Super Small Forward

Because the Celtics’ deal was too noisy this time, the Celtics’ team spirit, Pierce, who is known for his loyalty, and Garnett, who has a very high popularity in the world, will draw great attention to the design of these two transactions. , When the two were traded together, or purely for profit, the Celtics had become a whirlpool of public opinion.

　　 So, the Lakers' petty trade was completely ignored.

The Lakers had a three-way trade with the Warriors and the Rockets. The Lakers sent Steve Blake to get Warriors backup point guard Kent Bazemoore. By the way, the Lakers wanted to leave their team's third small forward Drummond Green. Adding to the Rockets' 2014 second-round pick.

　　 The Warriors sent Bazemore, Green, and Marshan Brooks to get Steve Blake and the Rockets' 2016 second-round picks.

　　 The Rockets came purely to lose. They took the Lakers a big advantage in the summer. Morey took the initiative to lose this time and used two second-round picks in exchange for Marshan Brooks, who could barely play the ball.

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson has long wanted a steady and tough backup point guard to inject an iron-blooded temperament into the team. Regardless of Blake is a white man, he has always been very tough in playing. That kind of toughness, no matter what your opponent is, you dare to be tough.

For Blake to send away the young Baezmore Mark-Jackson thinks it’s worth it, but he doesn’t know that what Kupchak really wants is the Green, who he sees as a supercharger, which does not stand out in his opinion. Ability short forwards, playing the third position is too slow, playing the fourth position is too short.

　　 Mark Jackson is a traditional coach, with very detailed divisions for each position, completely different from Steve Kerr.

　　Mark Jackson heard that the Lakers had previously signed a long-term contract with a center who had been waived for two years. He believed that the Lakers really had no inside line, so he sent Green away.

When Liu Ren saw the Lakers trade in the corner of the news section, he couldn’t help wondering if Cole took over the Warriors in accordance with history next year, and then saw Green, who was sent to the Lakers by the Warriors as a bonus, played out, would he be angry. Kidney pain?

Liu Ren doesn't doubt whether D'Antoni can let Green play out. If D'Antoni four superstars are given, all of them are the former bosses, and they are just grouped together, and they don't even know what they want to do together, maybe he will do it. I couldn't make the playoffs because all of them were bigger than him.

　　 But, if you give him a bunch of players of average strength, he can give you something to play.

　　 Liu Ren has always felt that D'Antoni's ability to discover role players is comparable to Popovich. The Lakers' Earl Clark left the team a few days ago and signed a three-year 14 million contract with the Cavaliers.

　　 Clark was almost out of play when he was in the Magic a year ago. He came to D'Antoni for a year and is now almost middle-class.

All-round players like Green came to D'Antoni and allowed him to perform well during the period when Kobe had not come back. Kobe will only trust him more when he comes back. Players like Green who pass the ball as the top priority are his favorite. Up.

　　 Just like Liu Ren once imagined that Kobe and James would join forces at their peak. One loves to pass and is invincible, the other is invincible in scoring and defensively. The combination of the two should not be too beautiful.

　　 "This is the bankrupt version of the 23+24 combination, right?" Liu Ren thought maliciously.

The Lakers' reinforcement is still continuing. Among their summer league teams, there are two first-round picks in recent years. One of them is the small forward who played in the Suns last year and the 2010 Kings' No. 5 pick Wesley Johnson. He has close to the NBA starting strength, took the initiative to participate in the Lakers Summer League, and the Lakers reached a two-year 1.9 million contract.

　　 Wesley Johnson has always been a good player, but when he entered the NBA, he was too old and there was not much room for improvement. He did not have a place in a team like the Kings that need to accumulate talent, and the Suns did not have his place. He got offers from other teams, but he chose to return to Los Angeles to support the Lakers who were about to collapse.

　　 Another first-round show in 2010, called Xavier Henry, the top domestic and international emperor, was selected by the Grizzlies at the 12th overall pick. Unlike Wesley Johnson, he did not play, not because the team has no position, and he was very young. When he was drafted, he was 19 years old. Whether in the Grizzlies or the Hornets, the team is willing to train.

　　 But Henry is a serious glass man. He has an explosive bounce, top speed, and skillful technique, but his body is not tolerant to grass.

　　 The Lakers are willing to take a gamble on him, and also sign him with two annual salary.

　　 After signing the two consecutively, the Lakers continued to strengthen. After studying a lot of videos of Antetokounmpo playing in Europe with D'Antoni, Kupchak made a decision and submitted a trade application to the Bucks.

At this time, the Bucks did not see the potential of Antetokounmpo. In this year's super draft year, even the No. 1 pick was only positioned as a qualified starter, a 15th pick that didn't even make a lottery. They randomly selected a person from the list provided by the scout.

　　 But Bucks general manager John Hammond wanted to take a small advantage, and after bargaining with the Lakers, they made an agreement.

　　 The Lakers sent out Jodie Meeks, Ryan Kelly, his 2014 second-round pick and the Rockets' 2014 second-round pick by the Bucks rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo.

　　 This trade seems to be quite satisfactory. The Lakers signed a lot of young perimeter players. It is necessary to exchange Meeks for a frontcourt player to strengthen the frontcourt after losing Jamison and Howard.

Time flickered to mid-September, two weeks before the start of the training camp, the Lakers began returning one by one. Liu Ren invited Thackeray, Gasol, and Jordan Hill to three old teammates. His family got together once, the Lakers players last season, only four of them plus the tendons have healed, and the five Kobes who began to recover.

After Kobe’s tendon injury was fully recovered, Gary Vidi was taken by Kupchak to take care of Kobe. Liu Renkubi could only train by himself. Fortunately, he got used to the gradual way of gaining weight every day. When boring things are regarded as fun, they are not boring.

　　The Lakers are now young to the limit. Except for Kobe, Nash, Gasol, and Farmar, everyone else was born after 1989, a bunch of 22- and 23-year-olds.

　　 Young people, most of whom had unsatisfactory lives before, now they are very motivated in the new environment and want to prove themselves.

　　 In the beginning, Baibian Whiteside joined Liu Ren's training, and asked Gary Widi to guide him in training together.

　　Gary Widi is a very good trainer throughout the NBA. He has a great reputation. When Whiteside plays in the NBL, he has fewer games and less training, mainly because of environmental issues.

　　What Whiteside does not understand is why certain Chinese players who are very talented in his eyes do not like training at all, and would rather play with a beer belly. Can they play well?

　　 But the training Whiteside in China feels very unprofessional, and he always goes back and forth to squat. Whiteside thinks that is murder, especially for a center like him.

　　 Everything is not professional, this is what Whiteside learned about Chinese basketball from playing in the NBL.

　　 Liu Ren is very excited about Whiteside joining the training together. Not surprisingly, this big man is the backbone of the Lakers' future. He is still defensive and will not compete with himself. He is so beautiful...
