Live broadcast, May 25 Today, Knight player Danny Green talked about the issue of the Lakers renewing Russell in the NBA Today.
Green said: “I think it is a little difficult for Russell to renew his contract with the Lakers. It depends on how much Russell wants to return to the Lakers, and also depends on how much the contract amount is, and whether the Lakers can find a substitute for his point guard is also a factor. Can the Lakers get Owen or renew Schroeder? If not, then the Lakers can only renew Russell. Because Russell is very valuable to the development of the Lakers.”
According to the report of Jovan Buha, a reporter with the Lakers, Russell is qualified to sign a contract with the Lakers with an estimated value of 67.6 million years before the end of June. If the two sides fail to reach an agreement, Russell will become a free agent.
In the playoffs, Russell played 15 games for the Lakers, averaging 13.9 points, 3 boards and 4.8 help, with a hit rate of 42.4% and a three-point hit rate falling to 31.4%.
