In addition to the 76ers, other league powerhouses are also secretly preparing for reinforcements, especially the Pacers and Raptors in the East and the Lakers and Kings in the West, all of whom are coming for the 76ers. In the finals, everyone saw that the 76ers' interior line was a weakness, because they were often one inside and four outside, not one big and four small, Lewis was also a "big", but he still belonged to the "outside", which made the 76ers' interior relatively empty.

Just look at O'Neal, who averaged 29.3 points, 13.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game in seven Finals games, and basically sieved the 76ers' interior except for the last game. They also know that the 76ers will definitely fix this hole in the offseason, but will the new signings really integrate into the team smoothly by then?

Strictly speaking, only the Raptors have a more average interior line, and their starting interior Antonio Davis and Charles Oakley are too short in height, one is 2.06 meters and the other is 2.03 meters, and they can support the team's interior offense and defense. The other three teams are relatively good on the inside, not to mention O'Neal, the Kings have Divac, who is a responsive center, and the Pacers have O'Neal Jr., who is on the rise, and they are all short of centers.

However, the Lakers have now begun to look for a third scoring point, and the loss in the Finals made the Lakers realize that the "OK combination" is not a panacea, and when these two guys can't play a role on the court, there is no third person who can step up and score. Kobe and O'Neal are people, not gods, they can't play 48 minutes in every game, they also need fire support when only one person is on the court, and it's just a last resort to get everything done by one person.

The Zen master actually has a goal in mind, and he wants to get the Timberwolves' second-year pitcher, Szzebiak. First of all, the Lakers have no shortage of people in the backcourt and inside, but their wing is Fox, who averaged only 9.6 points, 4 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game last season. In contrast, Szczebiak is more qualified as the team's third scoring point, he averaged 14 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game last season, and more importantly, he is still in the second season of his career, which is not expensive, but the Timberwolves are expected to have a hard time letting go.

However, the Zen master is originally a decisive character, and he will do his best to let him wear the Lakers' purple and gold jersey after identifying Szzebiak, in his opinion, Szzambiak is very suitable for the Lakers' tactical system, with Kobe Bryant and O'Neal on the inside and outside, he can get a lot of opportunities on the outside, and his shooting rate last season was 51%.

The Lakers' trade rumors about Szczebiak quickly leaked out, and of course this was also instructed by the Zen master, who hoped to put pressure on the Timberwolves, after all, most players in the league dream of playing in Los Angeles, and the Lakers are naturally attractive as a long-established giant. And Szczebiak, the No. 6 pick in 1999, has two years left on his rookie contract, and if the team can force him to trade him, then the Lakers can lower the price they have to pay.

Regarding the rumors that the Lakers want to get the trade of Szebiak, Chang Wei just smiled slightly, he naturally knew what the Zen master was thinking, it was nothing more than equipping Kobe Bryant and O'Neal with a third scoring point, as long as anyone who has watched the Finals knows their weakness, but whether the Timberwolves are willing to trade or not, after all, they already have Garnett, the cornerstone of the team.

Now Chang Wei should focus more on the tryouts of the rookies, and the list of recruits has been determined after many discussions, and the next thing is to see Billy King. In fact, there are not many excellent interior players in the league now, and many of them are famous, and the team is willing to trade one in ten thousand, and Chang Wei's target is Alonzo Mourning.

Born in 1970, Mourning was one of the best centers in the league in the previous decade, and was a well-known tough guy in the NBA, but he was diagnosed with a serious kidney condition last October, which caused him to miss most of the games last season and did not return until March this year.

Brown was also taken aback when Chang Wei told Brown that he had proposed to bring in Mourning, citing the same objection as Mourning's kidney disease. But Chang Wei said to him: "Coach, if you find out, you will know what kind of injury Maddie had at the beginning, which may also affect his career, but isn't he still alive and well now?" And he has become a first-class star in the league, I can tell you, this is what I did, if I don't believe it, I can call him, or even ask him out, we can confront him face to face, so please believe in my ability, Mo Ning can help us. ”

Brown's face changed a little, and finally he smiled bitterly, pointed at Chang Wei and shook his head and said: "You, you will really make trouble for me, it is difficult for the management of any team to agree to the introduction of a player with a history of major injuries like Mourning, you are gambling!" It's okay to say if you win a bet, but what if you lose a bet? Forget it, you wait for my news, I'll try my best to convince them. ”

Chang Wei was very touched by the trust of the old coach, in fact, few head coaches can tolerate their subordinates messing around like this, yes, the introduction of Mo Ning looks like nonsense. But the reason why the team brought in Mourning and was ready to use the system to treat him was because Chang Wei saw a name in the list of players who participated in the draft, a name that he accidentally omitted at the beginning.

In Chang Wei's view, now the team does not need to continue to trade draft picks upward, nor does it need to choose Durham Porter like in his previous life, there is a better option for the 30th pick, although this person is as unruly as Iverson, but if he can be selected, the firepower of the 76ers bench will be greatly improved, and there is no need to continue to trade. When the time comes, if one of the top second-round picks is used to select Oku as a backup center, then in fact, all the team will get through the trade is just a starting center, which undoubtedly greatly reduces the difficulty of the 76ers' recruitment, and also reduces the workload.

And the name Chang Wei saw, for a period of time in the first decade of the 21st century, the whole alliance can be said to have changed, that is Gilbert Arenas, known as "Agent Zero".
