I'm home!

This sentence instantly became a secret phrase that plunged Southern California into madness.

They waited for many, many years, and finally waited for this sentence, and the enthusiasm of the whole of Los Angeles erupted like flaming magma, and no one was not crazy about it.

Now, all eyes are on Staples Arena, and every Lakers fan is looking forward to the new season, and they can't wait to see the union between Snoopy and Kobe. Oh, and Stephen Nash.

These three guys have won 5 regular season MVP trophies (02-12) in the NBA in the past ten years. Just thinking about the chemistry between them makes one can't help but revel in it.

However, Dugg was invited to the general manager's office the day after the welcome party.

Now, the Lakers desperately need someone to get the job done. In this regard, management fully trusts the Duke's vision, and he believes that the Dukes will definitely be able to find the right team for the Lakers.

And before Dugg walked into Kupchak's office, he received a call from Europe.

Dacomi Risic called him and told Snoopy: "I want to continue to be your teammate. Minnesota has bought out my contract. ”

Dug consulted with Kupchak for a moment.

Kupchak was initially reluctant to agree with this, and Milicic has become more and more depraved since getting a big contract in Memphis, and his size has increased at a rate that is visible to the naked eye. And when he was sold to Minnesota, it intensified. Now Sanders has finally bought out his contract if he can't bear it.

"He's actually a good defensive center and he can keep up with the pace of the attack. He also had a good interaction with me, and I thought it would be okay to give him a non-guaranteed contract if you didn't trust him. Just ......"

Dugg thought for a moment, and finally said: "After a season, don't regret it. ”

The Younger Duke has full trust in Milicic, who played well with him in New York. Moreover, unlike Eddie Curry, who is an intermittent fanatic, he is able to output consistently. Moreover, he is only 27 years old this year, as long as he has the right attitude and feeds the ball himself, once he regains his confidence, he can definitely become a center forward above the level.

Kupchak thought for a moment.

He then reached out to Milicic's agent. He offered a three-year, 8 million contract.

To be the general manager of the Lakers for so many years is definitely not a fool. Although it is a bit risky to give a three-year guarantee contract to a parallel goods like Milicic, but the little duke has spoken like this, can he still look away?

"We need a flank shooter now!" After Dugg looked at the list, he said very clearly: "When the Lakers have me, Kobe, and Nash, the opponent will definitely not be able to focus on the wings defensively. At this time, as long as we have a top-level goalscorer, we can easily swallow the opponent's defence. ”

Hearing this, Kupchak immediately turned around and went next door to confer with the executives' scouts for shooters who had not yet been signed and who could be traded.

At the same time, Dugg was still watching the videos of the players from all walks of life.

Now the Lakers roster has been confirmed are: Kobe Bryant, Stephen Nash, Carlos Boozer, Daco Mirisic, Asik, Jordan Hill, Snoopydou, Byron Davis, Ron Artest, Antoine Jamison, Steve Blake, .......

This lineup has a bit of a lot of interior players and a bit of a surplus of point guards. The flank shooters are almost none.

Gotta trade!

Dugg thought with a frown.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a video of inside player highlights on the TV screen in front of him caught his attention. This guy has a very strong height and arm span, and his athleticism is also very good, and he is very distinctive in terms of nose, card grabbing, and block interference in the frontcourt.

"Who is he?" Dugg asked.

Kupchak probed over: "Whiteside, a fringe player. I don't have much offensive ability, and I heard that I'm going to play overseas. ”

"You can sign him." "With him, either Asik or Jordan Hill can be traded," Dugg said. ”

Well?

Kupchak frowned slightly, he was skeptical, but finally nodded.

Then, after a long finishing process.

Kupchak circled several shooters and then started making calls in front of Dug. His first call was to follow Duger's instructions and call the Atlanta uniforms: they had just taken Kyle Cavour from Chicago in a three-way deal.

And Korver is the most compatible shooter Dugg has ever worked with.

The two sides have gone from testing each other to confessing to each other. Then they brought in the Houston Rockets and made a three-way deal, with the Los Angeles Lakers first signing Asik to a three-year, $17 million contract, and then sending him to the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets sent Delfino and Daquin Cook, who headed to the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks sent Kyle Korver to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The deal was negotiated for about one hour.

