The Lakers signed Smart, and the general angrily scolded him, and he might as well sign Kwame Brown. James can tolerate this!

On July 20, according to the shams report, the Lakers had a new signing and completed a two-year, $11 million contract with Smart. The second year was the player option, using a middle-class special case, which was actually similar to the basic salary. So some people are optimistic about this deal, but some are very unpopular. Among them, NBA legendary general Arenas was very angry, believing that the Lakers were always picking up bargains and these useless players.

Regarding Smart, Arenas said that no one knew he was a free agent at all. What does it mean? The strength is limited, and it is not even a real free agent, which is just a so-called player.

Arenas felt very puzzled that Smart eventually joined the Lakers. Has the Lakers all fallen to this point? Even Smart wants it, so why does he have this view? Smart is very good in many people's eyes.

Then Arenas gave an example of his signings in the free agent market this year as a public trial, but he himself said that he missed the notice, which was obviously a kind of irony, that is, the Lakers were too casual and had not even understood Smart's performance.

He was very dissatisfied with Smart and believed that Smart was like a staff member at a gas station. This was playing basketball and finding a gas station staff member, which meant that he was very unprofessional and just collected numbers. This also showed that Smart's current level was a bit of a meaning that was not worth mentioning at all.

Then, Arenas was very disappointed with the Lakers' signings this year. As many fans said before, they frantically picked up bargains, picked up one from the east and one from the west. He also asked, who will be the next one?

Then, Arenas couldn't help it. Since he signed Smart, if he couldn't, just ask Kwame Brown and just sign him. Let me mention it here that Kwame Brown has not played for many years. From this aspect, we can also see that Arenas is speechless about the Lakers' bargaining skills.

Then, he said, how did James resist it? How could James bear it in the past few years? He was very puzzled, why didn't James make a decision? I do this every year and deal with it. If he is James, I will definitely not be able to bear it.

Finally, Arenas gave his final point of view to see who the Lakers have signed? This is a very dissatisfaction with Smart, and it is also a dissatisfaction with the Lakers signing in the free market this year.

Then let's look back and see if what Arenas said makes sense?

It seems that the Lakers have the characteristics in recent years, and this is the case. Those with high levels basically do not consider them. Those with low levels are all treasures. They are either characters on the edge of the NBA or those other teams don’t want them. Not to mention, it’s true. This is true. Give a few simple examples.

1. Laravia, this player is fine, but no one snatches it. The overall market is similar to Hayes, not the kind of player who is popular.

2. Of course, Ayton is still very good, with a high cost performance, which is a good signing.

3. Milton, he is just a side item of Finney Smith's trade. He played with the Lakers for a year and did not play any role.

4. Jamison, the Lakers used him to play many games last season, which really corresponds to Arenas' words. Who are the Lakers signing?

5. Koloko, before joining the Lakers, had not played for more than a year, that is, the level of the Development League, and no one could watch it in the free market.

6. Wood, basically no one wants it before. The Lakers wanted to scratch the lottery, but this time it took two years, but it didn't scratch it out.

7. Vincent was originally a role player, but he played well in the Heat. The Lakers happily accepted him. So far, the results are very unsatisfactory.

8. Westbrook, who has wandered several teams in the NBA, can form a set of rainbow clothes. The Lakers are unbelievable and want to give it a try, but this test directly dismantled the championship lineup.

9. Kleber is a gift from Doncic and also has an annual salary of tens of millions. His attendance rate in recent seasons is very low. The contract expired was a bit valuable, but the Lakers don’t know why they are reluctant to let him go. They regard him as a space-based insider and are full of hope for his new season.

10. Russell, the same is true. From the Lakers to the Warriors, from the Warriors to the Nets, and finally to the Lakers. The Lakers are also hard-working. The first time they are not good, and I want to try the second time.

Overall, the Lakers' signings in recent years are really hard to describe. They are either old, they can't play in the NBA, or they are sick. Anyway, the signings are all problematic and are really useful. Finney Smith let them go after only one year of playing. No wonder Arenas is so angry. There is a reason for this. After all, the Lakers are a wealthy family. It can also be seen how difficult it is for James to be in the Lakers. It has been so hard for these years!

The Lakers signed Smart, and the general angrily scolded him and simply signed Kwame Brown. James can tolerate this!
