11.5 million in one year! The performance is not as good as Vanderbilt, so don t blame the Lakers for trading you
9:39pm, 23 May 2025Basketball
In the series against the Timberwolves, Vanderbilt averaged 1.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game. Regarding the data, it needs to be explained:
First, only 2 goals were hit by 6 shots, and all of these 2 goals came from the basket. Of course, from the perspective of the positive and negative value of the career-1.3 real offensive end is indeed not what "Van Debiao" is good at.
Second, the defensive end interfered with the opponent's shooting 107 times, and in this case the opponent's shooting rate rose from 46.7% to 47.8%.
Defense is ineffective?
In fact, Vanderbilt defended nine Timberwolves players in succession, only Nick Alexander Walker's shooting rate was less than 50% (33.3%).
Obviously, this defensive effect is not.
Attack, you cannot attack; defense, you cannot defend. This means that Vanderbilt is like a useless existence. But in my opinion, the Lakers should not trade him this summer.
Description point, contract. Even this summer, Vanderbilt still has three years and 36 million contracts. With an average salary of 12 million and poor performance in the playoffs, it can be said that the cost-effectiveness is very low. In this case, if you trade out, you will definitely not be able to recover the equivalent chips.
In addition to this, there is another point.
is still a series against the Timberwolves, with Vincent averaging 2.8 points and 1.0 assists per game. How bad is Vincent in the playoffs?
14 shots on the offensive end came from outside the three-point line, but the shooting rate was only 30.8%, and 29 shots on the defensive end interfered with opponents' shooting. In this case, the opponent's shooting rate rose from 37.9% to 45.4%.
In short, there is no offense or defense.
Based on this, when Vincent was present, the Lakers lost 11.8 points in a 100-round game, and when they were not present, the team won 2.6 points in a 100-round game. Obviously, if the Lakers want to win, they cannot leave Vincent present.
For Vincent, I think the Lakers will definitely trade him this summer.
Reason 1: Contract. This summer, Vincent has one year and 11.5 million contract left, which is not traded in advance under the expiration contract. If tomorrow Xia pats his butt and leaves, he will get nothing.
Use 2: The disadvantage is obvious. Doncic and James are not selling products, and Reeves is likely to change to the inside star. The only role players who can trade is Vincent.
First, as mentioned earlier, it is an expiration contract. It is true that Hachimura Shizuo also has an expiration contract, but the problem is that he is the fourth scorer in the team in the playoffs, which is something Vincent cannot compare to.
Secondly, let alone Vincent's performance is worse than Vanderbilt. The latter is not an expiring contract and is currently at a trading trough, and the Lakers will not trade; as for Kneckett, it is more of an inside player who will exchange for rookie contracts.
In this way, Vincent, who is an expiring contract and performs poorly, has a very obvious disadvantage. Potentially, it will become the first choice for the Lakers' trade.
Finally, we can't blame the Lakers for being ruthless, we can only say that Vincent was not sure when the opportunity arose. If you grasp it, like Reeves in 22, the Lakers will not trade.
