(One hundred and eighteen) Lakers' moves

After winning against the Knicks, the Rockets seem to have regained their winning form and climbed to sixth in the West. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the game, Dale. Curry secretly found Yuanfei, "Little boss, the matter you told me to investigate privately last time has been done." used a lot of connections to dig up some internal information about the Lakers. ”

Yuanfei was overjoyed when he heard this, and in his heart Jason. Bass was a big bump, even more bothering him than the team's poor start. He went home and read every word of the document.

Jason. Bass, 22, is a graduate of the California Institute of Technology. Lakers owner Jerry. Buss' grandson, Lakers vice president Jim. Son of Bass. His current role is Scouting, where he is responsible for the selection of new talents.

Seeing this, Yuan Fei couldn't help but smile contemptuously. Scouts? What about fools? How can a scout dare to interject when the manager talks about tactics? Regardless of the relationship between the boss's family, this Jason's identity is far more than just a scout. He read on.

Jason. Buss has been very interested in the Lakers since he was a child, and often proposed himself to his grandfather Mao Sui to join the team management, but under the strict requirements of the elder Buss, he still completed college before participating in team affairs. This offseason, he went against the crowd and insisted on signing young guard Moh to a three-year contract. Williams, as a result, Williams has played well in recent games and completely exceeded his value. This also gives Jason a voice in the team.

Sure enough, this guy advocated signing Xiao Mo! This further confirms Yuanfei's conjecture.

When it comes to relationships, Jason. Bass has an arrogant personality and has a cold relationship with some of the staff around him. But he has a lot of respect for the player, and in Kobe. The two formed a strong friendship before Bryant became famous. At the same time he and Jeff. Van Gundy also got along, which was also seen by the media as a sign that Van Gundy's work was recognized by the Bass family. Jason's way of working is more offbeat, but it has gradually been recognized by executives such as Bass Sr. Local media in Los Angeles even speculated that the elder Bass intended to pass the throne to Jim because he loved his basketball-loving grandson too much.

(Small story: Old Buss has a lot of industries, and for the Lakers, the second son, Jim. Bass was his preferred successor. Jim has been the team's vice president since '97, and in 2000 the Lakers even retired West, then the manager of operations, and replaced it with the low-key and humble Mitch. Kupchak, paving the way for Jim's succession. West then joined the Grizzlies management, which transformed the Grizzlies from a fish belly to a playoff team. Over the next few years, the elder Bass gradually handed over the team to Jim until his death in 2013. In 2015, Jim officially stepped down as the team owner. Bass takes over as vice president of the team. In addition, the elder Bass had an inappropriate private life, with two illegitimate children, Joey in '85 and Jesse in '88. According to the age of the characters in the novel, these two uncles are more likely to be older than their nephew Jason. Buzz is still young, and Jesse will take over Jason's scouting work in the future)

Soon a deal surfaced, once again confirming Yuanfei's conjecture.

On November 18, the Lakers, Wizards, and Jazz completed a three-way deal involving six players: the Lakers sent Caron. Butler, Chuck. Atkins' two-time starters and a first-round pick in '08 earned him '01 Parallel No. 1 pick. Brown and Jazz's '05 first-round picks (top-three picks protected); The Jazz sent next year's first-round pick, starting center Jerone. Collins and point guard Carlos. Arroyo, got Atkins, Lalon. Profitt and the Lakers' draft picks; The Wizards sent center Kwame. Brown and shooting guard Profitt got Caron. Butler, Carlos. Arroyo and Jeron. Collins.

The media has given high praise to the Wizards and Jazz to the trade of both teams, Brown has been carefully cultivated by the Wizards for 3 years, and last season he only averaged 10+7 per game. And he has less than a year left on his contract, and considering that he is only 22 years old and still has room for improvement, the amount of money in the next contract will not be too small. If you wait until the end of the season, you will either bet on the unknown possibilities of Brown, or you will see him go in vain, so it is better to sell it sooner. And the defender Profitte himself has little playing time and belongs to the dispensable marginal people. It is always good to be able to exchange two rotation players in their playing years, 24-year-old Barrett and 25-year-old Arroyo.

For the Jazz, they invested heavily in the summer signings, signed a lot of players, and are looking to make some progress this season. Controllable ball guards have become their shortcomings, Arroyo, who was killed in the Olympics, returned to the United States and suddenly couldn't play, and in the previous game against the underdog Bobcats, Arroyo only made 1 of 4 shots and only got 2 points and 4 assists. And the substitute Easley does not have a high talent, so he can only play with Liao Hua, a general in Shuzhong, as a vanguard. Atkins is a seasoned veteran who is invaluable to the Jazz, not to mention a future draft pick. Sending a pseudo-starter Collins doesn't matter at all, and the center that the Jazz value more is the blockbuster new signing Oku. Arroyo's new four-year contract is likely to be junk based on his recent performances, and it is worth celebrating for the Jazz to be able to throw a hand.

Only for the Lakers, the media gave harsh evaluations. The Lakers' roster has changed a lot as a result of the summer purge, and most of the media is pessimistic about their future. As a result, the Lakers got off to a good start, playing a 5-4 record, which was higher than the fans' expectations, and even the call for Kobe Bryant's MVP rose for a while. But the Lakers immediately self-destructed the Great Wall and sent two starters, only getting the famous parallel No. 1 and a draft pick. Could it be that the Lakers are confident that they will develop Brown as the next O'Neal? As for the Jazz's draft picks, the media doesn't look at them at all, and the Jazz are currently at the top of the rankings with 6 wins and 2 losses!

But Yuanfei knows very well that in his previous life, due to the injury of the star Kirilenko, the Jazz lost consecutive games and finally ranked second to last in the West. The Jazz's draft pick for next year is like a piece of fat, and he's staring at it. Unexpectedly, this piece of fat Old Dawson couldn't get it, but let the Lakers get it. And for the Lakers, Atkins is dispensable, and sending him away just corrects Mo. Williams.

This seemingly loss-making deal for the Lakers is actually taking advantage of it, which is exactly the same as the previous Rocket-Hawks trade. This made Yuanfei completely confirmed, this Jason. Bus, nine times out of ten, is the same as himself.

If the Lakers' signing of Van Gundy stemmed from the fact that the Rockets and Lao Tang fulfilled their long-term contracts, the signing of Xiao Mo can also be interpreted as a fringe player with little impact. This three-way transaction involves a large range and has a wide impact, and it will never be a butterfly effect caused by flying far. is changing the history of the league, except for Jason. There was at least one other person besides the king. And at the moment there is only this Jason. Bas is a figure who never existed in Yuanfei's impression.

"It's really interesting, I didn't expect to win a championship, and there will be similar people to grab business." Yuanfei, who thought clearly, couldn't help but laugh. "Let's compare who has stronger management ability, who has stronger basketball knowledge, and who can really dominate this league!"

The next day, the Jazz lost to the Eastern Conference giants Heat, and this was only the beginning of their decline. Jason in L.A. Buzz is already laughing so much, right? (To be continued.) )
