Low media: It is a pity that the Lakers missed the three major defensive toughsters Caruso, and the Warriors' two new signings are listed

This season, the Lakers have a poor record, and a very important reason is their decline on the defensive end. In the offseason, they missed out on many players who could help the team in this regard. For example, the Warriors' Otto Porter, Belitsa, and veteran Caruso, "Lake Show Life" believes that they are all what the Lakers should have.

The Lakers have been one of the best defensive players in the league over the past two seasons, and last season, even though James and Brow were absent for so long, the team's defense hasn't been greatly affected. This season, the Lakers' defensive efficiency is already the bottom level of the league, but their offense is not enough to make up for the decline in the defensive end.

Munch, Ellington, Anthony, offseason, the Lakers signed too many players who are good at offense, but it is difficult to help the team's players on the defensive end. The Lakers missed out on some good defensive players, such as Otto Porter, who wanted to get him before last year's offseason. When Porter became a free agent, it was clear he should be targeted by the Lakers, and the team only needed to give him a base salary contract.

Throughout the NBA, there are a lot of players like Otto Porter who have been on big contracts, but who may not be able to play with the salary, so his contract becomes a garbage contract, and this player looks like a bad player, and the Clippers' Batum is another typical example.

Porter has been very good at the Warriors, and he's the kind of frontman the Lakers need. Porter still has a great three-point ability, averaging 3.9 shots per game this season and reaching 40.4 percent of his three-point shooting. And for players who have played at least 600 minutes this season, Porter ranks eighth in defensive plus-minus. Imagine if the Lakers signed him, not Bazemore.

The second one, also from the Warriors, is Bjelica. This season, the Warriors were able to re-emerge as one of the best teams in the league, and the Lakers' winning percentage was even less than 50 percent, and one important difference was that the Warriors found the right role players, but the Lakers didn't. Bjelica also signed off-season with a base salary, having just finished a bad season last season.

Bjelica has excellent space to partner with thick eyebrows, he can defend like a traditional big man, and the offensive end does not affect thick eyebrows. Although Bjelica's three-point shooting percentage is only 34.2 percent this season, his defensive plus-minus ranks 13th in the league.

The last player the Lakers should least let go of is Caruso, which is mentioned almost every week. Seeing Caruso's performance with the Bulls, you'll see his worth. This season, Caruso has ranked seventh in the league in defensive plus-minus and third among defenders.

In the past three seasons, at least 3,000 minutes of play, there have been only six players with a defensive plus-minus of more than 2.5, in addition to Alphabet Brother, Sebel, Noel, Chasing Dream, Jokic, caruso. In the 2019-20 season, james and Caruso were the group with the highest net win score per 100 rounds, and in the following season, they ranked 13th in the league.

Caruso is so important to the Lakers, but the Lakers sent him away in vain in order to save money, and it is true that the NBA team will face the pressure of luxury tax, but the Lakers are a big club. Caruso wants to stay, the Lakers did not renew his contract, the team's final tucker, may also be sent away on the trade deadline, and finally the Lakers may get a player who is far inferior to Caruso.
