I am so Accurate

Kupchak recently felt that he had a white hair overnight.

Kobe's forced palace was a bit beyond his expectation.

You must know that after the end of the season, he has been working hard to ease the relationship between OK.

And in terms of feedback, things have gotten better.

But now it seems that it is Kobe's consistent "doing his own way".

I promise you on the surface, but I will do whatever I want.

This is a person's character, which determines what kind of things he will do.

Kobe at this stage, as he himself said, has more than just to prove that he is the king of Los Angeles.

What he wants to prove is that he can be successful without O'Neill!

The separation of the OK combination has become an inevitable event.

Now it's a question of who to send away.

No, to be precise, it should be a question of how to send O'Neal away.

Because Kobe is now a completely free agent, unless Kobe is willing to sign first and then change, the Lakers simply have no right to trade him!

So at this time, looking at the history of the Lakers sending O'Neal away, it wasn't that they chose Kobe, but that they had no choice at all.

Of course, Kupchak's headache is not limited to this one.

Karl Malone has announced that he will not fulfill his contract for next season and will retire directly.

Payton also expressed that he will undoubtedly continue to play for the Lakers and is ready to enter the free market.

Even Phil Jackson, the epic coach who already has 9 championships in hand, communicated with him and was about to resign and rest!

Obviously, last season's F4 infighting exhausted everyone on the Lakers.

Falling apart, close at hand.

...

On this day, Sun Hao was chatting with Fu Paul about the Lakers.

He now feels that things are likely to develop in the direction of history, and O'Neal will be sent to the Heat.

Because he found that the two teams did not seem to be affected too much by his crossing.

Just then, he received a call from Yao Ming.

"I can play in the finals again!"

Yao Ming on the other end of the phone was extremely excited.

Sun Hao was a little confused.

He didn't know why Yao Ming was so excited all of a sudden.

"It hasn't been finalized yet, but there will be a result soon."

But after he asked, Yao Ming didn't say anything directly.

This approach made him a little uncomfortable.

But since Yao Ming said so, there should be a result soon.

Just as he was answering the phone, Fu Paulo also received a call.

After he hung up, he found that Paul Fu was already waiting for him.

"I got the T-mac wishlist."

"Is there a Wizards team inside?"

Sun Hao asked instinctively, it's hard for him not to think of it together.

"Number one on the list is the Wizards."

Rich Paul nodded.

Sun Hao was taken aback when he heard it.

This is... a historical revision?

MM combination, it's still here?

However, it seems reasonable.

In history, McGrady would want to go to Houston, not to say that Houston is a good boss, or that Houston belongs to Texas and can be exempted from taxes.

The main reason he went was because Yao Ming was there.

At that time, Yao Ming was already one of the top three centers in the league.

Together, they can immediately become a new OK combination.

What's more, now... Yao Ming is stronger than in history!

Moreover, the Wizards are stronger than the Houston team in the same period!

Even, when Adidas visited China for the first time before, McGrady was full of praise for Yao Ming and said that he wanted to play with Yao Ming.

Finally, in addition to the previous All-Star turmoil, Carter and him said different things, which brought different results.

Including Nowitzki's extra basket of honors because of Sun Hao's relationship.

Analyzing it, if McGrady can choose by himself, it must be the Wizards.

"But this is just T-mac's wish list. The Magic still tend to send him to the West. In his list, the second team is the Lakers."

Fu Paulo didn't know what Yao Ming and Sun Hao said.

Lakers?

interesting.

Sun Hao wanted to know the final choice of the Magic even more after hearing this.

If the Lakers management is tough for a while and is not coerced by Kobe, then McGrady changing Kobe is the best way to stop losses.

Of course, there is a prerequisite for such a situation to be that Kobe is willing to go to the Magic.

Otherwise, McGrady has a contract, and it is impossible for the Magic to trade with the Lakers.

Thinking about it this way, the Wizards are more likely.

