It was an official intra-team conversation, and the two groups met with Lakers management and Gasol.

The main thing is to settle the issue of the Spaniard's expiring contract.

This is normal, because Kobe's injury report has come out, and it is indeed a second tear of the Achilles tendon, and it is no longer suitable to continue to return to play. Nash is also in very bad physical condition, and the playoffs have also burned out his remaining energy. So the two big players are going to leave the team next season, and all of a sudden the Lakers' management is "caught off guard". But fortunately, Kobe Bryant and Nash both spoke early, so they also gave the Lakers the whole offseason to operate.

There is no problem in terms of timing, it is only June, and with the freeze period in July, the Lakers have plenty of time to replan and reinforce. In principle, Jenny. Bath's view was to establish the core first. According to the recommendation and comprehensive consideration of the Lakers' No. 24, unless the offseason can bring in super big names and directly spend the rebuilding period, the Lakers should be allowed to serve as the "new core" and "new boss" of the Los Angeles Lakers.

This, Jenny. Bass is supportive, because she knows how old this Oriental is, and he is not yet 21 years old this year, which is much greater than the so-called 23 years old and 33 years old, and I don't know how much more valuable the potential value is. Give him a chance. Although the Lakers have always liked to "rob stars", it does not mean that they have not cultivated superstars themselves. In fact, if you are familiar with the history of the Purple and Gold Army, then you will know that the two highest-ranking people in the team are also the two people known as the soul of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant and "Magic" Johnson, both of whom were cultivated by the Lakers themselves.

Therefore, you say that you have not cultivated the habit of cultivating new people at all, which is also nonsense.

Besides, although Tang Qian is only at the end of his third year, who will treat him as a rookie? Last season, it was a burst + one defense + All-Star + DPOY + rebounding king + block king, okay? Coupled with his real age, it is not too much of a problem to say that he is the number one center in the league at the moment. The Lakers have always had a tradition of building teams with super centers, so this "gamble" is much less risky than cultivating Kobe Bryant.

However, now Tang Qian is only signing a 1+1 contract, so it is best to extend it, anyway, it is already possible to activate the "Ross clause" at the moment, and it is not impossible to give him a maximum salary. And, Jenny. Bass knows very well that there may be signs of a "salary change" in the league this year, so signing Tang Qian now is not a risk, but a big profit.

The second is to decide whether Gasol will stay or not.

Gasol is the hero of the Lakers, the winner of three championships, and he also performed well in the finals. Therefore, the original intention of the Lakers is to continue to renew his contract. However, there was no movement on Gasol's side, so there was this relevant meeting tonight.

In addition to the Lakers' management, there was also Kobe Bryant and D'Anthony on the scene.

Regarding the contract extension, Kobe Bryant tried his best to persuade Gasol to stay, wanting to let the Spaniards end up with the Lakers, but there was no more movement on the Spaniards' side. On the contrary, he looked at Tang Qian, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, after his agent finished speaking, Gasol said to the head coach of the Lakers, D'Antoni: "May I ask Mr. D'Antoni, do you really think that I am suitable for the future Lakers?" You're going to have to run and bang in the back, right? D'Antoni thought about it and didn't tell a lie, because fools know that the foundation of his D'Antoni's alliance is "small ball" and "running and shooting", and if he doesn't play this, he himself feels that it is boring.

Besides, next season, the Lakers will not have Kobe, and the Xeon attack point will disappear, so it will be impossible to be the same as this season. Without last season's all-round peak Kobe, doing so is looking for death, if you really play like this, you may not be able to win 10 games in a season. So in the face of the Gasol problem, Mike. D'Antoni nodded, sort of an answer and a reply.

Gasol also nodded, and then he turned to the Lakers' No. 29 and said, "That's hot, you tell me, what are your plans for next season?" Do you want to increase the right to shoot on the inside? After Tang Qian heard this, he immediately knew what Gasol wanted to ask, so he was not ambiguous, and replied directly: "That's right, Paul, you and I both know that this is an imperative thing." My goal for the future is not just to be a super blue-collar worker. ”

"So you need a lot of inside shots and offensive opportunities to hone in on it, right?" Gasol nodded again, and after a moment, he spoke again, "Thank you for coming for me tonight, but I decided to ...... anyway."

"Get out of Los Angeles."

