Lakers fans finally landed. On December 4, Davis formally completed a five-year $190 million maximum salary renewal with the Lakers. Prior to this, James also renewed his contract in advance of $85 million in two years ( Effective from the 2021-22 season), so far, the defending champion Lakers have basically completed the offseason reinforcement work, next season they only need to pay a luxury tax of 3 million! I have to say that the Lakers general manager Pelinka has done a very good job...
So, what is the Lakers lineup now? Can you securely win the 2020-21 championship? Look at each position specifically:
center position: Gasol, a total of 1
forward position: James, Davis, Kuzma, Harrell, Morris, Dudley, McKinney, Kacock, letters Brother, a total of 9
guard positions: Pope, Matthews, Schroeder, Caruso, Tucker, a total of 5
At first glance, some people may think that the Lakers' center position lacks rotation personnel, in fact, the thick eyebrows. Both Davis and Harrell can play the role of center in a short time when Gasol is off the court. Of course, it would be great if the Lakers could trade for other inside players through basic salary or trades!
Generally speaking, the Lakers' lineup has a certain degree of "shortage" compared to last season, but the flexibility of the lineup and overall scoring ability have been significantly improved, and it is indeed an out-and-out favorite to win the new season!
