Chapter 392: Preseason Opener (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

Soon, the Lakers' strong lineup attracted many veterans who wanted to win the championship, and they set their sights on the upstart Lakers led by Sun Dahei. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When the Lakers racked their brains about how to strengthen their backcourt lineup, the big pie fell directly on their heads!

First of all, even in Brewer's contract, the Lakers originally had a headache for this contract, if the trade is made, it is true that some teams are willing to get Brewer, who has one year left on his contract, to their own team, and when Brewer's contract expires, they will be able to free up eight million salary space, but the team with this purpose, they must also send a player to the Lakers, or how to free up salary space......

And like Brewer's annual salary of 8 million, the players who can match this contract, if the cost performance is high, those teams will definitely not be willing to let go, and if the cost performance is low, the Lakers will not look down on it.

And Brewer's current contract is outrageously low, even if he gets a second-round pick in the league, no one will change it, and no one will change it when the Lakers took Nick Young to change the second-round pick, not to mention that the salary is much higher than Nick Young's, and the performance is not as good as Nick Young's company commander Brewer......

And Brewer can also perceive his current embarrassing position with the Lakers, and took the initiative to discuss with the Lakers management, and the two sides directly negotiated a buyout contract!

Generally speaking, the essence of the buyout contract is "liquidated damages", which is divided into two situations, the first situation is that the team unilaterally wants to buy out the player, and the player does not agree, at this time, the team needs to pay all the contract amounts for the remaining years of the player in full if he insists on buying out the player, such as the current situation of Brewer, the Lakers need to pay the full salary of Brewer in the next season!

The most typical example is the buyout contract between the Dallas Mavericks and De Xiaopang last season, according to the contract, the Mavericks need to pay De Xiaopang's salary for the rest of the season, of course, in the end, Cuban was very generous and directly gave an extra part......

In the other case, both the team and the player agree to a buyout, in which case the team only needs to pay a part of the liquidated damages, as long as both parties negotiate a mutually acceptable price.

And now that Brewer has thought about it and realized his embarrassing situation, the Lakers can force him to buy out his contract in the second half of the season.

In the end, the Lakers agreed to pay Brewer six million in salary, and the salary contract with Brewer was terminated! This result is a win-win situation for both parties!

The Lakers saved a lot of money, and Brewer took six million in wages for nothing, and he can still find a home this offseason to re-sign a contract......

Brewer's contract is settled, which is not the biggest good news for the Lakers, they really got the pie is to sign a free agent!

Tony Allen! In the summer of 2013, he signed a four-year, $20 million contract with the Grizzlies, which expired this offseason, and became a free agent!

The Grizzlies have also approached Tony Allen, hoping to renew Tony Allen's contract, but the price they gave is really low, only a salary of five million for 2 years!

Tony Allen is now 35 years old, and the two-year five-million dollar contract given by the Grizzlies is not ridiculously low, but considering Tony Allen's qualifications, he has been selected to the All-Defensive Team three times, and five million for two years is indeed a bit low......

It's not that the Grizzlies don't want to give a bigger contract extension to Tony Allen, they really don't have salary space, after buying a monkey for more than 90 million, Vince Carter is gone this season, it is impossible for them not to consider strengthening the small forward position, and giving Tony Allen five million dollars for two years is already the limit......

When the Lakers learned that Tony Allen became a free agent, they immediately extended an olive branch to Tony Allen and gave a 3-year contract of 8 million!

It seems that this contract is not much different from the contract given by the Grizzlies, but after the Grizzlies' two-year contract ends, Tony Allen will be 37 years old, where will he find a team to join at that time, and the Lakers' three-year contract can allow Tony Allen to play until he is thirty-eight years old, play one more year in his career, and earn three million more dollars, and a fool will also calculate this account.

I have to say that the temptation given by the Lakers is still very great, and the Lakers are now changing their lineup and striving for the championship, which is very attractive for Tony Allen.

Although Tony Allen won the championship with the Green Kai Big Three in 07-08, who would dislike having more championship rings, having money to get, and having the opportunity to win the championship, Tony Allen immediately signed a three-year contract with the Lakers for eight million dollars after receiving this offer from the Lakers.

With the addition of Tony Allen, the defensive intensity of the Lakers' backcourt has increased again, and Tony Allen can also train those new melon eggs, which is definitely a great deal.

For this reason, the Lakers only need to pay a small price of eight million in three years, and the average annual cost is only about 2.6 million US dollars.

……

With the arrival of Tony Allen, a veteran, the Lakers signed another veteran, Speights from the Clippers in the same city.

Speaking of Speights, Warriors fans must know very well that in the season when the Warriors won the championship, Speights was known as "Speights" and performed very well, but after leaving the Warriors, he gradually became mediocre.

After Chris Paul left the Clippers, the Clippers also entered a period of major reconstruction, and his expired contract was not extended......

The Lakers saw the opportunity and introduced the Thighs to the Lakers with a base salary of $1.55 million a year!

Si Da Thigh can only pinch his nose and admit this contract, don't look at his old looks, in fact, he is not yet 30 years old...... Now Si Thigh is in desperate need of a chance to show himself, and if he can play with the Lakers, with his age, signing a five-year contract next season is not a problem.

At this point, the Lakers' regular season roster has been officially determined, and if you count Zubac, who was sent to the Development League, it is exactly the right fifteen! At present, the Lakers have not found a suitable target for reinforcements, so they can only release Zubac back.

The Lakers' current lineup: There are two centers in the center position, namely Sun Dahei and Zubac, these two are pure centers, and it is not suitable to play power forward.

Big forward position: Half-orc Farid, Larynans Jr., Speight, these three are called big forwards, in fact, they can also be pulled to the center position to play, so Sun Dahei doesn't have to worry that he has no substitute.

