According to ESPN, Klay Thompson has decided to sign with the Dallas Mavericks for three years and $50 million. This means that in the previous report, James's favorite three big-name stars were all signed by other teams, so the salary cut promised by Lao Zhan is naturally impossible to talk about. In addition to Townsend, James Harden stayed with the Clippers for $70 million for two years, while Valanciunas joined the Washington Wizards for three years and $30 million. In the end, with a full mid-range worth of $12.95 million per year, he failed to get any of the above three, the team failed to strengthen, not to mention, James will give up a salary cut, which has caused dissatisfaction among Lakers fans. In particular, the Lakers management stated that they were still waiting for the "big fish", which made the fans feel that they were eating in the corpse position, and for a while, the lake pipe became the target of public criticism.
After scolding and scolding, after calming down, I can't help but ask a question: Lao Zhan named three people, none of them came to the Lakers, is it really a problem with the Lakers management?
First of all, Harden goes without saying. The Clippers management has long had a clear idea of how to operate, George is leaving, they did not panic, and methodically used 2 years and 70 million US dollars to keep Deng, signed Derrick Jones with the full middle class, and signed back the veteran "French Pippen" Batum for 2 years and 9.6 million US dollars. It can be said that in the case of reducing expenses, the integrity of the lineup was ensured as much as possible and the vacancy in the rear forward line of General Qiao was made up. Therefore, compared with the orderly operation of the Clippers, the Lakers are indeed at a disadvantage, and they do not have bird rights, early bird rights, and they can't get a contract extension to attract Harden at all, so it is inevitable to accompany them.
Let's talk about the soup god. The Lakers are not without effort, and they are willing to give Klay an annual salary of $20 million, provided that the Warriors agree to sign and trade with the Purple and Gold. Don't look at the fans of the Lakers and the Warriors, the relationship between the two management is okay, after all, they are not like the Nuggets and the Mavericks are championship-level teams, so they are reluctant to make a fuss about Pope's signing - the problem is that the Lakers' trade plan is too cold, and the main body of their chips is Russell, Shuila has played in the Warriors for a year, and when he heard his name, the Warriors management suspended the negotiations. In the end, Klay chose the Mavericks, who had a better average salary of $17 million and had a better chance of competing for a championship. The Purple and Gold Army has no choice, even if Tang Shen's father Michael Thompson can't help his old club with all his strength, it can only be said that there is no fate.
Finally, there is the Great Valan. Some fans may say that there is some truth in what has been said earlier, Valan went to Washington with an average annual salary of only $10 million, depending on how you are round. To be honest, I was quite surprised by this signing, and I can only say that Valanciunas has no intention of playing in the big cities at all. In fact, there is another piece of information that many people may not know. It is Lao Zhan's wishful thinking to join forces with Valan, and the former himself is unwilling...... Varan once publicly mocked James with actions such as "crying nose" and "fake falling" on a certain show, which shows that he doesn't look down on Lao Zhan in his heart, let alone playing with him, which is not difficult to explain why Da Varan would rather take 3 years and 30 million to a bad team like the Wizards, rather than play with the full middle class in the spotlight of the City of Angels.
So, the reluctance of the above three big names to come to the Lakers is really not all a problem with the Lakers' management. It's just that only two days after the free agent market opened, several key figures have a next home, and the Lakers have ended up running with them, which is really embarrassing. Pelinka, think of a way!
