On April 30, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued today, in a game that just ended, the Lakers and Nuggets fought again to the end, and the result was exactly the same as the series G2, Murray beat the Lakers again with a mid-range drift shot in the last 3.6 seconds, and the total score was 4-1 to advance to the second round of the West. And after the Lakers are out, it will cause 6 chain reactions.
Chain Reaction 1: For the first time since 2005, there was no one of James, Durant, or Curry in the second round of the NBA playoffs. In other words, the era of Janduku has really passed, and the NBA is about to change the dynasty.
Chain Reaction 2: James' Future. James and the Lakers have one year and $51 million left on their existing contracts, but James has a player option to jump out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent this summer. Although the possibility of James leaving the Lakers is not high, we must know that James's son Bronny has announced that he will participate in the draft this year, and it is not ruled out that he will draft his son's team in order for his son to enter the NBA.
Chain Reaction 3: Russell's Future. Russell also has one year left on his contract with the Lakers, but it is also a player option. It was already rumored that Russell would jump out of the final year of his contract and become a free agent. Originally, if the Lakers could achieve a comeback after falling behind 0-3 in the first round, and Russell contributed, the Lakers would definitely offer a contract extension with a high salary. However, Russell has been a ghost in this year's playoffs, and the Lakers will basically not offer high-salary contracts.
Chain Reaction 4: Hamm's Future. Hamm's coaching level this season has been criticized by many people, and it has become a consensus that his ability to adjust on the spot is not good. Let's just say that if the Lakers want to hit the championship, Ham definitely can't.
Chain Reaction 5: Prince and Dinwiddie. Both have signed one-year contracts with the Lakers and will become free agents this summer. Judging from their performance this season, it can only be said that it is remarkable, but the value for money is not very high. The Lakers probably won't stay.
Chain Reaction 6: Wood, Reddish, Hayes. All three signed with the Lakers last summer with a two-year salary and a second-year player option. They can jump out of their contract this summer or choose to execute the final 1 year of their contract. I guess most Lakers fans probably don't want them to stay.
Chain reaction 7: James and thick eyebrows can go to prepare for the Olympics in advance, there are currently 5 stars preparing for the Olympics, and they can form a starter: Curry, Booker, James, Durant, thick eyebrows.
