La historic debacle of the Lakers You already have your first victim. Trevor Ariza, one of many veterans who were hired before the season to be cut by the team.
A move with the future in mind, since the team will seek to sign another player for the last games of the season and thus begin planning the reconstruction, which would also include a new coach, since Frank Vogel aims not to return.
Ariza played just 24 games, averaging 4.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 19.3 minutes per game in his return to Los Angeles, where he won the ring in 2009.
What will the Lakers do with Anthony Davis?
No first-round draft picks until 2025, the Lakers are considering all the possibilities to rebuild a squad that the last two years has not lived up to expectations. With LeBron James and Russell Westbrook in the final year of their contracts, all eyes are on Anthony Davis, who passes the rumors of a change.
“I can’t control those things… That’s something from above,” AD told ESPN. “My job is to go out there and play basketball. Obviously, I love Los Angeles. If a transfer is something you’re considering, then we’ll have a conversation about it.. I don’t know what they are talking about. I don’t think the Lakers are planning to do anything with me.”
