On January 6, Beijing time, ESPN reporter Windhorst said in the report that in order to make room for the team lineup, the Lakers are about to send Jordan Jr. and Bazemore. Bazmore has only played five games for the Lakers since December, and he has completely fallen out of the Lakers' rotation lineup.
Last season, Bazmore played for the Warriors, averaging 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game, shooting 40.8% from three-point range! At the end of the season, the Warriors offered Bazemore a higher and longer term (2-year) contract offer, but Bazemore eventually chose the base salary to join the Lakers.
It turned out that after Bazemore became a free man, Lakers General James personally recruited him. According to Bazemore himself, James had texted him and personally sketched out a blueprint for the Lakers' future. Bazemore believed that the Lakers' championship prospects were better than those of the Warriors, so he finally chose to sign with the Lakers on a one-year salary contract.
After Batzmore joined the Lakers, he has won 13 consecutive starts and averaged 28 minutes per game. Unfortunately, Bazemore's performance was worse, dropping to 34 percent from three-point range and averaging just 4.3 points per game. As the season progressed, Bazemore gradually lost its starting position and slowly fell out of the Lakers' rotation lineup.
Now, in order to grab people in the buyout market, the Lakers have begun to plan to lay off Bazemore. For Bazemore himself, he may regret it too. I misread the Lakers and thought that the Big Three Lakers would become a championship team. As a result, the overall performance of the Lakers is bad, and they are still at risk of being cut. The Warriors, who were rejected by themselves, have been reborn this season. Under Curry's leadership, the Warriors became a championship-contending team.
