In this year's NBA All-Star Game, James's LeBron team defeated Durant's KD team, winning the All-Star Regular Game for 5 consecutive years, although Curry's 16 three-point and 50-point data is extremely dazzling, but what really determines the outcome of this game is actually DeRozan and James's key shots in the final moments, the two joined forces in the final stage to end the game with a difficult shot, but also made people realize that if the Lakers could get DeRozan, he would form a very terrible combination with James.
James wants to play with DeRozan is actually not a secret, in last year's offseason, there were rumors that James and Thick Brow are very eager to join forces with DeRozan, and DeRozan himself later said that he wanted to go to the Lakers to play, and even thought he was almost going to Los Angeles, but the Lakers finally chose Westbrook. Previously, many people thought that the Lakers were only a little bit away from DeRozan, but according to the latest news, the Lakers management did not seriously consider DeRozan.
Today, ESPN reporter Ramona Shelbourne reported on the relationship between Lakers management and Lakers forward LeBron James on a TV show, and revealed that the important reason why the Lakers missed DeRozan was that they were unwilling to give DeRozan a 3-year contract. Ramona Shelbourne said: "DeRozan, one of the recruiters, has never reached the point of near success because the Lakers are reluctant to offer him a three-year contract, which is also the new contract he finally got at the Bulls. At the time, it was fine because they had Westbrook's choice, and that was what everyone agreed on. But when things don't go well, you think back to some of the things they've turned down, some things they haven't done well, and I think that's part of the source of frustration as well. ”
Due to the Lakers' miserliness, deRozan eventually signed the Bulls by signing first and then changing, he signed a three-year, $81.9 million contract, and for the Lakers, if they were willing to offer DeRozan a similar contract, basically there was no problem getting the All-Star player. Ironically, the Lakers are reluctant to give DeRozan a 3-year contract, but they are willingly paying the retired Lordon an annual salary of 5 million every year.
The Lakers signed Rohr Deng in 2016, the contract size is 4 years 72 million, but in 2018, the Lakers chose to reach a buyout agreement with Roal Deng to free up space to sign stars, and his remaining salary will be paid in installments in the next few seasons, in recent seasons, the Lakers have to pay Lol Deng 5 million per year, and this salary is the team's salary space. From Lowe Dun to DeRozan, it can be seen that the Operation of the Lakers management is stupid.
Not only that, the Lakers management has not been honest with the two superstars on their team, according to Ramona Shelbourne, the Lakers management has been playing with James and thick eyebrows, he said: "Another problem between LeBron and the Lakers is that Dave McMenamin reported last week that Rob Pelinka said that the Lakers' idea of not acting on the trade deadline is in agreement with Davis and James. There's a difference between the two things: telling LeBron and Davis that we don't have chips, that we tried to make a deal that didn't work out, and that they approved of it. The idea that they are in agreement is somewhat odd, Dave McMenamin reported, and there is no alignment between them, citing sources who refuted the remarks as, 'That's totally false.' I think the Lakers need to fix the relationship with LeBron next.
To put it bluntly, the Lakers management led by Pelinka is throwing the team's poor reinforcements and incompetent operation to James and thick eyebrows, perhaps it is also such behavior that makes James sad, in 2020, James, who publicly expressed his willingness to end the lakers, has recently begun to change his mouth, and the future does not rule out returning to the Cavaliers, which does not blame James for backlash, no matter how you look at it, it is the Lakers management existence that forces him to use various blind operations.
