Chapter 114 The Dust Settles
Wallace called Kupchak anyway.

"Mitch, I agree in principle about the trade, but you guys are a bit short of chips. I hope you can increase some chips." Wallace was a little helpless. The chips of other teams are good, but they are not in line with the future development of the team. Pick the Lakers.

Wallace had a purpose when he chose Mark to be the head coach of the Grizzlies.Since last season, the Grizzlies have had the idea of ​​​​trading Gasol, because Gasol will participate in the national team's game every time he goes to an international game.

The management of the Grizzlies has always opposed Gasol's participation in the national team for their own benefit. Gasol did not follow the advice of the management, and eventually suffered injuries. Since the last injury, the record of the Grizzlies has also plummeted.

The Olympics are about to begin. If there is another injury, the Grizzlies will continue to have another bad season, but they finally chose to give up Gasol.

"Wallace, tell me what do you want?" Kupchak knew that Jerry West's help worked.

"I hope you can increase your draft picks." After all, it's all for profit, isn't the trade just to get more profit.

It's just that some teams will choose current interests; some teams will choose long-term interests; and some teams will gamble for greater interests.

"Well, don't beat around the bush, just ask your conditions." Kupchak was also tortured by Kobe, and wanted to trade Gasol and Li Tian as soon as possible.

"Then let me just say that more draft picks are needed, or first-round picks." Wallace has also experienced many transactions, first asking for a high price.

"Give another first-round pick, and I hope it will be the first-round pick in 12." The first round will be worth a lot.

"Impossible, let's change another condition." Kupchak directly refused. Even if he was killed, he would not dare to make this deal. Trading the picks in 08 and 10 has already overdrawn the team's future.

"Then give another second-round pick, plus some cash." Wallace lowered his request.

"Impossible, I can't promise you this condition. You have to know that the Lakers have overdrawn two first-round picks. If they can't win the championship in the next three years, the Lakers will have to rebuild. Even if it is a second-round pick, for the Lakers It's also very important, I can't promise you." Kupchak directly refused, but did not hang up the phone.

Kupchak did not dare to agree to increase the cash transaction. The Lakers already have to pay the luxury tax.

The two communicated for a long time, and finally Kupchak agreed to Wallace to add a second-round pick this year. If there is a chance to make some PY trades in the future, he just gave up.

"Okay, let's leave it at that, and submit it to the league for approval." Wallace breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Lakers' draft picks for the next three years may be poor, it can be regarded as an explanation to the boss.

"Great, let's submit it to the alliance for approval." Kupchak was so excited that he finally completed the transaction, but there was still one last step left, just submit it to the alliance for approval.

Submitted to the Union.

Mo Gou is still unwilling to give up the deal to get Li Tian.

"Wallace, let's talk about Li's deal again." Mogou knew that he was going to bleed a lot this time.

"Sorry, you are one step late. His deal has been negotiated and submitted to the league for approval." Wallace hung up the phone.

After a week of negotiations, the negotiations are finally over and I can take a break.

But after thinking about it, how to deal with the impact of the deal, especially the anger of the fans.

Wallace patted his head unconsciously, feeling that his hair was getting less.

What should I do, and how can I better deal with the fans.

Bill Duffy has arrived in the Grizzlies general manager's office.

"Bill, it's nice to meet you. I remember you came here last time because of Li's signing." Wallace still felt a little guilty about Bill. To be traded, it is a bit unreasonable.

"Wallace, I wanted to come to Memphis some time ago, because I have been busy with other things, so I don't have time to come. Your use of Lee is too incorrect. Whether it is the position of the team or the playing time, it is not fixed. Now He's fallen out of the Rookie of the Year race." Bill got angrier the more he said it.

He went on to say, "Now it is put on the shelf without saying a word. It seems that I need to think about it. If I want to choose the Grizzlies for my players in the future, I need to be more cautious."

Bill's words made Wallace break out in a cold sweat.Bill Duffy's connections in the league are also not to be underestimated, and there are many players under his banner. If all of them refuse to come to the Grizzlies, it will have a great impact on the Grizzlies.

"Bill, calm down, don't be angry, these are some arrangements made by the management, and there is nothing I can do about it, but for this transaction, it is imperative and cannot be changed. I have tried my best to help Li, and the one who was traded is A strong team." Wallace's deal has been reached, and he won't worry about being exposed by Bill, he still believes in Bill Duffy's character.

