The Lakers are about to start the offseason after missing the playoffs. Now many people are paying attention to the whereabouts of Wei Shao, and it is still very difficult for the Lakers to trade Wei Shao, after all, Wei Shao can decide to stay next season. Aside from Westbrook, the Lakers have a lot of players whose contracts this summer will expire completely and become free agents. And once these players do not renew their contracts with the Lakers, the Lakers' lineup will usher in a major change next season.
Some of these free agents have played very well with the Lakers this year, such as Anthony and Munch. Anthony has averaged 13.3 points per game this season. The three-point shooting percentage is 38 percent, and Munch can average 13.8 points per game with the Lakers this season. The three-point shooting rate has even reached 39%, and these two players seem to be an important guarantee for the Lakers on the scoring end this season, and their average points per game are also ranked fourth and fifth on the team. So once the two of them leave next season, it could have a big impact on the Lakers' offensive end.
Anthony has taken the veteran's base salary this season, and if the Lakers are willing to continue to provide him with a basic salary contract, then Anthony will surely accept it. After all, he may not be able to sign a big contract at this age, and after all, his defensive ability is not strong, and he knows it himself. The Lakers have no reason not to keep Anthony this season, the Lakers can get a small salary to get such a veteran who still has offensive ability, why not enjoy the Lakers management. So Anthony will most likely renew his contract to stay with the Lakers, and James can continue to play brother basketball with Anthony.
Munch will most likely not stay with the Lakers, after all, he is very young this year when testing the free market he will definitely get the favor of other teams, next season he will most likely get a big contract. The Lakers may be difficult to provide him with a big contract due to salary space, so he should have no suspense about leaving the team.
In addition to Munch and Anthony, Bazemore, Howard, Bradley and Ellington will also be fully free agents. Two of the four players left the team, Bazemore and Ellington. Whether Howard stays in the team depends on who the manager is next season, and Bradley can stay in the eyes of many fans, after all, his shooting is relatively stable and defensive ability is also good. I don't know what kind of personnel the fans think the Lakers will operate in this offseason, which players should be left behind and which players should be abandoned?
