NBA’s aging star system

After Su Tian received the call, he immediately rushed to the Lakers' meeting room.

As soon as Su Tian entered, he found that all the important figures from the Lakers were already there, including Jenny, Pelinka, Johnson and others.

When Jenny saw Su Tian come in, she immediately stood up to greet him.

"Su! You're here, sit down quickly!"

Aunt Jenny was very attentive and kept looking at Su Tian with a smile.

Su Tian naturally understands the ways of the world and welcomes them with a smile.

“Jenny, you’re so polite, let’s start the meeting soon.”

"Okay, Rob, you can chair the meeting." Jenny gave Pelinka a look.

"Okay, then let's start the meeting."

"At present, the approximate transactions in the free market have basically been determined. The main ones that we need to pay attention to are also our biggest competitors next season, namely the Clippers, Heat, Nets, Bucks, and Warriors."

"As for the Clippers, although they lost Harrell, they also added Ibaka. Of course, the most important thing is that James and Leonard are still there, and the head coach has also been replaced by Tyronn Lue, who James is more familiar with. The Clippers' combat effectiveness in a season cannot be underestimated."

"Everyone should know that the Nets have formed a lineup of Durant, Irving, and Harden. The bench lineup is also quite strong. Now they still need a suitable head coach to lead them."

"The Bucks and Heat are currently in similar states. They have both maintained their main framework and made some additions. Their strength is steadily improving."

While Pelinka introduced the current main situation in the league, Su Tian also looked through the information on his seat.

The situation in the information is basically the same as what Pelinka introduced, but everyone can see it more clearly.

"The situation is basically like this. Let's talk about your opinions." After Pelinka's introduction, Jenny said.

"I think the biggest opponent in the West should be the Clippers, and as for the East, it should be the Nets." A management said.

"I don't think so. I think we can't underestimate the Warriors and Bucks. These two teams are our biggest enemies." Another management retorted.

"Actually, you have all missed the Suns. I think the Suns can do great things next season."

"Suns? You might as well say the Nuggets are more likely."

"I think the one in the Eastern Conference should be the Heat."

For a moment, the entire conference room was like a vegetable market, and everyone was expressing their opinions. On the contrary, Jenny, Pelinka, and Johnson remained silent.

Su Tian observed for a while and found that these people were not exactly expressing their own opinions, but more like rebutting for the sake of rebuttal.

Su Tian understood after a moment's thought that the Lakers' internal problems still existed, but they were suppressed temporarily and were not caught by the outside world.

But there is no impermeable wall in the world. As long as the Lakers still have internal problems, they will be exploited by someone with ulterior motives sooner or later.

Just when everyone was making a fuss, Jenny finally spoke.

"Okay, don't argue anymore. If you have opinions and opinions, just come one by one. Rob, you can talk about it first."

"Okay, let me talk first." Pelinka stood up.

"First of all, our main goal next season is still to win the championship, so we don't have to think too much about the Eastern Conference, because in the end there will only be one team out of the Eastern Conference, and we have enough time to deal with it. We should focus more on the Western Conference."

"I think the first thing that the West should pay attention to is the Clippers in the same city as us. Not only because the Clippers are strong, but also because we are in the same city and we must not lose to them!"

"In addition, there are also levels of attention that need to be paid attention to. I think they are, in order, the Warriors, Nuggets, Suns, Jazz, Trail Blazers, and an emerging force, the Mavericks!"

Next, Pelinka introduced the basic situation of each team individually. On the whole, it was very complete, with no loopholes or gaps.

After listening to Pelinka’s explanation, Jenny nodded in agreement.

Then Jenny turned to look at Johnson who was aside.

"Erwin, what do you think?"

Johnson sorted out the materials in his hand and said.

"Robert has already explained it very clearly in the west, but I think I can add some analysis of the situation in the east. After all, the current situation in the east is too complicated, and it is impossible to tell who can successfully break through."

So next, Johnson explained each team in the Eastern Conference, and finally summarized the danger ranking: Nets, Heat, Bucks, Philadelphia, Celtics, Hawks.

Everyone present agreed with Johnson's analysis, including Su Tian.

After Johnson finished his analysis, Jenny concluded.

"Does anyone have a different opinion?" Jenny finally asked.

Everyone present looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.

"Su, what do you think? You can also tell me." Seeing that no one was speaking, Jenny turned to look at Su Tian.

"I think what you two just said is complete, and I don't have anything to add." Su Tian said.

"Okay, since no one has anything to add, let's just finalize this list, and then we'll have to worry about our coaching staff." Jenny said.

Wharton immediately responded after hearing this: "Okay, no problem."

At this point, the meeting was over, and Su Tian was about to go home, but was secretly stopped by Johnson, who turned around and walked to Johnson's office.

When Su Tian came to the office, head coach Walton came in with him.

"Su, how's it going? What do you think of the meeting just now?" Johnson asked directly.

"I don't have any opinions. Your analysis is quite professional. I listen to the team's arrangements and have no objections." Su Tian said nonchalantly.

Johnson nodded after hearing this, and then Johnson talked about the team's current lineup.

"Su, regarding the team's current lineup, do you think there is anything else that needs to be adjusted? Do you need me to sign a few more people?"

Su Tian pondered for a while and said: "There is no need for big adjustments at the moment, the lineup is enough."

"That's good. If you need anything else in the future, be sure to contact me in time."

"Don't worry Erwin, I will."

After bidding farewell to Johnson and Walton, Su Tian returned home and continued to adjust his condition to prepare for the next season.

Time passed very quickly. In the past few days, Su Tian was adjusting to his condition while enjoying his hard-earned vacation, and finally waited for the start of the training camp.

The Lakers' offseason is very short, so it is natural that some players are still on vacation and have not fully adjusted their condition.

But what Su Tian didn't expect was that it would be Paul George who had problems.

Su Tian looked at George, who had gained two pounds in front of him, and then at George's bulging general belly. He couldn't believe his eyes.

Su Tian knew that George would be a little more indulgent this offseason, but he didn't expect that he would indulge so thoroughly.
