"Yes, as we all know, the LA Clippers are a competitive team, they are young but they have a lot of fighting power, they have super players, I know I'm not old myself, I believe I can still survive in this league, so I'm thinking about them, of course I'm thinking about other teams, it's not time to make a decision, I just want to relax and I'll wait until I come back to make a decision." Rasheed Wallace said in an interview before he was ready to take off for the Maldives at New York International Airport, and the brief answer undoubtedly directly confirmed his possible surname for the Clippers.

Although Rasheed Wallace is about to turn 35 years old, he can still average 12 points and 7 rebounds per game in the Detroit Pistons last season, he was a talented all-round power forward when he was young, with a balanced offensive and defensive team, outstanding tactical literacy, and an emphasis on team wins far more than personal data, and now Wallace, who has long passed his prime, can still rely on veteran experience to complete the game, and can play a good role model for young players, how can Olshu not be greedy, Scouts assessed Wallace's form long before the end of the season, so now he is determined to pursue Wallace.

"The big shark is back in Los Angeles, yes, that's the confidence I got." This short message was published by ESPN columnist Mark Brown. Brooks on Twitter.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a huge sensation, and the big shark O'Neill returned to Los Angeles?

Peter Pan Bryant reunites with Big Shark O'Neal? The Lakers, who have won the championship this season, are terrifying enough, if O'Neal is added, any team will be frightened, you must know that in the past 08-09 season in the Phoenix Suns, O'Neal started 75 games, averaged 18 points and 8 rebounds per game, and was selected to the third team of the All-Star after the season, so O'Neal seemed to have a second spring.

O'Neal joining the Lakers was the first idea of many people, but then TNT analyst Ken Brown. Bird analyzes Shaquille in his column. O'Neal can't get to join the Lakers.

"Yes, I firmly believe that Shaquille will not return to the Los Angeles Lakers, Mitch Kupchak and Bryant will definitely raise their hands against it, and Shaquille's big contract of 20 million The Lakers don't have the courage to swallow it, I promise that Mitch will not make such a choice, so I will rule out the possibility of returning to the Lakers, guys, have you forgotten the Los Angeles Clippers? They have money, potential, and status and are still in Los Angeles, maybe Shaquille will imagine himself joining the Clippers to play in the playoffs and stepping on the Lakers to advance, which may stimulate Shaquille's childlike competitiveness, I think the only difficulty is how Phoenix makes a choice, the Clippers' chips are valuable but Nell is definitely reluctant to give away valuable chips, I guess Phoenix will make a private deal with the Los Angeles Clippers and buy out O'Neal, yes, that's what I think. ”

Of course it's just Ken. Bird's own speculation, and the first to break the news of Mark. Brooks kept silent and said nothing, and O'Neal, the person involved, and the three uniform teams of the Suns, Lakers, and Clippers all denied it.

"I've never hated Shaquille, and if I could, I would welcome him back with both hands." Kobe Bryant was asked about O'Neal in an interview, but only he knows what he thinks in his heart.

"Shaquille has always been one of the strongest presences in this league, and I don't think anyone would turn him down." Mickey. Kupchik said with a smile.

"Shaquille is still one of our members, we're not going to trade him, he's already proven that he can fit into the Phoenix system, and we're still going to build the team around him, Amare and Stephen." Steve Cole has highlighted that O'Neal will not leave Phoenix.

It's already nightfall in Phoenix, but there are still lights shining through the windows above the arena at the American Airlines Center. Cole looked at the phone on the desk in front of him and thought, "What I need is a rebuild, not another big contract!" As he spoke, he put a document on the table into the shredder next to him, and listened to the sound of the shredder working. Cole has a new plan in mind!

Now O'Neal is undoubtedly a sought-after commodity, the Cavaliers and Clippers Lakers both value O'Neal's strength, and those teams undoubtedly value O'Neal's expiring big contract, more than 20 million is enough for them to occupy the initiative in the 2010 free market of the big name, if they wait another year, it is undoubtedly feasible, but the core of the team, Nash Xiaosi, can't wait, especially Xiaosi's agent has been clamoring for a transfer, if the team has not taken any real action, it is likely to lose Xiaosi next summer, It's not easy to find a good interior in this league, and in addition to worrying about next year, Kerr is more worried that Nash will leave the Suns this year, and so far Nash has not agreed to the team's contract extension conditions, and the reason is simply the team's competitiveness. Wallace is the main body, but Wallace's contract also has one year left, which is also as high as 14 million.

