Lakers successfully brought back Morris with a 1-year veteran's basic salary.
Since playing with the Suns, the Morris brothers have used a bank account together.
Previously, after four years of 64 million renewal of the Clippers contract by Little Morris, he tweeted Brother Ai Te: "This 64 will be very good in the joint account. You can double it! @马基夫"
Big Morris' reply is: "This is awesome, but I will get the second ring!"
You are responsible for making money, and I am responsible for winning the championship. Morris will kill him, so cruel.
Last season, the Lakers were not as good as the Clippers on paper. But the Lakers were more united and humble, and eventually won the championship.
And this season, although the Clippers are also strengthening, they upgraded Shamet to Kennard, Harrell replaced Ibaka, and now seems to be chasing Rose. But the Lakers' reinforcement is more thorough. After Pelinka's great shifting operations, the Lakers' paper strength has already turned the Super Clippers.
plus the thick eyebrows who will definitely return to the team, the Lakers now have a lineup of at least 12 people specified by the league. They are:
point guards: Pope, Caruso
shooting guards: Schroder, Matthews, Huo Dayton Tucker
Small forward: James, McKinney
Power forward: Thick eyebrows, Kuzma, Morris
Center: Jr. Gasol, Harrell
The Lakers can drain Pop, Matthews, James, The starters of Brother Thick Eyebrow and Little Gasol. The main rotations are Caruso, Schroder, Kuzma, Morris, and Harrell. If Horton Tucker can raise the ball, he can also squeeze into the rotation. As for McKinney, Vogel will definitely give him some opportunities in the opening stage, but if he can't catch the chance, there is no way.
Although the Lakers still have 3 signing quotas, they will definitely keep 1 to the mid-season buyout market. In addition, they have to sign the locker room leader Dudley back, so there is actually only 1 left that can be used to continue strengthening. Places.
According to NBA reporter Dave McMenamin, after signing Gasol Jr., the Lakers also want to introduce another center, so that Big Eyebrow can play the fourth position throughout the regular season.
The Lakers are now mainly supported by Gasol and Harrell. Because of his age, Gasol needs to save playing time. Each game is about 15-20 minutes. Harrell is young and strong, playing every game for 25-30 minutes. Coupled with the occasional cameo by Morris, under normal circumstances, the problem is not big.
But in the long regular season, injuries, back-to-backs, etc. must be considered, and it is indeed necessary to add a center. Originally this position should be reserved for Howard. But now it's useless to say anything, Howard has gone to the 76ers. Available on the free agent market are Dedmond, Da Baibian, Chandler, etc. It remains to be seen what the Lakers will choose. Many fans at
are puzzled. The Lakers have strengthened all positions. Why has James not been on the bench. In fact, the Lakers did the same last season, and James was the only one at the small forward position.
I have to sigh here, James' attendance rate is really high. Even though he was 35 years old last season, the 28-year-old Xiaoka’s attendance rate is not comparable to James.
In addition, we have all seen that there are Big Eyebrows, Kuzma, and Morris at the power forward position, which are actually a bit overflowing, and Kuzma is a young man that the Lakers value very much.
So in the following season, Kuzma is likely to become the first substitute for James and Big Eyebrow. In addition, Matthews can also top James' position. It would be even better if McKinney could grow up and last for 3~5 minutes. So James has no substitute problem, it's not a big problem.
Of course, if Ariza can flow into the buyout market and then join the Lakers, it would be even more perfect!