Arenas, Mobley, Hamilton, the Wizards have a lot of options.

Moreover, the possibility of three-for-one exchange is unlikely. No matter which one is left, it is also MM. The strength of the Wizards is far stronger than that of the Houston team in history.

This free market is really a bit of a mess.

...

On the evening of the 30th, although rumors were flying everywhere, the forum was unusually calm.

All fans know that if anything is going to happen, it will happen after the free agency door opens.

But it was later that the routine was broken.

After Tracy McGrady, Kobe took his forced palace a step further, and also listed a list of his intended next homes.

This list is more eye-catching than McGrady's.

In this list, the number one, uh, yes, still the Wizards!

Kobe also wants to be teammates with Yao Ming!

Yao Ming, this is becoming a sweet potato this summer, everyone wants to take a bite!

But this wave of operations made Sun Hao dumbfounded.

So, when Yao Ming said that he can play in the Finals, did he mean McGrady, but Kobe?

This possibility is even greater!

Kobe is a completely free agent. McGrady said that it depends on the face of the Magic team, but Kobe decides completely by himself!

And the Wizards' salary space is unreasonably healthy.

Now the team has two core players, Yao Ming is still on a rookie contract, and Arenas only has an annual salary of 8 million!

As long as they get rid of Mobley's contract, they can eat Kobe alive!

Arenas, Kobe, Hamilton, Yao Ming!

Well, it's better than the F4 that doesn't deserve the name, this is the young version of the F4 in its prime!

And, that's just number one on the list.

Number two on the list is the Chicago Bulls!

The Bulls made it to the playoffs last season, with a top ten guard in the league like Francis, and potential stocks such as Yi Jianlian and Chandler.

If Kobe goes, not only will he be directly the head of the team, but also the second head, future stars and so on have already been configured!

Then the third place, the Los Angeles Clippers!

This is even more ruthless, not to mention that the Clippers also have Brand, Maggette and many other potential newcomers.

This is because you don’t want me, so I’ll go next door, the same city derby, right? I’ll turn all Lakers fans into Clippers fans!

By the way, it also includes Nicholson, the deadliest actor in the front row!

The forum exploded in an instant.

This really does not make people fall asleep! Hey!

Because of the time difference, it is already morning in China, and the fans are excited when they wake up early in the morning to see the news.

And whether it is going to the Wizards or the Bulls, this is either partnering with Yao Ming or partnering with Yi Jianlian!

Under the circumstances that it is basically impossible for Sun Hao to leave the Mavericks, this is the greatest benefit!

It's not just that the mountain is about to rain and the wind is filling the building, it's also that the clouds are densely covered, and lightning has already begun to flash.

The management of the Lakers felt unprecedented pressure.

...

Kupchak's home in Los Angeles.

On the sofa in his living room sits Bass Jr., the son of team owner Buss Sr.

As early as 1998, Buss Sr. had asked his son to work with Jerry West in scouting work.

After so many years, Bass Jr. has been able to stand alone and become an important decision-maker for the team's management.

Now the two of them were sitting facing each other, with unconcealable sadness on their faces.

Whether Bryant made this list purely to put pressure on them, or really thought that way, the Lakers have to do something now.

Otherwise, wait until the free market opens tomorrow. If Kobe really goes to the Wizards, then it will be too late.

"Among the teams interested in Shaq, Miami is the most sincere. They are willing to pay Odom, Caron Butler and Grant."

Kupchak is reporting to Buss Jr.

Little Bass nodded seriously after listening.

This offer can be said to be quite sincere.

Two quasi-All-Stars in their prime, and a high-quality rookie who played for three years.

"It would be perfect to have one more first-round pick."

Little Bass thought for a while and said.

Kupchak nodded, indicating that he would try.

"Don't worry, the important thing is to release the news of our negotiations with the teams first, uncertain news."

Little Bath still learned a lot from Jerry West.

