NBA news! The Lakers want Payton Jr., but the young people don’t know the world is high.

The Lakers actually interested in Payton Jr.?

Lakers reporter Anthony F. Irwin reported that the Lakers are following Gary Payton Jr.

You must know that in the entire NBA career of Payton, only the Warriors have his instruction manual, and it is under the premise of owning Curry. The advantages and disadvantages of players like Payton Jr. are really too obvious, and only under a deformed lineup like Cole can he be able to exert his value. And judging from last season, Payton's defense has also declined a lot now.

For a team like the Lakers, the value of introducing Payton Jr. is not very high. One Van der Biao is enough. Another Payton Jr. isn't this just adding difficulty to Doncic. Payton Jr. clearly saw the decline in physical function and the continuous minor injuries, which is why the Warriors don't want him.

Young people really don’t know how high the world is!

Some young people in the NBA now really don’t know how much they have. The Warriors' Kumingga wants a big contract with an average salary of 35 million, and the Nets' Thomas also wants a big contract with an average salary of 30 million, and both of them are very strong now, just because they think they have that value. Judging from the feedback from the trading market, these two people are really not worth much, especially Thomas. The free market has been so long and has no intentional partner. How dare you ask the Nets for 30 million?

According to New York Post reporter Brian Lewis, restricted free agent Cameron Thomas still wants to get a maximum salary contract. He was very confident in his market conditions and did not give up at all.

I don’t know where Thomas’ confidence comes from. Did it come from the data that averaged 24.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists per game, 43.8% shooting percentage and 34.9% three-point shooting percentage?

Kuminga is a bit cheated by an agent. After all, the contract given by the Warriors before is actually very consistent with his value, but Kuuminga seems to have been cheated by this agent. Now she can only learn from Simmons of the past. She posted training photos and videos in the offseason. No one is interested in the market. The money she gets is money. You see, Moody is very smart.
