This season's NBA regular season is already in the middle of the season, and so far this season, the league's teams have a problem, that is, a serious shortage of personnel.
I believe everyone knows that the league is still seriously affected by the epidemic, as more and more players have triggered health and safety agreements, and the 30 teams in the NBA have also been forced to suspend players. Just today, a number of players have triggered safety agreements, namely Rondo of the Lakers, DJ Augustine of the Rockets and others.
However, so far, it is still the Nets, Lakers, Bulls, Raptors, Lone Rangers these teams have been the most affected, and there are some teams that can not meet the situation of 8 players, so the game has to be postponed. The Nets have already postponed the game before, and in tomorrow's game, the Nets are only just enough to play 8 people, the Lakers do not seem to be very good, in the past there have been a number of players to trigger the safety agreement, and now Rondo is also lying in it, which is even worse.
Such a situation in the NBA league is undoubtedly a bad situation for the team, but it is a great opportunity for those role players. In the recent past, those players who seem to be slowly fading out of the league have signed short contracts with various teams and returned to the big stage of the NBA, in addition to the short contracts previously announced by Thomas Jr., Collison, Stanley Johnson, Galloway and others, and Monroe, Stephenson, Joe Johnson and others have also signed 10-day short contracts with teams recently.
While it's an opportunity for role players, it seems that not all characters are lucky, and while signing a contract, there are also some players who face layoffs, and Bulls striker Aliz Johnson is one of them. According to US media reports, the Chicago Bulls are about to lay off striker Aliz Johnson.
Aliz Johnson has played in 16 regular-season games for the Bulls so far this season, averaging 1.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.2 steals in 7.6 minutes per game. Aliz Johnson played for the Nets last season, and Aliz Johnson made a deep impression on the Nets' brilliant performance of 20 points, 21 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in the Nets' game against the Pacers on April 30, 2021.
However, Aliz Johnson's highlight performance at that time was still thanks to the completion of the team's big brother Durant, but he still could not get rid of the fate of being cut. In fact, there are many factors why Aliz Johnson was cut, on the one hand, Aliz Johnson has obvious shortcomings, short height and unstable shooting, and the Bulls need to cut expenses to avoid Aliz Johnson from switching to a guarantee contract. But Aliz Johnson's outside defensive ability seems to be quite suitable for a team with defensive loopholes like the Lakers, but it depends on whether the Lakers will take advantage of the fire.
