Even if they are eliminated from the competition, the Lakers are still the focus of attention from the outside world. Especially after the management decisively fired all the members of the coaching staff led by Ham, everyone began to expect which coach the Lakers will hire before the start of next season, and what key changes they will make to the roster. Recently, some developments of Lakers players can also be seen that the current mentality of the entire Lakers is very positive.
James has a high probability of ending up with the Lakers!
After NBA reporter Shams reported that the Lakers were willing to offer James any form of contract with the highest salary, and the Lakers were also willing to select Bronny to help James fulfill his dream of being on the same stage as father and son, according to NBA reporter Stein, sources revealed that all signs at present indicate that James will re-sign with the Lakers. Whether he exercises his player option worth more than $50 million next season and signs a two-year contract extension or jumps out of his contract to re-sign, James' plan is to stay with the Lakers. In the words of Dream Green, he doesn't know what reason James has to leave the Lakers, and Green is pessimistic about the Warriors' idea of chasing James.
James' plan to re-sign with the Lakers is unexpected. And judging from the remarks made by Fu Paul (James' agent) that James will play for another 2-3 years, the idea of James being a Laker player for the rest of his life and retiring as a Lakers player is also very realistic. For an all-time top superstar of James' level, at this stage of his career, there is really no need to go to other teams in order to compete for a championship, which will only have a negative impact on his career. With the Lakers willing to spend a lot of money and meet all of James' needs, James' lifetime with the Lakers is easy to predict.
Thick eyebrows decided to restart their social accounts!
In addition to James, Anthony Davis, another core forward of the Lakers, also has a new update. has always been low-key with thick eyebrows, and he reopened his personal Instagram account. In mid-February last year, after the Lakers lost to the Trail Blazers, they closed his social accounts in a fit of rage. After that, the Lakers initiated a trade, and management traded Nunn for Hachimura, and then sent away Westbrook in exchange for Russell, Beasley, and Vanderbilt, and the Lakers reversed the decline and finally reached the Western Conference finals. Although the Lakers were eliminated by the Nuggets in the first round this season, at the level of thick eyebrows, he is no longer Jokic's "toy", and even after the whole series, in terms of personal offense and defense, thick eyebrows are not weaker than Jokic.
In addition, Thick Eyebrows decided to reactivate the social account after more than a year, in addition to his personal performance to clear the haze and get the support of fans (Lakers fans are mostly welcome back to the messages under the thick eyebrows social account), it can be seen that Thick Eyebrows must be very confident in the team's next lineup, which is a good sign.
Vincent takes a photo of an adult winner!
In addition to the thick eyebrows, Lakers backup guard Gabe Vincent also posted photos of him enjoying food through his social accounts. Fans can't help but sigh that Vincent is indeed a winner in life. The big contract was signed, he didn't have to play for more than half a season, he won the mid-season championship lying down, and finally came back, although the offensive state could not be found, but the defensive ability saved him some criticism. If the Lakers want to sacrifice Reaves, Russell and others to form a big three next season, then Vincent's role on the team will be upgraded, and he may even be the starter. Think about it this way, he is indeed a winner in life.
Pelinka has a lot of work!
There is no doubt that the biggest headache for the Lakers right now is their general manager Pelinka. With the management emptying the coaching staff and making a clear attitude, and the well-known reporter Shams reported for the first time that the Lakers will be very aggressive in the offseason. The Lakers players are full of confidence, and fans have great expectations for the next offseason. In this way, it would be too much to say if Pelinka was a tiger. First of all, he needs to determine the head coach before bringing in the new manager, and then work out the overall recruitment plan with the new manager. Then there's the formation of a new roster for the Lakers, who will have three first-round picks available for trade when they arrive at the draft, which could bring back a third star for the Lakers. The Lakers' roster is bound to usher in another round of blood changes, and Pelinka has a difficult task.
