In the offseason, the Lakers' lineup can be said to have changed at the beginning, and a number of players have been introduced in a row, but unfortunately, none of these players who came to the Lakers are stars, and even the ability to play as a starter has to be carefully considered, such Lakers are destined to not go far, in order to make up for the vacancy of Howard's departure, the Lakers signed Chris Carman with a mini-middle class and a one-year contract worth $3.1 million, and at the same time signed the "singles king" Nick Young with a two-year contract worth $1.2 million, not only that, They also offered a one-year veteran contract to Jordan Farmar, a veteran who was already playing in Europe, a base salary contract to Wesley Johnson, a very physical fit, and a young point guard Kendall Marshall and three-point shooter Xavier Henry, who can only pass the ball and not attack, and in this year's draft, the Lakers also selected power forward Renne Kelly with a good range with the 48th pick in the second round, and on February 20, 2014, the Lakers traded with the Warriors. The Lakers sent Steve Blake and got Kent Bazemore and Marshon Brooks.

On November 25, 2013, Kobe Bryant signed a two-year super contract worth $48.5 million with the Lakers ahead of schedule, which made him the first player in NBA history to play for a team for 20 years when he fulfilled this contract, but this season was another very difficult season for Kobe, Kobe Bryant has been plagued by a fracture of the tibia on the outside of his left knee, and the knee injury has not healed for a long time, and finally announced the season reimbursement on March 13, 2014, and Kobe Bryant has only played 6 games this season, averaging just 13.8 points, 4.3 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game.

The new season of the Lakers, under the leadership of D'Antoni, played chaotically, the players have only one word for the ball, rush, and Nick Young, a backup guard who took $1.11 million this year, became the team's scoring champion. Averaged 17.9 points per game, Pau Gasol averaged 17.4 points and 9.7 rebounds per game, Pau Gasol, who was not trusted by the mustache last season, was not treated much better this season, averaging 17 points per game and close to 10 rebounds purely in the contract year In order to get a big contract, there is no relationship with D'Antoni Mao, this season's technology, Gasol immediately packed up the gold and silver and went to Chicago, Lao Tzu will not play with you, the evocative thing is that the Lakers offered 3 years and 29 million US dollars, and the Bulls only gave Gasol 3 years and 22 million US dollars, Rao is so, Gasol still left the Lakers without hesitation, from this you can see how much the Lakers hurt Gasol's heart.

Gasol played 6 seasons with the Lakers, averaging basically 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game, and Gasol scored a total of 7,610 points and grabbed 4,240 rebounds in the Lakers' jersey, both of which ranked 14th in the glorious Lakers dynasty and ranked 9th in team history with 607 blocks.

Like Gasol, there is also Chris Carman, compared to Gasol, Kaman is even worse, Carman still has some ability under the basket, and at the age of 32, he is not too old, and there are no injuries, but he is DNP by D'Antoni (meaning not played for a minute), the reason is that it is not suitable for the team's tactical system, it is useless to let Kaman get angry in a hurry, you just sit on the bench and quietly be your beautiful man.

Neither Gasol nor Kaman on the inside line are reused, so who is the mustache reused? The answer is "Sharp Brother" Jordan Hill, Hill is inferior to Gasol and Carman in terms of offensive and defensive ability under the basket, but Hill is flexible in footsteps, fast running, and fast breaking, which is also the center that D'Antoni wants, under the Lakers' key training, Hill's average of 9.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game is worthy of the trust of the mustache.

This season, the Lakers have two players who have played unexpected performances, one is Jordy Meeks, who is mediocre in talent and can score 15.7 points per game with a good three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, and is basically an excellent three-point shooter, including in the Lakers' home game against the Thunder on March 9, 2014, Meeks scored 42 points on 11-of-18 shooting to lead the Lakers to win the game, thus becoming famous!

Another player who played well was Kendall Marshall, a mediocre talented, skinny, sloppy defense, but very good passing, and some three-point accuracy, who was originally just a temporary firefighter for D'Antoni, but didn't want him to have 20 points, 6 rebounds and 15 assists and turnovers in his first game for the Lakers. This performance made him the first person since Magic Johnson in 1989! This race also kicked off the madness of the horse!

