The Lakers' official Twitter: "Let's welcome the league's No. 1 point guard!" ”
The Rockets' official Twitter: "Here it is, the league's best interior playmaker Pau Gasol is here!" ”
The official Hornets tweeted: "Thank you Chris Paul for the glory he once brought to the Hornets, now, it's time for us to look forward!" ”
"Welcome to the City of Angels, CP3!"
"It's finally official, only God knows how hard I've waited for this day!"
"It's time! It's time! I think it's time for the Lakers to get back in contention! ”
After the official announcement of all three teams, Lakers fans finally began to express their excitement with peace of mind, the first point guard plus the first scoring guard, what is the combination of such a pair Needless to say, right? Brothers of the other 29 teams! In the crotch of my Great Lakers, tremble!
"Yi, Chris Paul is officially confirmed to join the Lakers and join Kobe, I don't know what you think of this deal?"
After the Knicks' game against the Rockets, reporters who got the exact news unsurprisingly asked Yi Jianlian's opinion on the deal.
"I've already answered this question, I remember that ESPN and TNT have specific answers to this question, and I think you can go back and look through the relevant reports, and save me the need to say it again, or a few times, and I think someone will ask me the same question tomorrow."
"So...... Let's go next! ”
Yi Jianlian does not intend to answer this question, this matter has not yet come to an end, and when the follow-up developments all happen, it will not be too late for him to answer at that time.

NBA League Commissioner's Office.
Stern was frowning at the computer screen on which ESPN's news report on Chris Paul teaming up with Kobe Bryant.
Since knowing the news, Stern has been watching this for almost half an hour!
The gray-haired president of the alliance didn't know what to think.
"Teacher!" Xiao Hua knocked on the door and walked in at this time, his expression was also very serious, "I have already explained, it is estimated that there will be news in the near future, but, teacher, can we do this?" ”
"Why not? The Hornets are now in league custody, and nominally, the owner of the Hornets is me! Stern looked resolute.
In March last year, the original Hornets owner George Sean decided to sell the Hornets because of debt problems, and the Hornets were interested in Oracle owner Larry Ellison.
It's just that Larry Ellison's purpose is not pure, he wants to take the Hornets to the bustling state of California after getting the Hornets.
But there are already five teams in California, and Stern, who is obsessed with "league rebalancing", vetoed Larry Ellison's purchase intention, and when George Sean was in a hurry to buy the team, Stern finally chose the league to pay for the Hornets to be temporarily hosted.
At the time, it was a helpless move, but now Stern feels that this helpless move is fate, giving him a chance to meddle in this matter!

"I love this team, I love everything here, God knows why they did this to me, I even took the initiative to go for a lower contract last year, I gave almost everything to Los Angeles, but now, it's betrayed me!"
After the official announcement of the three teams, Odom was extremely sad in the face of an interview with reporters.
"Alright, that's all, it's time for me to pack up and head to New Orleans!"
Odom didn't want to say anything more, pushed away the reporter who wanted to continue interviewing him, and walked towards the locker room.
"Huh? Deal cancelled? ”
"Holy, what's the situation? Deal cancelled? ”
"Tim Frank held an impromptu press conference to announce that the three-way trade between the Lakers, Rockets and Hornets was canceled for basketball reasons, hey, Lamar, you don't have to be sad because you don't need to go to New Orleans!"
But before he could walk a few steps away, the reporters who interviewed him all exclaimed, this deal was canceled!
And for the first time in history, the transaction was canceled with the notice of the alliance itself.
"Really, really?" Odom couldn't believe it, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and when a reporter showed him the latest news, his expression was still a little incredulous.
“wow!”
As the biggest focus of this transaction, Chris Paul also expressed his emotions through his personal Twitter at the same time as the news came out.
Although it's just one word, it can be imagined that Chris Paul's mood right now must be full of mixed feelings, and he has all the tastes!
He was already fantasizing about a better life after teaming up with Kobe, and he almost thought that the Lakers would enter the Western Conference Finals, and he touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals fiercely, and when he was fast forward to the story, the official notice that the cancellation of the deal was like a bolt from the blue, splitting Chris Paul to the outside, and he was already on the verge of the collapse of doubting life.
"Why? I've never heard of anything like this, is it true that the league can now control the trade between teams? ”
"So this is for the Heat Big Three to win the championship?"
"I really can't imagine that the league will one day have such a big power, is there any irregularity in this deal?"
In addition to Chris Paul and all the Lakers fans who fell from heaven to hell, they didn't expect that the cooked duck would really fly away!

"Wow, this is the most incredible moment I've ever seen!"
Yi Jianlian received a call from Dan Feigan, as a senior agent in the circle, Dan Feigen has never seen such a situation, "Yi, do you think this situation will become the norm?" Or can the alliance really have such a big right? Will it be the norm to veto a deal when the general managers of all three teams have signed and there are no irregularities in the operation? ”
Dan Feigen was asking Yi Jianlian, and he was also asking himself, his heart was extremely shocked, if such a situation really became the norm, it would indicate that the rules of the game for NBA trading had changed, and the rules of the game for their group of agents who were closely connected with the NBA would definitely change, and it might lead to a wave of reshuffle in the industry at that time!
The existence of this possibility made him have to think about it a little more.
He is now a little glad that he agreed to work with Yi Jian, at least, there is someone who accompanies him to face the possible turmoil.
Yi Jianlian didn't know how to answer Dan Fagan's blind thoughts, because no one knew what the real inside story of this transaction that was canceled because of "basketball reasons" until N years later!
But he can be sure of one thing, and that is that Dan Fagan thinks too much:
"Go to bed early and wait for the latest news to come out tomorrow!" u
