With the Lakers missing out on the playoffs, their season has basically ended prematurely, and this season the Lakers have experienced an extremely disappointing season, both at the team level and from the player level. At the team level, they did not play well, and even failed to enter the playoffs, and at the player level, many players did not get reused after coming to the Lakers, and they also experienced a depressed season.
Of course, when it comes to players with no ball to play, we must emphasize Bazemore. Bazemore had a very good season with the Warriors last season, so much so that the Warriors were willing to offer him a relatively good contract extension in the offseason. But Bazemore resolutely refused the Warriors' contract extension, but instead joined the Lakers with a basic salary contract. In Bazemore's view, he believes that the Lakers are more capable of competing for the championship.
Bazemore, who joined the Lakers, was reused by Vogel in the early stages, but as the game progressed, he was gradually marginalized, and even eventually developed into a situation where there was no ball to play. Bazemore played just 39 games in the whole season, many of which were garbage time appearances. He's averaged just 3.4 points per game this season, a big drop from last season's Warriors. Of course, all this is due to the lack of playing time.
Presumably, The current Bazemore is very regretful of his original choice. If he stays with the Warriors now, maybe he can get a steady playing time. Cole still trusted him a lot last season. And playing next to Curry and Thompson will give him more comfortable shooting opportunities and can also play his defensive end. But now Bazemore has reached an irreparable situation, and all this can only become empty talk. And even more serious is that he may face a situation where there is no ball to play in the future.
Since Bazemore has been in deprecated form all season, his form this season cannot be used as a reference. Even after the end of the season his contract expires and he becomes a free agent. I'm afraid that many teams will not choose to sign him. After all, he didn't have a good season performance as a support. He may fade out of the league like many players and become unplayable. Sometimes a choice can really determine a player's fate. A bad choice for Bazemore did destroy his career.
