For the same 8 million, the Warriors signed a scoring machine that averaged 21 points per game, and the Lakers got 3-point averages per game

The new NBA season has been playing for a while, and the overall situation in the West has changed a little from last season. The strongest team in the West this year has undoubtedly become the Thunder, who are currently on a four-game winning streak and are in first place in the West. And they seem to be able to establish an advantage very quickly in every game. And the Nuggets look like they can't continue the strong performance of previous seasons this season, and the overall decline is visible to the naked eye.

The Warriors and Lakers, who are most concerned by fans, have started the season well. The Warriors currently sit in third place in the West with a 4-1 record, while the Lakers are currently in fifth place with a 3-2 record. The offseason operations of both teams are completely polar. The Lakers haven't made much changes to their roster, essentially maintaining the same roster from last season. The Warriors made four consecutive signings this offseason. The overall rotation of the team for the new season is very deep. The Warriors are also making several offseason additions that have made them more competitive for the new season.

The Warriors' most important offseason addition was Hield, who is currently averaging 21.2 points per game, the highest points per game in the Warriors. He averaged 4.8 three-pointers per game, and his annual salary this year is just over $8 million, and many fans think his contract is worth it. But with the same annual salary of $8 million, Christie's performance on the Lakers' side is unacceptable. As the same bench player, Christie is also reused, and Christie is only averaging 3.6 points per game this season, shooting a miserable percentage from the field.

So that's the impact of management on a team, and if a team has a good general manager, then what he does in the offseason will directly affect the development of that team in the new season. It is important to know that the main work of the offseason is carried out by the general manager. As a player with the same annual salary of 8 million, the vision of the Warriors management is extremely wise, while the vision of the Lakers management does not look so sophisticated. Many fans even think that it is not a good idea to sign Hield with an annual salary of 8 million without renewing Christie's contract in the offseason?

Even if he doesn't get Hield, an annual salary of 8 million can sign a very immediacy player in the current free market, and even keeping Prince last season is stronger than the current Christie. It's very unclear why management is so adamant about renewing Christie's contract, and offering him a four-year contract. Maybe the management has their own internal considerations, right? But judging from the current situation, their blind trust in Christie to correct Christie has had a bad effect in the new season, and the Lakers' current bench lineup is already one of the worst in the league.
