The Lakers sent Eddie Jones and their interior blue-collar Campbell in exchange for Hornets All-Star Glen Les!

The deal looks like the Lakers are losing money, after all, Eddie Jones is an All-Star himself......

Even if he hadn't been with the Lakers, he might not have been an All-Star for his entire career.

However, All-Stars are not the same as All-Stars, Eddie Jones belongs to the kind of existence that is at the bottom of the All-Stars, while Glenn Rice is an All-Star starter-level player, and even won the All-Star MVP, the two are obviously not heavyweight players.

As for the addition of Campbell, Campbell has lost its value to the Lakers at the moment, after all, they have Rodman on hand.

In this way, the Lakers' lineup is a little scary......

Center O'Neal, power forward Rodman, small forward Glenn Rice, point guard Kidders, point guard Fisher Jr.

The bench isn't weak either, with Rick Fox, Derrick Harper, Ruben Patterson and more......

For a time, the Lakers directly became the only team in the league that could threaten the Trail Blazers in the eyes of fans.

It is true that the current Lakers are worse than the Trail Blazers on the outside, and the bench is also worse, but the game is not the strength of the book, at least the Lakers have the capital to compete with the Trail Blazers, as long as they play better, they have every chance to pull the Trail Blazers down.

……

The Trail Blazers are still undefeated in mid-March, hosting the Washington Wizards.

Now that the regular season is halfway through, the Wizards just changed their name from the Bullets to the Wizards last season, and the Wizards' record has improved this season.

Chris Webber has left the Wizards, but Sa has joined as a free agent this season.

There is an old family, if there is a treasure, the joining of Lao Sa has made the Wizards' record improve significantly, after a short run-in at the beginning of the game, the current Wizards' record has reached the sixth place in the East.

And the gap between the Magic and the fourth-place Magic in the East is also quite slim.

Center Lao Sa, power forward Zhu Wanhuo Ershu, small forward Calpotter Channey, point guard Rock Richmond, point guard Strickland.

Such a lineup is actually quite a luxurious lineup in the East, and the book strength of the starting lineup can rank among the top three in the East.

But the problems of this team are not without it, the first is that the players are old......

Lao Sa and Rock are both old, and as the core of the team, their advanced age has become the biggest obstacle to the Wizards' record.

The second is the issue of ball distribution, Lao Sa and Flying Car have partnered with the Trail Blazers before, and the effect is not very good, and now these two have joined the Wizards......

When Richard led the team to the Wizards' home court, he saw Jordan, the old hooligan Jordan.

Although Richard knew that after Jordan retired, he would take a stake in the Wizards, become the Wizards' small owner, and serve as the president of the Wizards' basketball affairs, but Richard did not expect that Jordan and the Wizards would hook up so quickly......

In Richard's memory, Jordan announced his joining the Wizards at the end of '99, that is, at the end of this year, and it's only mid-March, so it's obvious that something is wrong with the timing.

Of course, it may be that the two sides have already begun negotiations before Jordan announced that he will join the Wizards, and now Jordan appears on the Wizards' home court, which may be the beginning of negotiations.

Sitting next to Jordan is a white middle-aged man named Ted Leonsis, Richard is not a stranger to this person, although the two do not know each other, but Paul Allen and this guy have a lot of grudges.

Leonsis is a Washington-based sports mogul and the creator of AOL......

And Paul Allen invested in AOL before, and then was put on the table by him, which is quite clear to people in the circle.

Leonsey's Lincoln Holdings owns 44 percent of Washington Entertainment, which is the Wizards' largest shareholder.

Now Leonsis is under the guise of letting Jordan run the Wizards......

Later, fans must have known that Jordan bought 5% of the Wizards and 10% of Lincoln Holdings for more than 20 million US dollars, becoming the small owner of the Wizards.

That's when I made a second comeback......

……

"Hey, Lee, I haven't seen you in some days!"

Before the game started, Jordan's position was not far from the Trail Blazers bench, and at this moment he stood up and said hello to Richard.

"Michael, what? Want to make a comeback to join the Wizards? Richard asked with a smile.

Jordan waved his hand, "No way, I said I would never play again......"

"Don't say this kind of thing too sure, if you come back in the future, won't you slap yourself in the face?" Richard said with a smile.

When Jordan retired for the second time, he said that there was a 99.99% chance that he would not play again, and when reporters asked what the remaining 0.01% chance was, he replied that he would never.

He certainly didn't expect that after two years, he would slap himself in the face......

"Li, I'm sorry to tell you that in the post-match press conference in a while, I'm afraid you will be the focus again." Jordan blinked and said to Richard.

Richard was stunned, did Jordan's big mouth get any inside information?!

Why did you become the focus again, could something happen?

……

With a stomach full of doubts, tonight's game officially began.

The relationship between Lao Sa and the Trail Blazers players is quite close, and they greeted each other one by one after they appeared.

As for Strickland, another Trail Blazers veteran, it's more embarrassing......

Because at the moment, the only player he knows in the entire Trail Blazers team is Robinson, and he is not familiar with other players.

The only familiar Robinson, the relationship between the two is not very good, and there is no communication.

In just two years, Richard has made a big change in the Trailblazers!

……

The strength of the Wizards is good, but there is definitely still a big gap compared to the Trail Blazers, and by the end of the game, the Trail Blazers won a 19-point difference, which was another hearty victory.

After winning the game, Richard led the team back to the locker room......

About half an hour later, Stevens walked into the locker room with a wry smile.

"Lee, you may not believe it when you say it......"

"Dave Cowens got fired, they just announced it at a press conference!"

"Now the reporters are making a fuss at the venue, waiting for our press conference to start......

Richard was dumbfounded, daring to love the focus of Jordan's words, this is the focus......

At the moment, Jordan and the Wizards are eyebrow-on, and the Wizards probably also talked to Jordan about firing Dave Cowens.
