On April 14, Beijing time, the Lakers failed to score a playoff this season, but general manager Pelinka said in an interview that he would continue to build a team around James and Thick Brow this summer, and promised to form a suitable lineup for Zhan Mei as in the summer of 19 years. However, the signing is not yet scored, and the Lakers may lose a big player in this offseason, that is, Munch.
This season, Munch has averaged 13.8 points per game and shot 39.1 percent from three-point range, while he's only made $1.79 million this season. Last offseason, almost no one except the Lakers gave Munch a contract, but it's clear that this offseason, he may be chased by multiple teams as a popular free agent.
NBA reporter Sean Deveney revealed that there are already at least 4 teams ready to pursue Munch this summer, namely the Knicks, Bulls, Cavaliers and Mavericks.
The Knicks may find a way to send Fournier and Walker away in the offseason, and need a pitcher from the backcourt. The Bulls, Cavaliers and Lone Rangers are thriving and will be influential in the free market.
It is worth mentioning that Munch once apologized to Lakers fans after playing the last regular season game of the Season and said, "I still want to play in the Lakers next year." "So if the salary is the same, considering the exposure of the Lakers, Munch should still stay with the Lakers."
But the problem is that the Lakers can give Munch a mini-mid-class exception of $6.4 million in the offseason, and if other teams give Munch more than $10 million contracts, the Lakers want to keep him, I am afraid it will be difficult.
