Chapter 74
The team gave up the powerful veteran Samuel Dalembert and established Whiteside as the No. [-] candidate for the team's center position. Ordinarily, although Whiteside's athletic ability is visible to the naked eye, can Dalembert be squeezed out just by virtue of his untapped talent?

From the perspective of the team, coach Westphal has confirmed that Cousins ​​will get more playing time next season, which reduces the value of the backup center in the team, and the team has confirmed that it will add a powerful player. At the fourth position, it is very likely that David West is at present. Rookie Kenneth Faried also needs playing time to develop, which will reduce the playing time of Jason Thompson in the team. Jason Thompson will be at the five some of the time.

Based on the above, the team does not have high requirements for the position of the backup center, and it is reasonable to give Whiteside more opportunities to train.

However, from a personal point of view, coach Westphal's decision to use Whiteside as the preferred backup center was more or less affected by some emotions.Tyreke has mentioned Whiteside to Coach Westphal many times, hoping to give Whiteside more opportunities, and now Tyreke has a very high status in the team, and he has a great relationship with the team. It is well known that the owner's daughter has a close relationship, and the big boss Vivek Ranadive also maintains a sidelined attitude towards the relationship between the two. Consider the impact.

However, a recent incident once again gave the team management a new understanding of Tyreke's vision.

After Tyreke finished his streetball, he returned to Sacramento and re-entered training.As time went on, Tyreke knew that the end of the lockout was getting closer.At the beginning of November 2011, Tyreke posted a status on his Twitter, only two short words: Paul?Clippers?
Tyrek knows the development and changes in the next few years, it is simply the ability to predict the future!Now, as an online social expert, he has long had an idea in his heart. He wants to fulfill one of his dreams and become a breaking news master stronger than Adrian Wojnarowski!

Although the details of the past memory are a bit vague, but I can still get a rough idea. At the same time, even if some things deviate from the memory due to my own reasons, most things still continue to develop with the progress of history.Adrian Wojnarowski broke the news in advance through various reports, but Tyreke was able to be a great diviner similar to a prophet a long time in advance!

In Tyreke's memory, Chris Paul will join the Los Angeles Clippers at the end of 2011. Before that, the league also stopped the three-way deal between the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Lakers in trust.Then I will use the big deal of Chris Paul's transfer to kick off the prelude to becoming a master of breaking news!
When Tyreek posted this tweet, with Tyreek's current fan base of more than 700 million, there were thousands of messages and comments soon.
"What do you mean? Paul will go to the Clippers? Are you kidding me?"

"Paul will indeed come to Los Angeles, but we are the Los Angeles Lakers!"

"Terek, you are so funny, is this your unfounded prediction?"

"Paul will definitely leave New Orleans this year. He has stated more than once that he hopes to be traded, and he named him to go to a big city, but it can't be the Clippers!"

"Tyreke, are you joking? Although you are good at playing football, you really don't know anything about the transfer market."

"Paul has named to go to New York or Los Angeles, and it is indeed possible to go to the Clippers."

"Tyreke, do you want to watch a fierce Los Angeles derby?"

"Paul will definitely team up with Kobe in the Los Angeles Lakers!"

Tyreke looked at the comments of netizens on his twitter, and couldn't help showing a smile...

On December 2011, 12, Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak and Houston Rockets general manager Darryl Morey and New Orleans Hornets general manager Dell Depps devised a three-way deal. The Los Angeles Lakers sent Paul Gasol to Rockets, Lamar Odom to New Orleans Hornets for Chris Paul; Houston Rockets for Luis Scola, Goran Dragic, Kevin Martin and 8 first-rounder Signed to the New Orleans Hornets, get Pau Gasol.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the three general managers had reached an agreement on the deal. Chris Paul and Kobe Bryant joined forces. This super deal that shocked the entire basketball world began to be reported by major media. Netizens dug up Shi Tyreke's Twitter more than a month ago.

"Hahaha, face slap! Naked face slap!"

"Tyreke, are you embarrassed?!"

"Let's play well, don't make predictions..."

"The Lakers Championship!"

……

Facing the ridicule all over the screen, and thinking of the super big reversal a few days later, Tyreke showed a smile again...

However, Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak overlooked one point. He is making this deal with one of the most special teams in NBA history. The league has managed the New Orleans Hornets for a full year, theoretically. , The ownership of the New Orleans Hornets is shared by the other 29 team owners, which means that the New Orleans Hornets' decision-making is based on the interests of the other 29 teams that compete with it.

As a result, at around 9 o'clock that night, league president David Stern suddenly issued a statement that the three-party deal between the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans Hornets, and Houston Rockets was suspended due to "basketball reasons."

Such an unexpected thing happened in a few hours, and the entire basketball world was shocked again...

And four days later, the league agreed to a deal between the New Orleans Hornets and the Los Angeles Clippers. The Los Angeles Clippers sent Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Al-Farouq Aminu and Protected first-round pick, got Chris Paul and two 2015 second-round picks.

Paul eventually went to Los Angeles, but not with Kobe Bryant, but with superstar Blake Griffin!
After several twists and turns, Chris Paul's transfer turmoil finally came to an end, and at this moment, Tyreke's twitter became a hot topic again. From the endless ridicule a few days ago, to this time, netizens were slapped in the face in reverse!
"My God! Terek, you are awesome!"

"This wave of reversal makes my little heart a little unbearable..."

"Terek! Strong!"

"Understood..."

"It's a bit powerful to be able to guess."

……

Tyreke's tweet drew hot comments from netizens three times in a row.

Although people believe that this is a random guess by Tyreek, but it also planted the seeds for Tyreek to become the god of Internet breaking news in the future...
