lakers championship

Chapter 180 Fighting in the Air
After the news that the Lakers were willing to eat junk contracts spread on social media, the phones of Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak have been busy, and even private messages from other team managers appeared on Twitter.

The reason is that the salary cap rose sharply in the summer of 2016. Many teams blindly signed one garbage contract after another in order to grab people. Now they all look forward to the Lakers as the savior to take over the garbage contracts.

They know what the Lakers want, picks!
Regardless of whether the second round or the first round can be negotiated, and the Lakers have not even filled the poor line, there is plenty of money for them to trade special cases, 800 million is trivial, 1500 million is not a problem.

As long as they don't be as stupid as the Magic management, they sent Howard away and got a $1700 million trade special from the Lakers, but they failed to play a role in the season, and finally wasted and sent Howard for nothing.

If the Lakers get the pick, they can stud Cousins, or even not Randall.

The Kings sent away Cousins, whom they considered a "stab", and got a lot of draft picks. They can select many high-quality rookies within a few years and complete the reconstruction quickly.

In general, this is a result that the team, the Lakers, and the Kings like to sign junk contracts.

Of course, some teams that are jealous of the Lakers or want to get Cousins ​​don't like it.

Therefore, on the day WOJ broke the news that the Lakers might take over Brewer's contract, some league executives complained anonymously, saying that the Kings should not send Cousins ​​to the Lakers. Early days.

There is three points of truth in making such complaints.

After all, the Pacific Division already has an invincible cosmic brave, and a Clippers composed of Paul + Griffin + Jr. Jordan. If there is another young and strong Lakers, the Kings may only have to compete with the Suns for the top pick.

Subsequently, more sports media and NBA commentators said that if Cousins ​​​​is sent to the Kings, then Divac will be promoted to the title of the stupidest president in history. Currently, only the former Nets general manager Billy King is in front.

However, some commentators said that sending Cousins ​​to the Kings is the best choice for Divac. The bargaining chips shown by the Pelicans in the transaction rumors are as valuable as multiple first-round picks.

Because the rookies known as "Little Curry", "Little Bird" and "Little Nowitzki" were wiped out!
The two sides fought openly and secretly, talking about logic and data, talking about history and feelings, and even involved the old account of the Lakers'relying on' referees to eliminate the Kings in the 02 Western Conference Finals.

The complicated situation is as exciting as "Game of Thrones".

For this reason, fans started a heated discussion, and a post on the REDDIT/NBA board continued to receive replies.

The main post wrote: "I don't want to trade Randall. He is a future star. Tianyang really needs help, but the management should start with free agents instead of replacing Randall."

Floor 1: "Forget it, everyone in the team can trade except Tianyang, and as long as there are enough chips, Tianyang can also trade. The championship is above everything else, and spiritual shareholders should not be self-satisfied."

Floor 2: "Did you get it again? If the Lake Management team trades with SkyOcean, it will probably directly surpass the Kings, Magic, Grizzlies, and Thunder to become the most stupid management in history, and it will never turn around."

Floor 3: "Well, the severity is comparable to the Bulls trading Jordan in 84."

The first floor replies to the second floor: "Have you graduated from junior high school? Children only talk about feelings, adults only talk about interests. If James + Leonard + Paul George come together, they will instantly form a championship lineup that can fight against the invincible universe. Going out of Tianyang + Ingram + Randall, wouldn't you guys come out? Tianyang is not Kobe who has led the team to 1 championships, and there is a serious injury risk of a ruptured Achilles tendon."

4th Floor: "What do you mean by Nima? NMSL, change Nima, what a mess."

5th floor: "The irritable old man joins the discussion..."

Floor 2: "Where's the moderator? Why don't you close the small black room for swearing?"

Floor 6: "No matter what, I hope that Wharton can give Randall and Clarkson more playing time in the next game. Even if they want to trade, they will trade beautifully. After all, their own child."

Floor 7: "Don't talk about it, now we're just waiting for the All-Star Weekend, and everything will be settled by then. Now your discussions are all guesswork. Could it be that your management has roundworms in their stomachs?"

As the fans said, after the rise of trading rumors, they will either end without a cause, or it will take a long time to become a reality. It is meaningless to discuss every day. It is better to do your own thing with peace of mind and wait for the transaction to happen.

The Lakers players also have this kind of mentality. As professional players, they were shocked at the beginning that they might be traded or laid off, but they quickly calmed down afterwards.

So on the Lakers' flight to New Orleans, the team couldn't help but no one was talking, but everyone was talking and laughing, as if all the unhappiness had never happened.

Especially Nick Young, with earphones on his head and a mobile phone in his hand, listening to music and reading the news, his body was shaking all the time, and he laughed from time to time, as excited as if he was taking drugs.

Brushing and brushing, he suddenly stretched his neck, as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

He hurriedly took off the earphones, got up, walked to Tianyang and sat down, patted Tianyang on the shoulder and said:

"Look at this, look at this, the TMZ reporter broke the news that Adidas is working hard to help you get the best player of the month in the first month of the season, plus you will definitely get the best rookie of the month, making you No. 1 in NBA history .”

Tianyang raised his head when he heard the words, glanced at the news and began to ponder.

As a rookie, it is unimaginable to win two honors at the same time in the first month of the first season.

The best rookie is okay, the data is a little bit better, and a 15+5 is completely enough, but the best player of the month is a superstar standard, not only requires good data, but also good team results.

He was about to open his mouth to express his hope, but Ci Shiping who was sitting behind him got up and rushed to say:

"Sounds good, but it's too difficult. The team has a record of 11 wins and 8 losses in November. How can they compete with the Warriors?"

Nick Yang Bai glanced, "Have you forgotten? The record in October will also be counted. We have won consecutively against the Rockets, Jazz, and Thunder. So far, the team's record is 10 wins and 11 losses. As long as we win the last 7 In addition, Tianyang has 2 consecutive games of 13+, and the super data of 7 points and 5 assists against the Warriors, the hope is very high!"

Ci Shiping's eyes lit up, "That's right! Although the Warriors have a good record, Curry and Durant's statistics are not as good as Tianyang's. Don't say it's really possible. Damn! The best player, too exaggerated!"

The discussion between the two attracted the attention of most other players and coaches.

Brian Shaw handed the two a data sheet, "It is still very difficult. Westbrook has a high probability of maintaining an average triple-double after 20 games this month. Tianyang not only has to win the game, Also continue to get super data.”

Nick Yang frowned when he heard the words, "Oh, I'll go, I hope I can hit every shot and give Tianyang more assists. If I hit the iron, it may become a drag."

Brian Shaw smiled slightly, "It doesn't have to be for assists, it's fine to turn on the super scoring mode."

"Sounds like a data showdown with Westbrook?"

　If George didn't come, it would be a miscalculation. It's too much to make a documentary. . .
