Center: O'Neal.

Power Forward: Ben Wallace. (To be determined)

Small forward: Bao Wen. (To be determined)

Pointback: Kobe.

Point Guard:?

Li Mu had a perfect team of slaughter iron in his heart, and there were already four people, and next, there was only one point guard behind.

Speaking of which, the main reason why the Lakers failed to break out from the West for two consecutive years is the strength of the power forward and point guard.

If Robert Horry guards the power forward position is the disaster area, then the point guard position is the hardest hit area for the Lakers.

After 10 years of time, the Lakers' lineup No. 1 is headed by superstar player Magic Johnson.

However, the Magician's resume is too glamorous and shining, and it is too successful in the Lakers, which seems to have exhausted the Lakers' No. 1 position in the next 30 years.

In the next 10 years, there will never be any stars in the Lakers' No. 1 position. The ranking of strength is the last in the league. Even in another 10 years, the problem of No. 1 position will still be a disaster.

Do you care about Nash being a star?

38!

Nash is old and useless.

You mean James?

He has never been a serious point guard.

If the Lakers want to compete for the NBA championship, the No. 1 reinforcement work can be regarded as the most critical link.

Now the Lakers management has lost all patience with Nick Van Essekel and sent him away is the will of the people and can't wait.

In the Lakers' "most team", there is now only one "new fish" left on the point guard, named Derek Fisher.

Fisher, the 24th overall pick of the 96 Golden Generation, averaged less than 12 minutes of playing time in the 96-97 season, and scored 3.9 points, 1.5 assists and 1.2 rebounds, with a shooting percentage of 39.7% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30%.

In the 97-98 season, playing time increased to 22 minutes, and he could score 5.8 points, 4.1 assists, 2.4 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks. His shooting percentage increased to 43.7%, and his three-point shooting increased to 38.3%.

This is a simple and ordinary rookie training data.

If you are in a team without ambitions, Fisher's strength is enough.

But the Lakers are not.

The Lakers, which have O'Neal and Kobe, have great ambitions. Even a championship cannot be satisfied, and the Dynasty will not be the limit.

Fisher's strength is obviously not enough to play in the starting position.

...

Lakers training hall.

Tactical conference room.

After the uniform team met and made it clear that the Lakers' No. 1 position in the new season was the hardest hit area, they still decided without hesitation to take action against Nick Van Esseker first, send him away as soon as possible, and then decide on the subsequent reinforcement work.

Even though 1998 was the highest brightest year in Nick Van Esseker's personal resume, he averaged 13.8 points, 6.9 assists and 3 rebounds per game, replaced the lone wolf Marbury as a substitute, and played in the All-Star Weekend game.

Then, General Manager Jerry West took out the trading plan of Nick Van Esseker to discuss the topic, "At present, three teams are more interested in Nick."

The first team is the Suns, who want to exchange with Steve Nash + a second round pick."

"What? Nash?" Li Mu showed a shocked guest and exclaimed, that's Nash!

This deal can be found, that is the future God of Running and Bombing, the existence of two regular season MVPs, and the man who was once called the first point guard.

However, the general manager assistant Mickey Kupchek provided Nash's current personal data, which prompted Li Mu to calm down quickly.

Young man, not old man, can’t afford it.

After all, Nash belongs to the future and only to run and bomb.

The Lakers with O'Neal are destined to play positions, so what else do you need to run and shoot?

"Nash is the 15th overall pick of the 96 generation. In his first season, he averaged 10 minutes of playing time and scored 3.3 points and 2.1 assists. In the second year, his playing time became 22 minutes, and he could score 9.1 points and 3.4 assists..."

Next, if nothing unexpected happens, Nash, who plays as a substitute for Kidd, has no chance to make a comeback with the Suns.

In 1998, the Dallas Mavericks will be traded, and their playing time will average around 30 points per game. As a result, the data will not explode!

