beast basketball

Stephen had a good impression of the city of Los Angeles, and left Charlotte as if escaping. After coming to Los Angeles, Stephen enjoyed a quiet and peaceful life, and it was here that Stephen started his basketball career.

Moreover, the Lakers team is also one of the few teams in the league that is willing to invest. For a team like them, failing to win the championship means failure. The Lakers are also the most kingly temperament in the league. Although the team's performance in the past two seasons has been unsatisfactory, only one season did not make the playoffs.

Compared with another Celtic team with a rich history, the Lakers have only fallen for three or four years, but the Celtics have never entered the championship group since Larry Bird retired. Oftentimes they don't even make it to the playoffs.

It's strange to say that so many teams have come to contact him, why is there no Boston Celtics among them? Stephen was a little surprised when he thought of this. Could it be that because they have Paul Pierce, they don't need outside players? Yes, They traded Ray Allen again, so they really don't need players on the front and back lines.

But even with Ray Allen and Pierce, it is still impossible for the Celtics to make a big difference this season, because his current lineup is seriously unbalanced inside and outside, with two outside star players, but only one inside is useless Al Jefferson, how about such a lineup?

What surprised Stephen was that other teams more or less expressed some meaning, only the Celtics showed no expression, just like the joke told by a female publicist of Wick Company when Stephen was in China. He was hospitalized, and he couldn't remember who came to see him, but he definitely remembered who didn't come to see him.

In addition to the Boston Celtics, there are Phoenix Suns, Utah Jazz, Golden State Warriors, New Jersey Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Washington Wizards, and Denver Nuggets. There is no connection with Stephen or Mordance. Of course, there are reasons for this, some are new or old grievances, and some are not strong enough for the team, and they are self-aware not to recruit them.

Of course, Stephen is not so narcissistic that he will become the sweet potato that the whole league will loot. More than two-thirds of the teams have expressed it more or less. This result has already satisfied Stephen. Some teams just asked politely. For such a team, Stephen would naturally not choose.

At present, the more sincere teams are the Los Angeles Lakers, Seattle SuperSonics, Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Portland Trail Blazers, Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets. In addition to sending Yao Ming as a lobbyist, the general manager and the head coach met with Mordance and discussed topics such as the future of the team, but they were not even impressed by Modance, let alone Stephen. up.

Unless the Rockets can deal with McGrady's contract, otherwise Stephen will not choose to go to such a team. Stephen has not considered the Texas teams in the early days. According to the normal unspoken trading rules, such as Players like Stephen will only be traded from the West to the East. Although Stephen’s situation is not considered a transaction, the Spurs have not proposed such a restriction, but Stephen still does not want to embarrass the Spurs. If it is not for the teams in the East I really can't impress Stephen. Stephen is really willing to go far. In this case, meeting the Spurs is only an occasion for the finals.

The Dallas Mavericks came forward with Nelson Jr. Mark Cuban did not make a shot himself. Nelson Jr. met with Modances twice and saw that the response was not very good, so he did not continue to chase, but he did not give up; Portland Trail Blazers The team is very willing to invest, but the team's image is too bad. Mordance is determined not to let such a team be considered. In addition, they made a deal to give up Randolph. The lineup is gone, and Stephen has no interest in grabbing the position of Roy's boss.

Needless to say, the Heat and the Cavaliers, they contacted Modance very early. At first, Stephen’s misunderstanding of LeBron James was also eliminated. It turned out that this guy expressed his favor to Stephen on Twitter. It's a pity that Stephen didn't play that at all, he winked in vain, and made Stephen misunderstand their lack of sincerity.

These two teams have great ambitions and relatively good strength. One is Stephen's opponent in the finals last season, and the other is his opponent in the finals last season. Standing out among the fifteen teams shows that their strength is also very competitive.

The bad thing is that whether it is Wade or LeBron James, they are still young. If you cooperate with them, it is very likely that the two will always coexist. It is not like staying with the Spurs or going to the Los Angeles Lakers. After waiting for two or three years, he will be able to take over the position of the boss.

