I really just want to be a role player

"In the 2012 NBA Draft, with the fifth overall pick in the second round, the Warriors selected, from...

Michigan State forward, Draymond Green! ! "

……

"In the 2012 NBA Draft, the Pistons selected No. 9 overall in the second round, from...

Texas A&M small forward, Khris Middleton! ! "

……

In other words, it is estimated that it is difficult to do the 2012 lottery show. The Lakers have overdrawn the future in order to compete for the championship a few years ago, but the second round pick can still be slightly manipulated.

Seeing that Green, Middleton and other talents were selected by the original team as before, Subei did not let the Lakers management take action.

Compared with doing things in the draft, don't want the future, as long as the current Lakers, obviously focus on the free market.

When the free market opened on July 7, the Lakers signed Subei with a three-year, $1 contract.

1500 million in the first year, 1650 million in the second year, and 1850 million in the third year.

Because of the nomadism, it is impossible, absolutely impossible for Su Bei to sign a contract with a maximum salary.

For example, Paul was able to get an annual salary of 1850 million in the third year of 14 million in northern Jiangsu, that is, the 15/2000 season.

Deron Williams, who is also in the 05 class, is also at the 2000 million level this year.

In order to keep the Lakers competitive, Subei is also a routine operation, signing a 2+1 contract, and the third year is a player option.

In other words, if the Lakers are not strong enough, Su Bei can run away!
Well, James did too.

Teaming up with Kobe, Chris Paul didn't refuse. Moreover, he still played brother basketball with Su Bei. He had no reason to refuse. While making money, he also wanted to make progress and win the championship. He wanted both!
The Bobcats also couldn't stop it. As the owner of the team, Jordan didn't regard Paul as not for sale. As long as the bargaining chip was right, he was still willing to make a move.

The question is that after the rookie contract ended, Paul signed a 08-year 4 million contract extension in 6800.

That is, the start of the new season, that is, the 12/13 season, which is Chris Paul's contract year.

If Paul wants to leave with all his heart, it will be difficult for the Bobcats to stay. It is better to get together and break up to maximize the value of Paul's transaction.

Not to mention, Jordan was a little dissatisfied with Paul's performance in the playoffs.

Paul led the team and only touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, just once.

The rest are either eliminated in the second round, or in the first round, with 183 days left. Paul, who has obvious defensive flaws in the playoffs, celebrates the New Year?
The situation of the Bobcats at this time is actually not exactly the same as that of the Eagles, it can only be said that they are very similar.

It's all rounded up, which is equivalent to being broken up by the team led by James.

After all, the grouping of the Green Army has driven the grouping of the Heat, and the Bulls led by Rose are also very strong, and the Magic team led by Howard is also very competitive.

The Bobcats, a small team that is unwilling to spend money and has no money to spend, can't keep competitive players at all after Paul's rookie contract benefits are exhausted, let alone sign all-star players to play for Paul. auxiliary.

If there is only one All-Star, he can still sign it by gnashing his teeth, but he needs to sign three, and he must have a competitive bench lineup. As the poorest owner in the league, Jordan occasionally goes to the casino to do welfare. His pocket is really not enough to pay. Get up!

After a month of negotiations, on August 8, the Lakers and Bobcats reached a 1-for-7 deal that shocked the league.

The Lakers sent Bynum, Josh McRoberts, Christian Ernga, the first round of 13 and 15, the second round of 13 and the second round of 14, and got "Elvis Presley" Chris Paul in the contract year.

Of course, Jordan is also a talent. Instead of keeping Bynum, he brought in the 76ers and the Nuggets, sent Bynum out, exchanged a lot of draft picks, and backhandedly signed the Lakers contract year. Sessions, can be regarded as a small revenge for the Lakers.

For the traded Chris Paul, Jordan has made a lot of money and got a satisfactory rebuilding chip.

As long as the Lakers are now, the Bobcats can kill time, and the old Buss has a limited life and can't afford to wait, so he can only be slaughtered severely.

In Subei's previous life, the Lakers signed the 38-year-old Nash, but they were all slaughtered for four draft picks + a special case of 890 million yuan in transactions, and 300 million yuan in cash.

Now, the Lakers have paid for Howard's bargaining chips, plus half of Nash's chips are not enough, and the peak Chris Paul has been traded. In all fairness, it's not a loss.

Subei and Paul have joined the Lakers one after another, and the new F4 team is about to set sail!
At this time, the players with contracts in the Lakers team are as follows.

Center:

Power Forward: Gasol.

Small forwards: Subei, Artest.

Shooting guard: Kobe Bryant.

Point guard: Paul, Blake.

There are only 6 players on the final team, but the Lakers' salary has already exploded.

