Han Ning pondered for a long time.

These two players are not very important for the Knicks, though.

But also an indispensable member.

At the small forward position, the Knicks are now left with Kyle Korver alone.

And Kyle Korver is also a player with very obvious characteristics.

Obvious characteristics mean that there are obvious shortcomings.

If you come up against a physically strong player, Kyle Korver is at a disadvantage.

Therefore, in the position of small forward, it is necessary to strengthen it.

On the contrary, on the guard line, the Knicks can still choose more players, and they are not so short of people.

Therefore, Han Ning's first task now is to find a substitute player for the Knicks at the small forward position.

And the characteristics of this player are preferably players with strong physical fitness and certain attainments in defense.

He may not be needed to score.

But the defensive ability must be there!

Thinking of this, Han Ning couldn't help but start to miss Battier.

It's a pity that the current Battier is no longer something he can covet.

Let's not talk about how much the Knicks would have to pay to trade Battier.

Even the league wouldn't necessarily want to see another star of this caliber join the Knicks.

Business alliances.

You have to make sure the game is good-looking.

If there is only one team that is better than all the others, then the league is not interesting.

Besides.

With Battier's strength, it's impossible to play off the bench when he joins the Knicks.

But as a result, the Knicks don't have as much outside firepower in the starting lineup.

In other words, Battier doesn't fit well with the Knicks' starting lineup.

Han Ning pondered for a long time, then picked up the phone and dialed out.

"Give me a list of free agents for this year."

Soon, an email was sent to his mailbox.

With the current lineup of the Knicks, Han Ning doesn't want to take the players in the lineup out for trading.

If you trade purely for cash, you may not be able to trade any useful players.

It's better to take a look at the free agent list.

Click on the email.

The name of the first player that catches your eye.

Kobe Bryant.

Han Ning couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Kobe Bryant is indeed a contract year this year.

But it has nothing to do with him and the Knicks.

There's no way the Lakers will let him go.

The Knicks don't have a place for him either.

Look all the way down.

Looking at the information of one player after another, Han Ning slowly frowned.

"Jingle bell!"

Suddenly, a bell rang.

Han Ning picked up the phone.

After a while, Han Ning's brows furrowed even more.

The contents of this call are simple.

But it made Han Ning upset.

In the end, he still underestimated the methods of other teams.

Among his players, there are already people who can't resist the temptation to leave.

Zach Randolph.

In fact, this is also the expected result.

Han Ning was mentally prepared for this.

After all, Zach Randolph's strength is very strong.

Playing off the bench with the Knicks is really overkill.

Besides, this bad boy has already won a championship with the Knicks.

It's time to be in high spirits.

He also knows very well that he can't play as a starter on the Knicks.

Da Yao, he definitely can't fight.

And Kurt Thomas is also a veteran of the Knicks.

The status in the dressing room is also extremely high.

The most critical thing is that if Zach Randolph replaces Kurt Thomas, he will have to take on the responsibility of a blue-collar interior player and make a wedding dress for Da Yao.

It's certainly not something Zach Randolph is willing to accept.

So, when there are other teams willing to come up with enough chips to tempt him.

Zach Randolph wants to leave, and it's not something incomprehensible.

And the team that wants Zach Randolph is also unexpected by Han Ning.

Los Angeles Lakers!

Although it is not yet known what kind of chips the Los Angeles Lakers want to use in exchange for Zach Randolph.

But predictably.

Between O'Neal and Karl Malone, someone must be leaving the Lakers.

Even, it is possible that both of them are leaving the Lakers.

The F4 group's failure to win the championship has put the countdown to the group's existence.

For Zach Randolph, Han Ning didn't think about how long he could stay to play.

And that phone call just now is enough to show that an agreement has been reached between Zach Randolph and the Lakers.

This kind of early contact with players is also a common thing in the NBA.

Since it can't be kept.

Then you might as well sell it for a good price!

If he's not mistaken.

The 10th pick in this year's first-round draft is still in the hands of the Lakers.

There are also a lot of very good players in this year's draft.

In the original historical process, the Lakers used this signing to sign Andrew Bynum.

In the future, Andrew Bynum will be on the All-Star list.

He has great physical fitness, can grab rebounds, and is good at blocking.

There are not many disadvantages other than lack of experience and youthful vigor.

However, this also means that Andrew Bynum cannot be an instant player.

Even in the bench lineup, it can't make up for the shortcomings that have arisen since Zach Randolph's departure.

None of this is a problem, though.

What Han Ning wants is just this signing!

It took a long time from the stack of quotations that he had put aside before.

Finally turned over the Lakers' offer for Zach Randolph.

The 10th pick in the 2005 first-round draft plus Karl Malone and some cash in exchange for Zach Randolph.

Han Ning: ???

Can this TM be a little more shameless?!

When he didn't know that Carl Malone was going to retire?!

Take such a quote to quote Zach Randolph?!

How stupid would I be to say yes!

Besides.

Carl Malone?!

What does Lao Tzu want him to do?!

Do you want him to hook up with the wives of the Knicks players?!

Look at this quote.

Han Ning became more and more angry the more he looked at it.

Picked up the phone and dialed the number, and roared.

"Mitch Kupchak! If you really want Zach Randolph, come up with a quote that you can read! Don't tm take this kind of quotation out of disgusting people! Bah! ”

Mitch Kupchak on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment after hearing Han Ning's roar.

Then his face turned blue.

Indeed, the offer he made to the Knicks was to test it.

But being pointed out and scolded by Han Ning so directly, his face was obviously not good-looking.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, it was he and the Lakers who wanted Zach Randolph, so he made the offer.

It's not that the Knicks are actively trying to sell Zach Randolph.

He really had to swallow this breath by himself.

Then resend a quotation in the past.