"Tell me, Wallace, where did you trade Li?" Now there are only two teams that want to trade Li Tian, ​​and other teams are discouraged because of Li Tian's knee injury.

"You traded to the Lakers, so you should put your heart in your stomach. The Lakers have no loss in strength. You should also know the theme of the trade." Wallace also tried to comfort Bill Duffy.

"Lakers, that's okay." Bill Duffy suppressed his excitement.

The strength of the Lakers this season is still good. If Gasol and Li Tian go to the Lakers at the same time, they will be even stronger, and the championship is not without a chance.

Bill thought, "The original endorsement contract had a lot of incentive clauses. If he successfully won the championship, he would earn a lot of money." '

If you go to the Lakers, the value increase for Li Tian is not small, especially the commercial value. If you really win a championship with the Lakers, then it will be a higher level.

"Well, since the deal has been concluded, I have no choice but to wait for the approval of the league." Bill didn't show much.

"I hope Li's transaction will not affect our friendship, after all, we will have many opportunities to deal with each other in the future." Wallace still comforted him.

"Okay, but I'm leaving, and I need to communicate with Li before making the next arrangement." Bill Duffy was about to leave after speaking.

"Bill, you can't disclose this news before the league announces it. It will have a big impact on the team." Wallace urged Bill Duffy.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Then he left the Grizzlies in a hurry, and drove back to Li Tian's residence again.

After hanging up on Wallace, Kupchak could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

After several days of negotiations, he was exhausted, and when the deal was completed, the stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

"Boss, the transaction was successful. It only added a second-round pick and did not add any other bargaining chips. However, I verbally promised the Grizzlies that if they rebuild in the future, they can make some compensatory transactions." Kupp After Chek hung up the phone, he immediately called Old Bass.

"It's great, the Zijin Dynasty will start with this deal." Old Buss waved his fist excitedly. During his Lakers days, he never thought about playing badly.

"Yes boss, the next step is Phil's job. As for how to complete the lineup and finally win the championship, it depends on Phil." Kupchak was relieved.

"Haha, that's right, the next job will be handed over to Phil. This deal may make you a favorable contender for the best general manager." Old Buss is very excited, and the Lakers can once again stand at the top of the league.

"Okay, I also want to inform Phil and Kobe that this deal has been concluded. After all, the season is already halfway through, and the team is ushering in a big deal that requires a lot of work." The conversation with Old Buss ended in a hurry.

He quickly left the office and came to the training hall.

"Phil, Kobe, we succeeded." Kupchak's short sentence made the two excited.

"Great, I think we need to re-open the meeting." Phil suppressed his inner excitement, and he saw another three-peat dynasty beckoning to him.

The three walked quickly to the nearest office and closed the door.

"The transaction has been submitted to the league and will be passed soon. The boss has already contacted Stern. There is no problem. The next job will be handed over to you, Phil." Kupchak began to be the shopkeeper.

"Okay Kobe, next we will have some changes in our style of play." The most important part of the triangle offense will come, so a change in our style of play is a must.

"No problem, what needs to be changed." Kobe had the hope of winning the championship, and was willing to make compromises and concessions.

"Kobe, first of all, your possession of the ball will definitely be taken away. Also, when Lee comes to the Lakers, what position does he play, whether he is a substitute or a starter, he is a player who does not have the ability to attack independently. He is strong in three-pointers, running Position and basket." Phil had a brief understanding of Li Tian's technical characteristics.

"Yes, Mike said that Lee has not yet developed his offensive ability. From his game, it can be seen that his running position, three-pointers and offense at the basket are very strong. The basket is his only offensive method." Kobe Bryant After knowing that Li Tian was going to be traded, he carefully watched all of Li Tian's game videos.

Editing these videos in a short time almost exhausted the editor.

"Kobe, he's going to be great with you. If he's on the bench and no one helps him space the floor, he'll have fewer shots and less efficiency.

If he is on the bench, he can only attack in the low post, and our bench is still short. "It's a good thing for people to come, and it can also improve the combat effectiveness, but how to arrange it is a headache for him.

"Phil, I think it's better to let him substitute first, and then spend more time with me on the court at the same time. In the first few games, we will experiment with the new lineup to see if it works well, and then we will see how to operate it next." Kobe proposed Find a compromise idea, try first and then decide.
