The Knights' historical shooter became the source of the Lakers' bad luck
Strass hit a crucial three-pointer from inside the box to knock the Cavaliers out against the Mavericks. He 58He shot 6 meters from the field for the second-highest percentage in NBA history, and Strass was the first man in the 1996-97 season to score five consecutive three-pointers in five minutes without conceding a single ball. While Strass is a hot topic, the Los Angeles Lakers have been caught up in the thick of the conversation with the addition of Strass.
Strass was added to the Lakers' roster earlier this season. With Schroder gone, and the player still a free agent, the Lakers want to make changes to the guard line. The Lakers want to put Strass and Vincent in the guard rotation, both of whom have played well in the playoffs, and the Lakers want to strengthen them to bolster them.
Because of the salary, the Lakers' managers had to make two choices. Compared with Strauss's salary, Vincent's salary is too low, although the Lakers are very rich, but the Lakers don't want Strauss to pay a salary of $10 million higher than Vincent, so they chose Vincent. Seeing that Strauss did not agree, the Cavaliers signed a four-year contract with Strauss for 63 million.
Salary wasn't the only reason the Lakers traded for Vincent, and Vincent's 3-pointer percentage was higher than Stearns', which made the Lakers want to strengthen his guard line. However, Vincent didn't play much time after joining the Lakers, and he was left out of the team's normal loop. On the surface, the Lakers are saving wages, but this situation limits their signings.
On the contrary, Strauss, after entering the Cavaliers, quickly moved into his starting position and performed very effectively. Strauss doesn't just shoot threes, he also plays well defensively, and he's the Cavaliers' biggest defense. With the cooperation of Mitchell and Garland, Strauss became the Cavaliers' third leading scorer, and he showed his ball skills to the fullest, and re-established a more complete offensive system for the Cavaliers.
The Lakers have made another bad decision after the season, and it's time and time again that the Lakers have lost high-quality role players. Monk and Schroder fit well into the Lakers and played well with the Lakers, but the Lakers didn't expect them to stay with the Lakers, and after leaving the Lakers, they did well.
The Lakers are struggling with the playoffs right now, and they have a lot of issues with their rotation, all because of the ripple effects of the offseason operations. If the Lakers could choose the right person, their results wouldn't be so bad.