In the second game against the Nuggets, he personally delivered 17 assists! After that, he scored 18 points and 6 assists against the Mavericks, 16 points and 10 assists against the Clippers, 10 points and 16 assists against the Cavaliers, 10 points and 13 assists against the Suns, 19 points and 14 assists against the Celtics, 10 points and 11 assists against the Raptors, and 19 points and 14 assists against the Magic...... Can you imagine Marshall being able to mix in the NBDL Development League before? This is a copy of Nashkid!

This season, the Lakers have only won 27 games, the second-to-last in the West, no superstars are in charge, the home-bagged Lakers have not played well, after this season, the mustache is gloomy, on July 29, 2014, the Lakers signed former Lakers star Byron Scott with a four-year contract worth $17 million, Scott retired as a coach in the Nets for three and a half seasons, and performed well, leaving the Nets with many firsts, such as the Atlantic champion, The team's highest 52 wins, Scott also became the head coach of the Eastern All-Star in the 2001-2002 season, this season is also the only brilliant resume that Scott can come up with, after class, Scott became the head coach of the Hornets, and also coached Chris Paul for four seasons, but the team did not play any outstanding performance, in 2010 Scott took office in the Cavaliers, and gave the Cavaliers 64 wins and 166 losses in two and a half seasons, 27.8% 's win percentage also makes Scott the lowest winning percentage head coach in the Cavaliers' history.

On July 13, 2014, the Lakers got Jeremy Lin through a trade, Jeremy Lin was very unhappy with the Rockets, because of the problem of ball possession and ball style, the Rockets could not play the starter for a while, this deal was thought to be the beginning of Jeremy Lin's outbreak, but I didn't want to, this treatment is not TM can not catch up with the Rockets, in the competition for positions in the team, was once squeezed to the bench by the league ranger Ronnie Price...... On July 18, the Lakers claimed the big forward Carlos Boozer who was pardoned by the Bulls, at this time Boozer has long been no longer the courage of the year, as a veteran, he played well in the Lakers, the offense is acceptable but the defense is a big colander, and he was once demoted to a substitute in the new season, Averaging 11.8 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, on July 24, the Lakers signed power forward Ed Davis with a two-year base salary, who played with the Lakers and became one of the few players on the Lakers team who played well this season.

In the 2014 draft, the Lakers won the University of Kentucky's power forward Julius Randle with the 7th pick in the first round. There is no doubt about the impact and hard work, and the basket skills are also rich, but unfortunately, in the opening game of the season, Randle was injured in a breakaway and fell to the ground, and later suffered a tibial fracture in his right leg, which was reimbursed for the season. Although Randle can't play, the Lakers have another gain in this draft, that is, the 46th pick in the second round selected guard Jordan Clarkson, who quickly established himself in the weak and injury-stricken Lakers, playing 59 games in his rookie season, including 58 starts, averaging 11.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

Kobe Bryant this season on December 14, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 100:94, Kobe Bryant ushered in a milestone in this game, 5 minutes and 24 seconds before halftime, Kobe Bryant broke through to the basket along the bottom line, causing Zach LaVine's defensive foul, Kobe stood at the free throw line, the first free throw hit, this free throw made him equal to the "God of Basketball" Michael Jordan with 32292 points on the NBA total scoring list, and the second free throw Kobe also made a steady free throw, Kobe Bryant officially surpassed Jordan in the total scoring list, Exclusive NBA all-time scoring list third, after the completion of the surpass, excited fans for Kobe Bryant sent the most sincere wishes, Lakers and Timberwolves players and coaching staff together Kobe Bryant, at the same time the Timberwolves owner personally came to the stage and Kobe Bryant took a photo, sent Kobe Bryant the game ball as a souvenir, although it was away, but the Timberwolves also played a short celebration video for Kobe, the fans stood up and chanted "KOBE", after the game, Kobe admitted that the Timberwolves respected themselves more than they expected, He also highly praised the fans who were away from home, Jordan, Johnson, O'Neal, Bird, James and other superstars all expressed their blessings and respect to Kobe.

