Smith talked about the Kings again, since the end of the King's golden generation in 08, the team has been in the rebuilding stage, 2009 rookie Tyrek Evans, the rookie season handed over 20 + 5 + 5 data, I thought I found a second James, but I didn't expect Evans to be a typical example of high and low, and has been tepid since then. In the 2009-2010 season, the Kings' 25-57 record was abysmal.

In 2010, the Kings had a promising forward DeMarcus Cousins, but the Kings' 24-58 record in the 10~11 season was terrible.

The Kings haven't had a reliable point guard at the moment, and Thomas Jr., who was drafted at the end of the second round in '11, is currently doing well, averaging 12 points, 4.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game. But Thomas, who is only 175 tall, is not a big problem as a substitute, and it is still a big problem as the team's main point guard.

The Kings' trade chip is Chen Shu's list for Thomas Jr., because they both know that the Bulls can't give you a big contract and core treatment, they can only trade you. The Kings obviously want to take advantage of the fire, and of course the previous Raptors' offer also included this factor.

"Smith, these two teams are not very sincere, although they need a point guard, but they still don't think very much of me."

"That's true, but if the deal goes through, after the deal, you can maintain that level, as long as the team management is not stupid, they will develop you as a core, and in a rebuilding team like this, there will be opportunities to play," Smith continued.

"After that, it's the Suns, and the Suns are very sincere, and they're willing to trade for next year's first-round pick, because it's said that Nash highly recommended you to management."

"Nash? I don't seem to have anything to do with him."

"I don't know about this, but your technical characteristics are very similar to Nash's, with accurate shooting and good vision, maybe this is also an important reason."

"Don't the Suns have Nash in charge? Will I have a chance if I go? ”

"I've spoken to the Suns' management and they've promised to give you plenty of minutes this season, and if you deliver on your talent, you'll be the core point guard next season."

"Huh? So Nash is going to trade? ”

"Well, I'm afraid that's the case, it is said that Nash is plagued by injuries, his form is declining, and now the Suns are not doing anything in a short period of time, Nash wants to use the end of his career to join a team that has a chance to win the championship, and finally fight for the championship. That's why they're looking for Nash's successor. ”

"Smith, I know, these teams, I can accept them, but it is necessary to have a commitment to play time, and there is a sign and then change, the contract amount is about the same, but the maximum number of years to sign is 3 years, preferably 2+1, player option, I know it's difficult, please."

"Well, do your best"

"By the way, let's take some time, Anta needs you to go to their experimental base in New York, measure the data, and customize the sneakers."

"Well, it just so happens that there is no game tomorrow, let's go over together, you can make an appointment for me"

"Okay, Anta's beautiful commercial director Li Wei is looking forward to you, haha, don't tease you, you continue to be busy, I'm going to talk to the general manager of the team." You have to combine work and rest, don't overtrain, it's not good for you."

"I understand that"

After saying goodbye to Chen, Smith drove away.

With a sigh of relief, Chen Shu wanted to leave the Bulls early, since everyone knew that Chen Shu was about to trade and leave, in addition to Noah and Butler, the teammates who had just known each other for a long time gradually became a little rusty.

On the court, Chen Shu is a calm and confident person who does not smile, Chen Shu is humble and polite off the court, and everyone gets along well, except for the point guards who have a competitive relationship with him.

Now that many teammates are gradually alienated from him, Chen Shu has gradually lost his sense of belonging. Without a sense of belonging, pure dreams can sustain his work, but not his life.

After thinking about it a lot, Chen Shu shook his head, cleaned up his mood, and continued to devote himself to training, and the next step was strength training.

Tonight's game against the Raptors, the difference in strength between the two teams is huge, but no one will underestimate the opponent, because everyone knows that there are no weak teams in the NBA.

Chen Shu thought to himself, since the Raptors only look at the commercial value behind Chen Shu, but do not really recognize his potential. Then he has to perform well tonight, and if he really makes a deal with the Raptors and plays well, he will naturally be recognized by the Raptors. Second, when the Raptors feel Chen Shu's strength, they will increase their trading chips, and the success rate of the transaction will be higher.

In fact, Chen Shu still likes to go to a city like Toronto, where there are many Chinese, because it is easier to find a sense of belonging in such a city and it is easier to integrate into life.

Chen's thoughts coincide with the Bulls management, and the Bulls are still thinking about the Raptors' first-round pick next year and the No. 11 pick in '08, a good two-way position Jerry Bayless, in the first game of the season, in the Raptors' game against the Detroit Pistons, Jerry Bayless scored 31 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the Raptors complete a 25-point comeback. So far, Jerry Bayless has played in more than a dozen regular-season games for the Raptors, averaging 10.0 points and 4.0 assists per game.

Jerry Bayless' speed allows him to quickly keep up with the transition, and his speed combined with explosiveness gives him a lethal first step that allows him to get a lot of open vision, and Bayless's mid-range level is also good.

Such an instant power is also coveted by the Bulls, who are aiming to win a championship this season. In fact, even if Chen Shushan replaced Jerry Bayless, which is equivalent to a draft pick for a 08 first-round pick, the Bulls have already earned, but they are not satisfied, in terms of potential, Chen Shu's potential is far greater than Bayless. So the Bulls bit and didn't let go, asking the Raptors to increase their chips.

If this game, Chen Shu has a direct conversation with the Raptors, it is equivalent to the Raptors inspecting the goods in advance. So the Bulls management and Thibodeau plan to give Chen more opportunities to perform today.

In the evening, Union Center Court. The game is about to start, everyone is warming up, Thibodeau looked at Chen Shu who was shooting and warming up at this time, and his feelings were complicated, one is that he regrets trading Chen Shu, and the other is that he solved this matter in his mailbox as soon as possible, determined all the personnel, and used the regular season to train well to prepare for the next playoffs.

Chen Shu, who felt something, turned his head and saw Xibodeo looking at him, both of them smiled with complicated expressions, and they were busy again. Chen Shu is grateful to Thibodeau for signing Chen Shu and bringing him to the NBA stage. But there is no way, Rose is now in the bulls, and it is not something he can shake at the moment.
