"Currently, our center position is a weak position. Dwight, Tony and Darko can all play center. However, although Tony is good as a substitute, his ability is not worthy of his salary. I will also consider it as much as possible. It is possible to trade him out, if it is not possible, I will consider choosing to buy him out between him and Parry."

Although Tony Batty is a nice guy and has a good popularity in the team, what Otis Smith said is the reality. Today's Magic must move if they want to strengthen the inside, especially a good substitute is extremely important.

Tony Batty will undoubtedly not be able to keep up with the future Magic. In addition, he still has a three-year contract of nearly 1700 million, which is also a burden for the future of the Magic. After all, the Magic still needs to renew Howard's contract, and Lin Sen will need to renew his contract in a few years.

"Chris has maintained a good state this season, but he is at the end of his career. There is no doubt that Darko will become the team's starting power forward in the future. Chris can score as a substitute but can't keep up with the team's requirements on defense. , so our interior selection must be defensive, and offense can actually be put aside, I don’t know if you have any good recommendations.”

As soon as Otis Smith finished speaking, the scouting director Haining said: "Otis, you are right. The interior defense is very important. This year's finals is a good example. If we have defense, everything will be different, Germany. White and Darko's defense is good, but they still need to grow, especially Dwight. If possible, we can compete with Chicago for Andreas Nocioni. Although he can't play center, power forward is still a good choice. Can play small forward. We are also very weak at small forward right now."

"Actually, there is another option that is not bad. Remember the Pole that Phoenix gave us? He played well in the German league. He has offensive and defensive key play, is tough and has a good height." Stan Van Gundy said.

"The big Polish man?" Otis Smith thought for a while, "Marcin Gortat?"

"Yes, that's him. We can find him first and then send him down. If possible, we can call him back. Of course, this is another option. Haining's proposal is very good, but I think Anderson Varejao in Cleveland is more important. Fits the bill. He's a player who plays with his head."

Stan Van Gundy said that he prefers Varejao more in his heart. In contrast, he still hopes to get a player like Varejao, but Varejao's performance is obvious to all. The possibility of recruiting him or playing as a substitute is very real. too small.

Otis Smith also thinks the same way. After all, the team's starting lineup is basically stable. The only changes are the positions of small forward and shooting guard. There must be someone who needs to move between Turkoglu and Azubuike. After all, These two positions are the key positions to increase the Magic's starting lineup, and the proposal of Haining and Van Gundy is good but the possibility is too small.

"Have you considered the salary and the mentality of the players themselves? Darko and Dwight are destined to start. So we cannot guarantee the starting position. From this point of view, the possibility of Varejao and Nocioni is very small. Others I have good ideas about the positions, but do you have any better ideas for these two positions?" Otis Smith was thinking about these two positions yesterday, and he had a headache.

Lin Sen, who was listening carefully, suddenly had an idea: "Do I have a candidate?"

"Who? Is it an experienced veteran?" Stan Van Gundy was also very concerned.

Lin Sen laughed: "No, he is a relatively young player. He is only 25 years old this year. He mainly plays power forwards but can also play small forwards and centers. The offensive range is also quite large. The key is to defend well. This year is completely free. player."

Lin Sen's words immediately aroused the interest of Otis Smith, Stan Van Gundy and others, but after thinking about Lin Sen's statement, there is no doubt that there is no such player who can't make it for 800 million, and they have to let the opponent play them as substitutes. His interest suddenly decreased a lot.

"Wood, are you sure such a player can play as a substitute?" Otis Smith asked.

"of course."

"Who is that?"

Lin Sen smiled: "It's my former teammate Eddie Griffin."

As the head of scouting, Haining immediately thought of Eddie Griffin, but quickly frowned: "Wood, this Eddie used to be a talented player, and he also showed excellent form, but his bad behavior off the court Too much, smoking marijuana and injecting drugs... Are you sure such a player meets our standards?"

Otis Smith nodded: "Heinin is right, but since Wood is so confident, you can tell me what you think. Also, I remembered that he performed very well during the time when Kevin Garnett was injured. Okay, but then after you left, his condition slumped and he became a substitute again."

"Yes, that's true, but I have a good relationship with Eddie. Eddie told me when I left that he wanted to be with me. I have confidence in him. He's just not good at communicating. Those behaviors, I just remembered him, I have confidence in him, if possible, I think I can contact him." Lin Sen said, his relationship with Eddie Griffin is good on the one hand, but Greg Riffen does have good abilities, which is what matters. He believes in his own vision.

