6+2 defender Rollins has become the target of multiple teams, his performance impressed the Lakers, and does the Bucks have a great chance to renew their contract?

The NBA offseason is really constant. So, the Bucks withdrew their qualifications quotation for Ryan Rollins, making this name that was almost forgotten suddenly a "potential stock" in the eyes of each team.

overnight, the Lakers, Spurs, Trail Blazers, and the Suns were staring at him. Who would have thought that this person who was still stumbled on the sidelines of the Warriors and Wizards two years ago has now become a "hot commodity" in the free market?

Speaking of Rollins, it is really a bit ill-fated. He was in high school and college all the way, and participated in the draft in 2022, but was selected by the Hawks with the 44th pick and was directly traded to the Warriors. Unfortunately, the Warriors didn't get any chance, and later went to the Wizards, and they only played 22 games in two years. At that time, he was a typical "home" and could be eliminated by the league at any time. The real turnaround was that Lillard was frequent injuries in the Bucks. Rollins took a big advantage and seized the opportunity to play. Although he averaged only 6.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game, his shooting percentage was 48.7% and his three-point shooting percentage was 40.8%, which was not something that ordinary people had.

Especially in the 19 games that started the season, the three-point shooting percentage soared to 45.2%, and the average score was still 10.2 points. It is rare to be around "Antetokounmpo" and turn opportunities into scores.

But to be honest, as soon as the playoffs arrived, Rollins was not that amazing. Facing high-intensity competition, his data and efficiency plummeted. Inadequate experience and poor stress resistance, this shortcoming is clearly exposed. But his performance in the regular season at least made him a popular option for each team to strengthen the backcourt.

Why did the tart release people? The main reason is that the salary pressure is too great. Lillard took up a lot of space when he left, and with the addition of Kevin Porter Jr. and Gary Trent, the management must do multiple-choice questions. The withdrawal of the qualification quote was actually to make room, but they also left the right to early birds, and if needed later, they could sign Rollins back at any time.

Why are the Lakers interested in him? It's very simple, the Lakers are short of reliable substitute guards. The three-point error has always been their old problem. Rollins' three-point error is accurate and efficient, which is completely in line with their needs. Besides, the Lakers have biennial exceptions. Although they don’t have much money, they are quite attractive to young players on the big stage and have a lot of exposure.

The Trail Blazers, Spurs, and Suns are not in vain. The Trail Blazers have a special case in the middle class, and the reconstruction period is requiring young and potential defenders. The Spurs have always liked to train newcomers, and Rollins' style is also quite suitable for their system. Although the Suns can only offer a basic salary, if Bill really buys out, they may offer a better contract. For Rollins, no matter which team to go, it is a chance to turn things around.

But then again, I personally think that Rollins has the greatest chance of staying in the Bucks.

On the one hand, he is familiar with the system and has established a tacit understanding with his teammates; on the other hand, the Bucks' back line is actually not rich, and if the new player is not reliable, Rollins can take over at any time. For him, stability and opportunity are more important than anything else.

As for where to go in the end? It's hard to say now. In a free market, whoever grabs the fastest will attack, there will always be only one winner. In any case, Rollins has really turned around this time. Whether he can take this opportunity to go further depends on himself.
