Just today the Lakers side ushered in the official announcement, the team has completed 2 signs and 2 cuts four operations in succession, Jordan Jr. and Dunbuya were cut, the team signed DJ Augustine, Vinyne Gabriel, for the Lakers' continuous operation, the fans are not very optimistic, some fans even use scrap acquisition stations to describe the Lakers, and fans said: The Lakers are really too miserable, either abandoned without the ball or the elderly scraps, no wonder the record can only be like this.
This season's Lakers record is very bad, currently they rank ninth in the West with a record of 27 wins and 33 losses, they are struggling for a playoff place, there are too many reasons for the Lakers' poor performance this season, the first is the problem of injuries, this season James and Thick Brow are all injured to varying degrees, recently Thick Brow will be injured again will be absent for a long time, other role players, Ariza, Nunn are all injured, Nunn is because he has not played this season, and the team's lineup problems, There are too many veterans, and the arrival of Westbrook has not had much chemistry with the team.
Jordan Jr. was previously playing for the Nets, in September last year, he was traded by the Nets to the Pistons, and then was cut, and finally the Lakers signed the veteran, the age is older, and the defense can not be defended, which is also the reason why the Nets gave up on him, the Lakers this time cut Jordan Jr. Also has a big reason for his defense, but sent Jordan Jr. and signed a 34-year-old DJ Augustine, in fact, it is difficult to change the status quo of the Lakers.
Another news, Thomas Jr. is back in the NBA again, recently Thomas Jr. performance in the development league is very eye-catching, he was elected last week's G League player of the best, averaging 41.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game, the Hornets signed him to a short ten-day contract, this season Thomas Jr. has signed contracts with multiple teams, but ultimately failed to stay.
In an interview today with Nets acting coach Jacob Vaughan before the game, he said nash is in good shape, and Durant has great hopes of returning this Friday or next Monday.
