Lakers' outlook: James and other five people will remain, and Kuzma and other two people will be traded. 1 It depends on the situation?

The NBA finals are in full swing, but for the Lakers, the season is over because they were eliminated prematurely.

Looking back on the Lakers this season, we can intuitively see the three-point problem from a fan's point of view.

Data display:

The average number of three-point shots per game (3 1.2) is 24 th in the league;

The average three-point shooting rate (1 1. 1) ranks 25th in the league;

Average three-point shooting rate (35.4%) League 21;

Obviously, the data can be intuitive, but any data related to three points, the performance of the Lakers is the existence of the middle and lower reaches of the league or even the countdown.

Therefore, in my opinion, the Lakers management will definitely adjust the team for the lack of three points during the offseason. After all, the two cores James and Thick Eyebrows need enough space to ensure the efficiency of the attack.

Even, in my opinion, the Lakers management will make a lot of adjustments to the team this summer. On the one hand, as just said, there are obvious shortcomings; On the other hand, many players, including Schroeder, have expired their contracts.

Here we might as well make a prediction on the trend of the Lakers this summer. Of course, this is just my personal opinion.

In my opinion, James and Thick Eyebrows will definitely stay in the team. After all, this is the framework and foundation of the team and cannot be abandoned.

Although caruso's offensive ability is average, his defense is relatively good. To be honest, with James present, Lakers players should think more about defense than offense. Only the characteristics of caruso can be satisfied. In addition, if the Lakers have his complete bird rights, they can directly renew their contracts.

Like caruso, it seems to me that Mackler Mo and Tucker will stay. Although Mackler Mo's technical characteristics are relatively simple, his good three points can still bring some help to the team. Moreover, his renewal price is not expensive, and the basic salary may be slightly higher than the basic salary.

Although Tucker Jr. has some problems, he showed a good ability to hold the ball when he was only 20 years old. To tell the truth, this is worth cultivating. Moreover, because it is the second round of the show, it is relatively easy for the Lakers to keep Tucker under the "Arenas Clause".

In other words, the Lakers management will leave James, Thick Eyebrows, caruso, Mackler Mo and Tucker Jr. this summer.

Those who stay in the team are bound to leave.

In my opinion, Kuzma will be traded this summer for two reasons:

First of all, Kuzma has made little progress in the past two seasons, and will start to earn tens of millions a year next season. Obviously, compared with the rookie contract, this cost performance is not high;

Secondly, as I said just now, many Lakers players' contracts expired this summer. Then in the case of trading, the only player who can be found is a player with a contract. If Jamie can't trade, then only Kuzma has a contract with Pope.

Of course, of these two points, in my opinion, the first point is the most important. To put it bluntly, the performance is not very convincing, which makes the management gradually lose patience. To say the least, if Kuzma holds the ball.

If it improves, I believe it is unlikely that the Lakers management will trade him, but his ball control has not improved, resulting in his extremely unstable performance.

Correspondingly, Pope will also be traded this summer. The reason for being traded was similar to that of Kuzma, mainly because the performance failed to meet expectations. Watching the game, regardless of the three-point efficiency, at least after the opening opportunity appeared, we lacked confidence and dared not make a move. This will further promote the opponent's determination to fight against Mei. To some extent, Popper didn't help the core.

In other words, the Lakers will trade Kuzma and Popper this summer.

Finally, let me talk about Schroeder.

Although the Lakers have his complete bird rights, they can support the salary space after completing the contract renewal. The salary space is large, and subsequent signing will be much more convenient. But the problem is that Schroeder's performance did not meet expectations, especially in the playoffs.

So whether the Lakers management will keep him depends on the situation.

If the price of renewal is right, then the priority must be renewal. After all, as I said just now, this can support the salary space.

However, if the contract renewal price is not appropriate, or there is a good opportunity to sign first and then exchange, such as involving star players like Lavin or Demar demar derozan, I think the Lakers management will still trade or give up Schroeder. After all, we can't lock in the future signing space simply to support the salary space.

In other words, whether Schroeder can stay in the Lakers this summer has two reference points: the price of renewal and whether there is a good opportunity to sign first and then change.

Generally speaking, after an imperfect season and the expiration of several players' contracts this summer, the Lakers management will definitely make a lot of adjustments to the team. In my opinion, James and Thick Eyebrows will stay, Kuzma and Pope will be traded, and Schroeder will depend on the situation. Of course, these only represent my personal views.
