On February 14, Beijing time, the US media CBS Sports took stock of the top 20 candidates in the buyout market this year, of which the Lakers will be listed 3 times, namely Wei Shao, Jordan Jr. and Bazemore, but Wei Shao's listing has caused controversy, and he is unlikely to be bought out. In addition, Wall, Schroeder, Dragic, Bledsoe and many other famous players on the list, of which the Lakers are interested in Schroeder and Dragic.
Defenders: Westbrook, Wall, Schroeder, Dragic, Bledsoe, Augustine, Harris
Wei Shao's inclusion in such a list is naturally controversial, and the US media also admitted that Wei Shao should not be on such a list, even if the Lakers do intend to trade Wei Shao, but in the end they were not able to complete the transaction. The Lakers can't buy out Wei Shao, after all, even if the record this year is bad, the Big Three still has the possibility of fighting again, and once the buyout will make the Lakers bear meaningless expenses. The Lakers could seek to trade Westbrook this summer, when Westbrook's contract will be more valuable.
In addition, Wall was also unable to be traded due to his high salary, and he has not played any game for the Rockets this season. The Rockets also have two guards, Schroeder and Augustine, who are redundant with the Rockets in the case of the team's focus on cultivating Green and Porter Jr., and the Lakers intend to re-sign Schroeder.
Dragic is also triggering the intention of many teams, and the Spurs plan to reach a buyout with him, the Lakers are also interested in Dragic, and Bledsoe, Harris is also a lot of teams interested.
Flanks: Bazemore, Satoransky, Bemburi, Knox, Hood
Lakers player Bazemore on the wing has been marginalized, and once the Lakers want to buy out the market to recruit reinforcements, it is likely to cut Bazemore. As for Nets player Bemburi is also on the list, as well as Hood and Knox.
Inside: Jordan Jr., Favors, Lopez Jr., Hernangomez, Tristan Thompson, Millsap, Gion
In terms of the interior, the Lakers' inner line Jordan Jr. is on the list, and he basically has no chance to play in the Lakers now, and the possibility of being cut is extremely high. Millsap was traded to Philadelphia, there is still a possibility of staying in the team, and Lopez Jr. and TT and other internal lines, there is also a certain market.
