The second day back to Russia.

After his regular strength training, Lee was invited to the general manager's office for a meeting by Presty.

At the conference table, the Thunder's three scouts, Presti, head coach Brooks, vice president and several other executives were impressively listed.

Due to the outstanding performance of Chandler and Gibson, who joined the team in the summer, Lee Forest now has a high position in the management of the Thunder when it comes to the lineup.

A healthy Chandler completely propped up the Thunder's defense, and during Chandler's injury, the old rookie Gibson dared to fight and completely played worthy of his position.

During the Thunder's 7-1 loss, Gibson, Kostic, and Ibaka couldn't be as airtight as Chandler's inside, but they weren't as impenetrable as other teams last season.

Gibson's passion is also quite popular with the Thunder, and the locker room atmosphere is very OK now, without the tension between the three last season.

Plesty tapped his finger on his desk and said, "Lee, we need a KD backup small forward, do you have any good candidates?" ”

Li Linlin frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Sam, can you get LeBron James and Paul Pierce?" ”

, I asked Li Forest to give advice every day, but I didn't even give a list, how to choose Li Linlin?

This is not his job, and Li Linlin, who attaches great importance to training, is a little dissatisfied.

Presty also seemed to realize Li Linlin's dissatisfaction, and immediately gave a document to Li Linlin, and then said, "No kidding, Li, haha!" Those two can't get it, this is a list of us that we have the opportunity to contact, we can provide your opinion, your vision is no worse than that of us! Ha ha. ”

Thunder management is good at drafting, but not good at trading "merit" Li Forest is very familiar with.

Li Forest did not continue to be dissatisfied and took the document.

Lee Forest looked at the list that Primy had brought over.

I looked for a while.

Two names were drawn.

……

Danny Green vs. Wesley Matthews.

This year's Thunder drafted Ty Gibson with the No. 25 pick, and Danny Green, who is still being drafted by the Cavaliers, is not having a good time with the Cavaliers and is not in the rotation. He is a very inconspicuous teammate next to James, and no one thinks that this second-round rookie can have any prospects in the future, and it is very likely that he will be cut.

And Wesley Johnson is an undrafted pick, and Lee Forest has a deep impression of him, this guy is now an energetic wing shooter with three-point accuracy.

Although he has average ball control, it is enough to play small forward, and not all ball control requirements are the same as Durant. His low back play is better than his front ball, and while his reach and bounce affect his defense, his strong muscles and tough defensive attitude are very good.

Li Linlin said very forcefully: "These two people are very suitable for being KD's substitutes, you can try to ask the price." ”

Plesti watched Li Forest get two names, and his eyes lit up!

Brooks and the three scouts also took a look.

"Danny Green is still what I said in the summer, he's still an underrated 3-and-D, Wesley Johnson is both offensive and defensive, I can't figure out why no team was willing to give this guy a chance, and now it's cheap Jazz, you can see if you can get it," Lee said. ”

Presti looked at Li Linlin's person and said to the surrounding management members, "OK! Let's discuss and study them one by one. ”

.....................

The meeting went on for a long time.

Team deals are always a big deal, they need to be very deliberate, and they need the final signature of the owner.

Plesty discussed Lee's views with everyone in management.

In the end, it was decided to inquire first, except for the core lineup, Li Linlin also played with them.

At the end of the meeting.

Li Forest thought of the hardships of the previous games, and said: "Sam, our interior line is still a little worse, Tyson has too many injuries, can you get that second-round pick of the Clippers Andrew Jordan...."

Lee's proposal was also recorded by Presty.

The meeting lasted nearly three hours.

With the exception of a few exceptions, a mid-season trade isn't an immediate deal, and even a second-round pick is the result of a lengthy battle between the team's management.

No matter how awesome Li Forest is, it is impossible for Plesty's professional managers to obey him with a word.

There is no such thing as the pig's feet in YY who can ask the boss and manager to trade the other party's unknown but awesome players without saying a word.

The relationship between the management of each team in the NBA is very complex, with a lot of high-level games, coach-manager games, coach-assistant coach games, players and coaches, players and team managers, and there are many struggles between face and power interests.

Even if you are the owner of the team, you can't say anything.

The boss of Yiyantang is that there are no good professional managers who are willing to work for him.

At this stage at the top, basically the managers of the team are not only pursuing money, but also a series of spiritual things such as respect and achievement.

The boss must also respect their opinion.

........................

TNT TV has done a Thunder column called "Thunderball," which is being broadcast on TV.

Van Gundy Jr. and Pippen made a detailed analysis of the Thunder's getting stronger on the show.

"The Thunder's talent this season has been realized quickly, and they have begun to enjoy the fruits of the management and its excellent vision in the past two years, Durant and Li Forest have improved significantly, and when Westbrook calms down, their No. 1 position will also have a great advantage, the Thunder is now attacking at a fast pace, and fans who have watched the game should know very well that when these three speed up together, they will become very difficult to defend, and in the positional battle, they have Durant and Li Forest, two of the league's top singles masters, on the defensive end, Their summer arrival of Tyson Chandler is a great value, and a healthy Chandler perfectly compensates for the Thunder's lack of interior in the positional battle last season. It can be seen from the game between the Lakers and the Celtics that the Thunder no longer have no way to attack the interior, and Ibaka, tsk, this guy's block is really fierce. ”

The more Van Gundy Jr. and Pippen analyzed, the more they felt the horror of this thunder.

"Of course, their brightest performance this season is the Chinese, when they have the best chance to fall behind is the main injury in those games, Li Forest's outburst pulled the Thunder out of the brink of collapse, I still can't understand how Sam's vision is so vicious, such a cornerstone level player has been excavated by him."

Of course, the Thunder are not without weaknesses, first of all, Chandler's injury, then Westbrook's instability, and of course, most importantly, their lack of playoff experience. It's not a big problem to make the playoffs if they all have a lineup, but what about after they get to the playoffs? Does Forest Lee have the patience to accompany the Thunder in the playoffs in the past two years? His increasingly vague attitude towards contract renewal has also made the future uncertain for the Thunder. ”

"I wouldn't be surprised if the Thunder won the championship in two years, but right now, they're still too immature."

Van Gundy Jr. and Pippen both spoke about the most critical aspects of the Thunder.

Lack of playoff experience!

The shortcomings of the Thunder in the lineup are not obvious, but in terms of experience, the difference between them and teams such as the Celtics and Lakers is not ordinarily strong.

This paragraph silenced Li Linlin, who was watching TV.

Li Forest received a lot of playoff experience from No. 8 Branch, but Durant and Westbrook did not, Li Forest's current A+ strength is unlikely to come out to save the team like No. 8 Branch again, how can there be a weak team in the West that can enter the playoffs, Durant said that he is the scoring champion, but many defensive giants really don't instigate him when they get to the playoffs.
