Chapter 414, the Lakers appease Kobe Bryant
The TV show continues, and the person who broke the news is called Gambardoro, and according to him, Nash has never considered going to a team like the Raptors. Although Canada is Nash's hometown, Nash now lives in Phoenix, so he wanted to choose a team that was close to him, and he eventually joined the Lakers. Gambardo also said that Nash did not want to go to the Knicks, but this was denied by a local reporter in New York.
In fact, Nash being traded to the Lakers is still very beneficial to the Clippers, as long as the Clippers' point guard uses a two-way position, then the aging Nash can't guard at all, and the combination of Nash and Coe will not be good this season without Howard.
"Buzz! ~Airplanes! ~Airplanes! ~”
Huang Yu glanced at the phone, how could this guy call himself!
"Sorry boss, Ray Allen rejected us!"
Mr. Clipper's general manager on the other end of the phone said cautiously.
"Joined the championship Heat, right? Good choice, when the season is over, he knows that he made the wrong choice. ”
Huang Yu pursed his lips, although he asked the Clippers to negotiate with Ray Allen early, but he didn't expect to still be able to recruit this fiery veteran to his command.
"Boss, although Ray Allen didn't take it, Grant Hill has agreed to the contract we offered."
Seeing that Huang Yu didn't blame him, the general manager finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to add some performance to himself.
"Ma invites him to go to Los Angeles to sign or you go to Phoenix, you have to be sure to sign to be reassuring."
Although it seems a little whispering, it has to be done, the 40-year-old veteran who has played in the NBA for 18 seasons and averaged 10.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game with the Suns.
In this way, the Clippers' forward line only needs to get that one enough, as long as Hill and Butler stay healthy, Griffin and Paul can be traded on the inside, and as for point guard Huang Yu, there are already candidates.
----------
"The contract for Xinli can be appropriately increased, and a 3-year contract is given, I believe he will sign it!"
Huang Yu's target is Sinri, who has become a free man, and although the bulls are trying to contact him, the expelled contract is stingy to death.
Sinri played nine seasons in the NBA, and the 31-year-old played in a total of 634 regular season games, starting 515 games, averaging 12.5 points, 5.4 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.21 steals in 33.0 minutes per game, shooting 41.7% from the field, 37.8% from three-point range and 81.1% from the free-throw line. In addition, Xinli played in a total of 46 playoff games, starting 37 of them, averaging 13.4 points, 4.7 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.28 steals in 33.3 minutes per game, shooting 43.0% from the field, 40.4% from three-point range, and 76.3% from the free throw line.
With such a data on a 2-year, 6 million contract, the Bulls' manager seems to have milky liquid in his head, although Xinli only played 48 regular season games in the Hawks this season, starting 31 of them, averaging 6.6 points, 2.8 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 0.80 steals in 25.8 minutes per game, shooting 41.4% from the field, 34.6% from three-point range, and 78.1% from the free-throw line.
Whether it is given as a starter or as a substitute, the results will not disappoint, and the most important thing is that Xinli does not need too many shots to facilitate his new season. Cough! ~Cough! ~! ~
"Boss, the Dallas people offered West a one-year contract of 2 million, and I chose them for an extra 1 million, and it was a 3-year contract! Although the Lakers are also following up, the Lakers are currently chasing Howard, so the contract offered is not large. ”
The 29-year-old West is a free agent who has played eight seasons in the NBA. This season, he played in 44 regular-season games for the Mavericks, starting 33 times and handing over 9.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 24 minutes of playing time, shooting 46.1% from the field and 35.5% from distance.
"Well, yes, if there's no bid for Scola then he'll be my backup, and if there's a bid for Scola then give him a commitment to compete for the starting spot before the Mavericks sign him."
Huang Yu thought about it for a while and let go of the authority, in fact, it is appropriate to give the players some sweetness, why not be happy to be able to bring the capable players under his command, as for Wang Ba's anger, it is unrealistic to hug the thighs as soon as he releases all his anger, after all, the Clippers have sunk this season, even if Paul and Griffin are still in the team, the team is not very stable, and those veterans with the strength of the base salary will not come over to hug the thighs.
"Oh, by the way, don't forget Barbossa, go for it as long as you can!"
