The Lakers gave up on a contract extension and shot 53% from three-point range after leaving the Lakers, and he was much better than Vincent

Some of the Lakers' players have been disappointing at this stage of the season, and the most disappointing of them is Vincent. Vincent is averaging less than three points per game this season, shooting just 20 percent from three-point range and 30 percent overall from the field. It can be said that Vincent has now become a dispensable player for the Lakers. You know, Vincent has an annual salary of more than $10 million this season. The Lakers offered him a three-year, $33 million contract, which is clearly a sign of remorse.

In fact, some of the Lakers' players performed very well last season, but Pelinka did not keep them in the offseason and offered them contract extensions. Prince, for example, played very well last season. He also shot 39.6 percent from three-point range, one of the few players on the Lakers team who was very accurate from three-point range last season. Many fans think that Prince deserves a contract extension in the offseason. Because he helped the Lakers win a lot of games last season with his outstanding performance in the regular season last season.

The Lakers did not offer Prince a contract, and Prince switched to the Bucks in the offseason. Prince, who joined the Bucks this season, has performed very well, averaging 8.6 points per game. He shot a whopping 49 percent from the field. The three-point shooting rate is as high as 53%. Today, he's one of the Bucks' most consistent shooting spots from the outside, averaging two three-pointers per game.

If the current Prince is put on the Lakers, then the Lakers' projection from beyond the three-point line this season will not be so unbearable. Prince is completely much stronger than Vincent. And the past resumes of the two of them are also in stark contrast, Vincent does not have a particularly good resume to support others to believe in him. Prince, on the other hand, was the 12th pick in the first round in 2016 and has proven himself in the league by averaging 10.1 points per game in the regular season in his career.

In fact, the Lakers don't have to spend too much salary to keep Prince, and Prince is willing to continue to wear the Lakers' jersey. If Prince can stay with the Lakers, then the space for the Lakers can be fully opened up when he and Knecht are on the court at the same time. The Lakers are now lacking a 3-and-D player, and Prince is a player with 3-and-D attributes. Vincent has a better defensive quality than Knecht this season. So the Lakers' offseason work was a failure, and the Lakers who should have stayed did not stay, but the Lakers who should not have stayed had strong hopes for him. This is definitely a dereliction of duty on the part of the management, I wonder what the fans think?
