Chapter 320: The Greatest Player of All Time

Wu Di won three MVPs again this season, which is his second triple MVP.

At the end of the season, Wu Di began a new business journey and participated in the draft for 14 years.

With only the 28th and 59th picks in the Lakers' draft this year, it's hard to pick a good guy. However, the Zen master was not very satisfied with Jeremy Lin and traded him to the Hornets.

This Hornets is not the same Hornets Paul used to be. The Hornets, where Paul used to stay, changed to the Pelicans when they changed owners in January. And in May of this year, Charlotte Bobcat officially changed its name to Wasp.

The Hornets have always wanted a good point guard, and Jeremy Lin has played well with the Lakers and has been in their eye. And they really don't have any fancy players this year, so they traded this year's and the year after's first-round picks for Jeremy Lin.

The Hornets were ranked ninth in the draft, and Wu Di asked the Zen master to use this pick to choose Guo Dazhi. The 28th draft pick selected another guard, Jordan Clarkson. The fifty-ninth chose one person at random, and Wu Di was not too optimistic about the candidate.

The reason why the two guards were chosen was because in addition to trading Jeremy Lin, the Lakers also had to usher in the departure of Kirilenko, AK47 was already old, got a championship ring, and chose to retire.

Kobe Bryant became a free agent, but the Lakers offered him a two-year contract of 40 million, even if he didn't know if he could play in the past two years, the Lakers still gave him a maximum salary.

Veteran Lewis joined the Lakers with a base salary and came to hug his thighs.

Before the start of the season, Wu Di officially established a relationship with Hui Wanqi and began to normalize his private life. Hui Wanqi also knew that it would be difficult for Wu Di to get rid of his amorous problems after he developed them, but he also asked him to reduce the number of times he went out to fool around.

Before the start of the 14-15 season, Wu Di trained three rookies well. Now the Lakers' salary is as high as 92 million, once again exceeding the salary cap by 30 million. The Lakers come back with so many luxury taxes every year, just to have a good result.

After the start of the new season, Nash first served as the starting point guard, but after 15 games, he was injured and the season was reimbursed. Then Guo Dazhi officially took over the starting position, although Darren Collison has stronger scoring ability, but the defense is too poor, and he can only play as a substitute.

Bryant also returned, but his form was not very good, and his playing time was reduced to about 25 points, and the rest was made up by Klay Thompson. Clarkson didn't play when he arrived with the Lakers, so he had to play in garbage time.

Fortunately, his strength is not bad, and the Lakers have a lot of garbage time, scoring 6 or 7 points per game, and is known as a garbage time killer.

Guo Dazhi quickly integrated into the rhythm of the NBA game, and he can be said to be the person Wu Di has cultivated the most, and Wu Di is counting on him to fill the intensity of the national team guard.

The Lakers' lineup this season is not weak, and if it weren't for Kobe Bryant's emotions, the Lakers might have completed a new winning streak again. Fortunately, Bryant has only played 35 games this season, and the rest of the time has been started by Klay Thompson.

Kobe Bryant was injured and finally suffered an All-Star, and he was reimbursed for the season again. As soon as he tossed like this, the Lakers' record was not as good as last season, with only 68 wins. Despite only 68 wins, the Lakers are still the top team in the regular season.

And in the playoffs, the Lakers swept all but one loss to the Warriors.

There have been a couple of major changes this season, as there were a lot of big names in free agency before the season began, and the landscape across the league has changed a lot. First of all, the most striking thing is that James returned to the Cavaliers as the boss, and formed a new Big Three with Irving and Kevin Love.

The second is the rise of Curry, who has exploded this season, averaging 26.8 points per game this season. But after the playoffs, it began to explode, and the average increased to 31.6 points per game. And Curry replaced Paul as the No. 1 point guard in the West.

It's a pity that there are more powerful players and teams in the West. Wu Di once again became the MVP of the regular season with 42.6 points, 14.2 rebounds and 12.1 assists this season, and once again won the All-Star MVP when he was an All-Star.

The Lakers also had a bumper harvest this season, Guo Dazhi became the MVP of the rookie game, and Klay Thompson won the three-point game. Wu Di won the skills competition and brought himself 20 wins.

The Lakers swept the Cavaliers, completed a three-game winning streak, and once again established a dynasty.

After the end of the season, the Lakers entered a bottleneck in their development, which came from the contract extension of Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler. The value of these two people has skyrocketed now, and if they want to renew their contracts, they will need to make a big adjustment. Fortunately, Nash has vacated 8 million salary space, plus the previous salary of the two, he can sign a person.

But the other person couldn't, and Wu Di didn't really want to send either Klay Thompson or Jimmy Butler away. The Zen master is also optimistic about their future, and maybe they can help the Lakers maintain the entire peak.

Now the Lakers have Wu Di, a big killer, equipped with several stars, and has the level of winning the championship. So in order to maintain the Lakers' continued championship-winning configuration, the Zen master always has to find a way to sign the two of them.

The Zen master has married Jeanie Buss at the end of the season, and the Lakers are now part of their family's property, so he naturally needs to pay attention to it. Although the Lakers have completed two dynasties in recent years, who is afraid of more championships?

At this time, Kobe Bryant stood up, he announced his retirement at the beginning of the new season, and at this time Kobe felt that he no longer had the need to play, and he had all the honors he should receive.

And his injury also gave him a psychological shadow, although the Achilles tendon was not as serious as Yao Ming, but the strain for several years also affected him, so he chose to retreat bravely.

Kobe's retirement has become the biggest news, and he has become a greater player than Jordan, because he can choose to retire when he can't play, instead of retiring repeatedly like Jordan, and then coming back, especially with the Wizards, which directly caused him to lose his late season.

Although Kobe Bryant also had the stain of driving away O'Neal, he helped Wu Di gain a firm foothold in the Lakers in the later part of his career, helped the Lakers complete the core replacement, and did not cause turmoil to the Lakers, which is much stronger than the complete collapse of the Bulls after Jordan's retirement.

And because of Kobe's retirement, the Lakers finally have salary space to complete the contract renewal of Klay Thompson and Jimmy Butler, the Lakers gave Klay Thompson a 6-year contract of 110 million, and gave Jimmy Butler a contract of 6 years and 100 million, completely passing the bottleneck period.
