On January 3, Beijing time, the Lakers had previously signed two difficult special cases of "temporary workers", Collison and Stanley Johnson's ten-day contract, will expire on January 4. Judging from the current situation, Collison is likely to repeat the model of Thomas Jr. and cannot get a contract extension, and Stanley Johnson is expected to get a contract extension.
The Lakers have previously signed a number of temporary players with multiple ten-day contracts, the most notable of which is Thomas Jr.'s second time with the Lakers. It's just that Thomas Jr. scored 32 points in the first two games, then went crazy in the next two games, and the last game of the contract period was directly hidden by the snow, and then it was not renewed by the Lakers.
Now Collison's script is similar to Thomas Jr., he has played in 3 games during his contract period, averaging only 1.3 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game, basically no presence in the Lakers.
Collison has been away from the court for too long, and he still hasn't been able to get back to the way he was before he last retired, and it's hard to get a chance on a team where the Lakers need to produce results. What's more, in the battle against the Timberwolves, he was directly hidden by the snow and did not play, and it is highly likely that he will repeat the Thomas Jr. model and leave the team.
As for Stanley Johnson, although he only had 1 point, 2 rebounds and 2 assists in 20 minutes against the Timberwolves, he has played 5 games for the Lakers and is now the lakers' starter, which undoubtedly proves that he has become an important rotation player for the team.
Stanley Johnson averaged 6.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game, a pretty good personal performance, a very hard-working spirit and excellent defense, so the probability of him continuing to get a contract extension is very high. As for whether the Lakers will renew him with a ten-day contract or directly regularize him, it is still unknown, but the transaction will send Rondo away, which will also make a space, after all, according to the report, Valentine will be laid off.
