Perkins said on the podcast: "James is willing to take a pay cut in order to attract stars to join, but Lakers general manager Pelinka still hasn't got Klay Thompson. ”
2 days after the free market opened, why didn't the Lakers attract any weighty players to join?
In fact, when the Lakers selected Bronny with the 55th pick, spent 4 years and 32 million to sign rookie coach Redick, and planned to renew James with a 3-year 162 million salary cap salary, this series of operations discouraged 100% of stars.
Teacher Ma Jian is not afraid of recruiting Zhan Mi to scold, today he said the real reason in the media: "The Lakers are the most hated team in the history of the NBA by a certain agent team, and stars with an annual salary of more than 20 or 30 million will not come here, after all, the Lakers are not doing accurate things to win the championship at present." ”
Nowadays, the Lakers seem to have an obvious "nepotism", just like a family business in the workplace, if the company has a bunch of people who have no strength to rely on relationships, it is difficult for professional managers to succeed, after all, they have no right to speak!
Lao Zhan released cruel words through his agent Fu Paul, in order to win the championship, he was willing to reduce his 3-year total contract by 16 million to 20 million to help the team make important reinforcements.
But the Lakers can only save a 12.9 million middle-class contract through this negligible salary cut.
Who will come for this price? Clay, the annual salary is more than 16 million, DeRozan, people want a maximum salary of 40 million...
Therefore, the Lakers will not have any big operations this summer, and the main task is about to be completed, renewing Lao Zhan's contract with a maximum salary of 162 million for 3 years, and then waiting for the new season to start!
