all scorers and can provide more scoring support for the Washington Wizards. In addition, their contracts are relatively cheap, which can save some salary space for the wizards in Washington.
Future prospects
Fans have different views on the deal. Some people think that the Los Angeles Lakers have an excellent center, which can provide more support for the inside of the team. Others think that Howard's personality problem may bring bad influence to the team. For Memphis Grizzlies, they got two young players and a potential draft pick, which can lay the foundation for the team's future development. Washington Wizards got two scorers, which can provide more scoring support for the team.
