This season's Lakers record is not particularly good, and the team's performance can even be said to be very disappointing. At the end of the season, the team immediately sacked head coach Vogel, and the team will continue to change in the offseason, and it is unknown whether the role players will be able to stay in the team except for the big three. Judging from the current state, the Lakers want to keep the toughster Malik Munch, but now it seems that the difficulty is not small!
According to the US media Evey reporter Sean Deveney wrote an article analyzing the current situation of Munch, he said that Munch's worst market in the market this year is also a middle-class contract, and has the opportunity to get a 3-year 32 million US dollars or 4 years 45 million US dollars contract. But if the Lakers want to keep Munch, then they need to convince Munch to accept a $6.2 million a year contract, because the Lakers can offer him the biggest contract is so much!
And for Munch, he didn't receive offers from other teams last offseason, only the Lakers, so he came to the Lakers. And in this offseason, there should be a lot of teams interested in him, and at the moment the Knicks, Bulls, Cavaliers and Mavericks are all interested in signing Munch, and compared to them, the Lakers have no advantage at all!
If the Lakers want Munch to stay, they must persuade Munch to overcome three major difficulties, the first is that next season Munch will cut his salary by nearly half, from an average salary of more than $10 million to $6.2 million in 1 year, the gap is still very large! The second is whether the Lakers are still in turmoil next season, what kind of changes the team's performance will have, these are all unknowns, if Munch wants to go to a team with a stable record, the Lakers are not a too good choice! Another point is that if you sign a $6.2 million contract for 1 year, you have to take on the risk of injury for a season, and if there is an injury problem, it is very difficult to sign a big contract afterwards!
So from the current point of view, the Lakers want to keep Munch is very difficult, no matter which point of view, Munch seems to be less likely to choose to stay in the Lakers!