Happy times are always short-lived, on January 22, 2015, when the Lakers challenged the Pelicans away, Kobe Bryant tore his right rotator cuff, and the season was reimbursed, which is already Kobe's second overhaul in two years, Kobe played a total of 35 games this season, averaging 22.3 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game.

In addition, Nick Young has been hit by injuries this season, and has been on the bench in all 42 games he has played, averaging 13.4 points per game, Jordan Hill has become the main player of the Lakers' iron game, averaging 12.0 points and 7.9 assists per game, and Wesley Johnson is the starting three, also averaging 9.9 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. The Lakers' record this season is 21-61, the worst record in team history, so there are many voices about Scott's dismissal.

Scott had a heavy task when he took office, on the one hand, he had to plan Kobe's retirement, obviously, the current Lakers no longer have the capital to compete for the championship, so Kobe's retirement ceremony has become Scott's top priority, and secondly, the Lakers have added a lot of excellent young players this summer, such as Jordan Clarkson, the No. 16 rookie in the second round in 2014, such as Ed Davis, a big forward signed for 2 years and $2 million in the summer, and Jeremy Lin, an Asian guard traded from the Rockets. Third, although the Lakers are very poor now, there are already signs of rottenness, but the record cannot be too bad, which is basically difficult for some strongmen.

At the beginning of Scott's tenure, Kupchak promised to give Scott four to five years to get the Lakers back on track, but who knew that Wharton came out of nowhere and robbed Scott's deal, from a rational point of view, first, Kobe's retirement ceremony including the curtain call performance is undoubtedly very successful, whether it is Kobe Bryant himself, the Lakers or the entire NBA league including all fans are very satisfied, and secondly, regarding the cultivation of newcomers, Clarkson has already issued star potential, Ed Davis and Jeremy Lin also proved that they have the strength to start, but these two people are not in the Lakers' future plans, even Russell in the second year after breaking through the rookie wall, the performance has become more and more stable, third, about the on-the-spot command and record, this is also the place where fans criticize Scott the most, the on-the-spot command is basically who plays well, who plays, the worse the play, the more you play, this kind of quirk makes the Lakers players play tremblingly, play well, this and that, If this doesn't play well, it's still this, that, that, and that, contradictory!

Some fans are going to ask, why Scott is so vicious and crazy this season, to explain this reason, let's first talk about a deal, on February 20, 2015, the Bucks made a deal with the Suns and the 76ers, the 76ers' Michael Carter Williams was sent to the Bucks, and the Bucks' Brandon Knight switched to the Suns, and the Suns traded a Lakers first-round pick from the Nash trade to the 76ers, the Lakers originally wanted to get Nash, In addition to sending the $8.9 million trade exception that was originally traded for Odom to the Suns, he also sent four draft picks in a row, one of which is a special one, which is the top five protection in 2015, and the top three protection in 2016 and 2017 as far as the five protection in 2018, it is this draft pick that gave the Suns to the 76ers, so what does this draft pick mean?

The meaning of this draft pick is that in the Lakers' 2015 draft draw, in addition to the top five picks, any other picks belong to the Suns, 2016-2017 is also the same, and there is no limit in 2018, no matter what sign in 2018, it must be given to the Suns, according to the Lakers general manager Kupchak's plan, four years later, the Lakers will be able to rise, and then 2018 may not be ten or twenty picks, Nash, Gasol and Kobe Bryant are not young, If the championship fails, the team will quickly swing and then commemorate and then re-enter the playoffs, this road is planned by the team's general manager Kupchak, Scott is like this, and others will be the head coach of the Lakers, so Scott does not hesitate to desperately swing to avoid the top three picks being sent to another team, once this draft pick is activated, it will be a big blow to the Los Angeles Lakers who are in the rebuilding period.

So Scott's work with the Lakers was generally done well, and the Lakers finally managed to win Russell with the second pick in the first round of the draft.
