After reaching a buyout agreement with the Warriors in the NBA regular season, drummond joined the Lakers with a salary, just to compete for the championship. Drummond obviously didn't expect the Lakers to be eliminated in the NBA playoffs in advance, and in order to get a huge contract renewal from the Lakers, he has rejected the Lakers' previous clear contract renewal rules. However, for the Lakers, they may have to deal with the problem that many football players' contracts expire at the deadline. If we only give drummond a big contract, it is obvious that they will immediately lock in their salary indoor space.
At first, Bauer was originally prepared to renew his contract with the Pelican in advance, but the Pelican did not regard Bauer as a future part of the football team. After Ingram's brilliant performance, he and Zion became the key to the Pelican strategy, and the existence of veteran Bradso also endangered Bauer's debut time. Pelicans have long been looking for opportunities to buy and sell Bauer, and then exchange some more suitable role players for the football team, and the Lakers have now found a third big brother, which is likely to hit it off with each other.
For the Lakers, Bauer's technical characteristics have long been well understood. After several seasons of tempering, Bauer's offensive efficiency and offensive choice have also been greatly improved. The most important thing is that Bauer's defensive ability is mobilized little by little, and the center and frontcourt of the Lakers must have an excellent passer and defender. What's more, Bauer also partnered with LeBron James during the Lakers period, and there is no problem in understanding the strategy of the football team.
The early elimination of the NBA playoffs made the Lakers aware of the necessity of closing the trading deadline, and also noticed the direction of the transfer. Bauer is young enough, and he is also of great value in shaping and using. At that time, the Lakers let him into the business in order to better balance the business of thick eyebrows. There is still a chance to bring him back to the team. Once the Lakers form the Big Three again, they may become the strongest contenders for the championship again next season.
