The Lakers' recent record has deteriorated, and the team's lineup has not performed as well as one game. In the last game, they were beaten by unknown youngsters, and suffered a 28-point victory by the Spurs, suffering a major humiliation of the season. In the current state of the Lakers, not to mention the competition for the championship, even if it is impacting the playoffs, it is worrying.
According to the latest news, the Lakers will continue to sign two players with difficult exceptions to make up for the lack of lineup and reassign the right personnel. At present, the Lakers have reached a 10-day short contract with 2009 star guard Darren Collison and 2015 8th pick forward Stanley Johnson.
Collison is 34 years old this year, but 2 years ago he was one of the best defenders in the league. Playing for the Pacers in 2018-19, he averaged 11.2 points, 3.1 boards, 6 assists and 1.4 steals per game, shooting 40.7% from three-point range. According to market expectations, he could get a contract with an annual salary of at least ten million yuan at that time. But miraculously, he abruptly announced his retirement from the league because of his family and faith, leaving the league directly.
This offseason, Collison wants to return again, he tried for the Warriors and Lakers, but did not stay. After many players triggered a health and safety agreement, the Lakers finally remembered him, and the two sides agreed again.
Stanley Johnson, who played in the Lakers Development League, averaged 6.2 points, 3.1 boards and 1.4 assists per game in his career. As the No. 8 show of the year, Johnson balanced attack and defense, tough style, with good speed and strength, the draft template is Leonard.
From the book attributes, the Lakers' latest two new signings are of course better than Thomas Jr.'s talent. Since Thomas Jr. signed a 10-day short contract with the Lakers, the Lakers have suffered 4 consecutive defeats. With the Lakers re-signing new signings, Thomas Jr. wants to turn right, and the possibility is very small. The 10 days were not over, and Thomas Jr.'s fate seemed to have been determined.
This season, the Lakers have put together 18 starting lineups, setting the highest number in the league so far. Moreover, the Lakers do not have a starting lineup and have played in 4 games. That said, the Lakers have been tuning the lineup, trying to find the best form.
With the playoffs still a long way off, Collison and Johnson will most likely not be the lakers' final answer. This former powerhouse may have spent the season in chaos again and again.
