At the moment when the trade window closes, many teams have not changed and obviously become the focus of everyone's attention, and now that the schedule is in the final stage and the overall performance of many teams is not very good, it is obvious that the Lakers' game situation has made many fans worry about them, after all, although their overall performance has improved, the current state of the whole team on the court is not very good.
According to this, the Lakers finally signed Dinwiddie with an annual salary of 1.5 million!
It has to be said that after being bought out, Dinwiddie is still one of the most valued players in the league. In games so far this season, Dinwiddie has averaged 126 points and 6 assists, but perhaps compared to his individual ability, Dinwiddie's stable and excellent court play is the key to really impressing the Lakers, as one of the face players of the former Mavericks, Dinwiddie not only has a very good individual court ability, he also has a very good possibility of matching with stars, after all, as a man who almost surpassed Irving, Dinwiddie played well enough on both offensive and defensive ends.
In the previous period, Dinwiddie, who became a free agent, has received olive branches from the Mavericks and the Lakers, as far as the current Mavericks are concerned, they are obviously optimistic about welcoming back Dinwiddie, after all, as one of Doncic's best helpers, Dinwiddie's departure has caused Doncic to be very dissatisfied. But judging from the current situation of the Mavericks, the team is not very rich in ball space with Irving and Doncic, and at the moment when Dinwiddie's overall performance has declined, the team has a player who has always been very stable like Hardaway Jr. on the offensive end, and his effectiveness on the defensive end is on the rise compared to the past, so the starting position is obviously not a realistic thing for Dinwiddie today.
And for the current Lakers and Dinwiddie, the two are obviously a very good match.
From the perspective of starters, the current Lakers have one of the most efficient starting lineups in the league, not only scoring an average of 80+ per game this season, but also the 87 points just sent in the half are a lot of fans, but compared to the starting lineup, the Lakers' rotation performance has not been very good, and the team's top starting performance and too backward rotation lineup have undoubtedly become a very big problem hindering the team's progress.
At this point, Dinwiddie's arrival is clearly a very good solution to the problem.
In terms of court effectiveness, he is currently averaging 12 per gameThe 6-point Dinwiddie still has excellent individual ability, there is no doubt about it, especially his off-line shooting and three-point play, and he has an average of 6 assists per game, he can well connect the current Lakers' tall lineup.
Compared with his contract, although the state of his personal career has declined, it is not aggrieved to match a contract worth tens of millions of dollars in such a performance, but if it is a base salary to join, it is obvious that this contract is worth it, while accepting a contract with an annual salary of 1.5 million, the Lakers this season have a very good prospect of winning the championship, which is a two-way run for the current Dinwiddie and the Lakers.
