Live broadcast, March 23 News the Lakers accompanying reporter Jovan Buha wrote an article today to analyze the team’s personnel situation this summer, believing that the probability of signing Owen is not large.
Jovan Buha said that according to sources, so far, the plan of the Lakers this summer is to leave most of the lineup this season, and even if possible, the Lakers hope to keep it all.
It is reported that unless Owen is persuaded to cut his salary sharply, the Lakers are unlikely to chase him this summer. Because the Lakers will need to renew their contracts with many players this summer, Russell and eight villages will become free players this summer. Beasley’s contract next season includes team options, and Vanderbilt’s contract next season is partially guaranteed, the contract of Bamba next season is not guaranteed.
Jovan Buha said that to renew the contract with Reeves (salary 2.1 million this season) and Vanderbilt (salary 4.7 million next season), the Lakers also have to spend a lot of salary space, which means Owen is basically out of touch with the Lakers, unless his salary is greatly reduced.
