"Stephen, what do you think of this place? You stay here first, I'll ask the staff to change you to a better place later"

In a high-end apartment in downtown Los Angeles, Zhuang Fei looked around the apartment, this is the apartment prepared by Stephen Jackson in advance of the Los Angeles Lakers, in fact, the two assistant coaches of the Los Angeles Lakers also live here, this is a single apartment, Zhuang Fei's two assistant coaches have no problem at all because their families did not come to Los Angeles, and for NBA players like Jackson, such a single apartment is actually a problem.

Of course, although Jackson is not a first-tier star or a second-tier star in the league now, and he is not even qualified as a star, but as Zhuang Fei's henchman, this is recognized as one of the best role players in the United States, and now he is not comparable to a bunch of third-rate stars with four championship rings, at least in the league or in the status of any team, it belongs to the locker room leader, such a player If he insists on leaving, If it weren't for the Celtics to release his salary space of more than 7 million to sign a superstar, it would be impossible for him to be let go by the Celtics, and naturally it would be impossible for him to be selected by Jordan's Bobcats, if it wasn't for the agreement with Zhuang Fei, Jordan was really unwilling to let this player go.

It's just that Jordan also knows that Jackson doesn't plan to play for the Bobcats at all, just like the Fisher in Zhuang Fei's previous life was unwilling to go to the Rockets, he was traded to the Rockets and didn't go to the team to report, there was no way for the Rockets to terminate the contract, how could such a leader-level role player go to a garbage team, so after the Bobcats selected Jackson, the Celtics' first-guard player also didn't report to the Bobcats at all and stayed in Boston, until finally the official websites of the Lakers and Bobcats announced that Jackson and Payton swapped owners. The well-known confidant of Zhuang Fei left for Los Angeles from Boston, and of course, for Jordan. Zhuang Fei did not break his promise or use him as a robber, and Peyton's role for the Bobcats is indeed no worse than that of Jackson, which can be regarded as an equivalent exchange. And now after Jackson came to Los Angeles from Boston early in the morning, Zhuang Fei also personally took his confidant disciple to see the house, knowing that his two assistants Green and Xibodu did not have such treatment.

"Coach, this is very good, don't be too troublesome" It's good for Jackson to be able to follow Zhuang Fei all the time. Now many people say that he has the ability to be the boss of some garbage teams, and has the ability to play 20+5 or even 20+5+5 data, but for him, these are not important, he has always been very confident in his ability, just like when he was able to be on par with Kobe, but when he was down, where were all these people who chose to praise him?

He knows very well what he wants, he just needs to follow Zhuang Fei to do everything that Zhuang Fei asks him to do, and if Zhuang Fei wants him to defend, he will defend. Zhuang Fei wants him to attack, he will attack, Zhuang Fei wants him to pass the ball, Zhuang Fei wants him to substitute, he will substitute, following Zhuang Fei in the past six years, he has never disappointed Zhuang Fei in any of the six years. And this also shows his comprehensiveness, and Zhuang Fei has never let him down, nor has he ever treated him badly, whether it is in the contract or the status of the team. So this is also the reason why he is willing to follow Zhuang Fei all the time.

He is a very grateful person, and this kind of person is very rare in the NBA, not just in the NBA. There are not many in the world, so Zhuang Fei is extremely fortunate and cherished to be able to meet such a player in his career, this is an indispensable lubricant player at all times, so whether it is in the Timberwolves or the Celtics, even the team's bosses Garnett and Maddy dare not take this all-round swingman What to do.

And what makes Zhuang Fei even more satisfied is that although his private life is still chaotic, he knows when to be chaotic and when to be rigorous, for example, this time, he came to Los Angeles alone, and his girlfriend was thrown by him, obviously, he knows that Zhuang Fei's current situation is not very good, he really came here to play with all his might, and this is also the reason why he refused Zhuang Fei to find him a luxury apartment, because he knows that this time is not the time to gather fox friends to go out and play, at least not this year, At this point, he's a lot better than a lot of black NBA players who also like to go clubbing. So after seeing that his disciple rejected his suggestion, Zhuang Fei also nodded with satisfaction, this is the most perfect role player under him.

