Since in the previous deal with the Suns, the Lakers not only gave the team's 2000 draft picks, but also sent out the relationship between Rice, Lewis, Fisher and others, so Lakers' general manager Jerry West knows better than ever

It is far from enough to stop the rising Northern Dragon.

As we all know, in the Michael Jordan era, in order to fight against the Bulls, any team in the league that had ambitions would hoard a large number of forward and guard players on their outside.

So West knows

If you want to solve Su Feng and liberate Kobe in the game, while getting Kidd, the Lakers have to focus on their outside staff reserves.

But

Just the salary cap at this time in 2000, leaving LOGO men with room for operation, but it is not as operational as Su Feng was in the Warriors in the future in his previous life.

Therefore, West also knows that this summer, besides letting the workers exert their subjective initiative, the Lakers have no second path to signing and strengthening.

Then now the problem is here.

Those who have dreamed of wearing Lakers jerseys since childhood.

them

Do you want to "home" now?

As one of the founders of the Bulls' first dynasty, Horris Grant, who had partnered with the young Sharks during the Magic period, became the first player to respond to the Lakers' "Summoning of Home" this summer.

In the multi-party transaction where the Knicks swept Ewing out, because of Su Feng's previous life, the key figure in this transaction was sent to the Suns, so the Suns naturally replaced the Lakers and became one of the main players in this transaction.

Of course, if Su Feng remembered correctly, the Sun would have participated in this transaction in his previous life, but the Sun was just a runner-up at that time.

So, after this multi-party deal was reached, the Suns not only successfully got rid of Rice's salary burden, laying a solid foundation for them to sign McGrady in the summer, but also reached a buyout agreement with Grant as soon as possible after obtaining Grant and multiple draft picks.

For the Suns, who decided to build a team with young people such as McGrady, Marbury, and Lewis as the core in the new season, veterans like Rice and Grant are obviously not the "ideal answer" they want.

According to the NBA's buyout agreement, if no team claims it after a player is bought out 48 hours later, the buyout agreement reached by Grant and the Suns will be included in the Suns' salary cap.

However, because when a buyout agreement is adopted, NBA teams will pay in installments, after buying out Grant, Grant's salary in the Suns' salary cap is a small part of it.

In his previous life, including when he was a fan, he, like most people, could not understand why these NBA teams liked to buy out powerful veterans so much. But in fact, after buying out between the original team and these veterans, they not only could successfully save money, but also allowed these veterans to have the right to pursue their dreams at the end of their careers.

Therefore, after the buyout clarification period ended, Grant could not wait to express his identity as Humi to the world for 30 years without thinking.

The LOGO man didn't even think about it. He just had a basic salary contract, winning the Lakers the cornerstone of the championship.

However, although Grant's arrival successfully solved the Lakers' weakness in power forward position, and also renewed its relationship with "Zen Master"

But after all, this guy is just an inside player after all, and it is still far from the idea of ​​LOGO men wanting to organize the "Su Feng Killer Group".

Just as the LOGO man posted "The Lakers' Son-seeking Revelation", Michael Jordan also gave the Lakers a divine assist.

In Su Feng's previous life, if you know enough about the grudges between Jordan and the Wizards, then you should know that in fact, Jordan had reached a private agreement with the Wizards' cheating boss.

For this reason, the Wizards did not hesitate to cut Richmond, who was reimbursed for injury in the 200/01 season, and also prepared a bunch of high-spread newbies and draft picks for the Wizards after Jordan joined.

certainly

If the Wizards did not let Jordan perform so many micro-jobs on team building after this, then maybe this Wizards would have risen long ago.

All in all.

Because someone's reputation is surpassing himself at a speed visible to the naked eye, Jordan has indeed reached a PY agreement with the Wizards in private after returning the double quotient to God, before being hit by Pierce and Atei joined forces to break the ribs this summer.

That is, even if Jordan does not make a comeback in the future, he will join the Wizards' management and form a "champion team" for the Wizards through his "unparalleled" overall view and his knowledge reserves as the league's number one "Google Master".

For this reason, when Jordan saw that Richmond was still getting such a high salary when he saw that he was already 35 years old, he suggested that the Wizards buy out this guy without even thinking about it.

After all, in their opinion, the Wizards should be rebuilt next season.