This is the first time Dugg has seen the NBA's trade process firsthand, and he feels... It's similar to selling vegetables in the vegetable market.

Kupchak asked the Hawks GM if they would trade Korver, and the Hawks replied that I really want a shooting guard who can handle the ball, play singles and tandem, and I'm sad that Joe Johnson is going to Brooklyn.

Kupchak put down the phone, asked his scouts to search around, and asked: What do you think of Argentine ace defender Delfino? This guy is inexpensive, durable and daring to fight, and can play alone without possessing the ball.

The Hawks GM replied: Isn't he living in Houston quite nourishing right now? Will Morey's chicken thief let go?

Kupchak put the phone aside, and then called Morey's chicken thief: I have a tall, powerful and domineering tall center here, who can block and dismantle, can change defenses, can play card positions and can protect the basket, how about a deal with you?

Morey's mouth is money: expensive or not? I just traded Harden from the Thunder and I'm about to hit the luxury line.

"Asik, Bulls Meritorious Ace Center, Double Championship Center. Sign first and then change, I can press you to 18 million in three years. Now the big man is worth a lot of money, as long as he is seven feet tall, he dares to shout for 10 million, and if you think you can, we will trade. We'll just add a little bit to you, the Argentinian. ”

After a long bargain, Morey finally pushed the price down to 17 million for three years.

Then I got in touch with Asik's agent, and it was done.

Korver returned to the Duke's arms.

When the official announcement was made the next day, Dugg felt... It's so fast.

With the arrival of Korver, the Lakers' 12-man roster is finally assembled, and on paper, it can also be said that it is beginning to take shape.

At the same time, the Lakers' preseason training camp has officially begun.

Esnubidou, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Nash, Carlos Boozer, Ron Artest, Kyle Korver, Daco Milicic, Jordan Hill, Steve Blake, Byron Davis, Whiteside, Antoine Jamison – 12 players with guaranteed contracts and seven players on training camp contracts were in front of the media who came to visit the class.

The Lakers have always been the focus of media attention, and with the addition of Snoopy this year, they have become the focus of attention.

And that's why for the first time in the history of the Lakers, there are so many reporters out there. Such a big battle even raises the suspicion that Stamp is holding an Oscars.

"Honestly, if I rolled out the red carpet outside, I really thought I was already a super rapper in the limelight."

Ron Artest (Ci Shiping) said in an interview.

"I've long since settled my old suspicions with him. We're all adults, we're similar personalities, we have the same hobbies, we're all one of the few NBA singers, and we're going to be good friends. ”

Artest spoke to the media.

He looks... I really want to rub the heat of the little duke.

However, Carlos Boozer will not let him succeed.

"I'll warn that guy to stay away from Snoopy, and if he dares to be disrespectful, I won't make him feel better. The whole world knows that I am only loyal to Snoopy. When Boozer was interviewed by Kevin Din, a reporter for the Orange County Chronicle, his mouth was full of real-talk.

Because he knows that Kevindin is Snoopy's best media friend, when he mentions that Artest has clashed with Snoopy many times in the past, he shows his true emotions without concealment.

Kevindin absolutely believed his words. Of course, he didn't want Artest to provoke the little duke. After all, as a Lakers player, he still wants the locker room to be harmonious.

Having said that, where does Artest now have the qualifications to compete with Snoopy? The little duke only needs one word, and he will have to be traded.

In fact, Artest also played his style of seeing the wind and making the rudder eat soft and afraid of hard. As soon as he saw Snoopy, he lowered his posture and ran up enthusiastically to shake hands: "Thank God, you finally came to save the Lakers." ”

Forehead....

His enthusiasm really made Snoopy a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the bearded man pushed his hand away in time.

Subsequently, Jamison joined in.

The little duke had a great time chatting with each of his new teammates. And, naturally, he formed a discussion group centered on him.

Daco Milicic, Jamison, Bearded, Korver, Boozer and Nash, they all like to chat with Snoopy.

Actually, Kobe Bryant would love to get in on the action.

But he always felt that this was not in line with his cold image, I should be a ruthless and ruthless domineering president who was only warm to Snoopy, how could I engage in these things that were fun with the people?

And..."Snoopy, this guy is so hateful, he deliberately snubbed me?" See if I don't blow you up tonight! ”

The Black Mamba is uneasy after all.