Jackson's arrival made Zhuang Fei very happy, so he also deliberately left the team to look at the house for him, and the other player in the transaction, Mo Williams, was still in Charlotte at this time, Zhuang Fei did not say to the young guard that he would take him with him when he left Boston, and he did not think that Zhuang Fei would look at him, in fact, the Boston Celtics did not intend to keep him, in this case, he naturally could not stay in Boston like Jackson and wait for Zhuang Fei's call, and he did not have that status.

So after being selected by the Bobcats, he and his teammates Haslem, Chris Anderson and Kirilenko went directly to the Bobcats to report, and now they have settled in Charlotte, so for this guard, he still needs to report to the Lakers after Charlotte has cleaned up, so Zhuang Fei didn't have any arrangements for him at this time, and after arranging Jackson, when Zhuang Fei returned to the team, he received a news that made Zhuang Fei a little surprised. Because the head coach of the Boston Celtics was born, not only the new head coach of the Boston Celtics was born, but the former head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, also found a new club.

As soon as Zhuang Fei returned to his office and then turned on the computer, he learned several very explosive news, the Boston Celtics announced that he had signed a 2-year contract with Larry Brown, the assistant of the American team this year, and the salary of the contract was $8 million per year, which is also the new team head coach ushered in by the Boston Celtics after losing Zhuang Fei, and this head coach is also Zhuang Fei's good friend, the head coach of the former 76ers, and the NCAA championship coach and one of the most prestigious coaches in the NBA. Clearly, in Adelson's view, there aren't many managers who can keep the Boston Celtics locker room in the locker room strong enough.

And the former 76ers head coach is definitely one of them, almost at the same time that the Boston Celtics announced that Larry Brown was in charge of the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks also announced that the team signed the former Lakers head coach on a three-year contract, and the annual salary is 3 years and 30 million US dollars, Phil Jackson also became the second NBA head coach with an annual salary of tens of millions after Zhuang Fei, and at the same time, the Western powerhouse Mavericks also announced that the team's head coach Nelson Sr. and the team terminated his contract. This team also issued a coach selection announcement to the outside world.

"It's really a great day" Zhuang Fei looked at the news on his computer and sighed and said, old Nelson left the Mavericks, this is what Zhuang Fei can guess, because yesterday Novitzki appeared in the bargaining chips to trade O'Neal, if the old Nelson is still the head coach of the Mavericks, he will not shoot Nowitzki, it is obvious that this is the Mavericks owner Cuban did it, and the Mavericks boss must be dissatisfied with the sixth place in the Mavericks in the West last season. In this case, the departure of Nelson Sr. is not something that cannot be guessed, but the Mavericks were released today, and it was also very surprising for the Boston Celtics to ask Larry Brown to coach Zhuang Fei, but after a little thought, it was relieved.

There are not many head coaches who can have the ability to take over the Celtics now, Larry Brown and Phil Jackson are the most qualified, Phil Jackson just lost to the Celtics in the Finals this year, and the Celtics have players who will inevitably have contemptuous thoughts about him, although he can keep the Celtics from changing too much on the offensive end. But it's hard to say whether he can stabilize the Celtics locker room, and although Larry Brown doesn't play triangle offense on the offensive end, the Celtics were not only strong on offense last season, but also extremely strong defensively, although they can't inherit the Celtics' offense. But his defense can even make Celtic better, and in this case, he is indeed the best manager for Celtic at the moment, of course. If the Celtics can find a head coach who is proficient in both offense and defense, it's fine, but one such head coach is in the Spurs and the other is in the Lakers. Also surprised Zhuang Fei was that Phil Jackson accepted the Knicks' invitation, you know. Zhuang Fei knows that his old opponent is a typical weak team, obviously at this time, although New York is not weak, but there are many internal contradictions than the Lakers, this guy will jump into the fire pit like this?

