Who would have thought that the Lakers would have a hard time even making the playoffs this season! Now the Lakers may even fall out of the top ten in the West, and may not even play the playoffs. The Lakers have failed so badly this season, who is the most injured? Some people will think that james, think that he wasted the peak of his career, others will say that Wei Shao, not only played poorly, but also was scolded miserably. But I think Anthony, James and Westbrook are at least holding big contracts, anyway, at least the money is in place. However, Anthony was tragic, originally thought that joining the Lakers could impact the championship, but he did not expect that it was such a situation now, and he once again chose the wrong choice.
In the offseason, Anthony has a variety of options, he can choose to stay in the Blazers, or he can choose to join strong teams such as the Warriors. But Anthony chose to join the Lakers on his own initiative and listened to the recruitment of his friend James. Anthony has said that James is an important factor in his joining the Lakers. After Anthony joined the Lakers, he was also very excited, and later he also sighed, "I still can't believe that I am a Laker." It can be said that Anthony has great expectations for joining the Lakers, hoping to win the championship with his good brother and complete his championship dream.
In order to help the Lakers win the championship, Anthony is taking the veteran's basic salary, which is the minimum requirement! However, how much was expected at the beginning, how disappointed it is now. Anthony couldn't imagine that the Lakers were playing so badly, let alone the championship, and even the playoffs were difficult. In fact, Anthony played well in the Lakers, as a contract with a base salary of 2.64 million, Anthony played an average of 13.6 points per game, 4.1 boards and 1 assist. And there is also a 38.9% three-point shooting rate, Anthony played better than Westbrook a lot of times, Anthony did everything he could, but unfortunately still could not lead the Lakers to the championship.
Like against the Blazers, Anthony scored 24 points. Anthony suffered an injury in the back, and the tendon injury kept Anthony out for a while. Seeing the Lakers continue to lose, Anthony quickly returned, and returned to the first game to get 18 points and 5 boards, three points 9 shots 4. The Lakers, however, have consistently lost, scoring 18, 13, 20 and 13 points in the last four games. Unfortunately, the Lakers lost in the end and got a losing streak. Anthony is actually the owner of the Lakers' empty slash group, he has stood up from the bench many times, hoping to lead the Lakers to win by himself, but it is a pity that he can't move!
Anthony is now powerless, and now that he's 37 years old, he can't play like he did at 27. Anthony actually wants to win, remember when the Lakers lost, Wei Shao and James had a laugh on the bench, and Anthony was lonely, very uncomfortable, such a comparison has also triggered heated discussion among fans, can't imagine that Anthony with a basic salary wants to win more? Unlike James, Anthony is now 37 years old and has not yet won a championship, he can retire at any time, others can waste time, but he can't afford to waste it. Judging from the current situation, Anthony, you have chosen the wrong one again.
Anthony's career has been selected by the wrong team many times, such as when he left the Nuggets, he chose the Knicks, after leaving the Knicks, he also chose the Thunder, and then chose the Rockets, almost allowing himself to retire directly. It was not easy to get reborn in the Blazers, and I didn't expect to choose the Lakers again. Anthony was really wrong again and again, and let himself get farther and farther away from the championship. In Anthony's current form, maybe he can play a season or two, wait until next season, I hope he can choose a really strong team! The chances of him leaving the Lakers are still great.
