NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

"Jessica, what's the matter?"

After dialing the phone, Lin Fei hurriedly asked.

Jessica on the other end of the phone nodded, and then quickly replied: "Yes, Mr. Lin Fei, I have a question that I need you to decide urgently!"

"You know, before we signed two-way contracts with Cousins ​​and Bembry, the two-way contract players can play for us for 45 days, and now this period has passed a little half, according to the usual logic, Now we should make adjustments to their two-way contract, either lay off or switch to a basic salary contract."

"This will not only help the team, but also will not delay the players, and just now Bembry's agent called me, they can't wait, they want a player for Bembry now. A basic salary contract."

"Whether to cut or stay, this question needs to be decided by you!"

Hearing Jessica's words, Lin Fei nodded slightly. It was indeed Lin Fei's negligence on this point, and he forgot about it!
Two-way contract players, usually after playing 3 or 4 games, his stay is almost determined, and now, Cousins ​​and Bembry have played almost 5 or 6 games, the Lakers are now Haven't shown a clear attitude yet!

This made the agents of the two players flustered. They have no attitude yet. If they are fired by then, it will be too late to find another player!

Therefore, the agents had no choice but to call Lin Fei's assistant Jessica, wanting to inquire about the attitude of the Lakers.

When Jessica encountered this question, she naturally asked Lin Fei.

In this way, this question was put in front of Lin Fei.

After pondering for a while, Lin Fei replied: "How about this, you convert Cousins' contract to a basic salary first! For Bembury, you can tell their agent clearly, we now suspect that Bembury may have a huge There are potential injuries, so if they can provide some analysis reports proving that Bembli is in good health and has no major injury risks, we will sign a basic salary contract for them!"

"If you don't provide it, you can either stay with the Lakers and complete the 45-day two-way contract, or tell us and choose to withdraw from the contract. At that time, we will help him withdraw from the contract and find another home early!"

In his previous life, after Bembry went to the Bucks, he suffered serious injuries immediately, which shows the seriousness of his hidden dangers!
The most important thing is that now Bembry has shown signs of an injury outbreak. According to the team doctor, Bembry's right knee has become a very serious problem, especially when he played against the Cavaliers last time. Bree played well, but I'm afraid it made the injury more or less serious!
I vaguely remember that when Lin Fei saw Bembli in the player tunnel after the game, Bembli obviously looked a little bit wrong, walking with a limp.

I'm afraid it's also because of this that Bembury's agent came to urge the Lakers to give an answer in such a hurry.

"Okay, Mr. Lin Fei, I understand!"

Jessica quickly replied.

Lin Fei let out a "hmm" and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jessica quickly gave Lin Fei's instructions.

After a while, the agents of Cousins ​​and Bembry both received the news.

After Cousins ​​received the news, he let go of his original hanging heart. Cousins ​​is no longer the invincible Cousins ​​who was in the Kings back then. Now, it is very important for him to get a basic salary contract. Not easy!

Some people were happy and some were sad. After Bembli's agent received the news, he immediately frowned.

In fact, as Lin Fei expected, the reason why Bembry's agent urgently sought advice from the Lakers management was because of Bembry's injury.

No one knows Bembry's physical condition better than Bembry's agent. Now Bembry's physical condition has appeared. Bembry is playing now. Every offensive round and every defensive round has serious injuries. possibility!
With such a big potential injury, Bembry's agent had to get nervous.

However, Bembry's agent was still too anxious. He asked the Lakers management's opinion so urgently. How could the Lakers not doubt Bembry?

Really impatient and can't eat hot tofu, now Bunbury's manager is in a dilemma!
Either directly tell Lin Fei to opt out of the contract, or continue to stay with the Lakers now, and find better opportunities in turn.

In a dilemma, Bembry's agent must make a decision, and the player's career can't wait.

It wasn't long before Bembry's agent exchanged notes with Bembry himself, followed by a phone call with Jessica.

After Jessica received the news, she immediately notified Lin Fei.

"Mr. Lin Fei?"

"Well, what's the news, tell me!"

"That's right, Bembli's agent called me just now. They mean to opt out of the contract and terminate our cooperation!"

Hearing Jessica's call, Lin Fei nodded slightly. The behavior of Bembry's agent was similar to his own thoughts, and there was no way out for staying with the Lakers.

Jumping out of the contract now and finding a team in the market to sign a basic salary contract is the best way out for Bembry.

It just so happened that Bembury just played a good game when the Lakers played against the Cavaliers, showing his strength to all teams.

It can be said that the current Bembli is the most valuable time in the market.

"Okay, Jessica, then you can terminate his two-way contract."

Hearing Lin Fei's instruction, Jessica nodded, and quickly agreed aloud.

Early the next morning, it was officially announced that Cousins ​​had signed a basic salary contract and that Bembry was sacked.

This kind of news about players with a basic salary did not cause any disturbance on the Internet, but it was a little popular among Lakers fans.

As for this operation of the Lakers, although the Lakers fans don't quite understand the decision to cut Bembry, but according to the words of the Lakers fans, it is:

There must be a reason for Lin Fei to do this!
Since becoming the general manager of the Lakers, Lin Fei's trading operations have satisfied the Lakers fans. Many fans now have unconditional trust in Lin Fei's trading operations!
In the end, just like that, the Lakers waived Bembry and signed Cousins, and the final lineup was finalized!

Back line: Brogdon, Rivers, Rondo, Powell, Bradley, Monk!
Forward position: James, thick eyebrows, Boucher, Anthony, Johnson, Dyke, Howard, Cousins, Covington!

The depth of this lineup is one of the best in the entire league. Even if the Lakers are currently the weakest inside position, they can also send a lineup of Thick Eyebrows, Howard, Cousins, Boucher and Dyke. !

This lineup is not insignificant. Relying on this lineup and Lin Fei's system, the current Lakers have perfectly reached the goal that Lin Fei promised Jenny Buss at the beginning of the season: at least the Western Conference Finals!
This is still speaking modestly. It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of the Lakers' lineup is a proper finals team!