Kobe frowned when he heard this, he really didn't expect that Gasol would choose to leave, which was a surprise to him. After all, the contract price given by the Lakers is not bad, even the highest in the league at the moment, and there is no need for Gasol to leave the Purple and Gold for money.

Seeing that the Lakers' management had to persuade him again, the Spanish Shenta said decisively: "Needless to say, I know what you mean, I have always regarded Los Angeles as my home, but after all, I am a professional player, and I can't help but think about my future." Bryant, if you're still here, maybe I'll consider staying, but since you're not here, there's no reason for me to stay here. Without waiting for Kobe Bryant to speak, Gasol himself said the problem: "I don't choose to stay with the Lakers, it's not that I think the team management treats me badly and disrespects me, and it's not that it's because of the team's poor atmosphere, my choice is completely the result of my own careful consideration." ”

"First of all, I don't need to say it, I think you know that I don't fit into Mr. D'Antoni's system, and playing under this system is very limited in my personal ability. I think I still have the quality of a star player, so I don't want to be a role player. Then ......" Gasol looked at Tang Qian on the right side of the opposite side and said: "I have no opinion or even admiration for the hot personal, I also think Bryant is right, the hot should be the next generation of the Lakers' ace core, however, he is on the inside, I have to sacrifice the ball and space in the low post, I have sacrificed for Bynum and Howard, and now, I want to pursue what I want in the end." So, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't renew my contract with the Lakers. ”

The entire venue fell silent, especially the Lakers' current deputy general manager, Bonnie. Lovelin felt even more headaches, because if Gasol also had to leave, then the Lakers' main championship lineup last season would be almost scattered. There was only one Tang Qian left, who could still support the front door. In this way, let alone the playoffs, whether you can enter the playoffs or not, I'm afraid it's all in suspense.

Don't look at the fact that she basically controls the management of the Lakers now, but is the management and uniform team of the Lakers so good at the helm? Fans in Los Angeles are also notoriously "pampered", eating too many "delicacies from the mountains and seas", do you think they will easily accept ordinary "dishes"? For many teams, getting into the playoffs is a win, but what about the Lakers? That is a failure, and it is estimated that it is possible to be "scolded by countless people".

So don't think the Lakers general manager is so good, Bonnie. Laughlin has now "aired" Mickey. Kupchak, but her pressure is no less. With so many things happening in the season she just took over, she suddenly felt as if she didn't have enough "brain power".

If it's not done well, Jenny. Buzz couldn't help her.

But the Spanish Tower is now a complete free agent, and the Lakers have no way to limit him.

You can only play the "favor card", if it is not good, then it can only be bad.

Lost in vain to Gasol, which is also a Bonnie. Laughlin began with things that were not expected.

But Tang Qian was not too surprised by this, because ...... History is still maintaining its "inertia".

Gasol, who was in the original space, left Los Angeles as a complete free agent this season.

It's just that in this time and space, he left with the championship, or there is a big difference in value.

But because of this, there have been some changes in this space-time node.

"If you can help me get to the teams I want to go to, then I can consider signing and then making an equivalent deal between teams and teams." As soon as Gasol said this, Bonnie. Laughlin's side was in good spirits, because that's what it meant...... From leaving the Lakers for nothing, he has become a good group of instant players who can be exchanged for the Lakers.

The meaning is very different.

Some people say that leaving as a free agent can increase salary space, yes, but a lot of players on many teams, they are not full free agents, and many of them even have several years of contracts. In this way, you have to trade to get it. If you know the NBA's simple rules, you'll know that this kind of behavior is called "sign before trade."

To put it simply, it is to leave a little wealth for the parent team, so as not to lose stars and talents in vain.

That's what James did when he went to the Heat, so his human touch is still slightly higher than that of "Du Qichi" in the back. However, from a deeper perspective, James also went directly to join the Heat team in order to get the highest salary in the parent team, and he couldn't get such a high salary. At least the losses will be greater.

But no matter what, signing first and then changing, it still brought a lot of things to the Cavaliers, otherwise the people who scolded him back then would probably be more fierce and ruthless.

It seems that history has changed a little, but I didn't expect Gasol to take the initiative to "sign first and then change". This is really a "bonus". After all, starting next season, the Los Angeles Lakers will be in charge of their own affairs, and he is still very happy to bring more "new forces" or "future draft picks" to the team.

Don't even think about it, Bonnie. Lovelin nodded in agreement, not even looking at which teams Gasol wanted to go to. Because this is already "benevolent and righteous" for Gasol, she has nothing more to complain about.

