1 sign and 2 cuts!The Lakers made a decision in 13 games and 10 losses, and the new 14+2 lineup was released, and the two were devolved
On January 7, Beijing time, due to various factors such as injuries, personnel status and coach arrangement, the Lakers have been in poor shape recently, with only a 3-10 record in the past 13 games, and the team's ranking fell directly out of the top ten play-off areas in the West.
Faced with such a situation, the Lakers management made a decisive move and completed 1 signing and 2 referees to adjust the 14+2 roster.
According to Woj, the Lakers have signed Dylan Windler, a forward swingman for the Westchester Knicks, a development league team under the Knicks, to a two-way contract.
Dylan Windler, who is 1.98m tall, was born on September 22, 1996 and is currently 27 years old.
It is worth mentioning that in last Friday's game, Dylan Windler broke out with an exaggerated statistic of 23 points and 33 rebounds in a single game, which is most likely the reason why the Lakers tried to bet on him.
With the Lakers currently on roster with three players on two-way contracts, league rules require the Lakers to cut at least one of Castleton, Hodge and Fudge.
So shortly after Woj's signing was announced, another big guy revealed that the Lakers would cut two-way contract player Funch to free up Dylan Windler's position.
Fudge has only played in four games for the Lakers this season, all in garbage time, averaging 1 point and 0.5 rebounds per game.
As a result, when the Lakers officially announced the results of the layoffs shortly after, not only Fudge was laid off, but another Hodge, who was on a two-way contract, was also cut.
Hodge has been in a similar situation to Fudge this season, playing in seven games for the Lakers, averaging just 2 points, 0.7 assists and 0.1 steals per game.
Then the Lakers officially announced that the team officially signed Dylan Windler.
After signing him, the Lakers' new 14+2 roster is as follows
Official contract (14): James, Bushy Eyebrows, Russell, Hachimura, Reaves, Vincent, Vanderbilt, Prince, Hood Schifino, Wood, Hayes, Reddish, Christie, Lewis;
Two-way contract (2 players): Castleton, Vindler.
At the same time as completing the two cuts and one pick, the Lakers officially confirmed that the team once again delegated Schifino and Lewis.
The former, as the No. 17 pick, only played in 8 games for the Lakers this season, averaging 8.6 minutes per game, scoring 2.3 points, 1 rebound and 0.6 assists, in stark contrast to No. 18 pick Jaime Jr., No. 19 pick Podemsky and No. 20 show White Devils.
It's just that these subtle operations obviously can't change the situation of the Lakers, whether to change the coach, whether there is a follow-up large-scale reinforcement is the key.
According to Jake Fischer on the show, there are more and more doubts about Ham within the Lakers, and many people think that he is not someone who can help the team through the difficulties.
James, who was also caught in a public opinion turmoil, was in a good mood, first posted a picture of his 39th birthday party on social media, with the text: "Shut up and enjoy life to the fullest!"
Later, it was revealed by Fredo Cervantes, and James was busy watching Bronny's game against Stanford University.
