Chapter 291 The New Lineup
"Don't think so much..."

Su Yang said with a smile: "Those two players have the opportunity to be exchanged only under special circumstances, and there will be other teams participating in the competition. It is impossible to choose for us casually. It is a big profit to switch to any one. When the time comes, just sell it directly. Don't hesitate."

If there is no serious ankle injury, it is impossible for the Warriors to perform well in the second half of their rookie season, and Curry, whose style of play is loved by many local fans, will be put on the trading market. Strong personal ability, the Thunder may also give a few million more to keep Harden, so everything is just a hypothesis at present.

Su Yang speculates that Kupchak also understands the truth. He is probably worried that if Harden is introduced as the core, his rights in the team will surpass those of ordinary coaches. I don't really like it either.

Zen master has such good grades in the Lakers, and he has a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship with Jenny Buss, but he has never been able to enter the management of the Lakers. compromise.

Of course, Su Yang knows that Kupchak may also be sincerely asking who he wants more. From the perspective of winning the championship quickly, Harden is naturally better. After all, Curry's injury will affect the overall record, but from the perspective of long-term team building. In other words, Curry is more versatile.

It is also possible that Curry and Harden can get it together if they become their own boss. Of course, the backcourt defense is relatively poor in that case.

For the time being, we only have to take one step at a time, depending on the team's running-in state and the changes in the entire league.

"Then let's make this decision. There will be a lot of personnel changes in the future. You can calm the emotions in the team in advance..." After Kupchak finished speaking, he opened his work notebook and picked up the phone at the same time, as if he was about to start working look.

Seeing this, Su Yang got up and left the general manager's office to return to the training ground. He found that Mike Brown was urging the two rookies Goodlock and Darius Morris to practice three-pointers crazily according to the plan. All kinds of chicken soup encouragement words were casual. just come.

On the other side, Ebanks is practicing with assistant coach Darwin Hamm on how to choose defensive positions more efficiently.

Artest and Walton sat on the sidelines with bored faces, Gasol and Odom didn't come at all, and Kobe came to train several hours earlier and had already left the training hall.The whole team looked chaotic and aimless.

"We desperately need a win..."

Snyder walked to Su Yang and said, "It's best to start the fight tomorrow, so we at least have the goal of winning."

Su Yang nodded silently. Due to the turmoil in the trade, tactical design and rehearsal progress are temporarily suspended. The team urgently needs to start the preseason game so that targeted adjustments can be made. The arrival of the preseason game also means that the lineup tends to stabilize .

"It's a pity there are only two games..."

Because the suspension was too long, the preseason game started on December 12th, and the Lakers played their first game on the 17th. They played a total of two games. There is very little time to adjust.

While thinking about it, Su Yang took a deep breath. Coaching the Lakers this season is the biggest challenge in these years.

But looking on the bright side, at least through the conversation with Kupchak and Jim Buss, the goals of the Lakers for this season have been determined, and possible surprises have been explained in advance. The key is to determine the choice of future core players and long-term goals. clear.

Anyway, every step forward is forward.

Unless the management or the Bass family don't count.

In the afternoon, the Lakers announced a deal with the Mavericks through an official statement, officially sending Lamar Odom + the 2012 second-round pick to the Mavericks, and getting the 2012 protected first-round and a comparative trade exception.

After the news came out, fans started heated discussions on Twitter and other social media, but they were not too surprised.

After all, I wanted to send it away before, but now I really don't want to do this operation, just to reduce the salary pressure.

It was also efficiently revealed that the Lakers sent Odom away to free up salary space and instead pursued Howard, who had already applied to leave the team.Such remarks, wishing to collapse Bynum's mentality, made the Lakers rush to refute the rumors through public relations speeches.

Later, Kobe accepted an interview with reporters, expressing that it was difficult to accept that his good brother Odom was sent away, and he was very dissatisfied with the team's operation: "Odom played the best performance of his career last season. I don't understand why he did that. Do…"

Bynum also spoke through a reporter interview: "This transaction will definitely have a great negative impact on us. I, Odom and Gasol have formed the best frontcourt in the NBA. After the transaction, we will be in the new season. It's going to be completely different, our tactics and the way we rotate players, that's not a positive thing for us."

On the other side of the Mavericks, Nowitzki said: "Oh my God, I'm going to die of excitement. I thought it was fake news at first. We actually only traded for Odom with a special case. I don't know now." I can't believe it, it's incredible!"

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said: "Now I can proudly announce that Odom + Nowitzki + Marion, we have the strongest striker combination in the league, and we will win the championship in the new season. Thank you very much. Los Angeles Lakers."

Comparing the two teams, the Mavericks are thirsty for talent, while the Lakers abandoned the champion hero in their prime to save a little money.

Soon some fans mentioned that Su Yang's annual salary was too high, thinking that if it wasn't for Su Yang's high annual salary, the Lakers would have the money to pay the luxury tax, and then keep Odom in the Lakers for a long time, so they forced Odom to leave the team. The culprit should be Su Yang.

"If he can't lead the team to win the championship, then he will be the first domino for the Lakers dynasty to fall apart."

"I guess he's going to use the roster change as an excuse, after all Bynum said there's going to be a huge change in tactics and rotation."

"The Lakers are finished this season. They can only rely on Kobe and Gasol to play like they did in 08. The coach is not important anymore."

Su Yang was sitting at home, and the pot came from the sky. A reporter wanted to ask him what he thought, but he refused directly.

Opponents have already finished their good and bad words. If they win, the Lakers are awesome. If they lose, it’s his coach who made a fool of himself. Arguing by himself will only make people feel guilty, just like rocket experts who are questioned that they should burn wood for power. All lose.

At noon the next day, the Lakers once again officially announced the signing of Wubi.

The five are Barnes, McGrady, Kapono, Troy Murphy, and Mike Roberts.

Su Yang didn't think much about signing Kapono and Murphy, anyway, they both had basic salary contracts.

Kupchak simultaneously informed Su Yang that there will be no more trades for the time being, and the Lakers' lineup for the new season is basically formed.

Center and power forward position four, namely Bynum, Gasol, Troy Murphy, Mike Roberts.

There are six small forwards, Artest, Barnes, Walton, McGrady, Kapono, and Devin Ebanks.

There are five guard positions, namely Kobe, Darius Morris, Goodlock, Fisher, and Blake.

ESPN simultaneously announced the probability of winning the championship for each team in the new season, and the Heat reached 88% because of the introduction of Shane Battier and Eddie Curry.

The Thunder are next, dropping because of the loss of Tyson Chandler, and the signing of Kendrick Perkins.

The Lakers only have 69.5%, which is not as good as the 80% of the city's rival Clippers, but many fans think it is reasonable.

　Watching the game is delayed, today is the third watch!
