Unconsciously, the teams' schedules have been played more than 60 times this season, which means that there are still more than a dozen regular season games to go to the end of the season. The Lakers have a 28-37 record this season and are currently in ninth place in the West. After the end of last season, the Lakers should be the most significant team in the league, and they almost made a big change of team. At this stage of the season, there are many players who have basically been abandoned by Vogel.
But it is worth noting that there is a player who joined the Lakers after the end of last season and has not played a single game until now in the new season, and this player is Nunn. Nunn has been in an injury situation this season. Head coach Vogel revealed that Nunn is unlikely to make a comeback before March, and even his return date is difficult to determine.
Many fans joked that Nunn did not come to the Lakers to play, but to go on vacation. And he came on vacation with a contract of ten million. After the end of last season, Nunn signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Lakers. His contract this season is worth as much as $5 million. Taking this $5 million annual salary to Vacation in Los Angeles is indeed a dream thing that many players dream of.
According to the current situation of the Lakers, they are likely not even to reach the playoffs this season, which means that the Lakers may have more than a dozen games to finish the season. And Nunn is also likely to end his journey with the Lakers this season as a spectator. And Nunn's contract next season is a player option, and he has the opportunity to decide where he goes. If the Lakers fail in the offseason, or if James leaves the Lakers in the offseason and the Lakers completely lose competitiveness, then Nunn may also choose to leave the Lakers.
Even if Nunn returns now, Vogel will certainly not use him a lot, after all, he has not played for a long time, and it is difficult for his state to recover quickly after his comeback, which may further affect the lakers' competitiveness on the court. And the reason why Nunn was abandoned by the Heat, his shortcomings are also very clear. Of course, as far as Nunn is concerned, he also needs a big stage to show himself. The Lakers are such a huge stage. It is also possible that he will stay with the Lakers next season, after all, there will be more attention here. It will help him make a fortune in the future.