And just when Zhuang Fei was thinking about the news of the three head coaches, the team's general manager Kupchak came in, and as soon as he came in, he brought Zhuang Fei a trade offer.

"Zhuang, the Kings want to be able to trade McBibby for our team's No. 3 pick, I think this deal is very good, now I want to hear your opinion" just received a new trade offer, not about O'Neal, who has been extremely hot recently, but about the No. 3 pick in hand, for Kupchak, this year's rookie can have superstar potential is not a lot of people, the strongest three are Okafor, Howard and Paul, and Okafor and Howard are definitely able to enter the top two, Because for both the Bucks with the top pick and the Nuggets with the top pick, they lack a center.

In this case, these two centers with star potential are impossible to miss, although the temptation of point guards is also great for the current NBA, but it is clear that it is still in the interior era of the draft, it is not very likely that Paul wants to beat the first two centers, and at this time the best choice for the Lakers is Paul, Paul is also considered to be one of the few players with star potential this year, but if the Lakers can only get Paul, then why not McBibby who has become a star? Although he was a substitute last season due to the arrival of Byron Davis, he is definitely the league's top point guard.

Even if he plays as a substitute, he can contribute an average of 13 points and 5 assists per game, which is an instant combat force, Bibby is more suitable for the current Lakers and Zhuang Fei than to cultivate Paul, you know, Zhuang Fei has that gamble, he doesn't have much time to cultivate newcomers. In this case, he would naturally approve of such a deal. Of course, although he agrees with it, it doesn't mean that he can decide, and now all the power is here in Zhuang Fei.

"The king is going to trade Bibi now?" Zhuang Fei was also a little surprised when he heard Kupchak's words, because in Zhuang Fei's impression, the three names of Bibi, Weber, and Peja were synonymous with the peak king in his previous life, and last season Peja and Webber had a conflict and were sent to the Hornets in exchange for Byron Davis, and now Bibby must leave because of Byron Davis, it can be said that the peak king trio is only Webber left at this time.

"Yes, now the Kings are peddled Bibby around, and they are now discussing with the Rockets about Webb trading for Brandon Miller, but the Rockets now want to be able to trade Miller for Shaq, so this deal has been frozen" Kupchak thought Zhuang Fei didn't believe it, so he explained. It's just that at this time, Zhuang Fei was stunned again after hearing that the king was going to trade Weber. It's just that after being stunned for a moment, under Kupchak's doubts, Zhuang Fei also shook his head with a wry smile.

"Still can't get Webber" In the end, the Lakers head coach also muttered to himself, and Kupchak on the side was also puzzled again, now it's a matter of trading Bibby, and it has nothing to do with Webb, right? But soon, the Chinese in front of him also made a decision that disappointed him.

"Bibi for the third sign? This is impossible, refuse" Zhuang Fei also adjusted his emotions at this time and said to Kupchak, and Kupchak wanted to say something more after getting Zhuang Fei's answer, but finally saw Zhuang Fei's firm expression and shook his head helplessly, and was also about to leave Zhuang Fei's office, and just when he turned around, he seemed to remember something, and immediately turned around again.

"Zhuang, Van Exel's is back, he said that he hopes to sign with the team first and then go to New York, New York is now frozen salary space and there is no way to accept him" Kupchak looked at Zhuang Fei with some worry after finishing speaking, obviously, Van Exel's behavior can make anyone unhappy, you were missing when the team wanted you, and now you ran back to ask the team for help, and Kupchak guessed right, Zhuang Fei's face did change after listening to it, but to Kupchak's surprise, soon, the Lakers head coach's face showed ecstasy. And he shouted out a sentence that made him extremely puzzled.

"The plan to trade Shaq is here" (to be continued.) )
