I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 451 Three-party transaction
Training is in full swing.

The new general manager of the Lakers Pelinka is also in a hurry to call around to discuss the transaction.

He had to be in a hurry, even if he had to act like this.

There is no way, who made him make a stupid signing before, and now Jenny Buss' task is to satisfy Xu Xuan. But it is not easy.

In the past few days, his phone calls are about to explode, and his lips are worn out. He still hasn't been able to contact any suitable candidates. Even the general managers of many teams see that it's his call, and they don't answer the direct connection. ruthless.

"How's Joe going?" Pelinka asked.

Singles Joe is their main target, so the most energy is tilted on him.

Pan Ciao Shunliang's blond female secretary shook her head in frustration: "The Jazz still haven't let go. They once again doubted the trade plan they proposed before, and now they have put it on hold."

"Fake!"

Pelinka slammed the table, spilling a few drops from the jolting coffee mug.

"Damn it, it's been put on hold again and again. They just want to procrastinate until they can't trade. They never thought about trading at all. This group of souls are pale!"

There are people who are smarter than those who don't answer the phone.

You see, I also answered the phone. We are also discussing the deal you mentioned. We even reached an agreement at one time, but now we have found other problems, so we can only put the transaction on hold for the time being, and wait for our side to discuss it. Confirm again.
Just thinking about Pelinka makes me angry.

confirm?

Make sure he doesn't!

These people just want him to die!
Concealment occurs every year, especially this year.

It stands to reason that no matter whether it is Joe Johnson or Wesley Johnson, they are not important in the team. According to the chips currently given by the Lakers, they are definitely profitable, but no matter what, the opponent just won’t let go. You have a fart Method.

"By the way, there seems to be something about the Clippers. I passed by the manager's office just now, and he said that he is going to report to you soon." said the blond-haired, long-legged female secretary.

"Really?" Pelinka didn't even bother to drink coffee, and ran out directly.

Singles Joe is the best choice, but looking at the piss of the Jazz now, they don't seem to plan to reach this deal, so Wesley Johnson is also fine.

I also played for the Lakers, so I don't even need to be familiar with it.

But would the Clippers be so kind?

There are still some problems with the Lakers lineup, not only because of the lack of small forward position, but also too many point guards. With Xu Xuan's attendance rate of four, those people are not needed at all.

But relatively speaking, the imminent issue of small forwards is still the top priority, and the issue of guards must be put first.

After a night of rest, on the morning of the 12th, Xu Xuan got up early and ran along the beach for an hour to exercise his body and return to his usual life.

But there is no training today, today is a planned rest day, and training plans must be arranged.

The trainer can't say that it's good to do it every day without falling behind. It's the right way to combine work and rest. Moreover, it is impossible for Xu Xuan's body to accept so many training arrangements for a while, and it will take a while to digest and absorb.

For Xu Xuan, training has become an indispensable thing. Even if there is no training arrangement today, Xu Xuan still went for a morning run as usual.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, Lin Yun went shopping with Xu Xuan's mother again. The two women got together and went shopping every day.

That's right, Xu Xuan's parents were taken to Los Angeles now, and Lin Yun, who was temporarily free, took them out to have fun.

At noon, Pelinka came over with the documents.

Xu Xuan doesn't have time to help him plan these things every day, and Pelinka has a good grasp of this kind of free time.

"Xu, I've worked hard here, Joe's side has no hope, and the Jazz have no intention of making a deal until now," Pelinka said: "However, Wesley's side has some hope, and has already begun to negotiate with us. It was agreed, but they didn't want Mozgov, they wanted Clarkson."

"?"

"Clarkson?"

Xu Xuan stood up and looked at Pelinka's position, "Is that Jordan Clarkson?"

"That's right, it's him." Pelinka said with a wry smile, "The Clippers are looking at the fat and want to take a bite."

Jordan Clarkson.

