The Los Angeles Lakers' record of 33 wins and 49 losses this season ultimately missed the playoffs, which is also james' second time since coming to the Lakers that he missed the playoffs, and it is also the only two times in his career. This season, the Lakers have taken the nostalgic route, and a group of veterans have joined the Lakers with a basic salary, all hoping to get a coveted championship trophy in the Lakers at the end of their careers. But in the middle of the season, James and Anthony Davis were plagued by injuries, and the Lakers' record was getting worse and worse, and eventually they did not even qualify for the playoffs. This season is still a losing season for the Lakers.
Admittedly, James is getting older and older, and he can't carry the whole team forward alone, as he did on the Cavaliers before. And the main interior Davis is like the glass man, injured at every turn, it is conceivable that the Lakers' record can be better. Regarding the group of veterans who joined, only Melon Anthony has played well this season. This season has played a total of 69 games, averaging 26 minutes per game, can get 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.7 steals and 0.8 blocks, shooting 44.1%, shooting 37.5% from three-point range, hitting 149 three-pointers in a single season, as a player on the bench, Anthony bears the main offensive burden.
Regarding Anthony, the voices of doubt from the outside world have not stopped. Careers have fallen off a cliff, even to the miserable point where no team wants. Since joining the Thunder, and then turning to the Rockets, being abandoned by the Rockets in a short period of time, and then no one caring, resting for a long time, just when everyone thought that Anthony was going to end his career like this, he came back step by step at the end of his career with his own efforts, and it was obvious that his efforts were admirable. And in exchange for the return it deserves.
On April 26, Beijing time, Sean Deveney reported that Anthony plans to continue to compete for one season, and his first choice is the Lakers. Anthony is comfortable playing and living in Los Angeles, and he's very happy with it. Of course, regarding joining the Lakers, Anthony still has conditions. His condition for staying with the Lakers is that the team must make changes this summer, and the head coach must make adjustments accordingly. After the end of the season, the Lakers also ended the cooperation with head coach Vogel, and for the current Lakers, it is inevitable that they will make adjustments in the summer. Unsurprisingly, James and Anthony Davis will definitely stay with the Lakers, who now need to find a third scoring point and strengthen the team's defense, and the point guard is also in urgent need of strengthening. All in all, the Lakers have a lot to do this summer.
