ace marshal

Chapter 883

In the Chesapeake Energy Center and in the locker room of the visiting team of the Clippers, the players were eating and looking at their mobile phones without any communication with each other.

After all, a fiasco made them very disappointed.

Lan Shengli quickly returned to the locker room, encouraging the players.

Lan Shengli hopes that the team members can quickly get out of the shadow of defeat.

"Coach, I heard that the team is going to give up this season, and it's going to be a mess. Is this true~!"

Harden asked suddenly.

"Mr. Sterling's previous internal letter has already made it clear~!"

Lan Shengli responded immediately with a serious expression.

"I know about that letter, but why are veterans like Gooden not in the team anymore? I know they are not injured~!!"

Harden continued to question.

"I'm not very clear about the specific situation of this matter. Anyway, because of Brand's reimbursement for the season, the team will definitely make some strategic adjustments. Besides, isn't Camby still on the team~ Don't think too much, just Just focus on playing well.”

Lan Shengli responded.

"The situation of this season is really similar to last season. We played well at the beginning of the season, but we were about to fail at the beginning of the season. We had a chance to make the playoffs. As a player, everyone wants to feel The atmosphere of the playoffs, there is no doubt~!!"

Little Jordan was talking while eating the sausage.

It seems that the players have great opinions on the team's strategic adjustment.

"Then let me ask you a question, after being swept out 0:4 in the early playoffs and working hard to win the first round and go further, which one do you choose~?!"

Lan Shengli looked at Little Jordan and asked.

"As a player, of course I want to win the championship, there is no doubt about it~"

Little Jordan regained his composure, nodded and said.

"Okay, then let me tell you, the team is doing this now in order to become a team that can compete for the championship as soon as possible. If you believe that the team is doing this, you must obey unconditionally~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"There is no such thing as bad performance. Everyone must remember that I increase playing time for young players in the hope that you can grow quickly and become players who help the team win games and become the mainstay~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

When the team members heard what Lan Shengli said, they were speechless and continued to eat and change their clothes.

Because there are still away games to play next, the team quickly left the arena and left Oklahoma City.

"I hope to come here again next time, and I can take away a beautiful victory ~!!"

Lan Shengli sat in the bus and sighed.

Because of this loss, the Clippers, the No.7 Spurs, and the No.8 Thunder have shrunk to half a game, and a game and a half. It seems that the sixth position in the West will be lost.

But for today's Clippers management, they hope to "unable to keep it" as soon as possible, in exchange for a top draft pick, which is the kingly way.

In the next few games, the Clippers still had fewer wins and more losses. Not only did their record quickly return to below [-]%, but they were already out of the top eight, "forwarding ahead" toward the lottery zone.

As the trade deadline approaches, the Clippers are becoming more active in the trade market.

After all, the Clippers now have many players who want to leave the team.

Especially players like Gooden who are still capable of fighting are also very marketable.

And Gooden has made it clear that he hopes the Clippers can send him away before the trade deadline, not in the summer.

In other words, Gooden hopes to leave immediately this season.

In order to ensure the feasibility of the transaction, the general manager found Lan Shengli, and the two discussed in the former's office.

"Here are the offers from several teams for Gooden, take a look~"

As the general manager spoke, he handed Lan Shengli several documents.

"I didn't expect the market conditions of Gooden to be quite good~"

Lan Shengli took a rough look and said immediately.

"Yeah, after all, Gooden was once a quasi-All-Star player, and now he may not be as brave as before, but it shouldn't be a problem for a playoff team to score 10 points and 15 minutes~"

The general manager said.

"That's right, it's just that the bargaining chips that these teams can offer are not satisfactory~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and sighed.

"Yeah, it includes trades like the Suns and Trail Blazers that are literally robbing, not only won't they even come up with a second round pick, but even let us swallow some garbage contracts for them, it's crazy Already~"

The general manager shook his head and sighed.

"This is the truth of "rushing to the top is not a business"~"

Lan Shengli also sighed.

"What do you mean~?!"

When the general manager heard this, he frowned and asked.

"Oh, there is a Chinese slang saying that we are the relatively passive party in the transaction process. Because Gooden put forward the application for leaving the team, other teams will definitely not raise the price, but will only lower the price of each other. They know that we will make a move sooner or later. ~"

Lan Shengli explained.

"In this case, we really seem too passive~"

The general manager shook his head and sighed.

"If we keep Gooden until the summer, he has one year left on his contract. It's really a good deal for those teams who want to free up salary space. Maybe at that time, the value of Gooden's trade can be maximized. ~"

Lan Shengli analyzed.

"You mean, don't trade Gooden now~?!"

the general manager asked.

"We don't need to hurt the overall operation of the team in order to meet the selfish demands of a player. The most beneficial capital for rebuilding the team is the salary space. If we swallow the garbage contract in order to send Gooden away, it will be very disadvantageous. Already~!!"

Lan Shengli shook his head and said.

"The other thing is to maintain the flexibility of salary space, which can help us operate in the free market in the summer. Signing big-name players is always the fastest way to rebuild~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"It makes sense, it makes sense~"

The general manager listened and nodded.

"It's just that Gooden's management team is pushing hard, creating a lot of pressure on the management~"

The general manager shook his head and sighed.

"Golden himself knows that at this time, his trade value is the greatest, and he has the best chance to go to a championship-level team, so he is in a hurry to leave, but still the same sentence, we can't satisfy a player's needs. Selfishness has affected our entire reconstruction plan~!!, this is a business alliance, we must have certain "ambition" to do it~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Suddenly it feels like you are the general manager of the team, haha~!!"

The general manager listened, was taken aback, and said with a smile.