Speaking of which, this guy is quite related to Xu Xuan, because he was also a rookie in 14, even in the same class as Xu Xuan, and he was also a second-round pick, a little lower than Xu Xuan. He was the 16th pick in the second round and was picked by the Los Angeles Lakers. The Celtics selected it with the No. 46 pick acquired in a trade from the Wizards.

同年在湖人队担任替补，2015年3月7日，在湖人和灰熊的比赛中，乔丹·克拉克森出场36分钟，18投12中，贡献25分6助攻4篮板，刷新职业生涯单场得分纪录，并成为自科比·布莱恩特（2001年4月16日）之后单场拿到25分6助攻的最年轻的湖人球员。

On April 2015, 4, Jordan Clarkson was elected the NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Month in March, becoming the first Lakers rookie to receive this honor since the establishment of the Rookie of the Month in the 4-3 season.Clarkson averaged 1981 points per game in March, ranking fourth among all rookies, averaging 82 assists per game ranked third among all rookies, and averaging 3 rebounds per game ranked seventh among all rookies.

As a second-round pick, Clarkson can have such a performance, which is already very unexpected.

For example, Randall, who was in the same class and on the same team as him, averaged only 2.0 points per game in his rookie season. Although it was only because he played one game, you must know that Randall was the seventh pick in the first round. Clarkson is the No. 16 pick in the second round, and there is a huge gap between the two draft picks.

The performance is Clarkson came out on top.

Xu Xuan remembers that Clarkson was also selected to the best rookie team at that time. Among the second-round picks in the 2014 class, except for Xu Xuan, he should be the best mix so far.

Jordan Clarkson is a thin, athletic combo guard with outstanding wingspan and bounce; able to attack independently, average finishing ability, and unstable shooting; a bit short as a shooting guard, he can handle the ball enough to play as a point guard but is too selfish.

在上赛季常规赛，24岁的克拉克森为湖人队首发出场79次，场均32.3分钟的时间内得到15.5分4.0篮板2.4助攻。自从2014年被湖人队在二轮选中以来，克拉克森在138场比赛里首发117场，已经成为了湖人队的稳定得分点。

In this year's free market, his contract renewal with the Lakers is also progressing very quickly. As a restricted free agent, Clarkson has no shortage of suitors. He could have chosen to wait a little longer to hear offers from all parties.Agreeing to renew his contract with the Lakers so quickly shows that he really wants to stay with the Lakers and Los Angeles.

The contract is 4 million for 5000 years. This contract is not much for a promising supernova, and the Lakers are very happy to sign him with such a small price.

But all this has been a little different since Xu Xuan decided to come here.

"so,"

Xu Xuan looked at Pelinka inexplicably: "You mean, not only the Clippers want him, but he also wants to leave?"

"Uh"

Pelinka said awkwardly: "It should mean that."

Xu Xuan nodded, and he understood.

I originally wanted to stay in Los Angeles, but now I don't want to stay, I want to leave.

Because of Xu Xuan's arrival, first of all, his starter is gone, and the substitute is estimated to have to fall behind Lu Wei as the second substitute.

This sudden change from the first to the second substitute is personally unacceptable, not to mention that he is still a young man, a proud young man. It is estimated that after Xu Xuan confirmed to sign with the Lakers, this guy began to suffer in his heart. Now This happened to be an opportunity.

Although going to the Clippers is unlikely to replace Paul, and there is no super big backstage like Rivers Jr., he left the Lakers anyway.

How should I put it, he is a bit angry now.

Try to comfort yourself.

What I said before, I appreciate me so much, I like me so much, but now it's all in vain, and I have normal emotions in my heart.

"We're at a disadvantage in this exchange." Xu Xuan frowned.

He didn't care whether Clarkson left or not. Since he wanted to leave, it was not Xu Xuan's style to force him to stay.

Clarkson's single exchange for Wesley Matthews is a deal that the Lakers must make in terms of position, but it is too bad.

"Who said no?" Pelinka spread his hands: "They mean to make a three-way deal."