Huang Yu thought about it, and at present, the only thing that can be valued by free people is Babossa.
"By the way, boss, the Grizzlies sent a trade intention to trade Rudy Guy for Griffin and Butler!"
With the free agent chase out of the way, it's time to talk about the Clippers' most valuable player trade.
"Let the grizzlies, they are stupid themselves, don't think that others are as stupid as they are, ask Griffin to take little Gasol, and by the way Gatoni Aaron!"
Huang Yu is completely a lion's mouth, who let the Grizzlies treat the Clippers as a Kaizi, although Butler's season performance is average, but just in the right year, there is no problem in using it for a year or two, not to mention Griffin, as long as the package is properly guaranteed, you don't see that leaving the Clippers to go to the Pistons has driven the sale of a large part of the tickets in that broken place!
"Boss, it's impossible for them to agree, Gasol Jr. has made great progress in the past two years, and although Griffin Jr. Gasol has high commercial value, he is really in the arena."
Mr. Manager is telling the truth.
"Cut, with Gasol Jr. and Randolph, their lineup is slow enough, you have to talk to them, my final bottom line is that Griffin and Gasol Jr. are exchanged for one! Okay, no, pull to! ”
Huang Yu is also ruthless, Xiao Jia's position in Huang Yu's heart is Griffinhigh, Huang Yu doesn't need the kind of guy with outstanding scoring ability, he needs players who can help the team stabilize the backcourt and defense.
Gasol Jr. is much stronger than his brother Pau Gasol, not afraid of physical confrontation, and there are a lot of small movements, and it is not once or twice that he has a black hand, if you change that face to Kaloon Butler, a stable villain on the court, but Gasol Jr.'s face is really the best camouflage,
"Uh, boss, just got the news that Matt Barnes is testing the free market with the Lakers this season!"
Although Matt Barnes is 32 years old, the 6-foot-7" small forward has a lot of experience, and the data shows that he has averaged 7.3 points and 4.5 rebounds in 21.3 minutes per game so far in his career. With the Lakers this season, Barnes played in 63 games in the regular season, averaging 7.8 points and 5.5 rebounds per game.
"Sign him for a two-year contract as much as possible, the 1+1 kind, and the player option is also available!"
Huang Yu thought about it, the player option is not a big problem, if the state is really not good, then to ensure that in the case of entering the playoffs, it is also okay to let some players who are ready to trade brush the data, as for what regular season seats, Huang Yu will not fight, almost okay, anyway, next season is full of firepower, as long as it is not too many back-to-back, the Clippers' ranking will not be low.
----------
After the call, Huang Yu got up and prepared to go to the gym of the hotel to exercise a little, the horse is going to fly to Huaxia, and the disappearance of a dozen is not a joke, if the body is stiff for a day, Huang Yu will be very uncomfortable when he gets off the plane, even if he is in first class, it seems that he is going to put a private jet on the agenda, and a big bed is inevitable.
Two days after Huang Yu arrived in China, ESPN columnist Mark Stein's latest news, the big forward Louis Scola, who was pardoned by the Rockets, has been successfully bid by the Clippers, and other teams in the NBA have received this notice, before the Mavericks, Cavaliers and Thunder have considered bringing in Scola, and even the Real Madrid team in Europe has wanted to sign Scola , but in the end the Suns got this "diamond".
At this point, the dust has finally settled on Scola's whereabouts, with the addition of Scola to the Clippers' front line has been very crowded, according to the columnist's judgment, Huang Yu may appear in the No. 2 position in the new season, only in this way can the Clippers' risk congestion problem be alleviated.
Huang Yu smiled disdainfully when he saw this report, one more Scola front is crowded, and now the Clippers' forward Scola, Caron Butler, Grant Hill, and Huang Yu! It seems that there are a lot of people, but the physical condition of Caron Butler and Grant Hill is an uneasy factor, so two more people are nothing, and a large number of contracts are gone with the trade to Paul, but there are still some that will be traded away soon, and the Clippers will turn cruise ships into aircraft carriers again.
-----------
"Oh my God, dear fans and friends, I got another piece of news, the Clippers are crazy, and they just announced the signing of a named player in one breath!"
