Chapter 144 Players who are not in the future plan

"Mobley, Carmen, Cassel"

After almost three full days of thinking, Lan Shengli finally wrote the Clippers' starting double backcourt and starting center in the answer to the third question.

Obviously, Lan Shengli's deliberation made him decide that he didn't want to hide anything. Perhaps Lan Shengli is also ready to question the management and the selected players.

Now that three days have passed, Lan Shengli has returned to the Clippers base and handed over the test paper to the interviewer. Seeing Lan Shengli's answer, the interviewer is also talking about it

"Looks like I'm going to have another discussion with these gangsters~~"

Seeing this, Lan Shengli secretly sighed.

"Bruce, there seems to be some disagreement in our answers to your three questions. Although the answers are clear here, what we want to know more is how you came up with such an answer, which is your answer. Thinking process~!!"

Sure enough, the general manager's words once again verified Lan Shengli's guess before, and it seemed that an unavoidable verbal war was about to begin.

"I don't think there is any need to say more about the first two questions. You should have no objections to this answer~!"

Lan Shengli must have been prepared long ago, first he asked the question calmly.

Seeing this, the general manager looked at several executives.

"The first two questions are indeed answered very well~!"

Seeing that several executives shook their heads to express no objection, the general manager said.

"The main point of disagreement is the third question. You actually listed the three starting players in the list that is not in the team's future planning. What is the purpose of this~!? Do you want our Clippers to be completely messed up~!? I remember you also said before, that we don’t need to show off~!!”

The general manager then questioned.

"Yes, I did say that there is no need for the Clippers to be bad~~"

Lan Shengli replied quickly.

"But you want to send the three main players away, how can we win the game~!?, do you know the importance of these three players to our team~!?"

The chief assistant coach next to the general manager immediately questioned him with a serious expression.

"That's right, these three players can account for almost one-third of the team's points per game. Mobley's breakthrough and Cassel's leadership in the locker room are valuable assets, but the problem is, what are you talking about? It says "the team's future plan"~!!, that's why I wrote these three people, if it was the present, I would definitely not write like that~~"

Lan Shengli defended himself.

"This~~"

Hearing what Lan Shengli said, the assistant coach didn't know what to say.

"Okay~~ Even if these players are not in the plan in the future, but have you ever thought about who can replace them if they leave the team~!? If no one replaces them, don't we still have to put them aside? It sucks~!!"

The assistant coach thought for a while and continued to forcefully refute.

"There is a saying in China that goes, "The waves behind the Yangtze River drive the waves ahead", do you understand what I mean~!?"

Lan Shengli's answer had a taste of two-handedness.

"There is no Yangtze River in the United States, only the Mississippi River~!"

The assistant coach is still rebutting.

"Okay, okay~~, Bruce, let's explain why these three players are not in the future plan, let's not rush to ask questions, wait for him to explain, and then ask~!!"

Seeing the strong smell of gunpowder at the scene, the general manager said immediately.

"Okay, let me explain it once and improve our overall efficiency~!"

Lan Shengli nodded, agreed, and said.

Lan Shengli then made a statement.

"First of all, Mobley, nicknamed "Old Cat", is 32 years old and may still be at the end of his career peak, or maybe, he may fall soon next season. After all, if a player of this age suffers a serious injury, It will be difficult to recover, and Mobley's physical fitness is not top-notch. Even now, he can still average double-digit points per game for the team, but obviously this is not enough~~And looking at Mobley In his entire career, even when he was in the Rockets, as the peak period of his career, his ability and positioning were just a hurdle. It is short-lived, so Mobley is not a core player who can become a leader~~So I think that at Mobley's current age, in the later stages of his career, there may not be much change, so I think Mobley is not in The team is planning for the future~~”

"My God, Bruce was really a Chinese teacher at Berkeley~?! Really never touched basketball~?! Listening to his analysis, I feel like a professional basketball analyst~!!"

Listening to Lan Shengli's analysis, the general manager sighed.

"Next is Mobley's backcourt partner, the leader of the locker room in your eyes, the spiritual core of the team, Sam, Cassell."

Lan Shengli then analyzed Kassel.

Because of the conversation with the old Dunleavy before, I don't know how Lan Shengli will analyze Kassel.

"Looking at the history of the NBA, a team that may be able to win a championship or establish a dynasty must have a veteran who can live on the field, a veteran who can bring energy to the players. Kassel is currently at this point. To be honest, he did a good job, and no one else in the team can replace Kassel, but the question is, what is the management's positioning for Kassel, in other words. If Kassel is a substitute every game He appeared on the field for about 15 minutes as a substitute for the team. Perhaps Kassel’s positioning is correct, but if he is used as a main player, it would be wrong~!! Kassel is 37 years old after all , will be 38 years old soon, if the team does not find a more energetic and younger guard before Cassel retires, I think it is a strategic failure of the team~!! You can take a look at other The back line of the team, our two combined ages are almost 70 years old, it is really too old~!!, so I don’t mean to send Kassel away or anything, I just correspond To answer the question, Cassel should not appear in the Clippers' future plans, of course. If he can cancel his starting lineup and let him truly become the leader of the locker room, it is also acceptable~!!"

The witty Lan Shengli avoided the most sensitive topic for Cassell, but chose to emphasize his weakness on the pitch, but the final result is the same, that is: to exploit Cassell's rights and status.

"Well~, although I feel a little unbelievable when I look at the list, I still think it makes sense after listening to Bruce's explanation. Alas~~, this is really difficult. Mobley is okay, but Cassel can It's not that easy to lose the starting position~"
