Donovan Mitchell was originally a little complaining, thinking that it was because of the unpopularity of his type of player, so Shen Huan did not choose himself to be the strongest 5 people.

As a result, I didn't expect that Shen Huan actually valued him very much.

But what the hell is selfishness?

Before he could ask, Kobe Bryant spoke, "It's not Shen Huan's fault, I asked him for help...... Donovan, I want you to join the Lakers next season and play with the three of us old guys and go for the win, would you?"

"Huh!?"

Donovan Mitchell was surprised, but it immediately dawned on him!

It turns out that they hit this idea!

insisted that Shen Huan not choose me, so that the outside world's evaluation of me would be lowered, so that they could get me.

On the one hand, Donovan Mitchell was a little annoyed and felt that he had been tricked.

But more often than not, it was ecstatic.

It turns out that the Lakers are so eager for me, and it turns out that Kobe Bryant values me so much!

"I've always wanted you after watching your highlights. Howard also said, "The Lakers' defense is a problem, if you're on the outside, I'm on the inside, we work together, and I believe the defensive solidity will be greatly improved." ”

Howard is an interior player who doesn't have much to do with Donovan Mitchell's outside line.

But what an honor it is for such a superstar to openly extend an invitation to a rookie to build the Lakers' backline with him?

Prove that he Donovan Mitchell is a very important player!

Looking at the rookie's excited appearance, Kobe Bryant's eyes didn't understand, but he quietly touched Shen Huan with his hand, signaling that it was time for him to continue performing.

Shen Huan smiled bitterly.

But he still looked at Donovan Mitchell and said: "Mitchell, you are not yet 20 years old, and the place you need to stay in is a place where you can play often, and there are superstar seniors around you to help you grow."

The Lakers are very short of players like you who have strong defensive ability and strong physical fitness, and if you come here, you should have a good workout. ”

Donovan Mitchell is a die-hard fan of Shen Huan, and when he heard this, he was even more energetic, "Really?

"Of course. ”

Shen Huan nodded, "What's more, our Lakers team is mainly offensive, and while you defend well, you can also actively participate in the offense." Isn't it good to have Allen and Kobe Bryant to teach you offensively, Dwight to teach you experience on defense, and to play in the Lakers, the most talked about super team?"

Donovan Mitchell still hesitated when he saw this, "That's what you said, then I'll listen to you!"

"Good!"

Kobe Bryant interjected at this time, "After you go back, let your agent call Kupchak, and let's discuss it well, how about it?"

He wanted to get things decided quickly.

Donovan Mitchell scratched his head, "I haven't hired an agent yet, it's our coach who helps me take care of some things." ”

"That's more convenient. Bryant said, "I'll introduce my agent to you, and with me here, he won't cheat you." ”

Shen Huan's eyes moved.

This old Kobe Bryant is really hard enough for the Lakers, and even his agent has to contribute.

But when I think about it, it feels normal.

Kobe Bryant is retiring in two years, and his agent will definitely need more good players to solidify his position.

On the one hand, Kobe Bryant guaranteed that Donovan Mitchell would definitely come to the Lakers, and on the other hand, he also wanted to introduce more good seedlings to his agent.

After all, the two have been cooperating for so many years, and with Kobe's status, even if he doesn't play basketball, he will not lack commercial activities, and he is still the agent's signboard.

The relationship between the two will always be very close.

"Okay, thank you!" Donovan Mitchell also breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

He's not an old fox, but he's not an idiot either.

The guarantee of having so many superstars represents an attitude of the Lakers towards him.

In addition, even if Shen Huan leaves, Kobe's influence on this team is conceivable, and he will not let himself be wronged at all.

If you go to another team, it's not necessarily better than the Lakers.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, if you don't get along with the Lakers in the future, it will be in the future.

The most important thing now is to play more and improve more, so that we can talk about the future.

With Donovan Mitchell's commitment and his agreement to let Kobe's agent take care of it himself, Kobe Bryant really smiled.

This meant that the young man could not escape.

Although he can't get superstars such as Fultz, Lonzo Ball, and Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell can be regarded as the best choice after his own observations.

Wait a minute.

Isn't the draft of the United States in order of first served?

Doesn't the team ahead have absolute priority?

If it was the team in front, for example, the Brooklyn Nets chose Donovan Mitchell in advance, wouldn't the Lakers be disappointed?

Theoretically, it is.

In practice, however, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

Which team has an idea about which player, especially the player in the first round, is usually greeted by the team in advance, and everyone discusses whether they have a crush on each other.

If you like each other, that's good, and the players will give the team a promise that if you draft me with your signing, I'll go to your team.

If another team cuts off the team, I'll ask them to trade themselves to come to your team.

Of course, you must also pay a little price to make other teams willing to let people go.

In such a thing, as long as the player's will is strong, usually the team will not be able to be a villain.

There are so many good players, there is no need to be so stiff, otherwise it would be bad to spend millions of dollars to raise a person who can't work hard?

On the other hand, if the team comes to a player before the draft, the player is happy to say, "I've made an agreement with another team, you go find someone else."

Then the team usually doesn't put a draft spot on this player - it's all a deal anyway, and it's better to get it all at once and find a wishful person.

Boss Joe in 1984 was so moved by the Bulls' promise in advance that he would definitely go to the Bulls.

The Bulls only have the third pick.

Otherwise, in fact, Boss Qiao is very likely to be the champion show!

After all, Boss Joe that year was the soul of leading the team to win the NCAA championship!

So don't be confused by the superficial news, thinking that the draft was selected that year, because the champion was not Boss Qiao, so Boss Qiao was not the best.

In fact, people have always been the best!
