Chapter 683
In addition to the free market, the trading market is also full of major events. After the Celtics formed a super team, they became the biggest favorite of the new season in one fell swoop.

As the mortal enemy of the Celtics, the Lakers were not far behind, and used a method of almost robbery in exchange for the No. [-] player of the Grizzlies, Pau Gasol.

"Have you ever seen someone exchange a few coins for a hundred dollars? We don't think you have seen it. This transaction is like this." Spurs coach Popovich publicly expressed his dissatisfaction.

What did the Lakers pay for this deal?

The Grizzlies traded Gasol to the Lakers for Kwame Brown, Aaron McGee, Kerry Tanton, the rights to Marc Gasol and two first-round picks in 2008 and 2010 , It seems that the Lakers have given away a lot. In fact, apart from the two first rounds, Kwame Brown is a well-known parallel import champion. Kerry Tanton only stayed in the Grizzlies for three months. Kigeng was just making up the numbers, and was bought out as soon as the transaction was made, and there was also Gasol Jr. whose prospects were underestimated.

"I'm so excited we got Paul, next season we will rise! #湖人国家" from the official Lakers.

For the Zijin Army, the introduction of Gasol is just the beginning.

Soon, the "beast" Ron Artest, who became a free agent this summer, announced through the media in a high-profile manner: "I can't wait to join forces with Kobe!"

The news stirred up waves, and a few days later, the Lakers announced the signing of Artest.

"Adolf, I said I'm not interested in Catholicism, so you don't have to waste your time." Bai Jidong said directly to Kenzad.

Kenzad naturally expected to be rejected by him, but he didn't say much, "White Wolf, if you have faith, you won't lose your way on the way forward."

"Even if I have faith, I will lose my way." Bai Jidong didn't want to talk too much with this magic stick.

Such an argument seems meaningless, Bai Jidong just came to the church at Chu Meng's entrustment.

"The constant winning has blinded your eyes, and you need to open your eyes to see more," Kenzad said.

Bai Jidong only wondered what was the plan of this magic stick, and made a worried expression, "Adolf, what do you want me to do for you?"

Kenzad expressed indifferently, "I just want you to know that there are still many things worth doing. We should enjoy the moment and run with all our strength."

This kind of chicken soup has no effect on Bai Weidong, he was about to leave when a child who looked less than ten years old walked towards him.

"White Wolf, can you please sign me?" The boy carefully took out a fake Timberwolves No. 12 jersey.

Bai Jidong could tell the fake jersey at a glance: "Where did you buy the jersey?" "It was a gift from a friend," said the child.

"Zook, remember what I told you?" Kenzad asked.

The kid named Zuke nodded: "I won't let you sign me for nothing. In return, I promise to help you do one thing."

"Father, what is this?" Bai Jidong didn't understand what kind of ecstasy Kenzad was playing.

"If you want to get something, you must get something in return. This is a truth that God can understand without teaching us. You have to let this child do something for you before you can sign him." Kenzad said.

What does Bai Jidong need this child to do for him?Or in other words, what could the boy do for him?
Bai Jidong's mind moved slightly, and he thought: "How about this, you go and buy me a new jersey, the number is whatever you like."

With that said, Bai Jidong took out money from his pocket and handed it to Zu Ke.

Zu Ke didn't ask much, picked up the money and went out.

"Look, we observe carefully, and you can also discover the joy of small things." Kenzad is about to preach again.

Bai Jidong asked: "Where is the child's family?" "Not long ago, there was a murder case in Apolis. The victim was Zuke's parents. No relatives were willing to take him in..." Kenzad said Zook's history.

"He is a very kind child, but a little cowardly." Kenzad said casually.

Bai Jidong knew that Kenzade was also an orphan and grew up in the church, maybe Zuke reminded him of his former self.

"Life is like a puzzle, and it is difficult for us to find the answer, just like you who are lost." Kenzad said, "Maybe you don't have faith, but everyone needs a spiritual resting place, and the church is a good place."

Kenzad is a very strange person. He is fanatical about beliefs, passionate about people and things, transparent about the truth, and knows everything around him like the back of his hand.

His language has magical powers, which can shorten the distance between people. Bai Weidong has set up many obstacles for him, but Kenzad uses his language to pass through the obstacles silently and reach Bai Weidong's heart. Knock hard on the door.

"Maybe you are right, but the church is not necessarily the resting place of my soul, I have no cold for you at all." Bai Jidong once again rejected Kenzad.

About half an hour later, Zook returned to the church with a new genuine Timberwolves away black No. 12 jersey.

Bai Jidong picked up a pen and wrote his name on it eloquently, "Take it." "But... this is your jersey." Zuke didn't react.

"Of course I didn't give it to you for nothing. In exchange, your original jersey belongs to me." Bai Jidong said.

Zook didn't know that the jersey was fake, so he readily accepted Bai Weidong's proposal.