Small forward and scoring guard, these two positions have become more and more blurred, pure orthodox scoring guard has been extremely rare, since the era of the big four quarterbacks, the position has begun to blur, and the swingman has become a popular trend.

The Lakers' current roster has a frightening number of swing guards, such as Vince Carter, Nick Young, Lance Stephenson, Ingram, Josh Jackson, and new veteran Tony Allen, who is also a swingman, but his offense is worse and he can't swing......

Tzu Shiping and Thaddeus Young are both pure forward players, while Clarkson is a pure defender.

As for the orthodox point guard, there is only one Chris Paul in the current Lakers lineup, which seems to be a little insufficient, but it is harmless, like Clarkson and Tony Allen can play the role of point guard, and the impact on the team is not very great.

……

When this lineup was presented in front of Sun Dahei, Sun Dahei felt extremely satisfied, this lineup can be described as a real lineup built by himself, every transaction, every reinforcement, the Lakers uniform team will find Sun Dahei and ask Sun Dahei's opinion.

Today's Sun Dahei is no longer the first brother who has just entered the NBA league, and he can naturally see the power of this lineup.

That is, the combat power is very good, especially the defense, it is definitely the most powerful existence in the league! The potential is even higher and more terrifying, there are too many supernovas!

It can be said that this is a lineup that makes teams across the league tremble!

With such a satisfying lineup, Sun Dahei trained harder, and the management has been so powerful that he spent a lot of money to form this championship-winning lineup, Sun Dahei felt that he had to work hard, at least he could not live up to the high expectations of the Lakers management.

……

"Sun Dahei! Don't practice anymore! I don't want to see your mine dance moves again, it's really ugly, ugly! "In the training ground, if Olajuwon is not a Muslim, I am afraid that he would have scolded his mother a long time ago, he has taught countless inside players dream dance steps, although few of these inside players can learn his dream dance steps, but there has never been a player whose dance steps are as ugly as Sun Dahei......

Sun Dahei scratched his head bitterly, his movements were ugly, this was really no choice, Dahei's body lacked softness, it was too stiff, and his limb coordination was not strong, this was an old problem, otherwise the warriors would not have specially invited a Pilates trainer for Sun Dahei to improve Sun Dahei's limb coordination.

"Shaq, what do you think of my dance moves? Can it be effective in official competitions?! Sun Dahei asked O'Neill with some uncertainty......

O'Neill was stunned, forced a smile, and said to Sun Dahei seriously: "Effect? Big black you underestimate yourself too much, your dance steps, hehe, although not so beautiful, but definitely play a good effect! Isn't it a preseason in two days, you can test it on the spot, I have such an iron relationship with you, I won't lie to you......"

After saying that, O'Neill couldn't hold back any longer, turned his head and grinned silently, he was now extremely looking forward to Sun Dahei using the mine dance steps in the official competition......

What O'Neill said to Sun Dahei, there is one sentence that is true, that is, this mine dance step is indeed effective, but it is so ugly that it explodes, with O'Neill's temperament, even if the effect is good, he will definitely not use it......

At the beginning, O'Neal's free throw shooting percentage was frighteningly low, and someone suggested that he use Rick Barry's urinal free throws, but O'Neal scolded him and said that he would rather shoot as low as 30% of his free throws than use such an ugly posture to score......

O'Neill could already imagine the scene when Sun Dahei used this landmine dance step in front of tens of thousands of fans......

It's just so exciting......

……

As for Abdul-Jabbar, I don't know what he has in mind, even if Sun Dahei can hook the basketball to the audience, he also praised Sun Dahei for his good hook with a smile on his face, which made Sun Dahei feel a little frightened......

"Da Hei, it's the preseason in two days, remember, you must use the Tiangou stunt at the game site, and the two of us must let the Tiangou reappear in the rivers and lakes! Recreate the splendor of Tiangou! Abdul-Jabbar said to Sun Dahei in a serious voice during the last training.

The pre-season will be in two days, and the training will be paused for the past two days, so that Sun Dahei can recuperate and meet the first game.

Sun Dahei didn't dare to agree to Jabbar's request, he was really afraid that he would not be able to reproduce the glory of Tiangou when the time came, but would smash Abdul-Jabbar's signboard......

……

The Lakers' preseason schedule has already been out, with a total of seven games to play, and the first game is against the Warriors......

The two teams are close together and meet in preseason games all year round, with the Lakers and Warriors playing two straight games in the preseason last season.

After the big change, the Lakers made their first appearance against the defending champion Warriors last season, and the core of the Lakers is still the Warriors veteran Sun Dahei!

This game is undoubtedly very interesting, although it is only a preseason game, but the tickets have long been sold out, and countless fans have been waiting for this game to start on the bench, especially Lakers fans, they really want to see how powerful this new team with a luxurious lineup is!

There's no better litmus test than the defending champions!

In addition to the first game against the Warriors, the Lakers will play a game against the Boston Celtics in China at the Beijing Mastercard Center.

For a while, the domestic fans were even more excited, and they could see Sun Dahei wreaking havoc on the opponent's inner line, which was too tempting for them, and many domestic fans had already booked tickets and were waiting for this day to come.

You can see Sun Dahei's figure, and you can see the legendary yellow-green battle, the tickets are absolutely worth it!

On October 2, the much-anticipated Lakers' home game against the defending champion Golden State Warriors officially started!

Sun Dahei played for the first time as the absolute core of the team, what kind of performance will he play?!

Against the old club Golden State Warriors, will Sun Dahei show mercy?!

After the warriors lost Sun Dahei, what is their strength now? Is it still the same as last season, unstoppable?!
