On March 2, Beijing time, the free market began to be active again, the Lakers finally changed, in the past night to sign 2 consecutive people, the lineup was fine-tuned; another signing came from the Hornets, they signed a 10-day short contract with Thomas Jr., which is also the third time that Thomas Jr. signed an NBA team this season, it is really not easy.
The Lakers signed Augustine
After a 28-point defeat to the Pelicans, the Lakers were once again in chaos, and coach Vogel also had the possibility of getting out of class. In the end, Pelinka only fine-tuned the lineup, cutting Jordan Jr., and then signing fully with free agent Augustine, that is, replacing the center with a guard. Augustine has played for the Rockets this season, was cut at the trade deadline, and as a veteran, he is also a veteran with a 40.6% three-point shooting rate this season. Judging from this signing, the Lakers are still not very satisfied with Wei Shao, or want to make some changes.
In addition to signing Augustine, the Lakers also made adjustments to the two-way player, cutting Dunbua and signing Gabriel.
Gabriel has played for the Nets and Clippers this season, playing seven games and averaging 2.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. For this adjustment, the Lakers just want to make the lineup more than one internal player, to prevent the emergence of a shortage of employees, and then they can also come up to the top to make up for the vacancy.
Jordan Jr., who was cut, wasn't worried about running out of balls, and the 76ers in the East were interested in him and wanted to sign him off as Embiid's replacement. The 76ers have focused on the Lakers in recent seasons, first Howard and Drummond, and now want to sign Jordan Jr. Both Howard and Drummond had excellent performances during their time with the 76ers, and the role of Embiid's bench was very competent. This time it depends on whether Jordan Jr. can continue, as long as each game comes to the top for about 10 minutes, his experience may help the team.
The Hornets signed Thomas Jr. to a short 10-day contract
According to Woj, Thomas Jr. will sign a ten-day short contract with the Hornets, which is also his third return to the NBA this season, after signing with the Lakers Mavericks, but unfortunately failed to stay. In recent times, Thomas Jr.'s form has been very hot, playing for the Nuggets' subordinate team, and has scored 124 points in 3 games. Averaging 41.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in three games, he shot 52 percent from the field and was named last week's G League Player of the Week.
Such a hot performance also won him the attention of the Hornets, and eventually the two sides reached a short contract, depending on whether he could grasp it, and then signed until the end of the season.
