Well-known reporter: Caruso did not leave the team because of luxury tax, the Lakers just don t want him

Bleacher Report famous reporter Eric Pincus has renewed his social media account, and he also responded to the specific situation when Alex Caruso was released by the Los Angeles Lakers at that time.

Pincus wrote: As I have written and published an article, Caruso was let go because of the luxury tax issue. They have spent more money on Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn, and Patrick Beverley. What's even more excessive is that they let Caruso go because they didn't treat him as a valuable player at all.

Netizens are suspicious of Pincus's statement and list the names of many players who were let go by the Lakers. In response, Pincus responded: No, this reflects the extremely poor decision-making level of the Lakers management. Many people in the Lakers' management think that Mike Muscala is better than Ivica Zubac, and Russell Westbrook is better than the team's entire bench lineup. All teams need trade-offs between players and contracts, some do better and some do badly. The Lakers chose to let Caruso go because they didn't want to keep him. They felt that someone else would perform better, and in the end they spent more money on Tucker, Nunn and Beverly. The Lakers didn't plan to let him return at that time. I've reported this before. I'm not a hindsight.

Pincus is completely the reality. The biggest problem with the Lakers' management is superstitious about the fame and inexplicable potential. For example, they exchanged Zubac for Muscala, whose career is approaching his twilight years, because it is difficult for them to keep Zubac. As a result, Zubac has now become the top blue-collar insider in the league. For example, the Lakers chose Tucker, who seemed to have greater potential but had almost no substantial performance, but inexplicably let go of Caruso, who made great contributions to the team during the championship process. For example, they gave up almost half a rotation lineup in order to get Westbrook. And the most outrageous thing is that they have never learned their lessons and have been repeating such mistakes. If the Lakers management can have a slightly better vision and ability to distinguish right from wrong, their performance and record in these seasons may be further improved. That is, the Lakers have the big market in Los Angeles, otherwise it would be a miracle for the team to remain in the playoffs at their management level.
