"These?" Bynum was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "These are more like my lifestyle now. If I could return to that familiar stadium, let alone these, I would be willing to give up even more."

Bynum's words were filled with emotion, and Tang Shuai could feel that what he said was definitely the truth.

"But who would have an opportunity for an 'old man' like me? When I quit that place, all I had left was negative news." Bynum said self-deprecatingly, and waved his hand. "Don't talk about these unpleasant things, Lance, Don, we can't compete on the court, so what if we compete on the bowling hall?"

"Okay! Tang is a rookie, I'm worried about not having an opponent." Stephenson said, ready to try.

At this time, Tang Shuai suddenly pressed Stephenson and said to Bynum with a serious expression: "Andrew, I can try to let Mickey give you a chance to try and let you continue to fulfill your dreams."

Bynum was stunned when he heard Tang Shuai's words, and then a flash of light burst out in his eyes and was about to speak.

"But." Tang Shuai reached out to stop his intention to speak, and then said, "There is only this I can do, how much energy you have left, whether your physical condition can adapt to the current alliance, will Mickey consider you? All of these depend on yourself."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Bynum looked excited, "If I really have a chance, I will definitely be confident to return to this alliance!"

Tang Shuai smiled and said nothing, but nodded.

Last year, the Lakers recruited many former Lakers players in the offseason. Although most of them parted in a bad mood, it has to be said that this approach has won a lot of benefits for the team. Moreover, Bynum is different from those players. The height he has reached is something that those people before cannot compare with before. As long as he can play half of his ability at his peak, it is still enough to be a substitute center for a team. If he can perform better, it would be a surprise.

Of course, such investments are definitely risky. Whether it is worth trying is what he said, and it is not something he can decide. The only thing he can do is to convey Bynum's transformation to Kupchek to create a possibility for this possibility.

The three of them chatted for a while. Bynum was in a good mood, but in the end it was really hard to refuse. The three of them had dinner together.

After dinner, Tang Shuai boarded the plane back to Los Angeles.

There is not much recruitment work that can help the Lakers, and even Bynum is only a surprise, but this is all he can do.

After returning to Los Angeles, he conveyed all this information to Kupchek, and he stopped paying attention to this area, but instead focused all his attention on training.

Training is very tiring, but fortunately, he has been practicing like this before and is still persisting with gritting his teeth.

This is actually what training is. The first day or two is always the most uncomfortable, but after repeated, the muscles will form a memory, which gradually becomes a habit.

After a week of training, Tang Shuai could feel that his body was slowly adapting to this training method.

And I have to say that this is a very effective way. Although it is not long, he can truly feel that his physical fitness is gradually improving.

And just after he finished his first week of training, the Lakers' player recruitment finally came to an end.

Stephenson signed a three-year contract with the Lakers. The starting salary in the first year was 9 million. After that, at an annual increase of 2.5%, the Lakers have team options in the third year.

Tang Shuai was still surprised to learn about the news. After he told Kupchek about his ideas, he did not participate in the subsequent negotiations. Unexpectedly, he finally gave him a contract of 9 million yuan in salary. From this, it can be seen that Kupchek attaches importance to Tang Shuai's suggestions.

Compared to Stephenson, Bynum's situation is not so smooth, because he hasn't played for too long, Bynum's body fat content, endurance, bounce, etc. are far below the league's average. Fortunately, his knees have recovered almost as he said, and it seems that some of the skills under the basket are still there. After thinking for two days, Kupchek finally decided to only give him an insured veteran's basic salary contract.

This means that Bynum, the former veteran, needs to compete in the preseason with those on the sidelines of the team, and win hope for himself to stay in the team.

However, Bynum was open-minded. After getting the contract, he was extremely excited and thanked him again after finding Tang Shuai.

Bynum's attitude touched Tang Shuai. After asking Prokopio for advice, he gave Bynum a training method specifically for rapid recovery. There is more than a month left before the start of the preseason. It depends entirely on him to achieve the level of training.

In addition to Shuai Tang, Barnes and Batum also recruited some players for the Lakers. Azeri of the Warriors, the center who had had a conflict with Shuai Tang, was originally planning to seek a contract with a starting salary of more than 15 million in the summer, but unexpectedly, there was a hidden danger of knee injury later, causing the market value to plummet. Seeing that "Big White" Aldridge had received a contract with an annual salary of 8 million, the offer he received was only five or six million, so he was naturally unwilling to give up and was waiting.

In the end, there was nothing he could do, and even the Warriors no longer needed him. Once Barnes recruited, he could only choose to join the Lakers. The contract was just a three-year and 10 million contract. With a sharp increase in salary cap, this was quite cheap for an inside player.

As for Batum, he helped him in recruiting Gasol. In the end, Gasol chose to return to his roots and return to the Lakers. A two-year contract of 2,000 was an unprecedented cheap price for Gasol, who still maintained a good condition.

At this point, the Lakers' recruitment work is coming to an end.

A list of revolving sets is also vividly revealed on paper.

:Ship Tang Brewer/Stephenson Barnes Norr Gasol

Rotation: Clarkson Brewer/Stephenson Nick Young Landry Azeri.

Substitute: Hultas, Charity World Peace, Nance, Bynum.

The 14-man roster, plus a possible undrafted rookie, is not the most perfect compared to last season's lineup, but this is enough for Lakers fans to look forward to.

The new Lakers, a new future, all fans need to do is just wait for the day when the new season arrives.
