Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 8 Leave it to me
In the general manager's office of the Lakers, the white-haired Kupchak was leisurely looking at the documents in his hand.

There are many teams in the entire league interested in O'Neal, and there are countless offers, but there are not many substantive offers that are truly sincere.

In his opinion, there are still many teams worried about how much gas is left in the gas tank of the most destructive big center in history.

After all, he is 33 years old.

Kupchak smiled, thinking that the general managers of those teams who had such worries were as smart as him. Anyone could see that O'Neal had indeed begun to decline.

In his eyes, this big shark didn't even have a peak period of one year. After all, the center position is notoriously short.

"The Wizards gave Arenas + Stackhouse as the main chips, and the Mavericks gave Nowitzki a single exchange."

"The chips of these two teams are still so-so, and they are very sincere, but they are still not enough."

"Arenas made the most improved player before, but obviously the future stops here."

"Stackhouse just had knee surgery. For an athlete, this is a serious injury, and he is too old. It doesn't fit the Lakers' rebuilding thinking at all."

"As for Nowitzki, he averaged 21.8+8.7 per game last season. It looks good, but he is a softie, not a local player. Such a player cannot win the championship, and I will definitely not want it. .”

Kupchak nodded in self-righteous satisfaction, then smiled.

In his heart, he is a figure who is more awesome than the fortune teller Park Leli and the LOGO man West.

"The Heat's bargaining chip is still strong. Odom averaged 17.1+9.7+4.1 last season, and he is still so young. Coupled with the potential rookie Butler and a first-round pick, this is not too beautiful."

"The Lakers may soon be created by me again to create a new dynasty. At that time, I, the general manager of Kuda, will be the hero of the Lakers."

Just when Kupchak was intoxicated and satisfied, there was a light knock on the door of the room.

"Come in." Kupchak was a little surprised who came to him at this time.

"Old Ku, are you busy?" Tang Shuai greeted and did not directly enter the topic.

"Yeah, I'm very busy. For the Lakers, my old waist is about to break." Kupchak stretched forcibly according to the words.

Tang Shuai spread his hands and was speechless. If he hadn't just joined the Lakers, he would have cursed the opponent for choosing Vujacic as the free throw champion.

"Yesterday, I had a trial training with a player who is good. The team is short of a swingman. I suggest that you can refer to it." Tang Shuai talked about the topic, and his words were very tactful.

"NO, Tom, this is not your job!" Kupchak said loudly, frowning.

His displeased look directly translates to, hey, idiot, you robbed me of my job, you know that.

Tang Shuai knew very well that he had crossed the line in doing so, and he solemnly placed the side report in his hand on the table.

"Lao Ku, it was my fault to do this, but I really like this player, and I also believe that he can help the team, so..."

Tang Shuai didn't continue to say the following words, but the meaning was already too obvious.

Kupchak took the body report suspiciously and glanced at it, frowning.

"Overseas players? Haven't played in any professional basketball yet? Tang, what are you kidding?"

"I'm not joking. If you have seen his defensive ability on the court, you will definitely like him." Tang Shuai said seriously.

"NO, never, I would never like an overseas player."

"Isn't free throw king Vu Jacic also an overseas player?"

"Hey, are you doubting my ability to draft?"

"No doubts, just discussing the facts."

"What? How many years have I been with the Lakers, and you have only been here for a few days, and discuss things with me?" Kupchak directly talked about his qualifications.

Tang Shuai was a little agitated, and his chest kept rising and falling.

Did he really think that Kupchak was out of his mind? As a general manager, when he heard about a potential player, instead of being ecstatic, he started to doubt?
"Hey, I know you're sick, so don't spread it out here, it will make me very embarrassed." Kupchak quickly got up and raised his hand and said.

Tang Shuai was indeed seriously ill, but even so he still insisted on being the coach. No matter who heard about such a thing, he should respect this old coach.

But that fellow Kupchak actually said such a thing.

"In short, I hope you can take a serious look at him. I have a hunch that he will become a good defensive player, and like Dayao, he can bring a great market to the team." Tang Shuai was not angry , instead suggested the last time.

"The Lakers don't need anyone to bring the market, we are the biggest market." Kupchak said confidently.

Tang Shuai got up and left. He was a little dissatisfied. Such a good kid not only dared to compete with Ke Ke, but also had a very sophisticated defensive awareness and anticipation. Now it seems that it would be such a pity.

He couldn't help but think of Dayao. When he first entered the Mosaic team, he also suffered endless criticism and suspicion.

Even a bench player like Cato blatantly asked Dayao to tie his shoelaces for him. If Francis, the boss of the team, hadn't stood up for him in the end, I'm afraid such insults would continue.

Hey, it's really hard for overseas players to get ahead in the NBA.

Tang Shuai, who was in his thoughts, came to the Staples basketball court in a daze, and the sound of crackling basketball on the court continued.

Tang Shuai saw the extremely diligent Kobe.

"This kid is really hardworking, and he really doesn't want to waste his talent at all." Tang Shuai sighed.

No, isn't Kobe also the boss of the Lakers?And in terms of absolute authority, it is much stronger than Francis!
Tang Shuai, who suddenly thought of this, seemed to have discovered a new world, and yesterday Kobe clearly showed his appreciation for Zhao Hao, okay?

Seeing Tang Shuai walking towards him excitedly, Kobe stopped practicing, and several accompanying staff avoided him knowingly.

"I'm sorry to disturb your training, Kobe." Tang Shuai said calmly.

"It's okay, I just wanted to take a break too." Kobe spread his hands and pursed his lips.

"Didn't you go to Italy for training in the off-season? Why did you choose to be in the team this time?" Tang Shuai didn't directly confess his intentions. It has to be said that foreigners like this way of talking the most.

"Because I'm waiting to renew my contract, I don't plan to go to Italy this year." Kobe said, clapping the ball in his hand.

It was only then that Tang Shuai remembered that Kobe's contract expired this season and it was time to renew it, and it was very likely that he would sign a huge contract.

"What do you think of that young man yesterday?" He changed the subject to his own purpose.

"I should have said, he is very good." Kobe showed his standard emoji, squinted and frowned and shook his head, looking a little puzzled why Tang Shuai would ask such a question.

"But some people don't like him." Tang Shuai said directly.

After a moment of silence on the court, Kobe patted the ball with a serious expression. He understood the meaning and thoughts of the head coach in front of him, and guessed where the problem was.

It must be that idiot Kupchak, the only one who would do such an unreasonable thing.

"Leave this to me." Kobe said directly after thinking about it.
