NBA: Top 3D talents to start

Chapter 268 Lakers Internal Meeting

In fact, the sentence behind Jenny Buss is the real point.

If the Lakers have a chance to get James, what is it to overdraw the future?The attention and market that James can bring to the Lakers is definitely worth the price that the Lakers will pay for the future in the next few years.

The real problem is that Wang Feng is unwilling to compete with James on the same stage.

After the All-Star Game, Wang Feng had clearly expressed his attitude through his agent.

Want James?Well, use me to trade.

With him without me, with me without him!
Speaking of this, there is absolutely nothing to talk about.

Therefore, there are actually two options before the Lakers. It is Wang Feng, who is now 26 years old and is still in a period of rising strength.

Or choose James, who is about to be 35 years old and at the end of his peak, but has a better market and strength than Wang Feng?

After a long period of entanglement, the Lakers made a choice, or Jenny Buss and Irvine Johnson chose the younger and more potential Wang Feng.

The reason why they chose Wang Feng was also after many considerations.

Wang Feng's strong performance this season is the most important factor.

A player who only turned 11 in November this year can score an average of 26+36 per game in the regular season. The future is absolutely promising!
As long as Wang Feng can be retained, the Lakers are equivalent to obtaining a superstar who can be ranked at the top level of the league in the next ten years.

Secondly, as a phenomenon-level superstar, James is still too uncontrollable. Inviting James to the Lakers is equivalent to inviting a great god, a master, and the Lakers must satisfy any request made by the other party as much as possible, just like That's how James was with the Cavaliers.

Another thing is that if you want to trade for James, young players such as Ingram and Ball may all become bargaining chips, and you will have to pay for the first round of draft picks in the next few years. The price is still a bit too high...

From the perspective of a team's manager, it is clear that Wang Feng is the wiser choice.

Hearing his sister's words, Jim Buss couldn't help looking at Wang Feng, who had a calm expression, and said, "Wang, you should understand what the team looks like when facing the Warriors in this year's playoffs. Are you really Are you satisfied with this Lakers team? You should know that with the current lineup alone, we cannot win the championship!"

Wang Feng looked at Jim Bass calmly.

"I'm quite satisfied."

There was a brief silence in the meeting room.

All eyes were on Wang Feng.

"Why, aren't you all satisfied?" Wang Feng shrugged and said relaxedly. "What was the record of the Lakers last season? 26 wins, what about this year? 52 wins! And also broke into the conference semifinals, isn't that enough? Or do you think it's better to replace me with LeBron or another player in the league? , Can the Lakers also achieve such a record?"

Wang Feng's words touched everyone's heart.

The Lakers, from the management down to every staff member and player, believe that the Lakers have achieved great success this season.

But it is precisely this that gives them great confidence, and they also eagerly hope that the Lakers can go one step further and directly become a first-line strong team competing for the championship.

"As for the reinforcement of the team... LeBron is not the only star in this league, and you should also realize that in the past five years, LeBron has only won one championship, with my help."

Wang Feng said lightly: "As for the issue of team reinforcement, I have already submitted a list of my intentions to both the general manager and the head coach. The players who can get on the list, I have more than [-]% certainty, let the Lakers win the championship next season!"

Next season, [-]% sure of winning the championship?
Everyone in the conference room looked at Wang Feng as if they were looking at a lunatic.

What is the list of signings he mentioned?Wouldn't it be for the Lakers to sign both Durant and George at the same time this season?That can indeed win the championship next season, the question is is it possible?

"Cough cough..."

The general manager Erwin Johnson coughed lightly, attracting everyone's attention, and then said. "As for the list of signings provided by Wang, I can announce it now. There are many players involved, and they are basically feasible. I think Wang really considered the current situation of the Lakers and made a reasonable judgment. .”

As he said that, he couldn't help but Park Kan said: "To be honest, after seeing this list of signings, I even have the urge to retire and let Wang Feng be the general manager of the team. He is more professional than me."

……

After a while, everyone in the conference room was lost in thought, including the two bosses, Jenny Buss and Jim Buss.

This list of signings includes many players, which really exceeded many people's expectations.

"I don't quite understand. We already have Ball. Why do we need to sign two point guards, Rajon Rondo and Derrick Rose at the same time? Especially Derrick, although it is only a basic salary, but signing one is completely worthless. What's the point of being a defender of the ball?"

Wang Feng glanced at the staff member who asked the question.

what sense?The significance lies in the fact that Wang Feng, as a traveler, knows that Rose will average 27 points and 18 assists in 4 minutes of playing time with the Timberwolves next season, and even have a superb performance of 50 points in a single game.

Is it a waste to sign a point guard who averages 18+4 per game with a low-salary contract?

As for Lonzo Ball, until 2022, his personal data will only be maintained at the level of 13+6, and he will not be able to perform at the All-Star level. the best choice.

In Wang Feng's plan, at the point guard position of the Lakers next season, it is enough for Rondo and Rose to split the playing time equally.

As for the signing target at the forward position, Wang Feng focused on Paul George. If possible, there is no need to pay any price this summer. Signing George as a free agent is the most perfect result.

But if it can't be done, if George chooses to sign with the Thunder just like another time and space, Wang Feng's second choice is Timberwolves' small forward, Jimmy Butler, the hardest player in the league.
