On June 30, Beijing time, the NBA free market is about to open one day, in which Iguodala said, once Randle accepts a smaller role, he can't go back, I just take less money because of sacrifice, Jordan Jr. revealed the farce of blocking the door, Pierce squatted at the door of my house and said, you won't leave before you sign. Just now, the Los Angeles Lakers list was officially released, superstar LeBron James was blamed by Perkins, and Wu Sheng suggested pursuing Paul George and Butler to form a triumvirate to impact the championship.
According to the latest report from the Register, through the confirmation of his agent, D'Angelo Russell has officially decided to exercise the player option for the 2024-2025 season and continue to stay with the Los Angeles Lakers, partnering Anthony Davis, Reaves and LeBron James, while general manager Pelinka is actively sending the former away and has not included him in future plans. It should be emphasized that in addition to D'Angelo Russell, backup center Hayes also chose to exercise the player option, did not want to become a free agent, entered the trade market, and was more satisfied with his future with the Lakers.
It is worth mentioning that LeBron James, a superstar who has had a lot of happy events recently, was once again blamed by Perkins, who said so. The current problem with the Los Angeles Lakers is that every coach, even superstar LeBron James himself, has been saying for three years that he has been talking about starting tactics around Anthony Davis, and making him comfortable, giving him the keys to the car, saying that the team is using him as the star, but the former has not let go of his rights, he still sits in the passenger seat with a shotgun, and you can't drive while someone has a shotgun.
You have to know that in addition to this, former NBA player (Martial Saint) Stephen Jackson gave advice to the Lakers in an interview, and he said so. I'm going to pick a guy who can score and defend, like Jimmy Butler and Paul George, to take the pressure off LeBron James and get him back to the No. 1 position and continue to keep the ball. In the 2023-2024 season for the Miami Heat, Butler averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and George averaged 19.5 points, 6.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game.
Now, with the Los Angeles Lakers on the roster, perhaps out of the free market, D'Angelo Russell chose to exercise the player option for next season and continue to play in Staples, but general manager Pelinka is non-stop and actively wants to send him away, while backup center Hayes also stays, the latter is safe, and superstar LeBron James is once again accused by Perkins, which is obviously a bit funny. It should be noted that the Martial Saints suggested bringing in Paul George or Butler, I have to say, he knows how to strengthen, will he come to the Lakers?
