After being eliminated by the Suns in the first round, the Lakers entered a crazy reinforcement mode in the offseason, first betting on the star of Wei Shao through the trading market to create a big three of Wei Shao + James + thick eyebrows.
Subsequently, he signed three veterans Ariza, Ellington and Howard with a one-year base salary in the free market, and quickly completed the promotion of the lineup.
At the same time, the Lakers did not stop the pace of reinforcement, signed another person, and invited melons, and the 41-year-old veteran also called out to the Lakers.
According to the famous Shams report, after signing three veterans in succession, the Lakers signed another veteran Bazemore.
Last season, Bazmore played for the Warriors, playing in 67 games and averaging 7.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game.
Despite playing a limited role, Bazemore performed well on the perimeter, shooting 40.8 percent from three-point range.
Reporter Mark Medina followed up and pointed out that before signing the Lakers, the old club Warriors also tried to keep Bazemore and offered him a higher contract, and the number of years prevailed.
But Bazemore is more bullish on the Lakers, believing that the Lakers are better title contenders next season, while the Lakers have also promised that Bazemore will play an important role.
After completing a series of signings, the Lakers lineup has 8 people with guaranteed contracts, and 7 of them are 32 years old and older.
The number of players over the age of 35 has reached 4, which is also the first time in the history of the Lakers that there are at least 4 players over the age of 35 in a single season.
Players aged 36 and over will reach 3, and Howard will also turn 36 this year, when the Lakers will be the team with the largest number of players over 36 in a single season since the 2016-17 Cavaliers (9).
At the same time, the Lakers have not stopped the pace of reinforcements for veterans, according to the famous Marc Stein report, the Lakers have made an invitation to Anthony.
In addition, Anthony has also received an invitation from his old club, the Knicks, and melon is currently weighing both options.
Last season, melon played in 69 games, averaging 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds per game, shooting 40.9 percent from three-point range, and playing in six playoff games, averaging 12.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game.
However, the Lakers' successive signing of veterans has been questioned by the outside world, and Pelinka was once on the hot search.
Some veterans and media practitioners have also publicly ridiculed the Lakers, and even the Lakers' own reporter Bill Oram also posted a joke, saying: "Judy Meeks is still waiting for the phone at home." ”
Another accompanying reporter, Harrison Faigen, also publicly ridiculed the Lakers, saying: "It's time to sign Chris Carman back." ”
Kaman played for the Lakers in 2013-14, averaging 8.6 points and 6.5 rebounds per game, but he is now 39 years old.
While ridiculing the Lakers with the team reporters, some veterans also ridiculed the Lakers' series of signing actions through self-recommendation.
Among them, Richard Jefferson publicly said: "I am ready @ Lakers", 41-year-old Richard Jefferson has been retired for 3 years.
