Off-season, after the Lakers traded to Westbrook, they changed a large number of lineups and signed new players, and now that the season has played nearly 30 games, let's take stock of some of the Signings the Lakers have signed off-season.
The three most cost-effective signings
Howard
Off-season, in order to make up for the losses of last season, the Lakers signed Howard back with a basic salary of $2.64 million a year.
So far this season, Howard has played 25 games for the Lakers, averaging 15 minutes per game, scoring 5.0 points and 5.4 rebounds, although the data has declined compared to last season, but Howard has made a huge contribution to the Lakers' defensive end, but Vogel is more greedy for the small lineup, once abandoned Howard, otherwise with Howard's current strength, become a stable team rotation lineup and interior defenders, it is not a problem.
Reeves
In this year's offseason, the Lakers signed Reeves on a 2-year, $2.49 million non-guaranteed contract, and this season, Reeves's salary was only a pitiful $930,000, ranking out of the league's five hundredth place, and it was this insecure contract that the Lakers did make a lot of money.
So far this season, Reeves has played 17 regular season games for the Lakers, averaging 19.7 minutes per game, contributing 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists, with a 50% shooting percentage and nearly 40% three-point shooting rate, playing on the court is also very diligent, and today in the game against the Lone Ranger also hit the killer, how to calculate, the 930,000-dollar Lakers also earned back.
Anthony
In the offseason, Anthony signed a $2.64 million veteran base salary contract with the Lakers, and now it seems that this contract is indeed less for the Lakers.
So far this season, Anthony has played 29 regular season games for the Lakers, averaging 27.6 points per game, contributing 13.4 points, 4.1 rebounds and 0.9 assists, shooting 41.3% from three-point range, which is the most stable projection of the Lakers' outside line, and even many games Anthony has played an excellent performance, many fans said that Anthony is now fully capable of competing for the best sixth person.
The worst three signings
1. Rondo
In this year's offseason, Rondo was traded by the Clippers to the Grizzlies, and then the Grizzlies chose to cut Rondo, and finally the Lakers signed Rondo back with a $2.64 million a year veteran base salary contract, but for now, the signing is indeed a loss.
So far this season, Rondo has played in a total of 14 games, contributing 3.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists, not that Rondo's ability is a problem, but after the Lakers traded to Westbrook, there are already two strong ball holding points for James and Westbrook, and Rondo's time with the ball is completely compressed, more importantly, Westbrook and Rondo can not play at the same time, both have the same attributes and the same projection defects, at the beginning of the season, Vogel has proved this, so the Lakers signed Rondo is a completely redundant choice.
2. Bazemore
In this year's offseason, the Lakers also signed Bazemore on a one-year base salary, but now it seems that this signing is indeed very bad for both sides.
The reason why the Lakers signed Bazemore offseason is very simple, is to look at Bazemore's projection ability, last season in the Warriors, Bazemore's three-point shooting rate is 40.8%, but now, Bazemore came to the Lakers, the three-point shooting rate is only 31%, once abandoned by the team, today due to the absence of Tucker and others, Bazemore has a long playing time, but 3 of 0, only contributed an assist, it seems that Bazemore is better than staying in the Warriors, maybe it will be better.
3. Tucker
In this year's offseason, the Lakers abandoned Caroso to sign Tucker Jr. for $30.78 million for three years, and now the deal does not seem to be a success.
So far this season, Tucker has played a total of 15 games. Averaging 28.8 minutes per game, 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.9 assists, statistically speaking, it is still reasonable, but Tucker's performance is also three games after his return from injury, during the Lakers' four-game losing streak, Tucker started, averaged 27 minutes per game, contributed 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists, 0 of 11 three-pointers, even if Wei Shao, who was complained by fans about the low three-point shooting rate, also hit 5 three-pointers during this period, if Tucker continues like this, he will basically be sent away by the Lakers.
