92. Small Transactions

Yes, Liu Ren knew that he still offended the chief assistant coach, but it was completely impossible for Dan D'Antoni to get the two people he wanted, and he really couldn't figure out how this chief assistant could come up with such an unreliable suggestion. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bradley is a player for the Celtics, not to mention that it is basically impossible for the Celtics to trade with the Lakers, Bradley's value is not what the Lakers can afford, a 23-year-old player who averages 15 points per game, and is still the second team of the All-Defensive Team last season.

Unless you send another team player in the first round next year, how can you get it, the Lakers' players basically have nothing to use as bargaining chips, and he and Whiteside, Green, and Antetokounmpo are absolutely impossible to trade.

In addition to the four of them, it is unlikely that Gasol will expire on his contract, and the Lakers' first priority now is to find a way to keep Gasol, and the rest of the players except for Nash, Kobe, and Thackeray are all one-year contracts with non-tradable clauses.

As for Courtney Lee, he was just traded to the Grizzlies in the news two days ago, and it is not yet time to trade again, but a first-round pick can be exchanged, the key is that the rules do not allow it!

Liu Ren really wanted to ask Dan D'Antoni if he had the brains to make such an unreliable suggestion, and it was so unprofessional, that he didn't even know that Courtney Lee was not tradable for the next three months? It's only in the offseason that you can trade the same player multiple times in a short period of time, which should be something that management should keep in mind, after all, as a coach, you should always think about how to make the team stronger.

Liu Ren remembered that this guy had never worked under other head coaches, and he felt that if this guy didn't have the nepotism of such a good brother, this guy would not have been able to find a job.

After the meeting, he did not go home, but stayed in the Toyota Center to train in the shot, the three-point ability was basically recovered, he was in his last life due to height problems, most of the shots were outside the three-point line and under the breakthrough basket, the shot was too easy to be covered, a university tens of thousands of people, a department also has thousands of people, the people in the school team are tall, so many people find a dozen people about two meters to play ball.

Therefore, the mid-range shot is the worst point in Liu Ren's shooting position, and the mid-range shot is the most difficult to practice, and the three-point line has the reference of the three-point line.

The mid-range shot is different, the mid-range shot position is unpredictable, and there may be an opportunity at any time, and you need to shoot anywhere outside the three-second zone within the three-point line, which requires a lot of practice, every point has to be practiced, there are no shortcuts, only hard practice.

At noon, Liu Ren ate a nutritious meal specially made by trainer Gary Weidi in the training hall, and he almost didn't vomit the terrible boiled chicken mixed with vegetable juice that he didn't know what.

This was followed by an afternoon of team practice.

Every time he went to the team to practice, Liu Ren felt that his team's team practice was almost a little interesting, and the head coach was often not there at this time, and after D'Antoni let the players write down the tactical line, he disappeared.

D'Antoni never communicates with the players, he has a very average relationship with the players, he doesn't say anything to cheer him on, he doesn't do anything to boost the confidence of the players, and everyone knows that he doesn't love defense.

However, Liu Ren is still grateful to D'Antoni, if it weren't for D'Antoni, he would not have had a chance to get ahead, and he might not be in the starting position so quickly, after all, there are few managers like D'Antoni who dare to boldly use players at the end of the bench.

Liu Ren knew that Kupchak had completely regretted voting for D'Antoni since the middle of last season, and the elder Bass knew that his son was not as talented as his daughter in managing the team, but he still loved his son Jim Bass more, so he gave his daughter Jenny the position of president, but the current team management was given to Jim.

The biggest industry of the Bass family is the Lakers, so everything about the Lakers is the most important, in the important matter of choosing a head coach, the old Bass is very "democratic" to let the general manager and vice president and vice president vote for the most proud of him, Jim hopes to adapt to the rhythm of the current league, plus bring in Nash to bombard, but Jenny feels that Kobe Bryant is too old to bombard, and it is more appropriate to use Kobe's containment to play a triangle offense.

Kupček and Jim had a very good personal relationship, so he voted for D'Antoni, which eventually led to the current embarrassing scene.

Therefore, Liu Ren knows that if there is an opportunity, Kupchak will definitely choose to change and change to a defense-oriented head coach, after all, the existing lineup is too suitable for a balanced offensive and defensive style of play.

Although Whiteside is a little lacking in low-post defense, he has a strong sense of supplemental defense, and Gasol is the same, but Green, a little man, unexpectedly has top-level low-post defensive ability, and he is proper against Howard, and there are Liu Ren and Bazemore on the outside, even if Kobe Bryant is still a traffic command-level defense after his comeback.

However, Liu Ren hopes that the head coach will not be Scott, that guy doesn't have a super point guard like Paul Kidd, and he doesn't attack at all......

……

At one o'clock in the afternoon on December 24, 2013, the Lakers and the Trail Blazers made an emergency trade, and the Lakers sent the 2015 second-round draft pick, more than 4 million injury exceptions and 2.4 million cash compensation requested by Kobe Bryant, and the signing rights of Tom Mises, the 51st pick in the 2006 second round, who was traded from nowhere, to get the lottery pick CJ McCollum selected by the Trail Blazers this year.

This deal did not attract much attention, people think that the Lakers temporarily strengthened the lack of manpower, after all, this year's draft is a disaster, ten out of fourteen lottery shows have little chance to play, McCollum is one of them, people are considered to be a gamble to lose the draft year, or a 22-year-old rookie, the Lakers probably fancy his college game experience, to replenish the manpower.

The Trail Blazers are considered to have earned, and the second-round draft pick may not be high, but the 2.4 million cash plus the salary after not having to pay McCollum, and the injury exception of more than 4 million!

After the Trail Blazers got rid of McCollum's $2.25 million salary, the total salary still has 61 million, and this year's salary cap is 58.9 million, which is more than the salary cap. They are very likely to make the playoffs this year, and they have no room to strengthen if they have a very poor bench, but with this injury regulation, they can exchange or sign a good player, and a good interior bench can be obtained with a salary of 4 million.
