NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Achiuwa will be happy?Will you be happy if your playing time is cut?
The head coach of the Raptors looked incomprehensible, and looked at the general manager with puzzled eyes.

The general manager of the Raptors looked at the puzzled look on the head coach's face, smiled lightly, and said straight away, "Everyone, the reason I did this is to put Boucher on the shelf!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked!
The head coach widened his eyes and yelled strangely: "Trade Boucher???"

The head coach of the Raptors can't understand the brain circuit of the general manager. Is it just because he suspects that Boucher's agent team has leaked the news and traded them away?
If so, that would be crazy!
"You heard me right, trade Boucher."

The general manager's face became serious, and he reiterated again.

"Boucher, you all know what kind of decline at the beginning of this season! Especially at the beginning of December, he has almost fallen out of the rotation! Considering that he suffered a serious injury in the Warriors before, I feel that this decline is likely to be the previous The reason for the recurrence of the injury!"

"Moreover, the most important point is that his contract is about to expire. When the time comes, he will definitely want to get a bigger contract. Our team is full of young people, and we can train too many. !"

The voice fell to the ground, and the faces of the people present softened a little.

The general manager nodded in satisfaction, and continued to express his point of view.

"Plus what the coach said just now, Achiuwa is almost on top of Boucher, why should we give up a young player with potential and continue to train a veteran?"

"It's better to put him on the shelf when his data is getting better now and there is still some trade value, in exchange for young players."

After saying these words, the dull atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot, and even the head coach who had just objected was somewhat persuaded by the general manager.

"But, who should we trade for? There are no big fish this year, and Boucher's contract is only about 800 million US dollars, which is not big. Who can we trade for?"

At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up and expressed his doubts.

The general manager chuckled and pointed to the Raptors coach: "What kind of players are traded depends on what our coach needs!"

Seeing that the general manager cue came to him, the head coach quickly took over the conversation: "I need a talented player with the ball, taller and younger!"

Speaking of this, the head coach paused, and then said: "It's not bad that we aimed at the Horton Tucker of the Lakers during the offseason. Maybe we can try to get him over."

"Horton Tucker?"

The general manager frowned, quickly took out his mobile phone and began to check Horton Tucker's data and various highlights.

Everyone also gathered and began to analyze. After a while, the general manager spoke slowly.

"Hiss, according to the current transaction value, Boucher's addition is enough to exchange for Horton Tucker."

"But there is no rush. The most important thing is to get Boucher's data up first to increase the value of the transaction. By the end of January, maybe we will have a better choice!"

"Mr. Coach, you arrange it, and then explain it to Achiuva, so that he can calm down!"

Seeing that the head coach nodded and agreed, the general manager dismissed the meeting.

According to the arrangement of the general manager of the Raptors, the head coach immediately called Achiuwa when he got home.

Achiuwa, who received the call, was ecstatic when he heard the news. He was finally going to be the main training target of the Raptors!

Achiuwa quickly agreed and hung up the phone after repeatedly promising not to leak the news.

After the Raptors game, according to the plan, the head coach deliberately increased Boucher's playing time and tactical status.

Boucher, who has a certain tactical status, is more comfortable to shoot, and his data is also steadily rising.

And Achiuwa's statistics plummeted due to the reduction in playing time!
However, he didn't show any sign of displeasure, instead he sat cheerfully on the bench every day.

Lin Fei, who has been paying close attention to the Raptors, keenly noticed the change in Boucher's playing time!
Lin Fei had vaguely guessed the intention of the Raptors management team!
Perhaps Boucher has been put on the shelves by the Raptors!
Lin Fei hurriedly asked Vogel to increase the playing time and ball possession of Westbrook and Horton Tucker!
It has to be said that Vogel's level is indeed very high. He let Horton Tucker use his strengths to avoid weaknesses, reduce the number of ball possession, and increase the number of simple finishing opportunities, and then let Westbrook increase the impact and reduce shooting. The data is increasing very quickly!

The behavior of the Raptors and Lakers to brush data continued until the end of January 22!

During this period, the statistics of Horton Tucker, Westbrook, and Boucher have improved a lot, and Westbrook almost won the best of the week in the Western Conference!
It has to be said that such a behavior of swiping data will do a lot of damage to the records of the two teams!

The Lakers also suffered a wave of small losing streaks, but fortunately they stabilized in the end, and only then did they hold the seventh place in the Western Conference at the end of January.

And the general manager of the Lakers, Lin Fei, also accumulated 5 dynasty points after this month's accumulation of tasks!

Regardless of the fact that these 5 dynasties don't have many points, this is what Lin Fei saved up after working hard!
It is really because of the poor record of the Lakers that Lin Fei failed to complete many tasks, and sometimes he was deducted dynasty points. It is not bad to be able to save 5 dynasty points.

In the arena office.

"Haha, Mr. Pierce, come to Los Angeles quickly, this time I will show you another Chinese restaurant!"

"Lin, there will be a chance. After I finish my work, all the teams are preparing to trade recently, and our team also has a lot of moves!"

"Come here after you're done, haha, Mr. Pierce, I'll wait for you in Los Angeles!"

"Okay, okay, see you later!"

Lin Fei happily hung up the phone.

The person who spoke to Lin Fei just now was the Pacers assistant that Pelinka introduced before: Lloyd Pierce!
For Westbrook's trade, Lin Fei has maintained close contact with Pacers assistant Lloyd Pierce this month, and through Lloyd Pierce's relationship, he had a meal with Pacers bishop Carlisle. One click, and exchanged contact information!

It's the end of January now, the Pacers are about to make a trade, and Lin Fei has already made preparations.

In the last few games, Lin Fei has started to ask Vogel to reduce the playing time of Horton Tucker and Westbrook, just to prevent them from playing a good performance!
Lin Fei is also ready to formally discuss the possibility of trading with the Pacers management.

Taking out the phone and finding Carlisle's contact information, Lin Fei let out a deep breath.

You know, trading Westbrook has always been the most important part of Lin Fei's plan, and now after planning, it is finally time to take the first step!

Lin Fei couldn't help being a little nervous, and he pressed his finger to the call button, and dialed Carlisle's phone number!
