In the regular season, the Lakers only finished 33-49, ranking 11th in the West without qualifying for the playoffs and playoffs. Earlier today, Sean Deveney reported that Anthony plans to continue playing for another season, and that staying in Los Angeles is Anthony's first choice.
Anthony reportedly feels comfortable and satisfied both playing in Los Angeles and living in Los Angeles. So his future choice is to play another season in Los Angeles. However, the premise of Anthony's stay with the Lakers is that the team should change, and the problem of the team lineup and head coach must be solved.
But sources say that while Anthony's first choice is the Lakers, his options are also completely open. Anthony also has the option to join the Clippers, having worked with Clippers star George as a teammate with the Thunder. However, the general view within the league is that if Anthony chooses to stay in Los Angeles, he will most likely continue to play for the Lakers.
In the just-concluded 2021-22 season, Anthony played a total of 69 games for the Lakers, averaging 26 minutes of playing time per game, can get 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.7 steals, 0.8 blocks, shooting 44.1%, shooting 37.5% from three-point range, and hitting a total of 149 three-pointers in a single season, he is the main scoring point for the Lakers bench.
Since the end of the season, the Lakers have fired their meritorious coach Vogel. At present, the Lakers are actively looking for a new coach and looking for trading possibilities to strengthen the lineup. There are indications that the Lakers will make some changes this summer.
