So far in the NBA's new season, although Munch has averaged 8.5 points per game, he can average 1.7 three-pointers per game, which is the highest in the team except for James and Anthony.
In addition to the three-point production, Munch also has both the ability to hold the ball and attack without the ball.
The data shows that the effective shooting rate of both possession and no-ball offense so far in the new season is 57.1%. From the data, there is no difference.
From the above data, considering that he is only the basic salary. Even if it is not the Lakers this summer, it is definitely very cost-effective.
The Lakers got Munch, who could use it so well, obviously thanks to Jordan for his generosity.
This summer's offseason, when Munch's rookie contract expired, the Hornets did not provide a qualification offer. In this way, he became a full free agent and was eventually taken by the Lakers with a base salary.
Now with Ariza's injury, it can be said that the Lakers' third position is stretched, so should Jordan, who is the boss of the Hornets, be a good person to do it to the end?
In fact, there are really good third positions in the Hornets at the moment, such as Oubre.
So far this season, Oubre has been able to suppress the opponent's shooting percentage at 44.9% under the defensive position, including 28.6% of the three-point shooting rate.
The good performance on the defensive end can be said to change the performance of the previous offensive and defensive weaknesses.
And the third position like Oubre is exactly what the Lakers need: young, athletic, and physical condition.
As just said, if Jordan Joe boss is a good person to the end, the Lakers will get it in a 3-for-1 way with Tucker + Ellington or Nunn + second-round picks.
In fact, in my opinion, the Lakers still have a good chance of getting Oubre. This is because the latter has the right to jump out of the contract next summer, and once this happens, the Hornets will not get anything. It's just that you can still get some chips in the middle of the season trade.
Of course, whether the Lakers will make this 3-for-1 deal depends on Ariza's performance after his comeback. If it effectively makes up for the third position, then the deal will not be pushed forward, otherwise the Lakers management will go all out to promote it.