Bai Jidong took the fake jersey and asked Kenzad to resign, "I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." "Goodbye, be careful all the way." Kenzad said.

A resting place for the soul?Bai Jidong recalled Kenzade's words, if there is such a place, it is in his home, not in the church.

Although Bai Jidong has never interfered with the team's signings, if necessary, he will personally recruit those favorite free agents.

James Posey, who officially became a free agent this year, is Bai Jidong's goal.

Posey has repeatedly emphasized that money is not important, but the competitiveness of the team is the most important.

The Celtics, Lakers, and Timberwolves have all invited Posey.From the perspective of book strength, the Celtics are undoubtedly a super team above all teams. The Lakers and Timberwolves each have their own strengths.

It seems that the Celtics are most likely to get Posey. On the eve of Posey's decision, he came to Bai Jidong's home in Apolis, Minnesota.

"Whether this meal can satisfy you depends on whether your decision tomorrow can satisfy me." Bai Jidong smiled, "Now tell me about your decision."

"OK, my decision is the Los Angeles Clippers." Posey laughed.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "If you really go to the Clippers for a big contract, I don't blame you." "Do you really need me?" Posey asked.

It's not unreasonable for Posey to ask this question. Although Garnett is gone, the Timberwolves' striker is still full of talents.

Regardless of Bai Jidong, Battier is in his prime, and Vashabek is in a period of rapid growth. If Posey comes, the flank personnel reserves will be overflowing.

"Our second team needs a veteran who is reliable, strong defensively, and has all-round abilities. You are a good fit." Bai Jidong said.

"If I go to the Lakers, I can start. Can you give me a reason to join you as a substitute?" Posey asked.

"There is no good reason, this is my invitation, how you choose is up to you." Bai Jidong didn't explain much.

From the perspective of winning the championship, the Celtics are the most preferred; from the positioning given by the team, the Lakers are the most preferred; the Timberwolves are neither the most competitive team nor the best paid team.

"Let me think about it again. If you treat me to a big meal, maybe I will make a choice that pleases you." Percy suddenly put the topic aside.

Bai Jidong laughed, and asked people to bring up all the prepared meals: "Eat, I look forward to your choice tomorrow."

Although Bai Jidong went through a lot of trouble, Posey did not choose to join the Timberwolves in the end.

The next day, Posey announced through Inu: I will join the Celtics and become part of this team with a great history. Let us cut off the trachea of ​​all enemies in the new season!
This is also the status quo that Mingzhou must face.

Even though they have won three consecutive championships, not many players are willing to patronize here.

The Timberwolves basically retained the main rotation of last season. Eddie Griffin, who has not yet renewed his contract, announced in a high profile that he will complete the contract renewal with the team as soon as possible.

Griffin made it clear that he wants to stay in Minnesota for a long time, and the team is willing to keep him. This is a win-win choice.

The offseason is still very long, the team is running around all over the world, and Griffin is doing nothing overall.

"Eddie, don't invite me to watch porn anymore, because you and I are becoming more and more impure." Bai Jidong said this every time before watching porn.

After reading it, it was another situation.

"These guys are really good at fucking, don't they eat bullwhip every day?" If Bai Jidong's fans saw Bai Jidong so boastful about the sexual ability of AV male actors, more than one fifth of his fans would turn away. .

Griffin is happy to have someone to discuss AV content with him: "These guys are so rough, I like Rocko, rough and elegant."

"Come on, doesn't that Italian guy take actresses for granted?" Bai Jidong was deeply impressed by Rocco's brutality towards actresses.

"If you've seen Vidal, you know that Rocco is as gentle as a prince in a fairy tale. Vidal is the real cruelty. His brutality is directly proportional to the strength of his dick." Griffin told the actor It's like a treasure.

Bai Jidong leaned back, "Eddie, every time I watch an AV with you, I feel a deep sense of guilt. Why do I have to be so depraved?"

"Degenerate? No, this is art! You are admiring the greatest art in human history. How can appreciating art be called degenerate?" Griffin asked.

There is probably only one person who can say that watching AV is so noble.

"You know my wife is pregnant, what should I do when I see you wanting to go home?" Bai Jidong complained.

Griffin said: "In extraordinary times, don't pick and choose. What is useful is the kingly way."

"Damn it, next time don't call me to your house for viewing artworks." Bai Jidong has seen through this guy's tricks thoroughly.

Griffin is so big that there is no one who is a bosom friend with a sense of desolation.

"White Wolf, I feel like we'll be playing together for a long time," Griffin said.

Bai Jidong smiled and said: "If you continue to look at it like this, you will be empty in the near future. Don't underestimate the NBA, Eddie."

"I just can't see my hands, how can I hollow out my body?"

This is another unsolved mystery, how did Griffin hold back?
"Anyway, watch less, for your own good." Bai Jidong said.

On this day, Bai Jidong stayed late and left.

He never imagined that this was the last time he and Griffin would be together.