And the Lakers' statement obviously upset Steve Kerr. Kupchak directly asked him to use the buyout, and then the Lakers would give the Suns corresponding benefits, such as using a player who did not use it to get the Lakers' first-round pick this season or next season, provided that O'Neal agreed to join the Lakers.

"it. That's when we are what the sun is! Steve Cole scolded.

And the other teams are thundering and raining, either garbage contract exchange plans or trade proposals that think they think are good players who don't help the Suns at all, all of which make Steve. Kerr is not interested, but the Los Angeles Clippers have become his main focus, knowing that the Clippers have a lot of potential players and practical players on the roster, and he will never skimp on O'Neal to trade the Clippers' good players if he can.

"Nell, at this time we have to be willing to pay for them, we can't get this other guy, they're all staring at our players, and the latest trade offers are almost piling up all over the office." Chen Xiyan's eyes swept over a stack of papers on his desk.

"Okay, it's just that the price we paid is not small, and I will get Shaquille at the smallest price possible." Neil. Olshu said seriously.

Just when the trade market was not yet open, the 2009 draft pick was drawn, and the Clippers' original draft pick should have been the thirtieth pick, but the Clippers were sent to the Lakers in the trade of Lin Fei, and the Lakers' original first-round pick this year was sent to the Clippers in the trade of Lin Fei, and their draft pick was ranked 28th according to the record, but it was two places higher than the pick given to them by the Clippers. Something that the Lakers' uniform team led by Kupchak was far from expecting.

The Clippers don't have much hope for the 28th pick in the draft, and they don't care if they can be sent in a trade, although there have been stars after this pick, but the probability is still too little. Thorton, Zeiss. Badinger, Juan. Blair also deserves to be developed, and the rest of the rookies are out of the scouts' eyes.

The New York Knicks, who finished third from bottom in the regular season, were the No. 1 pick, and the New Yorkers cheered when they found out that they were on New York's side, and they seemed to have seen the man who led the rise of New York. The second pick was the Memphis Grizzlies, who had their worst record last season, and it is said that they have already set their sights on the next African mountain, Hashim. Thabit, and the third pick is the Oklamaho Thunder, they have obtained high picks in recent years, Kevin Durant in 07 and Jeff Green in 07 with the sixth pick, and Westbrook, the fourth pick last year, and now with a flower pick, the Thunder's rebuilding road is promising. However, these are not the main concerns of the Clippers, they are most concerned about the reinforcement of the team.

"Rashid, we are very sincere, and we hope you will consider us." Chen Xiyan and Lin Fei appeared on the beach in the Maldives together, two people, a man and a woman, the beach in the Maldives sounds like it gives people room for reverie, but unfortunately they are here to do business.

Wallace looked at the beauty in front of him in some surprise, a real beauty, "You are the assistant to the president of the Clippers?" Old? I didn't expect it to be as beautiful as it was rumored, and I'm grateful that you're here in person, and I've seen your sincerity anyway. "Rashid at the moment. Wallace couldn't see the roaring Tianzun on the court at all, "Lin, you're not a shy big boy, what do you want to say?" ”

"Rashid, what am I trying to say? Well, I want you to join us. Lin Fei looked at Wallace in front of him and said seriously.

"Is there any reason to convince me? You know, Boston and your city rivals, the Lakers, as well as Orlando and Houston, are all asking me to join, and Houston has even offered a big contract, do you have any reason to convince me to join the Clippers? Wallace looked at Lin Fei in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Why?"

"Yes, reason!"

Hearing Wallace's precise request, Lin Fei glanced at Chen Xiyan beside him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a confident arc, "There are too many reasons, I will only say one of them, first: next season we will become the most favorable contenders for the championship, and all this is based on the fact that you can provide us with more help after you join; Second: we at the Los Angeles Clippers can give you more salary; One last note: we can guarantee your appearances and starts, and you'll have plenty of minutes to prove that you don't win the championship by hugging your thighs but by trying to get it back. ”

Wallace showed a slight interest in the first two reasons, and when it came to the third, he was stunned, "Hug your thighs?" ”

He can imagine the frequency of such a term appearing on him, although he is old, he does not want to be called a thigh hugging by the media, and Lin Fei's words undoubtedly made his heart move.

Wallace was silent, thinking about his past in his mind, and after a long while, Wallace raised his head and looked at Lin Fei and Chen Xiyan, "I agree with you." ”
