start with scouting

Chapter 332 Keku Joins Forces

Kupchak is clearly busy.

The transaction has just been concluded, there must be many documents to be signed, and a large number of licenses need to be applied to the alliance. Naturally, there is no time to discuss in detail. Being able to spare time to send a text message is already regarded as very important to Su Yang, and he should be on the phone frantically at the moment.

Su Yang exploded with excitement, hugged Jiang Ruolan and kissed him hard, then drove straight to the Lakers training base.

It's only a few minutes away, but he imagined several Curry solutions for how to use them together, and he was quite excited.

When I rushed to the training base, I found that besides the old Buss who I often saw, as well as the brothers and sisters Jim and Jenny, the scouting director Jesse Buss who usually didn't show up very much was also there, as well as the famous Lakers Magic Johnson and Kurt. Rambis et al.

Su Yang couldn't figure out why those people appeared, so he didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he had a detailed discussion with Old Bass.

Enthusiastically, Magic Johnson took the initiative to participate, and excitedly made an introduction: the Warriors ended their internal differences at the last moment and reached an agreement to send Curry + Biedrins + one future first round + two future second rounds. Get Bynum.

Specifically, whether to exchange draft picks and what year, Kupchak is discussing in detail, and it will be completed soon.

"Originally, they were only willing to send an extra second round..." the magician said excitedly, "But in the past few games, Andrew Bynum performed very well, which made them completely tempted, but I feel that they did not suffer, it was just an equal deal .”

Su Yang nodded in agreement. Mainly based on the current market value, Bynum is very good. There is no pressure to exchange Curry for a first-rounder. It is only because someone in the Warriors values ​​​​Curry that it is so troublesome, and Biedrins contract There are 2 and a half seasons left, with an average of 900 million US dollars per year. It is uncertain how much value it can actually contribute. Even in the worst case, it will not be too difficult to deal with.

"Hope Curry is as good as you say..."

Old Bass handed Su Yang a glass of red wine, and sighed: "When it comes to the final deal, I actually regret it a bit, but since I promised you, I will keep my promise. I believe in your vision, and I am willing to gamble a lot in the next few years. I may not How long has it been..."

It is difficult for one person to do or comment on something by himself. It is difficult to jump out of the limitations of the times and past experience. Bynum's excellent performance must have caused fierce debate within the Lakers, but Old Buss firmly promoted it. useless.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little dignified, and Su Yang raised his glass: "With a wise boss like you, the Lakers will surely revive."

Among all the NBA bosses, Old Buss is the one who is the most good at management and most willing to trust professionals. However, due to the family business, many key positions are managed by children or cronies, and in many cases it is more messy than other teams. .

"What about our center position?"

Magic Johnson's emotional intelligence is extremely high to help change the subject, "Boedlins and Troy Murphy are obviously not good enough to be the starting center. According to your offensive and defensive system, I guess you should want to push Pau Gasol to that position? "

"Boris Dior..."

Su Yang took a sip of red wine, "Now we have a vacant main position inside. After Boris Dior buys out, our hope of joining us will greatly increase. Dior's personal ability is enough to serve as the starting power forward. We can also trade for a center player..."

The trade deadline has not yet arrived. According to the previous plan, Kupchak should send Fisher and Walton away in exchange for Jordan Hill and other players, and then there will be a batch of layoffs and decentralization. The specified buyout clause will also be used.

But those are not the key points, as long as the Curry deal is reached, even if Dior is not obtained in the end, there are ways to make up for it.

"Go ahead and do it..."

Old Bass said boldly: "As long as a dynasty can be established, even if there is no championship this season and more luxury taxes are acceptable, we have never only focused on immediate interests, we value the long-term valuation and prestige of the team, that is the biggest income!"

Su Yang toasted again. A little luxury tax is far inferior to the benefits of the team's valuation increase and other benefits. Propaganda, but earn more.

The Russian owner of the Nets also lost money, but he took the opportunity to buy a lot of land around the home court of the Nets in the name of developing and constructing the arena, and he also made a lot of money backhanded. The business lost money along with the team.

While the three were talking and laughing, Kupchak announced another deal: the Lakers sent veteran Derek Fisher, and traded Odom back then, where the Mavericks got the last pick in the first round, and exchanged with the Rockets for a young Center Jordan Hill.

"Hats off to Fisher..."

The magician proposed a toast, and Su Yang echoed with the toast, feeling that Fisher was the hero of the Lakers' two generations of championships after all.

After a while, Kupchak announced a deal again: the Lakers sent Luke Walton, Jason Kapono, and the Lakers' own 2012 first-round pick, probably the 30th overall pick, from the Cavaliers. Mon Sessions and second-year rookie Christian Eyanga, who should be directly transferred or bought out, are not in the Lakers' plan.

"Hats off to Wharton..."

The old Bass toasted again and proposed, and Su Yang echoed with the toast again, thinking that Wharton was also the hero of the Lakers' generation of championships.

Instead, the Lakers have become rich in candidates for the point guard position, and they need to arrange for Blake to play more at the shooting guard position.

But even then, there are still three point guards, Curry, Jeremy Lin, and Sessions, who need to learn more from the Mavericks' three-guard tactics.

On the contrary, Curry is also good at running without the ball, and it will be easier to match. Kobe can also play the third position occasionally.

As for Goodlock, I couldn't find a suitable place to give time for a while, and decentralizing NBDL leveling is the best choice.

The same treatment is given to Devin Ebanks. After the big trade, there is no time left for him at the small forward position. Just not renewing the contract.

While Su Yang was thinking about it, the time came to 12 o'clock, the free trade date of the 11-12 season ended, and the Lakers were working smoothly.

The moment the alarm clock rang, the entire office applauded Kupchak's team, thanking them for closing so many deals in the end.

The new lineup of the Lakers will also be released.

Center and power forward positions Gasol, Jordan Hill, Biedrins, Mike Roberts, Troy Murphy.

Small forward position Artest, McGrady, Barnes, Devin Ebanks, Christian Eyanga.

Scoring and point guard positions Kobe, Curry, Blake, Ramon Sessions, Jeremy Lin, Goodlock.

There are currently 16 players in total, and they can be delegated to free up two places for Dior or other players who may buy out the contract.

Back at the apartment at one o'clock in the morning, Su Yang clicked on Twitter and found that fans were discussing the shocking trade between Bynum and Curry.

Many fans thought the Lakers were doomed, and they actually listened to Su Yang's slander and exchanged a super center for a glass point guard.

Su Yang can understand those tweets. After all, the time is limited, and Curry's injury is indeed serious, but Durant was so excited that he forgot to cut the trumpet, and tweeted: "My brother Su Yang will swell you sooner or later. The faces of these doubters..."

　Three consecutive days and three shifts, never done it before...
