Today, the Los Angeles Lakers officially announced that center Alex Lane has joined the team, and he will choose the No. 27 jersey. Ryan is 31 years old, 2.13 meters tall, weighs 250 pounds, is a pure blue-collar insider, and has averaged 6.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game in his career. He played little with the Kings this season before being traded to the Wizards by the Kings and subsequently cut as a free agent.
Well-known journalist Shams reported that Ryan originally intended to sign with the Pacers, but decided to join the Lakers after the Lakers canceled the Mark Williams trade and created new opportunities. Ryan played in 35 regular-season games for the Kings this season, averaging 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 7.2 minutes per game. The stats are not outstanding, mainly because there is too little playing time.
Ryan is tall and long-armed, his weight is also on the line, and he is the starting center, and Hayes will return to the bench position. The Lakers can play the small lineup they are good at, and when they come across a tough center, they send Ryan to the top. The rest of the time, you can pair it with a slightly more flexible Hayes. All in all, the empty dunk is a regular performance project for the Lakers.
Yesterday, Hayes received three James assists and staged an empty dunk. Received 2 empty dunks from Doncic. In the Lakers' 6-game winning streak this time, Hayes started 6 consecutive games, averaging 7.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.75 blocks and 1.1 steals per game.
Since the Lakers roster was previously full, all 15 players have official contracts. In order to sign Ryan, the Lakers had to cut one man. Not surprisingly, center Wood was cut by the Lakers.
Embarrassingly, just a few hours before he was cut, Wood also replied to fans online that he was making progress and would be back soon.
Seeing the word "soon" again, he replied to the fans more than once during Wood's recuperation, using "soon" to tell everyone that he was about to return. But again and again, the return of "Brother Soon" to the field is far away. Gives confidence to the fans every time, but it's a smokescreen every time.
Wood was still laughing on the bench yesterday, and he probably won't be able to laugh at this time.
After being cut, Wood quickly unfollowed the Lakers' official social media accounts.
Wood was injured in February last year with fluid in his knee and chose not to have surgery at the time, hoping to recover through conservative treatment. After the offseason, there was no surgery in the first place. Until September 10, he felt that he could not recover and underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, and Wood did not appear this season.
He hasn't played for a year, and he doesn't know if he can return this season, so it makes sense for the Lakers to cut him. Now, the Lakers' roster is full again, with 15 official contracts and 3 two-way contracts. They are:
Point guards: Doncic, Vincent, Milton, Bronny
Shooting guards: Reeves, Goodwin, Knecht, Reddish
Small forwards: Hachimura, Finney-Smith
Power forwards: James, Vanderbilt, Markieff Morris
Center forwards: Hayes, Lane, Jamieson, Koloko, Kleber
Kleber posted a photo yesterday with the caption: "I'm excited to start a new chapter in my career!" Come on, Lakers Nation! ”
Kleber underwent surgery to repair a fracture in his right foot on January 31 and was re-examined in April, and he did not rule out the possibility of returning in the playoffs. This season, he averaged 3 points and 2.8 rebounds per game while shooting 38.5 percent from the field and 26.5 percent from three-point range.
At the same time, due to the excellent recent performance of two-way player Goodwin, if the Lakers want to turn him around, they will have to cut one more person, and Reddish is the next person with the highest probability of being cut.
