NBA: Trading Westbrook at the beginning shocked Lao Zhan

Now as long as Horton Tucker is traded away and a basic-salary center is signed, Lin Fei's ideal Lakers team is almost formed!
But the most important thing now is to fully implement Westbrook's deal. Only when Westbrook's deal is completely done can Lin Fei feel at ease!
But Lin Fei is only a general manager after all, and Lin Fei is not the only one who has the final say on the Lakers. For such a big deal, Lin Fei still needs to explain the situation to the management and the owner.

Thinking of this, Lin Fei quickly took out his phone and called the Lakers management and owner Jenny Buss into the office.

After a while, all the members of the management team were present, and Lin Fei explained his trading plan concisely.

After Lin Fei finished speaking, the office fell into silence.

After a while, Tony, who had been at loggerheads with Lin Fei before, stood up and said to Lin Fei in a strange way, "Trade Westbrook?"

"Replace Westbrook with a glass man point guard and a slow shooter? Lin Fei, are you crazy?"

Seeing that Tony was calling again, Lin Fei couldn't help but frowned, and replied angrily: "Heh, besides the possibility of this deal coming to fruition, what other trading plan do you have that can take Wei Don't send it away?"

Tony snorted coldly: "Who said Westbrook must be sent away? Funny, I think Westbrook has been playing pretty well recently! Aren't we still in the playoffs?"

Hearing Tony's words, Lin Fei laughed angrily, and immediately retorted: "Westbrook has been playing pretty well recently? That's the result of us letting him use data! We let him use data to increase his trading value. !"

"The ranks of the playoffs? There is a fart in the ranks of the playoffs, our goal is the championship!!"

And don't look at the Lakers are still in the seventh position in the West, after the Pelicans complete the deal for CJ, the Pelicans' record will be soaring all the way!
At that time, other teams will also work hard to hit the record, and the Lakers are likely to be squeezed to ninth, tenth, or even unable to enter the play-offs!
Of course, these are all experiences of Lin Fei's previous life, and Lin Fei has no way to speak out directly!
But Lin Fei is still sure to persuade the management to agree to trade Westbrook.

"Hmph, no matter how bad Westbrook is, he's still the MVP, and at least better than Brogdon and Hildegard together!!"

Tony shook his head and continued to refute Lin Fei.

Lin Fei shook his head: "Westbrook's performance in our team at the beginning of the season is obvious to all. Has his technical characteristics changed now? Has his shooting improved?"

"No! His shooting is still the same! He still can't integrate into our team. He can only lead the small lineup to play at the connecting end. When entering the decisive stage, he can only sit on the bench on the bench! No The team can accept a 4700 million substitute!!"

"As for Hilde and Brogdon, both of them are puzzle players, a three-point shooter who can increase firepower, and a ball-handler who can help James reduce the pressure on the ball!"

"These two together, for the Lakers at this stage, isn't it better than Westbrook?"

After Lin Fei finished speaking, it was well-founded, coupled with the blessing of "slick tongue", all the management present were persuaded, and they all nodded in agreement with Lin Fei's statement.

Tony stiffened his neck and wanted to refute, but he really couldn't find the loophole in Lin Fei's words, so he could only stand there in embarrassment with a red face.

At this moment, Jenny Buss, the team owner who had been sitting silently, stood up. Even she who watched less football felt that what Lin Fei said was reasonable.

"Okay, Tony, don't talk about it! Everyone, Lin Fei's performance since he became the general manager must be obvious to all! He has a good eye for people! I have decided that before the trade deadline of this season, all the transactions of the Lakers will be handed over to Lin Fei. Leading by Fei, I hope everyone will cooperate with his work!"

Since Lin Fei took office, he has been widely praised by the outside media. Jenny Buss has also trusted Lin Fei more and more. In addition, Jenny Buss recently fell in love with a new project and has no time to deal with the Lakers. Jenny Buss simply Let Lin Fei take care of the Lakers temporarily.

With Jenny Buss' platform, Lin Fei's decision was naturally accepted by the management.

After the decision was made, the meeting ended, and the management personnel walked out of Lin Fei's office one after another.

Only Jenny Buss remained, she sat on the seat and looked at Lin Fei with a smile.

"Miss Jenny Buss, is there anything else you can do?"

Lin Fei looked at Jenny Buss, was a little puzzled, and asked proactively.

Jenny Buss smiled: "Lin Fei, when I heard you arguing with Tony just now, you said that our goal is the championship?"

"Through the trade, are you sure you can turn us into a championship team? What do you think is the lower limit of our team?"

Hearing Jenny Buss's words, the corners of Lin Fei's mouth twitched, good guy, what Jenny Buss meant was for him to issue a military order!
Lin Fei paused, and said slowly: "I am sure to turn us into the championship, as for the lower limit."

"I think our Lakers guarantee the Western Conference Finals!"

"Of course, this is all based on the fact that my transaction can be successfully completed! But within our management, there has been some resistance preventing my transaction."

Since Lin Fei took office, Tony has been at odds with Lin Fei. Lin Fei has been holding back for a long time and wants to deal with him. Now that he has an opportunity, of course he must attack decisively!

These words were directed at Tony in the management team. Of course, Jenny Buss also understood what Lin Fei meant, and said with a smile: "I will help you remove the resistance from the management team, so you can go ahead and trade with confidence."

"Guaranteed final match, well, I'm waiting for your performance, Lin Fei!"

After Jenny Buss finished speaking, she patted Lin Fei on the shoulder and left the office.

Hearing Jenny Buss' assurance, Lin Fei heaved a sigh of relief. Now that the Lakers management has settled the matter, they are now waiting for Carlisle's call!
At the same time, in the Pacers office, Carlisle had just finished discussing the trade plan with the management!

After a series of discussions, the Pacers decided to accept the Lakers' plan!
The deal with the Kings proceeded as scheduled, and then immediately made a deal with the Lakers in exchange for Westbrook!

After making the decision, Carlisle took out his phone and prepared to bring the good news to Lin Fei.