Although others have serious doubts about Eddie Griffin suggested by Lin Sen, after all, it was Lin Sen who suggested Otis Smith and Stan Van Gundy Heinen. Lin Sen's face is also good, if it is really bad and even affects other people after he comes, then he will not say anything about laying off Lin Sen.

"Okay, Wood has worked hard for you." Otis Smith said with a smile, "In addition, we can also introduce a veteran insider. My goal is Kurt Thomas of Phoenix, but Kurt's defense in the Western Conference Semifinals Tom Duncan I think everyone has seen that although Kurt is old, he is a good choice to play as a substitute, but his annual salary next season will be as high as 800 million. Not surprisingly, he will choose to stay in the Suns. But I heard that the Suns are preparing to Rebuilding Kurt Thomas is likely to be traded. I want to try, it may be a three-way deal, in addition to New Jersey's Mickey. Moore and pj. Brown are also my consideration objects."

"Okay, let's do this for the time being inside. Let's take a look at the most troublesome small forward and shooting guard." Otis Smith's words are right. These two positions are the most troublesome for the Magic.

Although small forwards have Grant Hill and Turkoglu, Hill's offensive ability is not as good as he was when he was young, and Turkoglu's outstanding offensive ability is what the Magic needs, but his defense is not good.

As for the shooting guard position, although the rookie Kelanna Azubuike has conquered everyone in the Magic.But talent is limited and there is only so much that can be given to the Magic. It is unrealistic to ask for too much. Now that the Magic has 2000 million salary space and the idea of ​​hitting the championship, it is imperative to strengthen these two positions. OK.

"Gerald Wallace, Vince Carter, Rashad Lewis, Matt Barnes, Michael Pietrus, James Posey, these are the players I think are pretty good in the free market, you guys Let's talk about your thoughts." Otis Smith looked at everyone after he finished speaking.

"Actually, Vince Carter is the best in terms of reputation, and New Jersey is destined to rebuild. It is very likely that Jason Kidd will leave the team. Bad, we have cap space if we can, I think we should try."

Stan Van Gundy pondered.He has thought about Carter for a long time, and his only concern is that Carter is a player who wants to be the boss.Now he is not very old and only 30 years old. According to his current style of play, he will basically have about three years to reach his peak. If Carter is really allowed to join, then the team will have more options on the offensive end. Much smaller and easier to play.

"Vince's contract will definitely not be low. It is estimated that there is no four-year 6000 million contract that cannot be negotiated. Of course, our strength may be his consideration requirement, but the most important thing is his positioning of himself. He has already proven that A superstar who has surpassed himself, came to the team..." Haining didn't finish his sentence.

Lin Sen laughed. He knew what Haining meant. He was just worried that Carter would come to compete for the team leader position. The Magic has already established his position. If Carter and the two get into a quarrel, it will destroy the Magic. Overall.

"Wood, what do you think?" Otis Smith asked.

"I welcome Vince to join. Don't worry about me. I believe that I can handle the relationship with Vince well. I will bring him into the team and bring Orlando to the championship."

Lin Sen's tone was very relaxed, but he also expressed his optimism to everyone. Even when Vince Carter came, he had full confidence in his status, which made Otis Smith feel relieved.

After all, Vince Carter's strength, ability and popularity are top-notch. It is undoubtedly excellent to be able to sign Carter. Now Lin Sen doesn't mind that as long as Carter communicates well, he believes that the strength of the Magic will be upgraded to a level. .

"In fact, apart from Vince, there are strong players such as Gerrard. His defense is the best among all. He has a body and an offense. It is what a championship team needs, and if Vince Carter can’t sign it, then signing Gerrard is a good choice, and Michael is a cheapskate, this is our chance.” Haining said with a smile.

"Heinin is right. If not, we can consider James Posey, Michael Pietrus and Mark Barnes. I especially like the latter two. After all, they are not well-known but their strength is very suitable for our needs. As for Rasheed, his offense is good but his defense is terrible," Stan Van Gundy added.

An hour later, the meeting ended, and Otis Smith immediately flew to New York to meet with Vince Carter. However, the whereabouts of Otis Smith was caught by reporters, and soon the news of the Magic pursuing Carter spread throughout the United States.

The "New York Times" article was written with a nose and eyes, which made many people believe it was true, and even made Magic fans excited. (To be continued..)
