434 million dollars! All five former Lakers stars have signed lucrative contracts. Is Kuzma next? The Lakers won the NBA championship in 2020, but missed the playoffs for six consecutive seasons from 20 14 to 20 19. During this period, the Lakers had a poor record, but they showed their talents on the draft stage and picked a lot of potential stocks. Most young people have signed generous contracts and earned considerable income.

Ingram, Russell, Randall, Jonas and Clarkson, five young people who started their careers in the Lakers, all left Los Angeles to shine in their respective teams and got a big contract. At present, the accumulated contract amount of five players has reached 434 million US dollars! On 20 14, the Lakers selected Randall in the seventh overall pick in the first round. He played in Los Angeles for four seasons and then moved to the Pelicans and Knicks. The Knicks signed a three-year, 63 million contract with him on 20 19. Randall averaged 19.5 points and 9.7 rebounds.

The Wizards chose Clarkson in the 46th place in the second round, and the Lakers bought Clarkson the day after the draft. Clarkson also played for the Lakers for almost four years, averaging 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. Clarkson later went to play for the Cavaliers and Jazz. 20 19-20 season played 42 games in jazz, averaging 15.6 points, 2.8 rebounds 1.6 assists. During the offseason, the Jazz and Clarkson renewed a four-year and 52 million contract.

The Lakers finished second in the first round and chose Russell. After playing in Los Angeles for two years, Russell was traded to the Nets, then signed to the Warriors and traded to the Timberwolves for one season. The deal of signing first and exchanging later gave Russell a high salary of $65,438+0.10.70 billion for four years. In the 20 19-20 season, Russell averaged 23. 1 point, 3.9 rebounds and 6.3 assists, averaging 20+ for the second consecutive year.

Ingram, who was selected by the second place in the first round of the Lakers, was replaced by Pelikan and became an important bargaining chip after playing for the Lakers for three years. Now, this is a win-win deal. Thick eyebrows got what they wanted, and they won the championship in the first year together with James, while Ying Ge gained a broader space for growth. In the first season, Pelican averaged 23.8 points 6. 1 rebounds 4.2 assists, and was selected as an all-star for the first time in his career. During the offseason, Pelican also signed a five-year contract with Ingram, with a maximum salary of 65.438+58 billion.

Although the data of Kuzma dropped significantly this season, it is closely related to the arrival of thick eyebrows. Kuzma has only one last year left on his contract, after it was reported that he wanted a high-paying contract. If the Lakers don't want to give it, they will probably send him away before the 202 1 trade deadline. Do you think if Kuzma goes to another team, he can get a lucrative contract as before?
