The Lakers said they were happy with Ben Simmons during the tryout.

The media and fans ignored it.

Ben Simmons said he would love to play for the Lakers and could learn a lot from Liu Ren and Green.

The media and fans said that you think too much, child.

Then, the Suns said, let's sign you with the top pick!

Then, the Lakers said, you guys are so good! We'll help you too! We have a guy named LaVine, and the guy on your team named Booker is an agency and they want to play together.

At this time, a Bucks representative named Kidd came up and said that we still have a No. 3 pick, and it's useless for us to rebuild the team with it, do you want Lakers? Just one Antetokounmpo...... No? That and that...... Do you want to do that, Brother Sun?

The Suns said, okay, we have a good point guard named Bledsoe, who is known as the point guard version of James, and a very good power forward Morris, but he has a fetish......

The Bucks said yes, wow, wow, what do we like best......

At this time, the Suns said that we are also a rebuilding team! It's useless for us to hold the No. 3 lottery this year......

At this time, the Lakers came up again, saying Brother Sun, seeing that you are so difficult to rebuild, buddy, help you, our boss kidnapped your Arizona goddess Abby, I'm sorry, I'll give you a Monroe, you see that now you have the future triumvirate combination of LaVine, Booker, and Monroe, you can help us replace the No. 3 pick back! We need instant combat power......

So, the three teams hit it off.

Then, on June 18, just before the draft on June 20, the Lakers reached a three-way deal with the Suns and the Bucks, and the Lakers sent super potential star Zach LaVine, big center Greg Monroe, who made Popovich hungry to death, and Corey Brewer, a man who just got 52 points in a single game from the Rockets, got the Suns' No. 1 pick this year, and the Bucks' No. 1 pick this year!

The Suns sent this year's No. 1 pick, Eric Bledsoe, Markieff Morris, Zach LaVine, who got superstar potential, and Greg Monroe, who has first-class center ability, plus Devin Booker, TJ Warren, and Tyson Chandler that the Suns already had, and the rebuild was completed almost from the moment of the trade!

The Bucks looked like they were gambling, and this year's No. 3 pick would be a hit at most, but it was completely useless for them, so Kidd chose to gamble and bet that Bledsoe would not continue to be injured, Bledsoe is only 26 years old, and has one of the few averages in the league with an average of 20+6+5 per game, if he recovers his health, the Bucks have a rebuilding core!

And Bledsoe plus Jabari Parker plus Markieff Morris, can be regarded as a fight in the East, two consecutive years of unsuccessful swinging, last year's Mario Herzonia is simply a pit, Kidd doesn't believe in betting on the draft, he decided to bet on a wave of injuries that have proven himself, if Bledsoe can play, plus Jabari Parker and Markieff Morris, and the role players who have trained enough in the past two years, there is a chance to return to the playoffs!

……

The Lakers won two consecutive championships, and then after two consecutive championships, they actually got high draft picks, and there were two at a time!

Leaving aside how incredible it is, the deal is done.

The main thing is, what is the Lakers trying to do!

Is this year's No. 3 pick worth trading for Monroe? Is this year's champion lottery worth exchanging with Lavin?

Simmons is great, but he's just a rookie who hasn't made it to the NBA yet, so you can be sure he'll be better than LaVine, who has already proven that he has the potential to be a future superstar?

This trade came out, and it seemed that the Lakers were amazingly getting the top pick and the scout pick together, but it was recognized that they were losing.

Monroe had an average performance of 15+10 per game when he was in the Pistons, and there are no more than 5 centers that can perform like this, and less than 10 centers with a comprehensive efficiency stronger than Monroe, that is, the Lakers exchanged a top 10 center in the league for the No. 3 pick of a super draft year.

In fact, if the Lakers use Monroe to trade for the Celtics' No. 2 pick, it is possible to get it, after all, the Celtics are good enough in all aspects, and they are short of a strong center, Olynyk...... It can only be said that it is okay.

However, neither the Lakers nor the Celtics considered trading with each other.

It can be said that the Lakers' deal, judging from the value obtained by both sides of the transaction, the Lakers must be a blood loss.

But at this time, an expert came out to tweet and analyze.

There is no way for the Lakers to make such a deal, Whiteside is about to face a contract extension, and it is still not enough to clean up Biyombo, they can only give up one more person, Gasol is unlikely, his performance in the playoffs is too good, he maintains his body too well, and even better than Monroe's performance, the two have similar salaries, and the relationship between the Lakers and Gasol is so deep, anyway, they just want a No. 4 inside, and it is a normal choice for them to trade Monroe.

Regarding LaVine's trade, LaVine and Antetokounmpo are destined to go one, both are ball-handling point guards, and both have superstar talent, the Lakers must make a trade-off, and in the end the Lakers chose Antetokounmpo, so LaVine must be traded, and no matter how bad the strength of the champion is exchanged, it will not be worse than the two years that LaVine played on the bench.

……

This expert's analysis surprised the Lakers a little, and it seems that there are still experts with real abilities.

Magic and Kupchak made this decision, and they did think about it like this, and to sign the champion, not to sign the list, in addition to not wanting to trade with the Celtics, there is also a very important reason, because this year's list of favorites is Liu Ren's players, they don't want the Lakers to become Liu Ren's team alone, and it is also for this reason to send Monroe away instead of sending Gasol away through friendly negotiation with Gasol.

And then why it was traded for LaVine instead of Antetokounmpo, it was because of Kobe's decision.

LaVine is also unlucky, when he first came to the Lakers, he was much more valued than Antetokounmpo, Kobe Bryant gave him the No. 8 jersey to wear, Magic, Nash, and Scott took turns to train him, everything as if he was Kobe's successor.

But Kobe Bryant is going to be selfish again......

On June 19, 2016, the day after LaVine was traded, the Lakers officially announced that Kobe Bryant chose to jump out of the final year of his contract of 22 million, chose to reduce his salary and renew his contract with the Lakers for 3 years and 30 million! The same with the right of veto on the deal!

At the same time, the Lakers officially announced that the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys will be sealed in the Lakers forever, and Kobe's new number will be decided before the start of the new season! Kobe Bryant wore both the No. 8 and No. 24 jerseys for ten years, and then played two very different careers, both great enough to retire at the same time!

And Bryant made a statement on Twitter.

"At the beginning of next season, Peter Pan and the Black Mamba have retired from the league, and only twice as old and mellow wine remains, and where it starts, it ends......"

This official announcement, Kobe Bryant's tweet, exploded all over the world.

Kobe Bryant is saying that he wants to renew his contract to play as a substitute? Did Kobe Bryant's career start off the bench with two years?

Although Kobe Bryant renewed his contract for three years, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is very likely that he will retire after two years, and the three-year contract is just to make room for the Lakers in the next two years, and the money will be bought out in the last year.

There is no doubt that Kobe's statement, in addition to playing a wave of handsomeness, is also about to come to the Lakers Thompson to play a booster: you came to the Lakers to play as a starter, and you are Liu Ren's No. 1 helper.

Now Kobe's fans are all excited, and they can watch Kobe play for another two or three years!

Maybe Kobe Bryant won't have the excellent performance of the past two or three years at the beginning of next season, he can only play on the bench, maybe he will have to compete with Nick Young for playing time, the familiar jersey is not the No. 24, or even No. 8, and may even become marginalized because the Lakers want to draft two more young players, but ...... Kobe Bryant is still in the league, and that's the best thing for the fans!
