October 17, Beijing time, last season, the Lakers' record could not even enter the playoffs, and their performance was disappointing. The Lakers had three big names: Westbrook , Davis and James . Such results are not reasonable at all. In such a situation, what causes it?
Recently, according to statistics from the US media Hoopshype, 9 of the Lakers' last 17-man roster have not received new contracts, which means that the Lakers' unemployment rate is extremely high, because this data ranks first in the league, and other teams have only produced at most 4 unemployed people.
This shows that the reason why the Lakers' poor record last season was not only because of the incompatibility of the Big Three and the injury problems, it can be said that the Lakers' lineup configuration is also at a disadvantage. Otherwise, why have so many players not found a suitable team so far in the new season? After all, it's a matter of strength.
The nine players are Cameron Anthony , DJ Augustine, Kent Bazemore , Avery Bradley, Wayne Ellington , Dwight Howard , Stanley Johnson , Mason Jones and McCross. There are also Rondo and Ariza . Previously, it was abandoned by the Lakers.
Among these players, it can be said that they do not have much combat power, so they are given up by other teams. Among them, the only one worth taking is the 38-year-old Anthony . Last season, he averaged 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1 assist per game, with a shooting percentage of 44.1%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 37.5%.
But Anthony's defense is not good either, so the Lakers' defense is not strong. Therefore, for the Lakers, it is reasonable for the Lakers to have poor record last season. After all, the player lineup is already poor, so what can I use to achieve good results?
