"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." Rashid Wallace said in an interview before he was ready to take off for a holiday in the Maldives at New York International Airport, and the short answer was no doubt a direct proof of his possibility of heading to 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 offense and defense, outstanding team awareness, high tactical literacy, and the importance of team victory is far greater than the importance of personal data, and now Wallace, who has long passed his prime, can still complete the game with veteran experience, 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.

"Big sharks come back to Los Angeles, yes, that's the information I got." The short message appeared on Twitter by ESPN columnist Mark Brooks.

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 thought of many people, but then TNT analyst Ken Bird analyzed in his column that Shaquille O'Neal could not 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, 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, this is just Ken Bird's own speculation, and Mark Bird, who first broke the news. 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." Mitch Kupczyk 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.

With the lights still shining through the windows above the arena at the American Airlines Center, Steve 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, and Steve Cole had a new plan in his heart!

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 an excellent interior in this league, and in addition to worrying about next year, Kerr is more worried that Nash will leave the Suns this year, so far Nash has not agreed to the team's contract extension conditions, the reason is simply the team's competitiveness, the Cavaliers' trade proposal is Ben Wallace as the main body, but Wallace's contract also has one year left, and it is also as high as 14 million.

And the Lakers' statement obviously made Steve Kerr very unhappy, Mitch Kupchak directly asked him to use the buyout, and then the Lakers will give the Suns corresponding benefits, such as using a player who does not use it to get the Lakers' first-round pick this season or next season, and Kupchak will only agree to do so if O'Neal agrees to join the Lakers.

"Go to ****** when we are what the sun is!" Trying to hit here, Steve Cole let out a low scolding.

And the other teams are thundering and raining, either the garbage contract exchange plan or the trade proposal that thinks he thinks is a good player is actually not helpful to the Suns at all, which makes Steve Kerr his interest a lot, but the Los Angeles Clippers have become the object of his most attention, you must know that the Clippers roster has a lot of potential players and practical players, if he can, he will never be stingy with O'Neal to exchange the Clippers' good players.

"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." Fang Kaiyan's eyes swept over a stack of papers on the desk.

"Okay, it's just that the price we paid is not small, and I will get Shaquille at the smallest price possible." Nell 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 in the thirtieth pick, but the Clippers were sent to the Lakers in the trade of Gu Fei, and the Lakers' original first-round pick this year was sent to the Clippers in the trade of Gu 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. Obviously, this is something that the Lakers uniform team led by Mitch Kupchak was far from expecting at the beginning.

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, and this year's inspection is to predict that the pick is in the middle of the second round, Marcus Thornton, Zeiss Battinger, and Juan Blair are still worth choosing to cultivate, and the rest of the rookies are not in the eyes of scouts.

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 is the Memphis Grizzlies, who had the worst record last season, and it is said that they have already set their sights on the next African mountain Hassim Thabitt, and the third pick is the Oklamaho Thunder, they have obtained high picks in a row in recent years, Kevin Durant was selected in 07 and Jeff Green was selected with the sixth pick in 07, and Westbrook, the hot boy selected with the fourth pick last year. 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." Fang Kaiyan and Gu Fei appeared on the beach in the Maldives together, two people, a man and a woman, the beach in the Maldives sounds like a space 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?" House? 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. At this moment, Rashid Wallace couldn't see the roaring Tianzun on the court at all, "Gu, 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. Gu 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 Gu Fei in front of him and asked with a smile.

"Why?"

"Yes, reason!"

Hearing Wallace's precise request, Gu Fei glanced at Fang Kaiyan beside him, and the corners of his mouth hooked a confident arc, "There are too many reasons, I will only say one of them, first: next season we will be 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 hugger by the media, and Gu Fei's words undoubtedly made his heart move.

Wallace was silent, thinking about his past in his mind, and after a while, Wallace raised his head and looked at Gu Fei and Fang Kaiyan, "I agree with you." (To be continued.) )
