Luo Media predicts that Munch may be sent away: the value of the transaction will rise, but it is not in the Lakers' future plans

This season, Marik Munch is one of the few highlights in the Lakers' lineup. He is one of the few players in the team to increase the value of the transaction, and the Lakers are a little desperate today, but the team urgently needs to make some changes, and Lake Show Life recently wrote an article predicting that before the trade deadline, the Lakers may do some shocking trading operations, such as sending Munch away.

Munch's performance in some of the games this season has been amazing, but under Vogel, Munch's value still doesn't seem to be maximized. Munch has played in nine starts this season, during which time he has performed exceptionally well, averaging 18.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 50.9 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range.

While it's hard for Munch to maintain such a great personal performance all the time, Munch played very comfortably during the starting period and there was a very good chemistry between him and James. But since returning to the bench, Munch hasn't scored more than 14 points per game, and he's averaging just 10.3 points per game.

As we all know, Munch has never been a defensive player, so now the Lakers prefer to start with Bradley. But in fact, Bradley's defensive plus-minus this season is only +0.1, while Munch is -0.7, the difference is not much, if the Lakers do not intend to maximize the use of Munch, then the Lakers may tell Munch about his future plans.

Munch, though, is because he's one of the few players on the team to trade, and his trade value may never have been higher. Recently, most of the Lakers' trade rumors have been related to Tucker, but Tucker has not performed well this season. The Lakers have missed the best chance to trade Tucker, and it's ridiculous to send him away now, especially after the team gave up Caruso and renewed his contract.

In the Lakers, Russell Westbrook has no trade value, while James and Anthony Davis are obviously not for sale, Kendrick Nunn is still recovering from injuries, which will only continue to reduce the possibility of him being traded, howard's value is for those playoff-level teams, and whether it is a championship team or a rebuilding team, Munch will have good value. Munch's trading value may never have reached its current height, and Pelinka may now be aware of the problem, and it's time to hit the iron while it's hot.

The third reason is that Munch is likely not to be a part of the team's future, and whether the Lakers trade Munch this season, there is a high probability that he will not return to the team next season. If Munch returns next season, he may need to continue signing a base salary with the team.

As mentioned earlier, Munch's value has never been higher than it is now, and although the Lakers have not fully utilized his ability, there are certainly other teams in the league who see his value.

If Munch is willing to lower his salary, it is difficult to imagine that the basic salary will return to the Lakers. After this season, it will become more difficult for the Lakers to compete for the championship next season, the Lakers will not be able to give Munch a larger contract, and next season, Westbrook's annual salary will reach $47.1 million, which will definitely limit the team's further reinforcements. Munch is unlikely to stay with the Lakers at a price below market price, which is also a decisive factor for the team to trade him.
