3 major developments in one night! James was delegated, new developments in Morant’s trade, and strength list update

On November 11, the NBA regular season continued, and there were three major developments off the court. Among them, the Lakers sent James to the Development League and just let him do some training. After all, the Lakers were on a road trip; there was also new progress in the Morant trade, and the Timberwolves were really considering introducing him to partner with Edwards; the official updated the latest strength list. The Thunder and Nuggets still occupy the top two, the Rockets rose to third, and the Clippers fell to 21st.

The Lakers are on a road trip, and James did not travel with the team. According to coach Redick, James will train with the South Bay Lakers (the Lakers' G League affiliate team) today. In other words, he was sent to the Development League just to conduct some training and not to play games. This is a very common method for NBA teams. James has not played a game this season due to sciatica, and he is expected to return in mid-November. It is also possible to return after the Lakers' away trip is over.

Morant has been in very bad form recently. He seemed a little absent-minded on the court. After being suspended for a dispute with the coach, his overall attitude was not very good, and the team's results were not ideal. At present, the Grizzlies seem to be seriously considering whether to send Morant away. Once the team cannot make it in the West, they may choose to make complete changes, and the Timberwolves are paying close attention to all this.

Timberwolves team reporter Jon Krawczynski revealed on the show that the team currently does not have a true point guard, and they asked Edwards to assume this role. The team has contacted Memphis about Morant and is testing the waters. Once the Timberwolves don't make much progress, they may consider trading for Morant more seriously. If the Timberwolves can really win Morant, then the combination of him and Edwards is quite exciting. They are both players with excellent physical fitness.

The NBA officially released the latest team strength list. The top two teams have not changed, and they are still the Thunder and Nuggets. But the rankings changed again, with the Rockets rushing to third, the Lakers falling to sixth, and the Warriors falling to 11th. The most serious decline among them is the Clippers. They suffered four consecutive losses and fell directly from 11th to 21st. Obviously their performance is no longer optimistic unless they can get back on track in the future.
