"Whether you admit it or not, you can't play the way you did with the Magic, and other teams won't give you the same treatment you did with the Magic," Howard couldn't argue.

Coming to Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant is the core of the Lakers, even if he was the league's No. 1 center at the time, as for the Rockets, if the Rockets really regarded Howard as the core, then he would not be the current situation.

Moreover, Howard doesn't admit it, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart that he is no longer at his peak, and he is no longer the No. 1 center in the league he once was.

"Dwight, I sincerely invite you to the Lakers, invite you to come to the Lakers to help me, and invite you to attack the championship together" Li Hao sent out an invitation for the third time.

"Champion? God, Lee, you know, the Lakers haven't made the playoffs for several seasons" Howard looked at Li Hao speechlessly.

"If you're willing to come to the Lakers, I'm with you, don't you think the team can't make the playoffs?" This Howard will not refute, because to refute is to deny himself.

"Besides, the Lakers didn't just bring in one player," Li Hao continued.

"Who else are the Lakers going to bring in?" Howard wondered.

"Secret, but I can assure you, it's an All-Star caliber player," Li Hao said.

"You didn't lie to me?" Howard was a little moved.

Li Hao's strength has been recognized by the entire league, and Howard is also very confident in himself, if you add an All-Star level player, it is a proper Big Three.

"If I were going to lie to you, I wouldn't have said those things at the beginning, I'll coax you, wouldn't it be good to trick you into signing a contract? And I can tell that the probability of us signing him is very high" Li Hao thinks that signing Wade is far easier than Howard, and getting lack is respect, and Li Hao and the Lakers will give him enough respect.

"I'd rather you coax me," Howard whispered inwardly.

"But that's a big premise, you have to make changes," Li Hao said next.

Hearing this, Howard hesitated again.

In fact, Howard is not to blame, because he has been trained by the Magic as the core since he entered the league, and later he did become the core of the Magic and became the league's No. 1 center.

"Dwight, let me say one last thing, do you want to seize the pinnacle of your career and fight for a championship for the tail, or do you want to waste a few more years and finally take a veteran's base salary to a team that has the potential to win a championship?"

This meal Howard was quite unpleasant, and even Howard was a little absent-minded when they finally parted.

"What if Howard refuses?" On the way home, Bryant couldn't help but ask.

"That's just for Mitch to carry out Plan B," Li Hao said.

"What Plan B?" Bryant wondered.

"You should know that Mitch has always been a fan of the Kings center" Kobe Bryant certainly knew that the president and general manager had been trying to bring in Cousins.

"I don't think Plan B is reliable," Kobe Bryant immediately shook his head.

Because Kobe Bryant knows very well that with Cousins' current value, the price the Lakers will pay to bring him back to Los Angeles must be very large, and it is even likely to hollow out the Lakers.

Li Hao and Kobe Bryant went home while chatting, and when they returned to the hotel on the other side, Howard immediately dialed his agent and called.

"Dwight, do you want to hear the truth?" After listening to Howard's exclusivity, the agent on the other end of the phone muttered for a long time and then spoke.

Howard's agent at the beginning was Dan Fagan, and Chinese fans should be familiar with this agent, because he is also Yi Jianlian's agent in the United States.

However, Howard terminated his contract with Dan Fagan in February this year, and then signed a contract with Perry Rodgers, who is only well-known in the agent circle, O'Neal is a player under Perry Rodgers, and the two are still in a relationship even after retiring.

"Come on, Perry, I want to hear the truth," Howard said.

"It's inevitable that a player will have to change at a certain age, and he's here now

At this point in time," Perry Rogers said.

"I dare say that the teams that are interested in you at the moment, they are nice, but they definitely don't really have you at the core," Rodgers continued.

"That Perry, is the Lakers really a good choice?" Howard still seems a little reluctant.

"If what Lee said is true, then the Lakers are indeed a very good choice, Dwight, the championship is very important to the evaluation of a player" In Perry Rodgers' view, the Lakers with Li Hao already have a basic plate there, if there are really All-Star level players plus Howard, then the Lakers next season are really worth looking forward to.

"One more thing, Dwight, Lee is a Chinese player, and your current sneaker contract is from China" In '14, Howard signed a four-year contract with Peak.

"Yao" Howard immediately thought of Yao Ming, and Yao Ming effect blocked out of being very famous in the NBA.

"Yes, if you do join the Lakers, then your off-court business value will be greatly enhanced" Well, Howard's heart was further relaxed when he heard this.

No one doesn't like money, and even more so Howard.

"Perry, I need to think about it" Although the balance in Howard's heart has tilted, he is still unwilling to face reality for a while.

"Well, you think about it, no matter what you decide, I'll be there for you," Rogers said.

The next day, Li Hao had a phone call with Kupchak and told him about his meeting with Howard.

"Then wait and see, and hopefully get a satisfactory answer," Kupchak said.

"By the way, Lee, you can come over to my side tomorrow," Kupchak changed the subject.

"Is there something going on?" Li Hao asked.

"That's right, the team's new head coach has been decided, and I want you to meet" The Lakers fired Scott immediately after the season.

"Okay, I'll go there at noon tomorrow" In fact, the media in Los Angeles reported a lot about the Lakers head coach, but Li Hao didn't pay attention to it.

Besides, Li Hao already knew who it was: "Can you tell me who it is?"

"Luke Wharton" Li Hao's butterfly wings did not change the choice of the Lakers' new head coach.

"See you tomorrow, Mitch" Although Luke Wharton is not the best choice, for the current Li Hao and the Lakers, Luke Wharton is actually a pretty good choice.

Luke Wharton studied under Kerr, Kerr's tactics in the Warriors are to take Curry as the core, and Li Hao can do what Curry can do, and Li Hao can do what Curry can't.

Take a dunk, for example.
