Originally, the Lakers still had a lot of options this summer.

For example, like another plane, Dwyane, who fell out with the Heat this season and chose to leave the team. Wade.

However, the Lakers did not do that, Wade is dying, although he still has the strength, but there is no future, the next two years of the league contract is about to expire in the big names, the Lakers' current salary space is fully enough to pursue a top superstar.

According to a media grapevine, the Lakers are very interested in Kings superstar James Lee, whose contract expires next summer. Harden showed great interest.

Last season, Harden led the team to the Finals, and he also played extremely luxurious statistics, becoming a veritable No. 1 quarterback in the league.

Although Saramento and Los Angeles belong to the same California and are still the state capital, after all, there is still no big city like Los Angeles, and the allure of the Lakers giants is really not something that ordinary players can resist.

What's more, there is now a future in the Lakers...... Or Hao Peng, who is now the league's No. 1 center, has a strong small forward Butler with good offense and defense.

Whether you want a more comfortable life or want to win a championship, Los Angeles is the best choice.

It is worth mentioning that at the beginning of July, LeBron. James just agreed to a two-year contract with the Cavaliers, with a player option for the second year.

That means that by next summer, James will also become a free agent, and the Lakers can choose one of the two James.

It's just that what makes Wang Xiao a little funny is that James actually signed a two-year contract with the Cavaliers, and the second year is still a player option.

In another time and space, after leading the team to a 1-3 comeback victory over the Warriors in the 15-16 season, James and the Cavaliers should have signed a three-year contract worth a total of $100 million.

But now that the three-year contract has become two years, it seems that at this time, James is afraid that he is already thinking about leaving.

But funny is funny, if Wang Xiao is the management of the Lakers, he will definitely choose LeBron without hesitation. James.

Harden is strong, but there are still a lot of flaws, especially the performance every time he goes to the playoffs, which will always make people speechless.

In this regard, your uncle is still your uncle.

Don't look at James is now 32 years old, but even after a few years, he can still show almost terrifying dominance, and he will make a profit if he signs it.

Of course, if the Lakers really sign James, then Wang Xiao will have to be careful.

Hao Peng + James + Butler's lethality is far better than that of the Cavaliers' Big Four, that's not a joke.

After thinking about it, Wang Xiao felt that it was better for the Lakers to sign Harden, at least it would be easier to deal with.

……

The Bucks won more preseason than they lost, mainly because of Embiid's play.

Because he knew that Embiid was a glass man, Wang Xiao was extra careful when using him, and only arranged about 25 minutes of playing time per game.

But Embiid is amazingly efficient, and he can average 20+10 data per game in just 25 minutes, which surprises many fans.

Wang Xiao is famously turning stones into gold, and Embiid is the only player he has been criticized by fans after being selected over the years.

He participated in the draft in '14 and was reimbursed for two full years of the season, and he didn't officially return until '16.

This is already the worst of the players selected by Wang Xiao, and not many people are optimistic about Embiid's performance before this, after all, a professional athlete has been reimbursed for two years due to injury, and how much is left in his condition?

But now Embiid's performance in the preseason has once again confirmed that Wang Xiao's vision can never go wrong.

After the preseason, the regular season immediately followed, and on October 26, the Bucks ushered in the first game of the regular season.

The Bucks' first regular season game opponent was the old rival Washington Wizards.

Last season's Eastern Conference Finals, the Bucks eliminated the Wizards to advance to the finals, and the Eastern Conference finals series between the two teams is considered the highest level matchup in the entire playoffs, which is in stark contrast to the Bucks' beating of the Kings in the finals.

If there's any team in this league that can stop Wang Xiao's Bucks, it's the Wizards he once coached.

……

This summer, the Wizards didn't have any reinforcements, but power forward Ryan. Anderson was also poached by a team with a big contract of 80 million for 4 years, and the Wizards had no choice but to sign Jeff for 1 year and 15 million. Green is at the power forward position.

Ryan. Anderson for Jeff. Green, it's undoubtedly a weakening of the front line, but it can't be helped.

George and Leonard's annual salaries are close to 20 million, and Curry is as high as 25 million.

The total salary of the three has reached 65 million, and with Green's 15 million, it has reached an astonishing 80 million!

Even if the salary cap skyrockets in the new season, it is only about 94 million, and the remaining players cannot all get the base salary, and the Wizards even have to save money to prepare for keeping Gobert next summer.

With the salary cap skyrocketing, the best power forwards in the market are now close to 20 million, and they all have high salaries and long-term contracts, and the Wizards have no choice.

Even without any reinforcements, the Wizards' roster is still among the best in the league, and Curry, George, and Leonard can crush most teams in the league, not including the Bucks.

The players from both teams came on the court, with the Bucks starting five and point guard Giannis. Antetokounmpo, quarterback Klay. Thompson, small forward Kevin. Durant, power forward Joel. Embiid, center Nikola. Jokic.

The Wizards started with a five, point guard Stephen Brown. Curry, shooting guard Paul. George, small forward kawaii. Leonard, power forward Jeff. Green, center Rudy. Goebel.

Just looking at this lineup, Wang Xiao has already figured out how to play.

First, as last season, attack Curry.

Second, staring at the Wizards' other weak spot, Jeff. Green hits.

In fact, Green is better than Ryan last season. Anderson's defense is better, but the offense is not as good as Anderson's, but the quality of defense depends on who is defending.

In front of Embiid, Green is the type who doesn't defend well.

In the first quarter of the game, the best players on the Bucks' side were Thompson and Embiid.

Curry couldn't defend his brother at all, so he could only switch to Thompson with his teammates, but he also struggled to defend against Thompson Curry, and was found several opportunities by Thompson, scoring 10 points on 3-of-5 shooting, 2-of-3 three-pointers, and 2-of-2 free throws in the first quarter.

And although Embiid made his debut in an official NBA game, he didn't have any constraints that a rookie should have.

In fact, after two years on the bench, Embiid has long been suffocated!

Now that he can finally play, Embiid has been extremely active, constantly asking for the ball to single Green.

He can't be active if he doesn't want to, his four-year rookie contract now has only two years left, and if he can't play for the next two seasons, his big contract will fly away!