And what if Richmond, who averaged 17+ per game last season, led the Wizards to win a few more games and the Wizards couldn't get a good draft pick, what should you do at that time?

Therefore, after the Wizards reached a buyout agreement with Richmond, the "Son of the Lakers" finally welcomed a key gentleman this summer.

The LOGO man easily accomplished what most general managers in this league could not do with a two-year basic salary contract.

It has to be said that the history of the Lakers' team building is completely a "letting go and making a fortune out of nothing".

After the construction of Lakers' bosses for generations, in the hands of Old Buss, this Lakers not only has a brand advantage that other teams in the league cannot match, but also, Los Angeles City also has its own appeal to these stars.

In addition, the main framework composed of O'Neal, Kidd and Kobe was too charming, so Richmond, like Grant before, almost thought without thinking much, chose to join the Lakers.

Before joining the Lakers, Richmond hadn't considered the Raptors.

But on the one hand, Canada, which is cold and cold, lacks attractive to these American stars. In addition, Richmond is not as superstitious as Barkley, who is Su Feng will definitely win the championship.

So, since the Lakers in the Western Conference have also reached the Finals in the past two years, Richmond is also a dignified former NBA All-Star player.

Why did he join a team that was already the champion before he joined?

However, whether it is Grant or Richmond.

Because these two people will join this Lakers team in their original historical trajectory, in Su Feng's opinion, these operations of the Lakers were not beyond his expectations.

This summer, Su Feng really made him feel the terrifying attractiveness of the Lakers brand.

That must be the third "Son of the Lakers".

And this time, the root cause of all this

If you don’t brag or not, Su Feng has to stand up and pick up the pot.

As we all know, as the number one Joe Chui and number one Honey in this league, it has been a long time since the "god calculator" in Miami, Su Feng and Jordan.

Among them, especially the young and energetic Su Feng, has long become Riley's knot.

In Su Feng's previous life, looking at Riley's team-building history at the Heat, you will find that Riley has been committed to finding the next Jordan.

Whether it was Jones in the early 21st century, Wade after this, or Jimmy Butler later.

Even if he can't get Jordan, he is looking for players who are as close to Jordan as possible.

And this life, in Riley's view.

As long as God is willing to give Su Feng to him, even if Riley makes a cow and horse for Su Feng, he is willing to do it.

In fact, after Su Feng KO O'Neal in the Finals for two consecutive years, Riley had made up his mind.

That's it.

In this cycle when Su Feng just renewed his contract with the Raptors, it doesn’t matter if he can’t get Su Feng.

But the Heat must prepare in advance for Su Feng's next transfer cycle.

In this way, Eddie Jones, who would have been signed by Riley as a "consolation gift" this summer, was decisively given up by Riley.

After all, if the Heat's space is locked down due to signing Jones, then when Su Feng jumps out of the last year's contract with the Raptors, who will Riley ask for?

ha?

You said Riley's all hopes for the team are placed on Su Feng's future operation, which is a bit too much for the Knicks?

That.

So what?

Because Su Feng is strong enough, it is worth it!

Even if he can't get Su Feng, Riley will bet on this!

Otherwise, even after he dies, he will not be able to forgive himself!

After all, why can Phil Jackson coach Michael Jordan, and John Davis's stupid ass coach Su Feng, but he is Pat Riley.

But he can only coach Mo Ning, Hardaway and others?

Riley knew very well that in this cruel alliance, opportunities would not come to you.

Therefore, he must create opportunities for himself.

As for the Heat's achievements in the next few years?

That doesn't matter!

As long as you can get Su Feng, what's wrong with losing the achievements in recent years?

No one knows better than Riley. In the field of basketball, you must first have good players so that you have the opportunity to compete for the championship.

So, after Riley gave up Jones, an interesting scene appeared.

Because this summer, the strong teams Jones wants to go to have no salary space, and those weak teams are not attractive to Jones.

so.

Lost Eddie, do you want to "home"?

Do you think of the Los Angeles Lakers you once fought for?

Do you still remember the snow in Los Angeles, the nightclubs in Los Angeles, and the steakhouse in Los Angeles?

Come.

Dry this bowl of "California Beef Noodles"!

For Eddie Jones, 29, how could you say he didn't miss the Lakers that year?

You know, Kobe was still the little head behind his butt in his rookie season.
