Montrezl Harrell is staying put in Los Angeles, but is now playing for a new team. The Los Angeles Lakers has signed Montrezl Harrell to a 2 year/$19 million dollar contract.
Montrezl Harrell is coming off a career year averaging 18.6 PPG and 7.1 RPG, winning the 2019-2020 NBA Sixth Man of the Year. Harrell could’ve gone somewhere and get a bigger contract and role, but decided to stay put in LA and join the Lakers to compete for an NBA Championship.
My Thoughts
This was an unexpected move by the Harrell. I thought he was going to go somewhere to get paid and be one of the main guys on the team, but he shocks the world and signs with the Lakers.
I’m sure this has to tick off Clippers players and fans, as Harell is going the rival teams. I’m not a huge fan of this move by him, but the Lakers definitely upgraded the center spot.
The Lakers could still be a contender to win the West, but don’t be surprised if the Clippers, Rockets, and Nuggets could make a run for it.
