Seeing a list on December 7, Russell's plus/minus of minus 48 ranks as low as the league's all-time ranking tied for 9th, a little dumbfounded?
If you want to clearly realize whether Russell still has a place in the Lakers, you must review the truth of the ins and outs!
My post is about Russell no less than 30, late last season, I came to a conclusion through a number of data research and analysis that Russell has become a negative asset for the Lakers, and this post has been quoted by many self-media.
Before the playoffs, I pointed out that Russell will be a big problem for the Lakers for a long time, and the Lakers know that Russell's defense is a big hole, and they can't stop him from playing as a starter, and they will definitely renew Russell's contract in the offseason!
Pelinka's careful thinking has two points, one is that the Lakers ruthlessly swept Russell out of the house and had a bad reputation, and if he repeats the mistakes of the past, it will be detrimental to the Lakers' reputation and re-recruiting stars. The second is that Pelinka wants to cover up the failure of his business logic, if he does not renew Russell's contract, the result will be equivalent to Wei Shao leaving the team as a free agent, Pelinka made a stupid deal in the offseason, and bought a 4.6 million Van der Biao with 4 first-round protection signs 27 years ago!
Hamm's careful thinking is that he thinks that Wei Shao is not suitable for playing the main team, and he still can't play a role after playing the substitute, and people can't help but ask, is it Hamm's incompetence in coaching or Wei Shao's incompetence? Even if it is determined that Wei Shao is incompetent, Pelinka has replaced you again, and Ham began to praise Russell, why can't he play the starter even if he plays Russell, who is this incompetent?
So Pelinka and Ham only tacitly reused Russell, which is closely related to the fact that the Lakers were shaved by the Nuggets! It also led to the fact that Russell has to be the starter now, and even when renewing Russell's contract, it is very likely that he will sign Russell's league under the city that must play the starter! Russell has also lowered his stature, and he has a good reputation on both sides, and Pelinka is also famous for being shrewd, and even made a god because of this!
Until now, you still think that renewing Russell's contract is to prop up salary space, but it can only be said that Pelinka has covered up the truth quite deeply! For example, he first gave Hachimura a three-year contract with an annual salary of 17 million, but in fact, one purpose was to set the negotiation standard for Russell's heart's price! Renewing Russell's contract at a slightly higher price than Hachimura's contribution also fully reflects Russell's respect! Jianghu and people are sophisticated, and they will not be different because of skin color and ethnicity!
I'll tell you the truth about this, Pelinka would rather renew Hachimura for three years at an annual price of 1700 than renew his contract for four years at a low price of 15 million, which has already shown that Hachimura is not in the Lakers' long-term plan, the timing and deal are right, and there is a possibility of trading Hachimura at any time! The main reason is that Pelinka is prepared with both hands and wants to get back the first 4 first-round protection picks in the first 27 years that he was fostered out, and the logical reasoning is to figure it out yourself!
Pelinka had to pay for the mistakes he had repeatedly made, and the handling of the Russell problem was put in the first place, which also derailed the Lakers' championship logic! Russell's pain could not be traded, and he still had to continue to hide and strategically cover people's eyes! For example, let Rivers play as a substitute, do you really think it is completely based on the theory of the ball? Can Ham really do this?
Can Pelinka redeem himself, and can Russell not pretend to wave a towel happily in the fourth quarter?Time has been unlocked, can each other be untethered?#Headline Creation Challenge##Los Angeles Lakers##Lakers Championship#