In this case, Tang Qian started his "summer vacation", not like ordinary players, he chose to rest for a period of time to relax his body and nerves. He directly discharged the "summer training schedule". Why, isn't it because there is a relationship of "restoring crystal bricks", so he doesn't need to be "step-by-step" like ordinary players?

Physically tired or something, sleeping for one night is enough to fully recover.

He first called Rodman, but "Flower Worm" told him directly on the phone that there was no need to come to him for "summer training" again. Because he can't teach Tang Qian anything now. So again, it's also a waste of each other's precious time. However, he also reminded Tang Qian not to forget that he still had the last "healing" to do, if Tang Qian dared to release his pigeons, he would definitely "fight to the death".

This "flower worm" is really a brain-filled insect! I really wish him to die in a woman's belly sooner or later!

But Rodman really didn't fool him, he really doesn't need to look for the former anymore, and his rebounding ability has even reached a field that the former has never touched. So all he's going to do now is ......

Contact Moses. Ma Long, taking advantage of the summer vacation, systematically practiced the hard attack under the basket, and then strengthened the basic offensive methods and techniques under the basket by the way. At the same time, physical training and weight gain must also be on the agenda, and he doesn't want to suffer these problems next season. You know, the Lakers won't have anyone to help him next season.

For now, the 14-15 season will be a real "one-man season".

If his offensive ability is not further improved, it is estimated that he will play very hard, and the Lakers' record will also be miserable.

Of course, he is now much more famous and well-known than the previous two seasons, so various endorsements and commercial activities must also be participated. At least these are the ones that have already been signed, and it is impossible for him not to do them. For example, the business activities of AND1 are impossible for him to shirk. People chose him when he was not yet famous and gave him a super sneaker contract, and now that he is mixed well, it is impossible to "cross the river and tear down the bridge". Tang Qian is not this kind of person.

Secondly, there is Taylor's side, although he didn't say anything directly, but the two of them have a tacit understanding and know what kind of changes have taken place in the relationship between the two sides. So...... The time spent with Taylor is bound to increase, which is also something that cannot be helped.

In addition, he may have to deal with the establishment of the "Yao Tang Basketball School", so from this point of view, Tang Qian's vacation actually has a lot of things, and there is not much time for him to squander at will.

On the first day of Tang Qian, he was ready to go with Moses. During Ma Long's special training, someone knocked on Tang Qian's door, and Tang Qian saw that it was actually the person in charge of the Basketball Association who had called and emailed him many times, Chen Xin. Out of politeness, Tang Qian still talked with him patiently, when Chen Xin took out the so-called "latest revision of the system contract", Tang Qian's patience disappeared, and his attitude quickly turned to cold and said: "If this is your so-called sincerity, then there is no need, I said it, I am not short of money or treatment now, I can join the national team without a penny, but this kind of contract within the system, I will never sign it." Please don't waste your efforts. Unexpectedly, this time Chen Xin didn't persuade him to put on a show, but nodded and said: "Actually, I also think you're right, but we just do things according to orders, and we don't have any decision-making power, so Tang Qian, if you don't sign this contract, you won't sign it." ”

Hearing this, Tang Qian's attitude towards Chen Xin eased a little, and the two chatted a little, and Tang Qian sent Chen Xin away on the grounds that he was going to training.

After seeing Tang Qian leave in the car, Chen Xin looked at the "latest contract" in his hand with some "joking" and said: "I can see it, I believe that your old man has nothing to do with Tang Qian, if the national team loses again in the World Cup in Spain, hehehe, I don't have to look at your face anymore." According to the gossip I received, this new 'number one' candidate is very popular. Plus there are people above him, so ...... I'd better pick it out as soon as possible and start standing in line as soon as possible. ”

"After all, who would want to use more people who have too good a relationship with the previous leader?"

"Hehe, anyway, I'm here in the United States, why don't you take this opportunity to give yourself a vacation, let me see if the United States, which is known as a free country, is really so drunk."

After speaking, Chen Xin also turned around and left, and his figure disappeared at the end of the street.

PS: I'm going to get up early tomorrow and go to the countryside with my elders to attend a 70-year-old birthday banquet, so it's a chapter tonight, and when I come back tomorrow, Xiaozi will immediately break out with the code word, and make up for it ~ Thank you, tomorrow will break out to compensate ~~~