In the 98-99 season, Nash averaged 7.9 points and 5.5 assists per game, and in the 99-00 season, he averaged 8.6 points and 4.9 assists per game.

Nash will not take off until the 200-01 season.

4 years!

It took too long to develop!

You know, Nash has never defended, and the name of "not guarding" is not in vain.

With the current defense under the HC rules, Nash cannot play MVP-level strength, even the All-Star data is difficult to play.

Li Mu shook his head and smiled, "Are you wrong? Nash's defense is worse than Nick.

We are trading for the sake of trading!!”

His organization and shooting are good!

Although West knew that Nash had good offensive talent, it was indeed as Li Mu said.

Nash's body and defensive losses, the Lakers really can't afford it.

"The second team is the Dallas Mavericks. Old Nelson likes offensive players and gives Samaki Walker + 30 picks in 1998 to exchange chips."

"This chip is insincere and worse than the Suns's!" Li Mu shook his head again.

The Mavericks are here to play the autumn wind!

Who is Samaki Walker?

He is the 9th pick in the 96 Golden Generation, so why is he the 96 Golden Generation?

There are many stars who have become famous in the 96 Golden Generation.

However, this person is famous for being a "parallel product".

In the 97-98 season, Walker averaged 25 minutes per game and scored 8.9 points and 7.4 rebounds.

What, do you call this data parallel goods?

That's right, it's him. The 9th pick in the 96 Golden Generation. The reason why it's him is because a group of celebrity celebrities emerged behind him.

For example, Kobe, Nash, Payton, O'Neal Jr., Z Big, Dampier and other players.

You don't know there is a kind of harm called contrast?

Compared with the group of celebrities who are powerful behind him, Walker deserves to be called a "parallel".

In fact, with the data he has produced now, it is indeed not a good deal, and it is even vaguely optimistic in the future.

Judging from the current perspective, the Mavericks' bargaining chips are still quite sincere.

However, Li Mu knew that this person’s future was the peak of Walker this year, and it was time to go downhill in the future.

...

West was very patient and had no displeasure on his face, and continued to say, "The third team came from the Nuggets, and gave Tony Barty the 23rd pick this year + the 5th pick last year."

Tony Barty, who is 2.11 meters tall, has a power forward position, and has scored 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in the rookie season, and looks decent.

This plan, according to the historical process, will become the final choice of the Lakers, and then, with the 23rd pick, the rookie Tyron Lu.

If this is the case, it would be better to keep Nick Van Essekel. At least with Nick Van Essekel in the team, the Lakers can still touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals.

You know, Van Esseker is 1.85 meters tall and can't do anything defense, Lu Tayron is 1.83 meters. Do you think every team has a player named Iverson?

Of course, the 98 draft has not started yet, so Li Mu naturally cannot use such a reason to pick on it.

Li Mu spread his hands and sighed, "I can see that our All-Star Nick has a low transaction value!

They all use zeroing in our game, so should the Lakers be the big suspense?”

"Who said no?"

West smiled and said calmly: "Our Lakers are a wealthy team, and the other teams are aiming to play against the rich.

The Lakers are very strong in their bid to win the championship, and no one wants another Michael Jordan in the league to lie on their heads.

If you don’t destroy it, you are already kind and righteous. It is absolutely impossible to assist the Lakers in winning the championship.

Nick's trading chips cannot be better than now.

The reason why these three teams have good bargaining chips is that they all like to play fast-paced teams.

Nick's defense is not regarded as a weakness, but what is more prominent is his offensive advantages!"

"F...K, this is a crime!!" Li Mu suddenly became very angry, with blue veins on his face and his chest fluttered. He must have watched "The Actor's Personal Cultivation".

"We can't forget it like this, we can't do it as they wish. This is not only a stopping the Lakers, but also a waste of O'Neal's peak."

"Yes, we should take the initiative. Tony Barty, when he heard this name, he knew that he was playing football. How could he play basketball well?
