ESPN analysis Mitch Kupchak has always had a gap with Kobe Bryant, it is said that there is currently a consortium behind the Lakers to reach an agreement to support super rookie Lin to replace Kobe Bryant, and then will make up to hundreds of millions of dollars in sponsorship fees for the Lakers, which makes Kupchak and Jerebus Bas tempted, they plan to trade Kobe Bryant to rebuild the Lakers, compared to Lin Fei's age and salary Kobe Bryant's are at a disadvantage, and it impresses the Lakers uniform team even more. The Wizards are in talks with the Lakers in exchange for Arenas plus leading small forwards Butler and Kobe Bryant.

The report of this news made Lin Fei fall into criticism, and Lakers fans even played the slogan of letting Lin Fei get out.

Just as the mid-07-08 trade deadline was about to close, rumors in the transfer trade market intensified.

"How is it possible, are I going to lie to you if you have been in the alliance for so many years?" Kupchak said with a sincere face.

"Mitch, I don't want to go around so many corners with you, where is the helper you promised me? I don't want to just hear the official word! After saying that, Bryant turned around and left Kupchak's office.

"Well, let's take another look at the recent hot trade rumors around the league, where the Cavaliers join the ranks of Gasol to get started. A trade for Bears Pau Gasol will undoubtedly be something that is set to happen in the middle of the season. However, the Grizzlies are interested in Vallejo, who can only be traded this summer according to league rules, so it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to come up with a satisfying trade chip, so it seems that the most competitive Bulls can meet Gasol at any time. ”

"Los Angeles reached an agreement at the owners' meeting today, the Clippers will officially sell the mysterious owner for $310 million, and the rumored Lakers, Clippers, Knicks, three-way deal basically failed!"

Erin Andrews packed up his things and started leaving work while Grizzlies general manager Wallace was considering several trade proposals on the table. The Bulls fired Coach Skids before Christmas, and John Paxson wants the Grizzlies to give him Gasol while helping him eat Big Ben Wallace's contract.

Looking at the trade proposal on the table, he thought again, "I want to rebuild, what I need is Zhengtai, what I need is draft picks!" "Ended up throwing the deal proposal into the paper basket!

His Gasol is a sought-after item, and Wallace shook his head as he looked at the many trade options on his desk, none of which would have made it difficult for Memphis to ease the salary pressure, and he didn't have too many draft picks, which made him uninterested. Wallace is now most concerned about Mitch Kupchak's proposal.

Glancing at the Lakers' lineup and the expiring contract of Kwame Brown, the two signing rights, and the draft picks made Wallace not interested, and when he saw Lin Fei's name when his eyes lit up, a smile of relief flashed on the corner of his mouth.

On January 30, 2008, Kupchak gave his own proposal, the expiring contract of parallel top Kwame Brown + the signing rights of the Bears' younger brother Marc Gasol + two future first-round picks in exchange for their hard-hearted departure of the Bears Gasol.

“[***]！ This is a complete robbery! Wallace slapped his desk and dialed Kupchak's phone.

"Mickey, my old friend! I can't agree to your offer, you know, Memphis loves Rookie Grove! Of course, if you let Kobe Bryant come, I think I would be more welcome! Wallace said with a smile.

Kupchak's face on the other end of the phone instantly lengthened, and then he said in a friendly voice: "My friend, I'm not unwilling, but from the perspective of long-lasting friendship, I can't guarantee that Lin will promise to renew his contract with Memphis after the season, if you need a rookie Lin for half a season, I think I will be very happy, you must know that Mark is Paul's younger brother, and his strength I understand!" Kupchak deceived Wallace on the other end of the phone.

"If I jump out of my contract and leave after half a season, am I not a 100% fool?" Wallace pondered, "Mitch, if you can get Lin to sign first, I think I'll be happy to hand Paul over to you!" ”

Miles Haesley smiled and said to reporters: "No, no, Paul is our leader, and we will not agree to any offer!" The future of Memphis needs to rely on Paul! ”

Kupchak: "Lin will reach a contract extension with us and will only be in Los Angeles until the end of the season!" Of course, Bryant is a symbol of the Lakers, and they will always have a beautiful friendship between them. Phil is happy with the squad we have

And grades! ”

"Let the wind go, we need to maximize profits, we are not stupid!" Grizzly owner Hasley crushed a cigar and said to Wallace: "There's really no way to find the best partnership, we need to rebuild!" ”

"Vanessa, Kupchak told me that Pau Gasol will come!" Kobe Bryant sat on the couch and put his arms around his wife Vanessa and said.

"Honey, that's not great!" Vanessa gently kisses her husband's forehead.

"Yes, that's good!" Bryant's eyes were a little more complicated.

"Oops Mickey, the stingy Chicagoans have come up with the latest offer, damn Chicagoans!" The assistant hurriedly broke into Kupchek's office and said.

"They traded Ben Gordon and Tyron Thomas for Gasol, Ben Gordon is in a contract year, this convulsive will open his mouth after the season, the Grizzlies will abandon him, but Tyron Thomas, he's a very talented young man, he's an all-around machine! But this is just Paxson's latest plan, and he's likely to give the Grizzlies something even more tempting, so we'll have to speed it up! ”

"Don't worry man, what's Wallace's attitude? Still keep asking Lin, damn it, if we can get him to reach a contract extension, we won't agree to a deal unless our heads are collectively kicked by a donkey! Kupchak tapped on his desk.

"Yes, they need Lin, but we still have a way, we still have the signing rights of that Chinese defender Sun and the contract of Turiaf, a Chinese can bring him a market!"

Kupchak frowned, "We're going to have a good discussion!" ”

"Lin, they're still trying to get you to renew your contract! Recently, Mitch and Memphis have been in frequent contact, although you will basically not be sold once you renew your contract, but this is a business alliance! But there's one news for you, the Clippers coach and Mr. General Manager are looking for a chance to talk to you, and maybe they're still hungry for you! ”

Lin Fei hung up the phone and opened the notebook, all of them were disturbing transaction messages, his brows were furrowed, and at this time, the phone rang, and seeing the name displayed on it, Lin Fei smiled.
