Dudley joined the Lakers with a base salary of 2.6 million, how do you evaluate the Lakers roster?

The Lakers now have an overall core facelift that has been formed, but the team's support players still need to be strengthened, and the Lakers want to impact the next championship only by relying on the current plastic surgery, although the help is strong, but without the cooperation of other auxiliary players, it is impossible to play well on the court, so I think the Lakers are now looking for some powerful auxiliary players.

Dudley is a typical 3D player, and the Lakers were able to sign him with a base salary of 2.6 million, which is relatively cost-effective. Now the market price of this typical 3D player is generally around 5 million to 6 million, basically the Lakers' lineup is relatively perfect, and there is still a lack of a typical center, the most basic starting lineup is almost complete, but the bench lineup is still much worse.

The Lakers don't have enough depth in their roster, and it's obviously unrealistic to rely on just two supergiants, James and Anthony Davis, basketball is a team sport, and it's hard to play the team without some reliable role players to help the team play the best results. The Lakers will also have to bring in some players who are suitable for the team to strengthen the shortcomings.

The 33-year-old Dudley is obviously past his prime, and as a veteran, the Lakers should mainly focus on his defensive and game experience, which is still helpful to the Lakers.

The current Lakers have two superstars, James and Davis, but the depth of the roster is still not enough, after all, basketball is a game of five people, and it is difficult to win the game without good role players. <>

The Lakers have added a lot to the addition of James, and this year they have the addition of thick eyebrows, the two All-Star lineups are already very good, and there is also a new star player Kutzma, but getting together a starter is still a problem, and we can see which player will join in the future.

What we can be sure of is that the Lakers now have two superstars on board, James has absolute dominance, and Bushy is one of the top interior players in the league today, and there is also a rising star Kutzma.

But we're not sure if Jr. will join the Lakers chasing a championship. And the Lakers are now in a serious shortage of players, and they need to bring in a large number of players, and Dudley's base salary is naturally good news. After the small card joins, they still need a good bench lineup, and if the small card does not join, they need a very important role player.

The current lineup can only be said to have the core decided, and the supporting roles are to be selected. James and Brother Thick Eyebrows are undoubtedly the core, and it is very likely that Xiaoka will come with guns in the future. How to assemble a chemistry roster around the core players is a problem for the Lakers.

Due to the suspense of the small card, the Lakers did not dare to make a move on the free market. You can only sign a veteran like Dudley who can have a certain amount of immediate combat power.

On December 1, Beijing time, according to the latest news from ESPN, Dudley returned to the Lakers with a veteran base salary of 2.6 million for one year. In the 2019-20 season, Dudley played in 45 games for the Lakers, starting only one of them and averaging rebounds per game. Dudley only entered the NBA in 2007, but he feels like a true veteran.

Perkins spotted the shining point of Lao Du, and he immediately tweeted congratulations: "If you can find your niche like Dudley and make a difference, then you will have a long career." No matter what team it is, you can't give up a player like that, Dudley is really valuable.

Thinking about it calmly, Dudley and Howard are both veterans with base salaries, and it is obvious that Master Huo will help the team more. When the free market first opened, if the Lakers could keep Howard, plus the thick eyebrows and the newly signed Gasol Jr., this interior configuration could be proud of the league. Now there is only Gasol Jr., and the Lakers have to find another interior player.

According to NBA salary expert Bobby Barks, it is assumed that Bushy Eyebrows will renew his contract with a maximum salary after signing DudleyThe Lakers still have $2.9 million in room left, just enough to sign another veteran with a base salary. Bobby Barks also said that the Lakers may not be signing any more players this offseason, and that space can be left until mid-January. So the question is, when will the thick eyebrows be renewed?

According to NBA reporter Marc Stein, AD will meet with the Lakers as early as Tuesday local time. Another reporter, Ramona Shelburne, said that the main reason why Bushy Mei has not made a decision is because he has not thought about the length of the contract. It is also reported that the thick eyebrows are waiting for Brother Alphabet to make a decision.

If Brother Alphabet does not renew his contract with the Bucks, then Thick Eyebrows will sign a 1+1 contract with the Lakers. Wait until next summer, Bushy Eyebrows and James jump out of contract together, and then recruit Brother Alphabet to play for the Lakers. If Brother Alphabet renews his contract with the Bucks this year, thick eyebrows and the Lakers will sign a 2+1 contract.

Seeing that the new season is about to start, Brother Alphabet has not renewed his contract so far, and Thick Eyebrows will not wait for him any longer.

There are several contracts with the Lakers, but salary experts have calculated them in advance: 2 years (1+1) $68 million; 3 years (2+1) billion; 4 billion years; 5 billion years. The amount of the contract is not a problem, the two sides will not dwell on this, how much the Lakers can give, it depends on how thick eyebrows choose the length of the contract.

No matter when he signs the contract, the return of thick eyebrows to the Lakers is a foregone conclusion, and other teams can't take this big fish. Former NBA player Jalen Rose said: "The Clippers have been doing pretty well in the offseason, they signed Morris to a new contract, Kennard to bring in Kennard and to sign Batum.

Objectively speaking, the Clippers are the second strongest team in the West, and the Lakers are still the boss.

"I'm back" looked at the momentum of these words, and I didn't know that I thought that the Lakers had completed Brother Thick Eyebrow's contract, and Brother Thick Eyebrow announced that he would return to the team, but in fact, what he said was that Dudley, a veteran who barely played in the Lakers last season and averaged only 1 point per game, was ridiculed by many people and finally defeated other candidates and returned to the Lakers. Dudley's return also made many fans question the Lakers, both with a base salary of 2.6 million, why did the Lakers not keep Howard, but chose Dudley, who hardly played? Well, please listen to me in detail.

