After a failed season, the Lakers are likely to face personnel adjustments this summer, especially the departure of a group of veterans. Now according to US media reports, Bazemore stood up for James, saying that it was wrong to blame James for the Lakers' loss, and also believed that James did not get the respect he deserved, and Bazemore also expressed his desire to return to the Lakers next season.
In response to the outside world's accusations and criticism of James, and even blamed James for the Lakers' failure, Bazemore stood up for James. Bazemore believes, "James is second in the league in terms of points per game this season, what else do you want him to do?" His physical condition has been through a lot this year and he has done a lot to fight around us. He's done a lot for the game, he's provided a stage for a lot of people and he's changing the world. ”
Injuries and chemical problems have plagued the Lakers throughout the season, all in all, the Lakers not only did not enter the playoffs, but also did not enter the playoffs, the outside world naturally expects the Lakers in the 2022-23 season to be different. In order to do that, the Lakers will likely have to make some major changes to their lineup this summer.
Bazemore's future on the team is certainly up in the air, as the veteran, who became a free agent this offseason, recently talked about the idea of wanting to return to the Lakers, "I'm going to say that there's nothing better than being a Lakers player, right? Bazemore said. Every day when I go to training, I can see Kobe Bryant's number hanging on the wall, which is a good encouragement for me... There's nothing better than that, man. ”
Bazemore had an unforgettable season in 2021-22, playing just 39 games and averaging just 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game. Efficiency was a struggle for him along the way, as he shot just 32.4 percent from the field.
But in his career, Bazmore averaged 8.2 points and 3.2 rebounds per game, shooting 41.3 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from three-point range.
Bazemore would certainly love to be part of a competitive team next season, as he still wants to win his first NBA championship. So far, Bazmore has played for five teams during his NBA career.
