Chapter 218 Behind the transaction
Li Du talked with Yang Yijia for a while, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately called Pelinka and asked directly, "Robert, are the Lakers planning to trade me?"

Pelinka is not only Li Du's agent, but also the agent of several NBA stars such as Kobe Bryant. Ask Pelinka, hoping to get exact information from him.

Hearing Li Du's question, Pelinka even smiled on the phone and said, "Li, you are also very well informed, and I just learned the news not long ago. Li, this is a good thing for you. !"

Li Du didn't care about other things, and asked in a deep voice: "Robert, my information is very vague, please tell me in detail."

Pelinka only got the news two days ago, but his news is much more detailed than what Li Du heard from Yang Yijia.It turned out that since Li Du was injured, the Lakers management has been considering whether to renew Li Du's contract or trade him out while he was injured.

Within the Lakers management, this problem has existed since the beginning of the season. Judging from Li Du's current strength and statistics, his next contract should definitely be a maximum salary. The difference is at most only a few years of signing with Li Du question.But firstly, the Lakers have already reached the salary cap, and there is no extra salary space to sign Li Du, unless they are willing to pay a large amount of luxury tax; secondly, Li Du's high data broke out when he was acting as the team leader Yes, and the leader of the Lakers team is Kobe. Kobe's commercial value is not comparable to that of Li Du, at least the current Li Du is far behind Kobe, so it is impossible for the Lakers to make Li Du the leader of the Lakers.

Originally, everyone was still struggling. Li Du would face a high luxury tax if he renewed his contract. If Li Du stayed with the Lakers and continued to be Kobe's younger brother, his statistics would not reach the maximum salary.Don't sign Li Du, but I can't bear it.How effective Li Du is on the court is seen by the whole world.If Li Du was traded to other teams, it would be tantamount to creating huge trouble for himself!

But after Li Du was injured, the voices about trading Li Du became louder and louder.Because Li Du suffered a knee injury, many NBA talents were ruined by this kind of injury. After returning from injury, it is unknown how much ability Li Du can retain, but what is certain is that his athletic ability will inevitably decline significantly. !So everyone tends to trade Li Du out now. Using him as a bargaining chip, the Lakers can exchange for many long-awaited stars!
As for Li Du's promise that he would recover without any injuries at all? Which NBA player is not guaranteed with the team after being injured!It's not believable at all!

So the Lakers began to contact various teams interested in Li Du, preparing to trade Li Du.But they have a big appetite, and Li Du is not an ordinary player, so they are still discussing who to replace and how.

Now the most interested in Li Du, and the closest connection with the Lakers are the Golden State Warriors, San Antonio Spurs, Mavericks, Heat, and Cavaliers.

According to the news Pelinka has now, the Lakers are most likely to trade with the Warriors and the Heat, while other teams, the people the Lakers want are impossible to be traded.If the Lakers trade with the Spurs, they want Ginobili; if they trade with the Mavericks, they want Nowitzki; if they trade with the Cavaliers, they want LeBron!

These three are the team's signatures, and it is absolutely impossible to change them, so the Heat and Warriors are most likely now.For the Heat, the Lakers wanted Wade at first, but after several discussions, they wanted Marion and Haslem. The Heat are hesitating, maybe they will succeed.

The other is the Warriors. Since the bearded Davis left last season, the Warriors have started to rebuild. Now there is no one in their team who cannot be traded, including Crawford who was just acquired during the offseason and the Lakers. Come Turiaf.The Lakers want to trade Li Du one for three, Crawford, Stephen Jackson and Corey Maggette, they all want it, and the Warriors are still negotiating, they want one for two.The most important thing is that the head coach of the Warriors, Old Frankenstein Nelson, likes Li Du very much, and he will try his best to get Li Du to the Warriors.

After quietly listening to Pelinka's news, Li Du was silent for a long time. He knew that since the Lakers had decided to trade him, it was something he couldn't stop.In fact, he knew very well that since Kobe's early comeback, he was probably already under consideration for a trade.

Li Du didn't believe that the Lakers would really do this at first, because he just helped the Lakers win the championship, and during Kobe's injury for more than a month, he led the Lakers to play almost the same as the "showtime" of the Magician period. It was a highly entertaining game. Kobe also said that Li Du was the next generation leader of the Lakers he trained!
Unexpectedly, the Lakers still traded him, who is very important to the team, at this time.The only difference now is which team he will go to!

Thinking of these, thinking of the ruthlessness of the Lakers, or the ruthlessness of the NBA business field, Li Du couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. He has a lot of affection for the Lakers. It was the Lakers and Kobe who brought him into the NBA and into the basketball world.He also has great affection for Los Angeles, where Li Du and Preti met and fell in love!But as a player, these things are not under his control at all. It seems that he can only pack his things and prepare to go to other teams...

After Li Du came back to his senses, he finally asked, "Robert, how is the situation now? When do you think I will be traded?"

Pelinka said: "Because of your injury, it is very risky to replace you with an important star in the team, so every team is still hesitant and wait-and-see, and at the same time, they must use this to follow up. The Lakers continue to bargain, and the deal may be delayed for a long time. However, I think the Warriors are the most sincere, and it is best for you to go to the Warriors!"

"Oh why?"

"Because I just received an email from Nelson, the head coach of the Warriors." Pelinka was on the phone with Li Du while manipulating the computer in his hand and said, "Nelson is a well-known tactical master in the NBA. It is also recognized as one of the best coaches for training players, he expressed his love and respect for you in the email, and also guaranteed that if you go to the Warriors, you will be the core of the team, and the Warriors will build a team around you!"

After Li Du listened, he didn't speak. He knew that this was old Nelson's words, not Pelinka's analysis. He wanted to listen to Pelinka's analysis. Sure enough, Pelinka then expressed his own opinion: "The Warrior The team is located in Oakland, very close to Chinatown in San Francisco, that is, very close to the Chinese people, and very close to your home. When you get there, you are completely home, which is very good for your future reputation! The second and most important Now because of your injury, everyone is worried, but they just think so, no one really cares about you, and Coach Nelson, he wants to see you! This is why I say that the Warriors are the most sincere reason!"