四舍五入，科比2800万+加索尔1900万+保罗1800万+苏北1500万+阿泰斯特720万+布雷克400万=9120万。

The F4 combination + two role players cost a space of 9120 million US dollars, which is only 900 million operating spaces from the total salary of [-] million yuan envisioned by the Lakers.

At this time, Jordan Hill, Sessions, Matt Barnes, and Murphy are all free agents.

Plus Darius Morris and Devin Ebanks, two restricted free agents, that is, there are team options.

Except for Sessions being signed by the Bobcats, the Lakers don't want to keep any of the other players except Jordan Hill who are still in talks.

Jordan Hill was the 09th overall pick in 8. His rookie contract ended and he wanted to sign a 3-year 1600-level contract.

After all, in the Rockets last season, he averaged 5 points and 4.8 rebounds per game. He joined the Lakers and played 7 games. He averaged 12 minutes per game and was able to score 4.7 points and 4.4 rebounds. The numbers are mediocre, but the athletic talent is there , and a big man, it is worth this value.

Fortunately, the Lakers have operational methods, such as copying the Rockets' homework of issuing poison contracts to Jeremy Lin and Asik.

前两年开出363万和356，第三年900万，总价值3年1618万的合同。

If signed, 900 million - 360 million = 540 million.

The remaining 540 space seems to be okay, but the center position is not popular, and the asking price is definitely not low. Obviously, no good inside players can be found.

No way, the management can only look for deals, let the most established stars play their tricks, and recruit a few veterans who can play, fight, and are cheap and good.

Otherwise, the management can only attack Artest or Blake.

Artest only has one year left on his contract, and Blake has only two years. It's not a bad contract, and it's still easy to sell, but it's too difficult to sign capable players.

Since he was playing brother basketball, Paul couldn't help but open his mouth, and gave a chance to PJ Tucker, who returned from Europe and waited for three years, and then three years, to seek a basic salary contract in the NBA.

He is 1 meters high and plays power forward. Although the management doesn't like it, he still gave Paul face, gave it to the mediocre PJ Tucker, and gave him a 98-year basic salary contract of 2 yuan. The first year is 154, and the second 76 per year, which has little impact on the Lakers' salary space.

While signing PJ Tucker, Jordan Hill also accepted the three-year contract extension offered by the Lakers. The Lakers have already made up 8 rosters.

Su Bei also joined in the fun and mentioned the name of Dabaibian Hassan Whiteside.

This person is a second-round pick for 10 years. Not surprisingly, Da Baibian, who only played 19 times in the Kings in two years, will be abandoned by the Kings, and then signed by the Rockets to play in the Development League.

In Su Bei's memory, next season, Gasol was too tired, both knees were injured, and he only played half of the regular season's health-care basketball.

Moreover, Gasol's injury problem is similar to that of Yao Ming, and it is very likely that North Jiangsu cannot stop it.

When Gasol was injured, the height of the Lakers dropped immediately. The problems of protecting the rim and rebounding cannot be handed over to PJ Tucker to solve, right?

Tucker is not as tall as Subei.

It would be a headache if Su Bei was asked to protect the basket and grab the board.

It should still be useful for Dabaibian to play like Rodman, and it is not expensive anyway.

If he wanted to use the new lineup of the Lakers to compete with the perfect Spurs and the Heat who continued to strengthen the three-point position, Su Bei could only make a small move.

In fact, both Duncan and Diaw were free agents in 2012, and they can do things with the Spurs.

It's just a pity that the Lakers have no room, and secondly, it's impossible for them to come.

You can't weaken your opponent, you can only make yourself stronger.

Da Baibian is 2 meters tall. This height alone is worth a basic salary contract.

The Lakers have a player at center, finally, finally.

After signing with the Lakers and confirming his next stop, Su Bei accidentally received a call from Ray Allen, asking if the Lakers had a spot for him?

"This can be.

But, I have no right to decide! "

After Su Bei expressed his welcome, he asked Ray Allen's agent to talk to the Lakers' management. After all, the Lakers' salary space is running out.

If you want to sign Ray Allen, it is estimated that you have to start with Artest.

Sometimes, having too many brothers is also a problem.

Moreover, in addition to wanting to compete for the championship, Ray Allen's big reason is to face the Celtics' contempt for him.

The Lakers aren't Ray Allen's only option.

The Heat are also an option.

After resolving the contract, Su Bei didn't stay long, and immediately flew back to the flower planter.

After staying at home for three days, he was rejected by his parents and could only continue his blind date career.

A week later, Su Bei immediately returned to the team and embarked on a new journey.

Well, 2012 was the Olympic year.

Returning to the team naturally refers to the national team!