He knew that now was not the time to be forced into chaos by Kobe, the most important thing now was to let Kobe know that they were moving in the direction Kobe wanted.

As for why the news is uncertain, it is because of this time node.

If Kobe really went to the Wizards or other teams, it means that they can only choose O'Neal.

At that time, dispelling rumors was very important.

At that time, they had to let O'Neal know that everything they said was a rumor, that we chose to keep you between you and Kobe.

Kupchak nodded after listening, he is still very convinced of the ability of the young helm of the team.

In the face of this kind of crisis, it is not easy to keep calm, let alone think so carefully.

The little Bath would be the perfect successor to the old Bath.

After the two finished chatting, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening.

Little Bass got up and went to the door, took a deep breath, took out a box of... chewing gum from his suit pocket, took two pieces and chewed them in his mouth.

Although Kupchak has been explained what he should do, his mind is actually in a mess.

Kobe and O'Neal, no matter from the preference of the Bass family, or the age of the two, the future of the team, and the current situation, keeping Kobe is a must.

But he is still young after all, and he is not the kind of person who looks down on the world like his father.

The performances of Kobe and O'Neal in the playoffs last season were two extremes.

O'Neal almost single-handedly dragged the Lakers into the Finals.

Even to put it bluntly, even if Kobe is replaced by a lower-level star, the Lakers may win the championship.

So under such a premise, to send O'Neill away is actually a very uncomfortable thing personally and emotionally.

Also, Kupchak's best proposal isn't really that helpful for the Lakers.

That is the operation of resolving zero change in whole money. No matter how much change there is, it will not be able to play the role of whole money.

As long as this deal is done, the Lakers will basically withdraw from the championship stage next season.

And after such a deal, the Lakers' salary space is also full. Grant's salary is about the same as Kobe's now.

Coupled with Odom, they may not be able to re-sign Caron Butler.

Difficult!

Little Buzz took the gum box out of his pocket again.

He could not help but see the figure of Jerry West.

"Jim, if one day in the future you feel annoyed, take a chewing gum."

That's what the Lakers legend told him when he was scouting with Jerry West.

He also asked what is chewing gum instead of cigars.

"Because it relieves your stress without turning your lungs black."

West said with a smile.

Also because of his words, chewing gum has become a habit of his.

He thought for a while, spit out the gum in a piece of paper, wrapped it and threw it into the trash can, then picked up his cell phone and called West.

Two years ago, in 2002, West resigned from the Lakers management and went to the Grizzlies as director of basketball.

Although he has worked for different teams, Buss still has contact with this former "master" from time to time.

It took a while for the call to be dialed. At this time, West must not have a rest.

Buss Jr. communicated with West about the predicament he encountered. Of course, he didn't say anything about the negotiations between the Heat and them.

He just said that many teams are interested in O'Neal.

"Are there Mavericks among those teams?"

West did not ask too much about the relationship between OK, but asked this sentence.

Bass Jr. felt a little unbelievable.

Because the Mavericks are the main competitor of the Lakers, if O'Neal is sent to Dallas.

This is a standard operation to make the opponent stronger.

Even if Nowitzki can be exchanged, it may not be a good thing.

"I think you can try to see if you can trade Sun."

But West's next words made him a little unexpected.

"I see."

After a while of silence, he seemed to know what West meant.

He turned and went back to the living room.

...

It was late at night, and rumors between the teams continued to break out.

For example, the Suns are in contact with Nash.

For example, Kobe has decided to have a meeting in Los Angeles with the teams on his list.

For example, the Lakers are discussing with the Heat about the O'Neal trade.

It's like after the lightning, there are already bursts of muffled thunder.

But just as the fans were eating French fries and watching these rumors with relish, a piece of news shocked the French fries in their hands.

According to the "Orlando Sentinel" first disclosed, the Magic and the Wizards reached a deal.

The Magic sent McGrady and Tyronn Lue, traded from the Wizards for Arenas, Mobley and future second-round picks!
