Bamba signed a 1+1 year 20.6 million contract with the Lakers last summer, and the 2023-24 season is completely unguaranteed.
So before the Lakers chose to cut Bamba and let him enter free agency.
Bamba earned $10.3 million a year last season, but played only 9 games, averaging 9.8 minutes per game, shooting 1.2 of 3, and finishing with only 3.7 points, 4.6 boards, 0.4 assists and 0.6 blocks.
So, it's understandable that the Lakers chose to cut Bamba???
Although the absence of more than 41 consecutive games is required, the insurance company needs to help pay about 80% of the salary (depending on the team's insurance). But insurance companies that undertake NBA insurance, which also have 14 denied seats a year, can refuse glass players who are often injured, and if this type of player is injured, the team is fully responsible for the salary.
The palace seriously suspected that Bamba was on this list of refusals
Anyway, signing Bamba last season, the Lakers should regret it.
However, after Bamba was cut by the Lakers, the 76ers quickly took over.
The contract is 1 year, no accidents should be the base salary.
There is an interesting phenomenon, I don't know if the secretaries have found it.
The league's center has a closed-loop rule, the magic is trained, given to the Lakers, the Lakers run out, and then passed to the 76ers
The 76ers have signed a center the Lakers don't want for the first year in a row?
Signed Howard in 2020
After Howard chose to return to the Lakers in 2021, the 76ers signed Zhuang Shen, who had just been abandoned by the Lakers
Signing Harrell in 2022 is also an interior lineman who was waived by the Lakers.
It's Bamba's turn this year...
For 4 consecutive years, 76ers are really not ordinary persistence.
Howard averaged 7 points, 8.4 boards and 0.9 assists per game during his season with the 76ers
Zhuang Shen played more than half a season with the 76ers, 49 games, averaging 6.1 points, 8.8 boards and 2 assists per game
Harrell averaged 5.6 points, 2.8 boards and 0.6 assists this season
It's not too successful, so do you understand the persistence and persistence of the 76ers?
