On September 25, 2009, a week before the start of preseason training camp for the new season, the Los Angeles Clippers' 15-man roster was still one person away.

Generally speaking, before the start of the regular season, the team will open a preseason training camp with 17-20 people, and determine the final 15 players through the final polishing of the preseason.

The Clippers are good, let alone 17-20 people, they don't even have 15 players, and if they don't have enough people, they won't be able to play in the new season.

At the Los Angeles Clippers' headquarters in Stamps, in the general manager's office, Min Congda is sitting on the sofa facing the huge electronic LCD screen, playing games!

After returning from Las Vegas, Min Congda discovered a good thing to kill time and improve his basketball knowledge at the same time, the 2K basketball game.

2K10, Dynasty Mode, Los Angeles Clippers, after two months of his unremitting hard work, has been at the bottom for I don't know how many seasons in a row.

The dynastic model was completed by him in the uprising mode, and the uprising has always been unsuccessful, suppressed all the time, and it is difficult to enter the playoffs.

Min Congda is very satisfied with this result, after a long time of simulation, he has a preliminary understanding of the level and strength of the league's stars, and the ability value is a good thing.

Kobe Bryant 97, James 96, the two highest-ranked players are naturally the face of the league, and such players must not appear on their own teams.

Wade and Paul, who scored more than 90 points, are the elite of the guard line, and they should stay away when they are playing.

Players with 80 points can be traded, such as Barang Davis at 82, and a group of players in their 70s or even 60s will be replaced.

Griffin has a rating of 77 in the game, and Curry has 69, which makes Min Congda very unhappy that Curry is so high.

In terms of the collocation of the lineup, reduce the big players and increase the small players, what guards and forwards come a bunch, and the big forwards and centers are few.

Because those who win the inside line win the world, the Lakers are three high, Gasol, Bynum, and Odom are the key to their championship, and the whole league is pressed and beaten.

Min Congda is not high if he can, and at the same time, a cancer player like Randolph has to stay in the team, with strong offense and poor defense, losing rebounds every game, and the team's winning rate is a mess.

After the bottom of the league again, Min Congda was very satisfied with his operation, and in the future, he will build the team according to this idea, trade all the players with high ability value if the system allows, and exchange them for all kinds of small players, leaving Curry, Randolph, Jordan Jr. and other old and weak and sick and disabled, why worry about not succeeding in the big business!

Min Congda was having a good time, there was a knock on the door, Ida came in, and said: "Mr. Smart, Olshea said, there is still a week before the start of pre-season training camp, and if we don't sign the 15th player, the new season will be ......"

Before Ida finished speaking, Olsie broke into the office directly, and seeing Min Congda sitting comfortably on the sofa playing games, he was angry and said angrily: "Smart! We didn't do anything all summer, so why can't we sign even the last man when the new season is about to start? Is it really going to make the team unable to play? ”

Min Congda thought to himself that it would be good if the team could really not play in the new season, but unfortunately the system would not allow this kind of operation.

During this time, he has been delaying player signing and trading, to put it bluntly, in order to delay time, so that other teams can pick out all the players that are easy to use in the market, so what is left is not leftovers?

Min Congda originally wanted to pick a player with the worst level from the summer league roster to sign, but unfortunately the system forbade him to make such an obviously unreasonable signing, otherwise he would sign the Mexican uncle who swept the team, wouldn't the team lose a lot of money and make it worse?

Signing and trading must be reasonable, but at the same time, it can not enhance the strength of the team, so Min Congda thought of this procrastination trick, let other teams help pick up the good ones, and choose another one among the remaining garbage heaps, which is perfect.

Seeing Olshe's anxious look, Min Congda got up from the sofa and said: "There is a saying in China, you can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry, and a premature decision is not necessarily a good decision. ”

Olsie was so angry that he wanted to laugh, the last person in the list should be carefully selected, the last person is basically here to make up the numbers, a base salary or a ten-day short contract, do you still expect to play any good performance?

However, even if the level of players is high and low, now there is a little bit of strength, there are no players who have rich game experience in the NBA, and the rest are those who were drafted, or were cut not long after being selected, and went to play in overseas leagues.

The scouting team reported a candidate today, who was drafted by the Raptors in the second round in 2006, played more than a dozen games before being cut, and then mixed in the Israeli league, not young, not tall, not very talented, and mediocre in all aspects.

"Mr. Smart, no matter how carefully you choose, this candidate must be chosen, right? Pre-season is about to begin! ”

"Okay, okay, what kind of candidates do you have, let me see."

Olsie handed the scouting team's player report to Min Congda, who flipped through the information and took a look:

"PJ Tucker, selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 35th pick in the second round in 2006, played in 17 games, averaging 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds per game, and then was cut and went to play in the Israeli and Ukrainian leagues."

"Position on the field, striker, 1.96 meters tall? 1.96m striker? A little shorter than Kobe...... Technical characteristics, relatively mediocre in all aspects, strong strength, most of the scoring comes from the inside, but the lack of height makes it difficult for him to gain a foothold in the high-level league......"

Olsie looked at Min Congda's expression, and thought to himself, the short inside line is not popular in the league, and this PJ Tucker is even shorter among the short, do you think you are Barkley, 196 plays the inside line, and when you meet the three highs, you will not be eaten alive.

There is a reason why such a player can't play in the league, and now the Clippers have to pull this to give it a try, if this doesn't work anymore, Olsie already wants to quit his job directly, go home with his children, and whoever loves to do this job will do it!

"Well, yes, this player is good, that's it."

"What?" Olsie couldn't believe his ears, what did Smart say, it was him?

"Uh, it's decided that it's him? Then I'll arrange a tryout..."

"No trial, what is the trial, what is there to try, when is it, at the end of September, the preseason training camp is about to start, and you can't play without a 15-man squad, and you are still thinking about tryouts. Don't waste time, sign the contract directly, give more if you can give more contract amount, don't be stingy, be generous. ”

"Okay, let's get out, don't get in the way of me playing the game, hurry up and do it, the new season is about to start!"
