The Lakers have lost again, and to be honest, now this team gives people a feeling of breaking cans, defensive efficiency is not as good as before, the offensive end is fighting separately, James's score has skyrocketed, and the team's record has steadily declined, and there is no hope at all. The Lakers are facing such a situation, to be honest, the impact on James, thick eyebrows and other people is not too big, even if it is a failure, after all, people take tens of millions of dollars in salary, but some players with basic salaries do not have such a good treatment.
At the beginning, many people chose to join the Lakers with a basic salary, in order to want to follow James to mix a championship, of course, some people simply want to plate the gold, to put it bluntly, they also want to find a little sense of existence and popularity around James, but with the deepening of the season, coupled with the current poor record, I am afraid that the players who chose the Lakers will be disappointed.
Veterans such as Anthony and Howard don't have to worry about their own livelihood, after all, their maximum salary has already been soft, but it is more embarrassing to have another player, yes, he is Munch.
After being selected by the Hornets in 2017, Munch's treatment is not too stable, after four seasons, Munch only played a starter in the Hornets, although many teams have asked for Munch's offer, but all were rejected by management, so the Hornets squeezed all the value of Munch, after the expiration of the 4-year rookie contract, Munch finally chose the base salary to join the Lakers. To be honest, Munch had the opportunity to sign a good contract, but he just wanted to prove his ability, and Munch's original joining was also regarded as one of the Lakers' most valuable signings.
Munch averaged 13 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season, shooting 46.6% from the field and 40% from three-point range, all of which reached the best data of his career, it is clear that Munch got the attention and data he wanted around James, perhaps the only regret is the Lakers' poor record now, everyone knows that Munch is here to gild, although he played a good data, but the Lakers did not take off with Munch.
Finally, after the Lakers lost to the Suns by a big score, Munch was still angry, he felt that the team did not have a sense of urgency on the defensive end, and many players, including himself, were not working hard. Whether Munch is satisfied or not, in fact, his purpose has been achieved, in the absence of thick eyebrows, Westbrook is depressed, Munch has become the strongest knife guard around James, and the record can not hide Munch's ability.
If the Lakers ended the season in this way, then the Lakers will surely usher in a round of purges, but it is almost certain that Munch is one of the few positive asset players, for Munch he has more options, leaving the Lakers to choose a competitive team, or staying with the Lakers to get more growth.
But Xiao Feng feels that it is difficult for the Lakers to keep Munch, James, Thick Brow and Wei Shao have occupied more than half of the Lakers' salary, Andew wants to trade out and must match some of the team's assets, but this is not what the Lakers want to see, if things are true, then how big a contract can the Lakers give Munch, now Munch is 24 years old, he has not yet received a big contract, the Lakers have experienced this season's encounter, will there be players willing to join the base salary next season? Will the Lakers still have the ability to keep Munch? Even if there is, does Munch want to stay with the Lakers?
Poor record let the Lakers dig their own graves, not only lost the present, but also lost the future, and the Lakers salary pressure is too large, doomed to only make small repairs, for Munch, instead of supporting here, it is really better to sign a big contract, leaving may not be the best choice, for the Lakers, they are only embarrassed, want to stay but can not stay, and finally lift the stone to drop their feet.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
