"Is Lakers management dead?"

"Erwin, if you're still alive, take a breath and let us take a look."

"The Lakers are back! RNM: I've renewed my season tickets for next season! You're going to show me this? ”

For two months, Lakers fans were on the verge of heart attack.

George, Leonard, James, Anthony...... How many stars have they missed?

However, what they didn't expect was that Anthony's matter was still Wang Feng's demon behind his back.

Magic Johnson wants to sign Anthony in order to slightly calm the anger of Lakers fans, even if Anthony doesn't play a game next season, it doesn't matter, it's just a base salary of several million, and it is worth it to be scolded less.

But Wang Feng disagreed, and argued with reason, and actually persuaded the magician Johnson.

"After signing Anthony, what position are you going to play for him? Starter? So let Ingram play as a substitute? Or tell Jimmy, who is still in the Timberwolves. Butler, when we trade you, you're going to compete with Anthony for a job? ”

Wang Feng's question made Magic Johnson speechless, and only after half a sound did he say: "Cameron should be able to accept the identity of a substitute...... Right? ”

Wang Feng handed the phone directly to the other party. "Now call and ask him."

Then, there is no then.

Johnson called Anthony and expressed interest in him, asking if he would be interested in playing for the Lakers and if he could accept a backup role.

The sound of "Dudu" after hanging up was ringing on the other side of the phone.

Wang Feng knows better than anyone that Anthony at this stage is still in the stage where he is not completely dead.

Although his competitive form is no longer enough to support the strength of the starting team, as a superstar who was once a brilliant and 10-time All-Star, being a substitute is simply an insult to him.

In fact, in another time and space, Anthony finally chose to join the Rockets with a base salary, and promised in an interview that he was willing to play off the bench for the sake of victory.

But after the start of the new season, Anthony was really deployed as a substitute, and still existed as a set scorer.

This caused Anthony's strong dissatisfaction, coupled with the Rockets' poor start to the new season, and after only 10 games, the Rockets lost their hands on Cameron. There were discussions about Anthony's role and how the two could continue to work together for the rest of the season, and then a day later, the Rockets parted ways with Anthony and sent him to the Bulls, who cut Anthony at the speed of light after getting him.

In Wang Feng's view, although Anthony expressed his willingness to serve as a substitute when he joined the Rockets, it was just rhetoric.

At that time, the Rockets and the Warriors had seven major games in the West, and many people thought that if it weren't for Paul's accidental injury, the Rockets would have been the team that would have finally reached the Finals and won the championship.

Anthony also wants a championship, so he chose to join the Rockets with a low salary and is willing to say anything about being a substitute.

But in fact, he can't accept the fact that he has been reduced to a substitute, and he still has a certain quality, and he is not satisfied with this.

In the 2019-20 season, Anthony signed with the Trail Blazers and started 58 games, averaging 15.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.

But that's all there is to it, and then in the back, Anthony, who has accepted his fate, began to gradually accept the status of a substitute, and he could play a greater role on the bench, but that was a few years later.

In Wang Feng's view, there is no need for the Lakers to wade into this troubled water now, after Anthony comes to the Lakers, he will inevitably be dissatisfied with his positioning, causing contradictions, and the Lakers will bother to send this uncle away, isn't it okay to find trouble for himself?

Moreover, the Lakers are not short of firepower on the bench at the moment. Rose, Kuzma, Seth. Curry, Clarkson, and Nance Jr. are all good players off the bench.

The Lakers only need to focus on one thing right now, and that is to negotiate with the Timberwolves for Jimmy. Butler's deal.

……

On October 1, 2018, the preseason of the NBA2018-19 season officially began.

The Lakers' first preseason game was at home at Staples Center against the Denver Nuggets.

In the end, the Lakers lost this preseason game 107-124.

Wang Feng started the game and played about 11 minutes, scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.

The players who played more in this game were several players signed by the Lakers in the free agency market in the summer, including Rondo, Rose, McGee and others.

Among them, Rondo played 23 minutes, got 2 points, 7 rebounds and 11 assists, and showed his ability to pass and assist to the fullest.

McGee's play was also eye-catching, with 17 points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes, and was the biggest beneficiary of Rondo's 11 assists.

But that's far from satisfying Lakers fans.

After the game, at the press conference, a group of reporters finally seized the opportunity and aimed their long guns and short guns at Wang Feng.

"Mr. Wang Feng, according to rumors, LeBron. James was interested in joining the Lakers to join you, but you were unwilling to partner with LeBron, is this news true? ”

A reporter from a local media outlet in Los Angeles stood up and asked.

Hearing this, Wang Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the other party.

"You mean, if he wants to partner with me, I have to agree?"

Suddenly! It smells of gunpowder!

The eyes of the reporters couldn't help but light up!

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Next to Wang Feng, head coach Wharton hurriedly coughed twice to remind the other party not to talk nonsense.

But Wang Feng, who cares about you?

During this time, all kinds of sprays have made Wang Feng's patience reach the limit.

He wasn't a good-natured player in the first place, and when he was with the Warriors, he didn't let either Barnes or Green clash with him.

He originally wanted to deal with this matter coldly, anyway, in the regular season, the team's record is rising, Jimmy. The Butler trade came naturally, and the Lakers immediately had the strength to win the championship.

And in the playoffs, when the Lakers go all the way to kill the Rocket Warriors and Menglong and other teams to win the championship, these people will keep their mouths shut.

But these guys are arguing and arguing, it's really annoying, and Wang Feng is a little bit noisy.

What's going on? Don't squirt you, I'm a good bully, right?

"I don't think it's a matter that you disagree with, the Lakers welcome James and become a championship-level team, which is a good thing for the whole team, and it shouldn't be up to you to decide!"

"Really?" Wang Feng couldn't help laughing. "Well said, I want to ask, before I went to the Cavaliers, did James have a championship in the Cavaliers?"
