The regular season has entered the final stage, but for the Lakers, the victory or defeat of the game has not mattered, because they have been out of the game in advance, the Lakers with a luxurious lineup have played so badly, I don't know how many Lakers fans have been disappointed, on the surface, the Lakers' defeat is because the lineup is in an incomplete state for a long time, but the poor defense plus the aging lineup is the last straw that overwhelms the Lakers, although they don't want to admit it, but now many people have already set their sights on the next season. For example, our protagonist today, Munch.
Why Munch wants to join the Lakers, is actually to seek a chance for himself, to be honest, in the Hornets for four years, Munch's performance is not bad, but the crowded guard line makes it difficult for him to have a place, and finally after the end of his rookie contract, the Hornets did not provide Munch with a qualification offer, and eventually became a free agent. To be honest, Munch does not lack a family, nor does he lack a big contract, but he just wants to put a little pressure on himself and finally chooses to join the Lakers for $1.79 million a year.
In fact, Munch's intention is very obvious, first, los Angeles's exposure is very high, this season Munch averaged 13.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, has grown into the Lakers' fourth scorer; second, the original Lakers were once optimistic by fans and the media, if they can mix a championship here, it is a kind of improvement for their career, and finally Munch chose to put his fate into his own hands to fight.
I have to say that Munch's luck is very good, if it is said that in a healthy state, Munch will not have such a high playing time, but the Lakers have suffered a serious wave of injuries this season, which provides good conditions for Munch's outbreak, and finally this time Munch seized the opportunity, not only showed himself, but also laid the foundation for the future, if there is no choice this time, maybe we will not be familiar with what kind of player Munch is, but after this season, I believe that Munch's offer will not be too low, unfortunately, The Lakers want to keep Munch basically not much of a possibility.
The Big Three occupy most of the Lakers' salary space, and this season's failure has made the Lakers recognize their shortcomings, let's leave the Lakers can not leave Munch, what is the most lacking thing for the Lakers? Xiao Feng feels that it is defense, to tell the truth, the Lakers do not lack offense, and even their offensive efficiency is very good, and the Lakers' reinforcement focus next season must be to improve the defense, unfortunately, Munch does not belong to this type of player, not that Munch is not good enough, but that Munch is not the target of the Lakers' reinforcement.
This season, Munch's offensive efficiency of 112.8, belongs to the level of the upper middle and upper reaches, but his defensive efficiency is only 112.6, not too qualified defender, in fact, the most important point is that the Lakers are completely uncompetitive in Munch's offer, not that the Lakers do not want to keep Munch, if you can really stay, let him take the second team is actually a good choice, but after this season's experience, there will be more teams will offer him a big contract, and for Munch himself, his goal of coming to the Lakers gold plating has been achieved, and then it is ready to meet the first big contract in his career.
For Munch, he is lucky, after all, such an opportunity is not everyone can grasp, Nunn, Bazemore, they also want to come to the Lakers gilded, the final fight is only their own upgrade, sometimes it is like this, when the opportunity arises, not everyone can grasp, the iron still needs to be hard, no matter at any time, improving themselves is the king.
After a season, not only let us re-acquaint ourselves with Munch, the most important thing is that we have found self-confidence, playing next to James, Thick Brow, Munch is still like this, just imagine, if you change a worse team, Munch's tactical status can also be upgraded to a level, he is only 24 years old, the future that belongs to him is far from coming, if one day Munch can play in the All-Star Game, don't be surprised, because he has such conditions.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