Reggie Miller said with a look of disbelief, he was paying attention to the Clippers since Huang Yu transferred to the Clippers, but in a disappointing season, if the Clippers can't be rectified internally, then the new season is to give the Big Five is in vain.
"They signed Grant Hill after bidding on Scola and we all thought the Clippers were crowded at the front, but they just announced the signing of 29-year-old free agent West, a player who performed well with the Mavericks this season, and the Clippers signed him with a 1+1 contract with a total annual salary of 7 million, and the Mavericks' 2 million a year is much more generous.
Not only that, but they also snatched Sinri from the hands of the Bulls and signed a three-year contract, although the exact number was not disclosed, but I would venture to guess that it was at least $11 million.
If you think that's the end of it? They also signed Matt Barnes, who was a Lakers player for the rest of the season, but we don't know what the contract will be. ”
Wow! The Clippers have really made a big move this season, and the current roster is completely championship-caliber powerhouse.
The colleague on the side looked at the excited Reggie Miller and shook his head, handed over his tablet, and suddenly Regie Miller's eyes widened.
"Oh my god, the Clippers gave everyone another hard blow, the biggest deal of the offseason so far came along, the Clippers made a deal with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies sent Marc Gasol and Jerry Bayless, got the Clippers' Griffin and a 2012 second-round pick!
The Clippers made up for the shortcomings of the season, although Martin did a good job, but after all, he is already a veteran, and some defenders are not enough! In exchange for little Gasol, in Gascola! The Clippers' interior starting lineup isn't afraid of any strong team. ”
Reggie Miller said excitedly, I don't know and think he is the mysterious boss of the Clippers!
-----------
Lakers fans watched the Clippers next door make trouble, and their own side not only got a Nash, but also signed a Meeks, did not move at all, and also let Barnes go, this kind of rival behavior made them attack a wave at the station.
"Wait, we're infinitely close to the big man! Now we need to confirm the amount of the first sign and then the exchange. ”
Kupchak is already familiar with this process, calming the impatient section, asking for help, and already making a fuss.
"Really, the Clippers are almost forming a super lineup, we won't even be able to beat next door next season!"
Coe said half-incredulously.
"Absolutely not, our transaction didn't hurt our bones, although we lost Andrew, but with Warcraft joining, it's worth it, isn't it!"
Kupchak didn't leave Warcraft in three sentences, in order to delay some time in the future, if Warcraft didn't sign first and then exchange, then the Lakers would spend so much effort to get him here and play for a season!
"Alright! Try not to hurt the team at all! ”
Ko hung up the phone, Kupchak rolled his eyes, how can you trade Warcraft without hurting your muscles and bones, it's crazy to use Bynum to trade a Warcraft that doesn't know if you can renew your contract, of course, this is from the perspective of his manager.
----------
On the evening of August 9th, some columnists successively gave the news that Warcraft joined the Lakers, Lakers fans are confused, this is the rhythm of planning to lose, change a Warcraft, and it is difficult to enter half of the Lakers team.
But when they saw the details of the transaction, they immediately went crazy, there was no big price, Co was still there, Gasol was still there, Nash was still there, Ci Shiping was still there, Blake was still there, Jordan Hill was still there, and even the cheerleader Thackeray was still there, so this deal....
The Lakers get: Howard, Earl Clark, Chris Dujon, and send: Bynum, McRoberts, Ayngar 2015 second-round pick and 2017 first-round pick
Magic gets: Afralo, Harrington, Harkris, Vucevy, McRoberts, Aynga, 2013 second-round pick, 2014 first-round pick, 2015 first-round protected pick, 2015 second-round protected pick, 2017 protected first-round pick: Howard, Duhon, Clark, Richardson
The 76ers get: Bynumley, Chadson send: Iguodala Raja Chris Vucevy 2015 first-round protected pick
Nuggets get: Iguodala, sends: Afflalo, Harrington, 2013 second-round pick, 2014 first-round pick
The Lakers were arguably the big winners of the deal, followed by the 76ers and the Nuggets, while the Magic, even the local media were disappointed, using the word "idiot" as the cover of the day's basketball section, and then wrote the content of the deal with a subheading.
