Training is in full swing.

Pelinka, the new general manager of the Lakers, was also in a hurry to call around to discuss a trade.

He can't help but be in a hurry, even if he wants to do it.

No way, who made him make a stupid signing before, and now Jenny Buss's task is to satisfy Xu Xuan...... But that's easier said than done.

In the past few days, his phone has been about to blow up, his mouth has been worn out, and he still hasn't been able to contact any suitable candidates, and even many team general managers have been ruthless when they see that it is his phone and don't answer it directly.

"How's Joe's doing?" Pelinka asked.

Singles Joe is their main target, so they have the most energy leaning towards him.

The blonde female secretary shook her head in frustration: "The Jazz still haven't relented, they have doubts about the trade plan they proposed before, and now it's shelved again." ”

"Fack!"

Pelinka slammed the table, spilling a few drops from the vibrating coffee cup.

"Damn, shelved again and again, they just want to drag, until they can't trade, they don't even think about trading, this group of souls is weak!"

There are people who are smarter than those who don't answer the phone.

You see I also answered the phone, and we are also discussing the transaction you said, and even, we once reached an agreement, but now we have found other problems, so we can only put the transaction on hold for the time being, and wait for our side to complete the discussion, and then confirm it......

The thought of this Pelinka makes me angry.

Confirm?

Make sure he didn't!

This group just wants him to die!

There are hidden ones every year, especially this year.

It stands to reason that whether it is Joe Johnson or Wesley Johnson, the weight in his team is not heavy, according to the chips currently given by the Lakers, it is definitely earned, but what can I do, the other party just doesn't let go, you have a fart solution.

"By the way, the Clippers seem to have eyebrows, I just passed by the manager's office, and I heard him say that he seems to be going to report to you soon." The female secretary with long blond hair and long legs said.

"Really?" Pelinka didn't even bother to drink the coffee and ran straight out.

Singles Joe is the best option, but looking at the Jazz's urine now, they don't seem to be planning to make this deal, so can Wesley Johnson.

I also played with the Lakers, so I don't even need to be familiar with it.

But how could the Clippers guys be so kind?

......

The Lakers' lineup still has some problems, not only because of the lack of small forwards, but also because there are too many people at point guards.

However, relatively speaking, the imminent small forward is still the top priority, and the problem of defenders must be put aside first.

After resting for a night, on the morning of the 12th, Xu Xuan got up early and ran along the beach for an hour to move his body and return to his usual life.

But there was no training today, today was a planned rest day, and I had to plan my training.

The trainer can't say that it's good to do it every day without falling for a day, the combination of work and rest is the right thing, and for a while, Xu Xuan's body can't accept so many training arrangements, and it will take a while to digest and absorb it.

For Xu Xuan, training has become an indispensable thing, even if there is no training arrangement today, Xu Xuan still went for a morning run as usual.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, Lin Yun went out to the mall with Xu Xuan's mother, and the two women got together and went to the mall every day.

That's right, Xu Xuan's parents have now been taken to Los Angeles, just let Lin Yun, who is temporarily empty, take them out to have fun.

At noon, Pelinka came over with papers.

Xu Xuan didn't have time to help him plan these things every day, and Pelinka grasped this kind of free time very well.

"Xu, I've worked my side, there's no hope on Joe's side, and the Jazz have no intention of making a deal until now," Pelinka said: "However, Wesley's side has some hope, and has reached a preliminary agreement with us, but they don't want Mozgov, but Clarkson." ”

“？”

"Clarkson?"

Xu Xuan was getting up and looking at Pelinka's position, "Is that Jordan Clarkson?" ”

"That's right, it's him." Pelinka smiled bitterly: "The Clippers want to take a bite of the fat when they see it." ”

Jordan Clarkson.

Speaking of which, this guy is quite close to Xu Xuan, because he is also a 14-year rookie, and Xu Xuan is in the same class, and he is also a second-round pick, a little lower than Xu Xuan, and is the 16th pick in the second round and was selected by the Los Angeles Lakers with the No. 46 pick obtained from the Wizards.

On March 7, 2015, in a game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, Jordan Clarkson played 36 minutes, 12-of-18 shooting, contributing 25 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, setting a new career single-game scoring record, and becoming the youngest Lakers player to score 25 points and 6 assists in a single game since Kobe Bryant (April 16, 2001).

On April 4, 2015, Jordan Clarkson was named NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Month of March, becoming the first Lakers rookie to win this honor since the 1981-82 season. Clarkson averaged 15.8 points per game in March, ranking fourth among all rookies, ranking third among all rookies with 5.2 assists per game and seventh among all rookies with 4.8 rebounds per game.

As a second-round pick, Clarkson's performance is very unexpected.

For example, Randle, who is in the same class and on the same team as him, only averaged 2.0 points per game in his rookie season, although it was only because he played one game, but you must know that Randle is the No. 7 pick in the first round, and Clarkson is the No. 16 pick in the second round, and the gap between the two draft picks is huge.

The performance, however, was Clarkson's dominance.

Xu Xuan remembered that Clarkson was also selected for the best rookie team at that time, and in the second-round show of the class of 2014, Xu Xuan did not mention it, and he should be the best at present.

Jordan Clarkson is a thin, athletic two-way guard with an outstanding reach and jump; Able to attack independently, average finishing ability, and unstable shooting; A bit short as a shooting guard, possession is good enough for a cameo point guard but too selfish.

In the regular season last season, the 24-year-old Clarkson started 79 games for the Lakers, averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 32.3 minutes per game. Since being drafted by the Lakers in the second round in 2014, Clarkson has started 117 of 138 games and has become a consistent scorer for the Lakers.

