On April 14, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and the Los Angeles Lakers, who have been out of the game early, have not left too many good memories this season, and the only shining point is Malik Munch. His performance on the offensive end is eye-catching, but this summer he will be a free agent and test the free market.
The 24-year-old is interested in staying with the Lakers, and in an interview he revealed that the Lakers' management has had a brief communication with him about the contract extension.
"It's really comfortable to play with the Lakers, no matter where it's or how little money you have, it feels like you're back home." It really felt like home on the final day of the regular season, and on the contract issues, I knew what I could do on the court, maybe I could get out of here and make more money, but really finding the feeling of being at home was what I always wanted. Munch said.
After becoming a free agent last summer, Munch was uninvited in the free agent market, and finally the Lakers gave him a one-year salary contract, which gave him a home. Now facing a contract that is about to expire, Munch does not use money as the key to the contract extension, but this season he has averaged 13.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game, and his three-point shooting rate has reached 39.1%, becoming an offensive weapon on the Lakers' outside line.
I believe that the Lakers will raise some contract prices for him, but there will be other teams that will give Munch a higher salary, and it will be up to him to decide whether to consider staying in the team.
