The highest score of 47 points in a single game! Two-time All-Star, working hard to return to the NBA, will the Lakers consider him?

After the All-Star season 24-25, Doncic, James and Reeves had a net efficiency of 5.2 when they were on the court, bringing the Lakers' starting average of 87.4 points, second only to the Nuggets, Thunder, Knicks and Clippers during the same period. Potentially, there is no need to worry about starting off the Lakers in the new season.

Don't worry about starting offense, what about substitutes?

You should know that the average average of 28.4 points and 26.2 points in the past two seasons ranked third and second in the league respectively.

According to the NBA China official website: Because of its excellent training condition, Oladipo is working hard to find opportunities to return to the NBA.

The Lakers also have an official player quota but cannot issue a contract of more than $1 million, but this is not the point. The point is whether the Lakers will consider Oladipo? In my opinion, it will.

, that is, combat power

, Rioladipo averaged 16.9 points per game in 504 games in the NBA, and the highest 17-18 season Pacers averaged up to 23.1 points per game. In addition, as shown in the figure below, except for the 20-21 season, which only appeared 4 times due to injury, the other 10 seasons scored more than 25 points in a single game. Among them, the 17-18 season match against the Nuggets scored a career-high 47 points in a single game. Having certain combat power is one of them.

was awarded

as shown in the figure below. Oladipo was selected as the All-Star in succession thanks to his outstanding performance. Although the hero does not mention his courage back then, the reality is that the Lakers are a traffic brigade, and the topic of potential two-time All-Star will increase, and what is transformed is real money. Which boss will have a grudge against money? It can increase the team's topic, which is the second thing.

The current situation

Unless a transaction occurs, the probability is not high at present. Then the Lakers' substitutes will be Vincent, Vanderbilt, Laravia, Hayes, Kneckett, and Smart in the new season. Brothers have a distinctive feature: the lack of independent attack brings about combat power.

As I said just now, Oladipo has relatively good combat power. Although he has been away from the league for two years, he has been in good training as the news said, so he still has an advantage over the current substitute of the Lakers. The Lakers' substitute players have average offensive ability, which is the third one.

Cost

Considering that it has been two years since leaving the league, even if Oladipo can return to the NBA, this contract will hardly exceed the basic salary or may not be at all. After all, the NBA has the most lacking players.

does not exceed the basic salary or the amount is smaller, and there is almost no price to the Lakers. First, a one-year minimum salary or two-way contract will not lock up future salary space; second, poor performance can be cut, considering that it is only a one-year contract, this will not need to be shared in the next few years like Lillard and Bill. The price is not high, this is the fourth one.

In summary, the Lakers will consider that Oladipo mainly reflects the following four points:

1. Have a certain combat power;

2. Improve the team's topic;

3. The Lakers substitute players have average offensive ability;

4. The cost is not high.

Relatively speaking, I think the third point is the main reason.

First of all, with "Dong Zhan" in the new season, the Lakers' goal is definitely to win the championship. Based on this, if the Lakers lack the substitute firepower in the early stage of the new season, Pelinka will definitely consider signing Oladipo. Of course, if the latter continues to be in good shape and is well-deserved, it is not ruled out that Pelinka will sign him before the game.

In short, given his own player ability and Oladipo's immediate combat power and cost, Pelinka will definitely consider Oladipo.