His contract extension with the Lakers has also been fast on the free agency market this year, and as a restricted free agent, Clarkson has no shortage of suitors, and he could have waited a little longer to hear offers. Agreeing to a contract extension with the Lakers so quickly shows that he really wants to stay with the Lakers and want to stay in Los Angeles.

The contract is 50 million for 4 years, this contract is not much for a promising supernova, and the Lakers are happy to sign him for such a small price.

But all this has been a little different since Xu Xuan decided to come here.

"So,"

Xu Xuan looked at Pelinka inexplicably: "You mean to say that not only the Clippers want him, but he himself wants to leave?" "Ju Library

"Uh......"

Pelinka said embarrassedly, "That's what it means." ”

Xu Xuan nodded, he understood.

I wanted to stay in Los Angeles, but now I don't want to stay and want to leave.

Because Xu Xuan came, first of all, his starter was gone, and the substitute was estimated to have to fall behind Lu Wei and serve as the second substitute.

This time from the starter to the second substitute, it is a person who can't accept it, not to mention that he is still a young man, a proud young man, it is estimated that since Xu Xuan confirmed to sign with the Lakers, this guy has been tormented in his heart, and now this is just an opportunity.

Although it is unlikely that the Clippers will replace Paul, let alone a super big backstage like Rivers Jr., they will leave the Lakers anyway.

How to say it, now he is a little negative.

Picture a heart of comfort.

I used to say that I admired me so much and liked me so much, but now it is all in vain, and I have normal emotions in my heart.

"We're at a loss for that." Xu Xuan frowned.

He didn't care if Clarkson left or not, since he wanted to leave, it was not Xu Xuan's style to force him to stay.

Clarkson's one-on-one trade for Wesley Matthews is a trade-for-the Lakers from a positional point of view, but it's also too much of a loss.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Pelinka spread her hands: "They mean to pull a three-way deal. ”

"Three-way deal?"

"Hmm."

"Jazz's?" Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"No, it's not." Pelinka shook her head: "It's the king." ”

"The King?"

Xu Xuan looked at him with some surprise: "How can the king be involved." ”

Pelinka poured herself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I said, you have to be fortunate that they pulled it up, otherwise I may not be able to meet your requirements." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a document.

One by one in the upper left corner of the information, Xu Xuan looked at it, and immediately looked up and said, "Matt Barnes?" ”

"You've got in touch with this person?"

Xu Xuan said excitedly.

Previously, the people he most wanted to trade were Joe Johnson and Wesley Matthews, and he didn't think about Matt Barnes at all.

Now that I think about it, this guy doesn't seem to be bad either.

The 36-year-old has played 13 seasons in the league and has played for 11 teams.

Barnes averaged 28.8 minutes per game for the Grizzlies last season, scoring 10 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists.

But Barnes has always been known for his short temper, never fearing fights on the field and often helping his teammates out. In the locker room with him, the atmosphere is often like a powder keg that burns at a moment's notice. If you're in a championship team with a good atmosphere, Barnes' passion can be used in the right place, but if you're in a team with a bad atmosphere, no one can say what will happen.

For example, in the king's ......

The Kings are definitely not a team with a good atmosphere, and last season, both DeMarcus Cousins and Rondo were at odds with George Karl, and Cousins was notoriously a powder keg that couldn't control his emotions.

After Matt Barnes signed with the Kings, well-known expert Larry Cowan also joked: "The Kings should really let Derrick Fisher be the head coach, and we can see a wonderful reality TV show next season!" ”

It is known that Fisher is dating Barnes's ex-wife, and because of this incident, the two had a big fight last year, which caused extremely bad effects.

Pelinka said lightly: "The Kings are willing to send Matt Barnes, because Matt Barnes had a bit of a conflict with Cousins in a wild ball game two days ago, and the two were supposed to play a charity game, but it almost ended up being a live game." ”

Xu Xuan shook his head with a smile: "This news is quite tightly blocked, I don't know." ”

"That's because you're too focused on training, Cousins also tweeted, anyway, there was a wave of ridicule and ridicule, and the two of them probably couldn't get anywhere, and the Kings found us."

"Dare to love or a hot potato?" Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows.

"So, I'm here to ask you, in the case of Joe Johnson's delayed progress, if you agree, I'll talk to them, there's still room for this."

"Hmm," Xu Xuan thought for a moment.

Matt Barnes is a lanky small forward with a knack for running and cutting and an athletic ability that combines game-finishing ability as well as a decent outside shooting. In the 2006-07 season, the Warriors staged the Black Eight Miracle in the playoffs, and he also had a very good performance.

As a striker in a run-and-gun team, he is very qualified, with body and speed. With his height and reach, Barnes has a large area to defend, a nimble foot, and an excellent sense of help on the weak side.

If he comes to the Lakers, then at the small forward position, the Lakers will have a trident combination of Ingram and Barnsga.

With veterans, offense, defense, experience, vitality, and the ability to run and fight, it is definitely a good choice for the Lakers.

As for his temper problem...... Xu Xuan didn't care too much.

He had never been afraid of a temper, otherwise he would not have been able to establish his authority soon after arriving at the Pacers.

Which is not a thorn, West, Hibbert, etc.?

Which one has Xu Xuan instigated?

If you don't accept it, there will be a time when you will take it!

Xu Xuan has never been afraid of thorns!

"Okay, I'll talk about it if you agree, there's no guarantee that it will work out, but there should be no problem." Pelinka's execution ability is still very strong.

I immediately stood up and prepared to talk.

This is a three-way deal, and there are many things involved, and it is not something that can be negotiated in one or two clicks.

But now that the Clippers want Clarkson, and the Kings are desperate to get rid of Barnes, although there is still a lot of difficulty, it is not as big as before, which is why Pelinka is so confident.
