free market was opened, and many free agents had a home overnight, and there were two unexpected signings earlier today, both from the Lakers. Let’s take a look!
There was a "strange thing" earlier today. Howard, who has always stated that he will stay with the Lakers, is very abnormal today. You must know his role. The Lakers management is watching. It has been reported that Pelinka contacted him three times a week. He can stay! Earlier today, he personally tweeted that he would return to the Lakers country, but he quickly deleted it, saying that he had not made a decision and was still considering!
then his agent revealed that he would go to the 76ers with a one-year contract of 2.6 million and become Embiid's substitute! This kind of news is too shocking. First of all, there have been no rumors between the 76ers and him before. In addition, Howard changed his words too quickly. The US media ridiculed the "Little Jordan of 2020". We don't know what, but we can get a glimpse of the news from the media!
reporter David Aldridge was the first to report that Howard’s contract was still an unsecured contract, but he later changed it to a secured contract and apologized to the outside world. So it is likely that the result of his previous negotiations with the Lakers was still a basic salary + partial guarantee contract, which led to Howard chose to leave! In the previous video connection, he said that he wants to guarantee the contract and does not want to continue working for free. No matter how he wishes, without the team atmosphere of the Lakers, I don't know if he will still maintain the same attitude as last season!
However, the Lakers immediately made a decision. After Howard announced his departure, they began to negotiate with Pope for a contract extension. According to Lakers reporter Ramona Shelburne, the team's contract extension dialogue with Pope was fruitless. But despite this, they still strengthened the interior and quickly signed the former Clippers Super Six Harrell with 2 years of 19 million. Last season, he scored the best sixth man with 18.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists. When
arrived in the playoffs, his performance was greatly compromised. He was completely blown up by Jokic and bullied by Boban. The weakness of insufficient height was infinitely magnified, and there was also a conflict with George! But anyway, as a substitute insider, with athletic ability, good offensive rebounding ability, it is good to be a substitute firepower. Compared to Howard, the defensive help he provided to the Lakers may be extremely limited, but the offensive end is obviously better.
It is worth mentioning that after his contract extension, Beverly tweeted "What?" It seems a bit unbelievable. After all, the two teams are opponents in the same city. This is tantamount to changing the direction and widening the gap between the two teams. The city derby is even more interesting. But with Howard leaves the team, it may take more time for the thick eyebrows to appear in the center position!