As for the Seattle Supersonics, Stephen is the real boss when he goes, Ray Allen has left, and Lewis is a restricted free agent like Stephen. The selected Durant and Jeff Green are both forward players, similar to Lewis.

However, although one of them is this year's No. [-] pick and the other is this year's No. [-] pick, as long as Stephen goes, with Stephen's current status and achievements, it will not be any problem to suppress the two of them. Two unproven rookies, That's as good as a two-time Finals MVP.

Stephen is thinking about it, and Mordance came over, and he told Stephen that since there are no big fish in this year's free agent market, many teams do not plan to make large-scale transactions this year, so the free agent market looks a bit deserted , this is not a good thing for Stephen.

Except for the Seattle SuperSonics, the teams that are tempted by Stephen all want to strengthen their existing strengths and do not plan to trade existing core players. It hurts the muscles and bones, but it can also strengthen the strength.

In addition, Mordance also brought news that the general manager of the Orlando Magic, Otis Smith, sent an ultimatum to Mordance. If the negotiations between the two parties cannot go further, then the Magic will implement another plan. .

After Stephen heard this, he found it very funny. A team like the Orlando Magic is threatening people. Could it be that they think the league is just their team?Stephen waved his hand at Mordance calmly: "You call him now and tell him to let them do whatever they want."

"He said, I hope we won't regret it." After calling, Mordance told Stephen with a very strange expression.

"There's nothing to regret about it. It's impossible for me to earn less if I switch to any team. It's unreasonable for anyone to give me more." Stephen has never seen such a general manager. The general manager of that team is not very deep, no matter whether he is accepted or rejected, he always has a smile on his face, so there is someone like him, and he just throws his face away before it's too late.

"Fortunately, I didn't plan to go to a team with such a brain-dead general manager from the beginning." Stephen is still rejoicing that if he goes to such a team, he doesn't know what kind of torture he will suffer. Can't live with people.

"It's a fight with our boss, and our boss is just a little more stingy." Coupard also defended Stephen.

"Forget it, don't discuss him. When you encounter such an incident today, you can analyze it for me." Stephen told Modans exactly what happened today, and Modans After listening to it, I also feel very strange.

"It's Kupchak who has been in touch with me. Those Jenny Busses are only in charge of business development. How did they get involved in player affairs?" Modans was also very puzzled, but he quickly thought of a possibility: "Could it be that one of them deliberately came to sing the red face, and the other purposely came to sing the bad face?"

"It's unlikely. I think they belong to the same team, but they seem to be two forces." Stephen thinks that's not the case. The two parties don't seem to have negotiated at all.

"It seems that you have to find someone who has a deep understanding of the Lakers to inquire about it. If you want to choose the Lakers, you'd better understand this situation clearly. Ordinary players don't need it. If you are the core player of the team, even the dynamics of the high-level management are not important. If you can’t grasp it, it’s a bit dangerous, but our company has just entered this circle after all, so we may not be able to inquire about it.” Although the CAA company is also in Los Angeles, and the Lakers are also in Los Angeles, sometimes these high-level internal personnel issues are involved , is not so easy to inquire about.

"I'll also find someone to inquire about it." After Modance left, Stephen began to think about who had a better understanding of the internal situation of the Lakers. After much deliberation, Stephen thought of Robert Horry. After six or seven seasons, there should be a few acquaintances.

As soon as he thought of it, Stephen immediately picked up the phone and called Robert Horry. At the end of the season, this guy said that he would retire as soon as the season ended, but he didn't mention it now. After listening to what Stephen said on the phone , Robert Horry solemnly told Stephen: "I don't know too much about the inside story, but I know that Jenny Buss and Kupchak are not in the same group. Behind Kupchak should be Jim Buss, Jerry Bass Si is getting old, and he is going to let go of the team and hand it over to his son or daughter. The situation should be unclear now, if this is the case, I don’t recommend you to choose the Lakers.”
