It s hard to get a contract from the NBA! The Lakers are negotiating with Serbian giants during the period

According to European basketball media BasketNews, sources revealed that Shake Milton, a backcourt player who had just been cut by the Los Angeles Lakers, is seriously considering the possibility of leaving the NBA and moving to the European arena. He is currently negotiating with the Serbian giants Belgrade guerrillas.

Mid-year last season, Smith was sent to the Lakers by the Brooklyn Nets in a deal involving Dorian Finney-Smith and D 'Angelo Russell. After joining the Lakers, Milton played 30 games in the NBA regular season for the team, averaging 11.5 minutes per game, averaging 3.9 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.3 steals, and 0.1 blocks, as well as 0.7 turnovers and 0.8 fouls, shooting percentage of 43.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 29.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 84.6%. In the playoffs, Milton played 2 games in total, with only 2 minutes per game. During this period, no positive data was recorded, and a turnover occurred, with a 0% shooting percentage.

Milton's performance after joining the Lakers is indeed a bit unsatisfactory. Compared with the previous time at the Nets, it can be said that it is completely different from everyone's expectations. He actually got a lot of playing time and performance opportunities at one time, but his role on the court was very limited and he did not show his value on both offense and defense. Milton's performance was not ideal, which also led to his loss of the rotational position after the team's wounded returned, and he was unable to complete his appearance in the playoffs. In the end, the Lakers also cut him off before his contract was about to be converted into guarantee.

Milton was just cut by his old club, the Lakers and became a free agent. The current situation is that the NBA free market has been open for some time, and many teams have determined the candidates for the roster. In this case, it is unlikely that Milton wants to get a guarantee contract. If Milton wants to fight for staying in the NBA, he may have to accept a non-guaranteed contract and get the chance to stay through training camp and preseason. However, the reality is that it is not easy to complete a counterattack through a non-guarantee contract in this situation. After all, Milton is also a veteran who is about to turn 29. It seems that it is a bit too difficult to compete with young people. Choosing to go to the European arena and seeking a stable guarantee contract and striving to return to the NBA next summer may be a more ideal choice for Milton.
