Today's Lakers are still in the process of crazy competition for the playoffs, as of now the Lakers ranked tenth in the West, their competition for the playoffs is still very grim. And now the Lakers are suffering from injuries. James also missed the last game due to knee pain, Davis is still in the recovery stage, the Lakers are now strictly speaking, there is also a lack of major generals, recently head coach Vogel revealed the injury situation of the team's players, when talking about Nunn Vogel bluntly said that he still has no comeback schedule.
In fact, in the strict sense of the word, Nunn has basically announced reimbursement this season. Nann didn't play a single regular season game for the Lakers this season. Although he holds an annual salary of 5 million, he acts as an audience. It didn't help the Lakers substantially. And if the Lakers can't make the playoffs this season, it means that Nunn will end his journey with the Lakers this season as a spectator.
When it comes to Nunn's annual salary, many fans feel very angry and confused. Nunn signed a two-year contract with the Lakers after the end of last season for tens of millions of dollars. His annual salary this season is $5 million. Many fans believe that if the Lakers had taken these salaries to renew Caruso's contract after the end of last season, then the Lakers' defense would not have become so bad this season. And after the end of last season, Caruso is very willing to stay with the Lakers. But the Lakers didn't show sincerity to renew Caruso's contract, they just wanted to save money.
Caruso's departure has disappointed many Lakers fans with the Decision of lakers management. Nunn's current season reimbursement is actually strictly speaking, but also the Lakers management's decision-making has paid a price. Imagine if Caruso is still in the Lakers, then the Lakers will never become so weak in the defensive ability of the front, and the Lakers fans have always liked Caruso very much, whether it is his role on the court or his personality, so until now many Lakers fans are still very confused.
Many people have been taking responsibility for the Lakers' poor record this season, but in fact, strictly speaking, it is all due to the Lakers management. If they hadn't dismantled last season's defensive lineup, perhaps the Lakers would still be in the top four teams in the West this season. It was such a decision that changed the trajectory of the Lakers this season. Let them fall into the situation they are now, so the person who should be most responsible should be the management of the Lakers, and one of their decisions changed the whole of the Lakers.