"Three-party deal?"

"Ah."

"Sir?" Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's not." Pelinka shook his head: "It's the king."

"king?"

Xu Xuan looked at him with some surprise: "The king is involved anyway."

Pelinka poured himself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I said, you have to thank them for getting involved, otherwise I might not be able to meet your requirements."

With that said, he handed over a document.

At the top left of the file, Xu Xuan looked up one by one, and immediately raised his head and said, "Matt Barnes?"

"Have you still contacted this person?"

Xu Xuan said excitedly.

Before that, the people he most wanted to trade were Joe Johnson and Wesley Matthews, and he didn't think about Matt Barnes at all.

Now that I think about it, this guy seems pretty good too.

The 36-year-old Barnes has played in the league for 13 seasons and has played for 11 teams.

Last season, Barnes averaged 28.8 minutes per game for the Grizzlies, scoring 10 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He is good at defense, and his career-high single-season three-point shooting rate reached 36.6%. Contributed a lot to the team.

But Barnes has always been known for his grumpy temper. He is never afraid of fights on the court and often helps his teammates stand out.With him in the locker room, the atmosphere is often like a powder keg ignited at a glance.On a championship team with a good atmosphere, Barnes' passion can be used in the right place, but if it is on a team with a bad atmosphere, it is anyone's guess what will happen.

like in the king
The Kings are definitely not a team with a good atmosphere. Last season, both DeMarcus Cousins ​​and Rondo were at odds with George Karl. Take care of your emotions.

After Matt Barnes reached a signing agreement with the Kings, the well-known expert Larry Cowan also joked: "The Kings should really let Derek Fisher be the head coach. We can see a wonderful game next season. reality show!"

As we all know, Fisher is dating Barnes' ex-wife. Because of this incident, the two had a big fight last year, which caused extremely bad effects.

Pelinka said lightly: "The Kings are willing to send Matt Barnes, because Matt Barnes had a conflict with Cousins ​​in a field game two days ago. The two were originally going to play a charity game. Yes, it almost turned into a real match."

Xu Xuan shook his head with a smile: "The news is tightly sealed, I don't even know."

"That's because you paid too much attention to training. Cousins ​​even tweeted. Anyway, there was a wave of ridicule. The two of them probably couldn't get along. That's why the Kings found us."

"Great love is still a hot potato?" Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"That's why I'm here to ask you. With Joe Johnson's side still making no progress, if you agree, I'll go talk to them. There's still room for it."

"Well," Xu Xuan thought for a while.

Matt Barnes is a slender small forward who is good at running and cutting. He has excellent athletic ability, not only the ability to end the game, but also has good outside shooting ability. In the 2006-07 season, the Warriors staged a black-eight miracle in the playoffs, and he also played very well.

As a forward of a running and bombing team, he is very qualified, with stature and speed.With his height and wingspan, Barnes has a large defensive area, flexible feet, and excellent defense awareness on the weak side.

If he comes to the Lakers, then at the small forward position, the Lakers will have a trident combination of Ingram, Barnes and Metta World Peace.

With veterans, offense, defense, experience, vigor, ability to run and fight, it is definitely a good choice for the Lakers.

As for his temper, Xu Xuan didn't care too much.

He has never been afraid of a bad temper, otherwise it would be impossible to establish authority shortly after he came to the Pacers.

West, Hibbert, etc. Which one is not a thorn?

Which one did Xu Xuan persuade?

If you don't accept it, there will be a time when you will!
Xu Xuan has never been afraid of being stabbed!
"Okay, if you agree, I'll go talk. There's no guarantee it will work, but there should be no problem." Pelinka's execution ability is still very strong.

Immediately stood up and was ready to talk.

This is a three-party transaction, which involves many things, and it cannot be negotiated in just a few words.

But now the Clippers want Clarkson, and the Kings are eager to get rid of Barnes. Although there are still difficulties, it is not as big as before. This is why Pelinka is so confident.
