"Mike, what do you think of these two?"

"This is the white edge? Liu's vision is outstanding! I don't know where he saw this guy! ”

How can this guy not make it in the NBA?

Kupchak looked at the big man in front of him and couldn't figure out how the king would cut this big man with such outstanding athleticism and physical talent?

What's the most valuable thing in the NBA, center!

A big man with such a height and weight that can still have this kind of movement and flexibility, even if he looks at it, he has to spend a middle class, right? There are a lot of teams that are willing to give tens of millions of annual salaries!

There is also this point guard, this point guard is not recommended by Liu Ren, but it also makes Kupchak's eyes shine, although the defense is almost none, but the passing is really in place, and it feels like a brush assist, and he can always pass directly to his teammates to score. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

To brush assists, you have to have that ability! People are able to get the ball to their teammates at the end of their chances, isn't that true of Nash? It's just that Nash's personal offensive ability is extremely good, so that the opponent does not dare to let go of him, and even wrap him, and he can still deliver assists at critical moments, this guy does not have this ability, but it is also a good choice to lead the second team as a substitute.

These two men are Whiteside and Marshall, two former NBA players who were cut by the team.

Marshall is okay, he was cut by the Suns in the middle of last season, not far from the NBA, Whiteside has been away from the NBA for nearly two years, he was cut less than two months after the start of the 10-11 season, and then he had no job for most of the year, and could only go to China to pan for gold in the 12-13 season, who knows that even the CBA doesn't want him.

Today is the first trial day of the Lakers offseason, Kupchak invited a lot of overseas players and free agents, when they went to the CBA to look for Whiteside's contact information, they were stunned and couldn't find it, and later learned that this guy can't even play in the CBA in China, so he can only play in the lower leagues.

Kupchak was immediately annoyed, what kind of person did Liu Ren recommend!

But since the invitations were all sent out, he could only take a look, but he didn't expect to find a treasure!

By the way, Marshall, who always gets the ball to Whiteside in various ways, also came into Kupchak's sight.

"Sign it! Be sure to sign it! "Kupchak made this decision after only one training session, Marshall is whatever, sign for a year, but Whiteside must stay, a four- or five-year contract! Anyway, his value is not high, even if it is not suitable, it is easy to trade such a big man.

The Lakers are without Howard, and the interior line is really weak! Gasol and the Lakers look inseparable, and the team is sorry for Gasol, it is not easy to keep him, and there has been no superstar inside contract expiration in the past two years, and Kupchak will not hesitate to make a move when he sees a potential big man.

Kupchak suddenly looked up a lot at Liu Ren's eyes, and thought: This kid has a hand, it seems that unambitious players also have the benefit of unwillingness, and he knows a lot of people who have the same experience.

……

"Hassan, did you think the Lakers would keep us?" Marshall said, taking a sip of the energy drink.

Just now, Marshall did his best to show himself, and whether he could stay or not could only be left to the fate of God.

"I don't know, I hope I can stay, I don't want to go overseas anymore." Whiteside Derby is a lot calmer than two years ago, if the Kings see the current Whiteside, they will definitely not hesitate to give a contract, they know Whiteside's talent, but this young man's character is too poor, ridiculously bad, and he has no professional player quality at all.

After two years of polishing, he couldn't even play in the high-level league overseas, so that Whiteside's edges and corners were smoothed, but his obedient character was smoothed out, and his spirit was still there, otherwise he would have made money overseas.

"I've heard that overseas salaries are very high! If I have the chance, I'm going to try it overseas, but I've heard that overseas teams need players who can do everything, so I don't think it's going to happen. Marshall was a little envious of Whiteside making a lot of money playing overseas, and he was playing in the NBA for a base salary at best, which was what his agent told him.

"It's not about the money, I'm going to prove that I'm still an NBA player, that I'm a center in the NBA." Whiteside said in a deep voice.

Whiteside is very determined, but he also knows that it will not be easy, he is ready to retreat, if this time back to the United States trial fails, he still has to go back to the NBL to play, the NBL is China's basketball secondary league, and the team in it has a little chance to join the CBA, which is a reserve league for CBA expansion.

Marshall's thoughts on Whiteside are understandable, but he knows his ability, and playing as a main substitute is the sky, and he will not fight for anything, he will only try to do what he can, but he is a good substitute player.

While the two were chatting nervously, Dan D'Antoni, Lakers assistant coach and head coach Mike D'Antoni's brother, came up to the two.

"Kenta, Hassan, the general manager asked you to go." Dan D'Antoni finished asking his assistant to take the two to the general manager's office, he had other things to do.

As the team's No. 1 assistant coach, Dan D'Antoni is very busy, and there are a bunch of players on trial, and he has to look at them one by one, and then write a good review for the general manager and head coach to see.

Whiteside was recommended by Liu Ren, and Kupchak would watch him try out on the second floor of the training hall, and no one else would see Kupchak, unless he was a good free agent.

Whiteside and Marshall looked pleasantly surprised, they knew what that meant, and if they failed the tryout, they would be notified to leave, which meant that the Lakers meant to keep them.

Even if it's a training camp contract, they'll work hard!

But what surprised them even more was to come!

When they arrived at the general manager's office, Kupchak and D'Antoni asked where they lived, what they used to play and some things about life, and in their anxious mood, they came up with a two-point contract.

Marshall is a 1+1 contract with a team option, which is non-guaranteed for the second year, with a salary of 1.5 million in the first year and 1.57 million in the second year.

Marshall was already very satisfied with the one-year guaranteed contract, and was so anxious that he signed it without even notifying the agent.

On the other hand, Whiteside also didn't notify his agent, signed the contract, and didn't even look at the salary, he didn't care about the salary at all, otherwise the salary in the NBL was much higher than here, and he just wanted to return to the NBA.

When the signing was made and Kupchak gave him his contract, Whiteside was very excited when he saw the length of his contract.

6.4 million in 4 years!

What excites Whiteside is not the salary, which he can get two years overseas, what he is excited about is the length of the contract, the first two years are fully guaranteed, and the second two years have a team option! That is, a 2+1+1 contract!

The icing on the cake will not produce much friendship, and it will make people grateful for the charcoal in the snow, Whiteside has tasted the bitterness of his back in the past two years, and someone is willing to provide him with a contract, and it is the first trial to give him a contract, and suddenly there is a grace of knowing the encounter.

At the end of the day, Whiteside is a very simple man, and he just wants to get back to playing in the NBA and prove himself. Otherwise, I wouldn't be stupid to come back to get the basic salary in the eyes of others, instead of easily earning several times the salary overseas.

People who have ideals and goals are often the easiest to succeed.
