Lakers management wants to renew Malone's contract so that he can continue to play for the Lakers next season, which can be used as a gimmick to attract fans, ensure attendance, and play a role on the court.

Although Malone is 41 years old, he has maintained his form very well, and he is excellent on both offensive and defensive ends. With O'Neal gone, the Lakers are no longer super attractive, and no outstanding players are willing to take a pay cut to join. Embarrassingly, they also don't have the salary space to sign mid-range players in the free market.

With no choice but to sign the veteran Divac, who was abandoned by the Kings.

This Lakers roster is weaker than Guo's previous life, which in the summer of 2004, the Lakers traded Payton, Rick Fox and a conditional future first-round pick as trade chips for Celtics guard Chuki Atkins, center Chris Meeme, Marcus Banks, and a future second-round pick.

In his previous life, Meme, who started 75 games for the Lakers in the 2004-05 season, was an important rotation, and he was a great big man before his injury, as he could defend himself in the restricted area and pull out to block and shoot.

Atkins is also crucial, being the team's starting point guard, the fourth scorer, and the ability to shoot. It's just that he's physically at a disadvantage and has a terrible defense.

Now that Payton has joined the Suns on a free transfer, the Celtics can't impress the Celtics with just the final year of Fox's contract and draft picks, who made the playoffs last season, and they are not a rebuilding team.

In the end, the Lakers management could only sign people in the free market, no one inside and outside wanted to come, and some people chose to leave.

Fisher saw that the team's situation was not good, and he was not welcomed by fans in Los Angeles, so he switched to the Warriors on a five-year, 25 million contract.

Kupchak had no choice but to sign Smash Parker, who was unpopular in the free market. Then he traded Fox's expiring contract for veteran guard Howard Easley.

With the current lineup of the Lakers, if you want to learn from the Suns to play Kombat Whirlwind, you can't learn it, and the speed of the point guard can't launch a fast break at all.

The outside line barely got enough people, and the Lakers inside line was even weaker, and at this time, something magical happened.

Kobe Bryant went to a TV talk show and squirted Marlon. He believes that Malone's stay with the Lakers will affect the team's rebuilding next season. The tone is like Marlon is too old, and in order to surpass Abdul-Jabbar, he will definitely brush the data, which will affect the cultivation of new people.

There was an uproar on the Internet, which can be understood that if Kobe Bryant is in the position of Ma Long, then he will definitely ignore the outcome of the game and brush up the data. The Lakers are now missing an interior line, is he crazy to say such things?

When Guo Xu was with the Lakers, he helped Kobe Bryant communicate with his teammates, and his relationship with his teammates at that time was good, at least on the surface. As soon as Guo Xu left, Kobe Bryant basically ignored people in the team in the past two years, and his IQ and EQ soon dropped back to negative.

Even if the Lakers don't renew Malone's contract, it should be communicated euphemistically by the management, Kobe Bryant gave an interview without telling anyone, just like he publicly said bad things about O'Neal on the radio many times, which is outrageous.

Ma Long, who originally said that he would not retire, immediately changed his words, saying that he would retire directly and stop playing, and he didn't want to break that record.

Kobe's words made Malone lose face, if he continues to play and join a weak team to brush up on data, even if he breaks Abdul-Jabbar's record, the media will not say anything good, then he will become the kind of selfish cancer that Kobe said.

When O'Neill saw the news, he immediately went on the TV and shouted at Malone at the TV camera: "Carl, if you see this on TV, remember to give me a call, I will take you to Miami as soon as possible, we have everything ready for you there." My wish is to play with you on the Heat this season. ”

The fat man was righteous enough, but Malone called him and refused: "Shakel, thank you for your kindness, I'm tired, and ...... I can now fully understand why you want to kill Kobe. ”

Malone then held a press conference and publicly stated: "As much as I love the team so much, I love the fans so much, but the star players here don't want me to stay here, I understand his hints, I want to stay, but he doesn't want me to do that." It's not about the Lakers, I love the Lakers, it's just that the guy said he doesn't need me, I know what he means, so I'm going to go elsewhere and get on with my life. ”

Marlon had calmed down from his initial rage, and he sighed: "I'm not going to take away anyone's light, anyone's glory, anyone's anything, I'd rather move on and start a new chapter in my life." ”

Malone's agent, Manny, said that Bryant's words had deeply hurt Malone. Malone said he couldn't accept all of this, and several times, Kobe Bryant had privately asked him to give up on the Lakers, and it was clear that what happened to Jackson and O'Neal is now happening to him again. Kobe Bryant has already made a statement that he is this kind of personality, and Malone will not get used to all this, he would rather handle it his way. ”

This incident caused an uproar, and the Internet is saying that Kobe Bryant drove O'Neal, Jackson, and now Marlon away.

Lakers management hastened to issue a statement, saying that Bryant's statement "only represents himself and does not represent the views of Lakers management and the team at all."

Malone believes this is another pampering of Kobe Bryant by the Lakers. "I don't want to say anything, but look at what's going on, who's supposed to be the guy who told Kobe Bryant to shut up? It was they who gave Kobe Bryant countless privileges...... They left the decision in the hands of someone who didn't like me...... The one who slandered me several times. ”

Before the new season started, the Lakers' reputation stinked, and the trouble was bigger than Guo Xu's previous life.

Lakers general manager Kupchak and new coach Tomjanovic both said that the Lakers still have a place for Malone, and Tang Shuai even said that if Malone, if Malone, is willing to return, the team will definitely "roll out the red carpet" to welcome him. Bryant was also interviewed again, publicly apologizing and saying it was just a misunderstanding.

This has caused a discussion among online fans again, and they feel stupid.

In his previous life, Malone was unable to participate in the preseason due to injury, and Kobe Bryant could say that he said the wrong thing, but he just misunderstood. Now this thing is a misunderstanding? Do you treat the audience as SB? People have neat legs, but they haven't got a contract extension.

Malone refused to accept Bryant's apology, saying simply: "I've said everything I wanted to say." ”

Malone will not participate in the show to publicly tear up Kobe, that is too cheap. Even if he chooses to swallow his anger, online fans won't say anything nice about Kobe. Kobe's way of being the boss is disgusting, and he has a villainous face from beginning to end.

Guo Xu is willing to help Kobe avoid the "Eagle County Incident" for Vanessa's child who should have been miscarried, but he can't change his personality, which can always cause new trouble.

Now many Los Angeles fans are spraying the Lakers management for being blind, spraying old Buss as inhumane, saying that the Lakers are a group of villains who gather like things, cross rivers and tear down bridges. If the Lakers don't play well next season, everyone will have a big fight.

How can the Lakers play well with this lineup? Not only is there a lack of people on the inside, but there is not even a good three-point shooter. The good news is that no one is competing with Kobe Bryant anymore for the low post, and he can shoot at will, with a 45% shooting percentage.

A reporter asked Guo Xu, who was on vacation in Los Angeles, to evaluate Kobe Bryant and the Lakers next season.

Guo Xu smiled: "I don't know, and I don't evaluate, it has nothing to do with me." I can say that if we meet the Lakers in this game, it will be the Suns who will win, and we are stronger than last season. ”(https:)