Judging from the role of the player on the court, Howard must be better than Dudley, in last year's playoffs against the Nuggets, Howard became a wonder soldier, his restrictions on Jokic gave the team a lot of help, although the average performance of 7+7 per game is lower than in the past, but the effect is still obvious.

And what about Dudley's side? There were two things Dudley did most often last season, the first was to support James's remarks, and the second was to average a triple-double of throwing towels + handing water + high-fives per game. Heading into the playoffs, neither the Lakers nor Dudley were ready to let this guy play.

Under such a premise, why should the Lakers waste this money?

The first is that Howard and Dudley don't have the same needs. Howard doesn't think he's old, he still wants a contract, a bigger contract, and all of this needs to be proven by his performance, so Howard needs playing time and a tactical position, and when Harrell and Gasol Jr. arrive, this is something that the Lakers can't give him. What about Dudley's side?

He dared to promise that he would not play for a season, and for Dudley, if he could play for a year, he would earn an extra year.

The second is that the team needs different roles. As mentioned above, with Harrell, it is difficult for the Lakers to meet what Howard wants, and Howard's role almost overlaps with Gasol Jr. and Harrell. And Dudley's role in **?

Dudley's role has never been on the court, his role in basketball is training off the court, of course, his most important role is in the locker room, maintaining the unity of the locker room, improving the cohesion of the team, the Lakers need someone to do such a thing, just like the role of Mu Twilight in the slam dunk, and Dudley can do this job perfectly.

It's all $2.6 million, signing Howard can only be a duplication of functions and a waste of money, and signing Dudley, a player who can't play, can help the team get some trivial things, which is why the Lakers chose Dudley, on the road to defending the title, Dudley will be the hero behind the scenes, which Howard can't do.

The Lakers signed veteran Dudley for $2.6 million a year, which is actually reasonable and unexpected. As a veteran, Dudley still has a big role in the locker room, and he still can't do well in the construction of team unity, but as an athlete, he really can't play much role on the field.

Because the Lakers felt that Howard was not useful, they chose Dudley.

Because Howard already has a team that gives a pretty high ** willingness to get him. So the Lakers had no choice but to choose Dudley as the second option.

Dudley could bring the Lakers closer together. Because Dudley is very good at communicating with his teammates, sharing his game experience and experience with the team's young players, guiding them how to survive in this league and protect their teammates, when there is a conflict between teammates and opponents in the game, Dudley can play a very important role at this time, he can unite the whole team and make the team more team spirit.

Dudley is a veteran, and he actually has limited help for the Lakers on the court, but he is a locker room leader who has played a big role in bringing everyone together and moving forward.

Dudley is mainly a stability in the dressing room, he basically does not play, and if there is a conflict on the field, he will immediately rush to block it.

Dudley can harass opposing players to cover his teammates on the field, and can rotate tired players on the field when he is resting off the court. His role is more like the team's bodyguard.

Gave them a good tactic and has received a good technical boost after his guidance.

As an NBA veteran, Dudley has a high scoring and rebounding percentage, as well as the number of games played in previous games, and joining the Lakers may increase the Lakers' championship hopes.

On December 1, Beijing time, according to ESPN, multiple sources revealed that forward Jared Dudley signed a one-year, $2.6 million contract with the Lakers. At the same time, Dudley himself also wrote on social ** today: "I'm back.

In fact, it is not surprising that the Lakers will sign Dudley with a veteran base salary, and the two sides have previously intended to renew the contract, coupled with Dudley's active help in the Lakers recruiting Matthews, and his locker room leaders, it is normal for the Lakers to sign him back, but it is Howard who really feels a pity.

At present, there are 12 players in the Lakers roster who have official contracts, according to a report by NBA salary expert Bobby Marks, reserving Anthony Davis's maximum salary space, the Lakers are still $2.9 million away from the hard salary cap of 100 million dollars, and can still sign a veteran base salary contract, that is, if Howard did not choose to go to the 76ers, the Lakers may have left the 2.9 million space to Howard, after Howard and the 76ers signed a one-year, $2.6 million contractNow, it seems, Howard was really in a hurry.

After the free market opened, Howard was very keen to sign with the Lakers at first, but at that time, the Lakers prioritized other reinforcements, which may have made Howard feel that he was not respected, and with Embiid's recruitment, Howard finally chose to join the 76ers. Now that I think about it, if Howard can be as patient as Dudley and wait for the Lakers to complete other reinforcements before negotiating a contract, maybe Howard can get more money and stay with the Lakers, Howard still has a chance to win another championship.

It was previously reported that Howard chose to leave the Lakers because he wanted a bigger role and didn't want to be hidden in the playoffs, but in an interview a few days ago, Howard himself admitted that in his opinion, the championship trumps everything, when Howard said: "Winning a championship means everything to me, it makes me realize that I used to have the most beautiful stats in the world, and those don't mean anything." This shows that Howard did not leave the Lakers because he cared about roles and statistics, it is likely that he was worried that the Lakers would not renew his contract, and no one in the market would want him at that time, so he finally chose to join the 76ers with a base salary.

In fact, Howard really doesn't need to be in such a hurry, there are not too many big fish in the market this offseason, and the center is more sought-after than ever, both the Warriors and the Clippers have expressed interest in Howard, even if Howard does not choose to stay with the Lakers in the end, as long as he is patient, he will basically get a bigger contract than 1 year and 2.6 million, at least if he is willing to wait like Dudley, he may be able to stay with Dudley. After all, the Lakers are willing to give Dudley a contract that has not contributed much to the playoffs, so how can they not be willing to give Howard a contract.

For him, joining the Lakers must be the best choice, because he played very well with the Lakers last season and is familiar with the team's combat system, so it is a good choice.
