"Before I say my advice, I want to hear your attitude towards LaMarcus, as far as I know, there are rumors out there right now that the team is interested in the Grizzlies' Mark Gasol," Jin Feng asked, asking a question that he has been concerned about for a long time, and that is the question of Aldridge's whereabouts.

Obviously, in the first two seasons, Ade did not play at the level he should have in the Spurs, even if the team won the championship last season, but many people did not recognize Aldridge's performance, even Popovich, was not satisfied with Aldridge's performance.

Therefore, the topic of Aldridge being traded has been going on for a long time, and Ade himself is not very happy with the team, and in the offseason, as far as Jin Feng knows, the relationship between the two sides has almost dropped to a minimum.

"Regarding LaMarcus, to be honest, at the beginning our system team was going to trade him, but after trying a few times, we didn't make a deal with another team, so it's no surprise that LaMarcus will still be a member of the team this season."

"And what if the Memphis Grizzlies are interested in pulling Marcus?" Jin Feng asked pointedly.

"Everybody thought we'd make a big deal with the Memphis Grizzlies, but in fact, I can tell you, it wasn't going to happen," Popovich shrugged.

"Why?"

"Because I decided to renew my contract with LaMarcus"

"What?" Popovich's answer surprised Jin Feng a little, didn't he say that he was going to trade? Why is it going to be renewed in a blink of an eye.

"I've spoken to LaMarcus a few times and I'm sure he'll be productive in the new season," Popovich smiled.

"So, what is the purpose of your talk to me? It sounds like the team obviously won't have any more trades" Jin Feng finally reacted, these guys didn't come to him to listen to their opinions about the transaction at all, but had other things.

"Haha, okay, now let's get down to business" Popovich's hearty laugh confirmed Jin Feng's guess.

"Cunning old bastard," Jin Feng said with diarrhea in his heart!

"Jin, to be honest, after a few conversations with LaMarcus, I'm not too worried about the team's interior in the new season, I'm worried about the outside, to be precise, the point guard position."

"Obviously, when Manu leaves, Tony, who returns from injury, will play more of a spiritual leadership role or the team's last card"

"That is to say, after Tony returns from injury in the new season, he will play more often as a substitute, and the team needs a starting point guard," the eyes of several people in the office looked at Jin Feng at this time.

"So what? You mean let me play the point guard position? God, isn't that a joke? Jin Feng's pupils shrank sharply.

"Jin, listen to me, you've proven to everyone that you can be the starting point guard for a championship team as well, so we want you to switch to point guard and make up for the pressure on the point guard," Buford explained.

"That's what you're talking to me for?" Jin Feng said with a pulled face.

"That's true, Kim," said Holt, the owner of the team, for the first time.

"What if I refuse?"

"So we're discussing now, Jin, of course you can choose to refuse, we won't force you, we just hope you can make some changes for the team, that's all" Seeing that Jin Feng's expression was wrong, Buford immediately played a round, he didn't want the relationship with Jin Feng to stiffen because of this, after all, Jin Feng's value now is too great.

"Greg, what do you mean?" Jin Feng turned his head to Popovich, he wanted to know what the old man thought.

"I know you're going to ask me, so I'll tell you the truth," Popovich glanced at Jin Feng.

"Jin, to be honest, from the beginning to the end, I want you to play the sixth man position, play the role of Manu, even if you are already a superstar, this, I remember I said it when I first talked to you last season, but, obviously, you will not accept such an arrangement, so, let you change to point guard, this is my new idea, because I believe in your point guard talent"

Jin Feng didn't expect that this was really Popovich's idea.

"Greg, why can't you give Dejounte (Murray) a chance? Or even give Brin (Forbes) a chance? ”

In Jin Feng's view, after a season of training, Murray has shown enough talent, and the only thing he lacks now is game experience, but in a team like the Spurs, as long as Popovich is willing to give him a chance, his teammates will give him a chance to make mistakes and grow.

Bryn Forbes, on the other hand, has been outstanding in summer league and has the potential to grow into a starting point guard.

"Dejounte is showing a lot of potential at the moment, but as the engine of the team, he's missing a big thing, and that's the big picture, which would put us up short in a crucial game."

"And Brin, before he was drafted by the team, he was indeed a point guard, but first of all, his physical condition is not an advantage compared to Dejounte, and secondly, from last season, my advice to him is to hope that he can switch to point guard, which will allow him to maximize his talent"

"So, they're not the right fit"

"So, why me? The fact that you chose to renew Patty's (Mills) contract proves that you recognize his ability, and in fact, Patty is really good, so why can't he be the starting point guard? Jin Feng asked again.

"First of all, when we renewed Patty's contract, we made it clear that the team could give him a new contract, but his definition is still that of a bench, and secondly, Patty's style is too offensive, he's not the kind of point guard who is good at organizing offense."

"So, that's why you chose me?" Jin Feng didn't know what to say, and it sounded like the three people above had reasons why they couldn't be the starting point guard.

"Jin, I can also tell you that we will also change some playing styles in the new season, which means that we will probably try to play small ball as well, and your speed is one of the main reasons why I decided to let you play point guard" Before Jin Feng could speak, Popovich said again.

At this time, the atmosphere became a little silent, and Jin Feng found that several guys in the system group were looking at him, waiting for his decision.

"My decision is that I can play point guard when the team needs it" Jin Feng took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

On the one hand, it is for the benefit of the team, on the other hand, in his opinion, there is almost no clear boundary between point guard and point guard in basketball in the new era, and the guest point guard experience in the playoffs last season gave him enough confidence.
