The Los Angeles Lakers got Chris Paul.

They used Kevin Martin, Stephen Nash and first-round draft picks in 2013 and 2015.

This is indeed something that caught people off guard. Less than a month after acquiring Stephen Nash, the Los Angeles Lakers sent him to New Orleans without even holding a press conference for the former MVP.

This is not a decent thing to do, or even moral.

On the one hand, the media marveled at the Lakers' trading ability; on the other hand, they defended Stephen Nash, believing that the Lakers did not give enough respect to the Son of the Wind.

But on the other hand, everyone must admit that this is the NBA and this is business. From a business point of view, the Lakers made a shrewd choice beyond their capabilities. If they use two big insiders to replace Yao Huang and Martin, it can still

Calling it a transaction of equal value, it would not be an exaggeration to define this transaction as robbery.

New Orleans was looted in chaos.

Of course, this is inseparable from Chris Paul's strong personal subjective opinions.

Since last season, Chris Paul has been impatient. The separation from D'Antoni has made him extremely eager for the championship. Moreover, in the competition with Li Zhen, his mentality has become more and more impetuous, and he has become more and more impetuous.

He increasingly wanted to leave the 'tiny' city of New Orleans. When his banana boat brothers formed super teams one after another, he couldn't bear to live in a corner.

When the Lakers extended an olive branch, he was like a young woman who had been empty for a long time, impatiently making a bowl of medicine for her husband.

Now, he finally got his wish.

He obtained a Los Angeles household registration.

And formed a super Big Three combination with Kobe and Yao Huang.

These three people respectively represent the pinnacle of the three traditional lawful camps, the traditional center, the classical shooting guard, and the super point guard.

With a clear division of labor, they are far more worthy of favor than the Boston Big Three and the Knicks Big Four.

And it made all the fans around the world who love positional offense go crazy.

Everyone feels that the Los Angeles Lakers have formed the basic elements of a dynasty.

The Los Angeles Clippers, who had just won the championship, were outshone in terms of popularity.

Li Zhen called Kobe Bryant and gave him a good scolding.

"What you did is very unethical."

Li Zhen is referring to using Stephen Nash as a bargaining chip.

Nash came here to win the championship, but in the end, you were lucky. In order to upgrade to the No. 1 position, you directly sent him out for Chris Paul. Then he might as well just stay in Phoenix. If he stays here, he is still a city hero.

Kobe is also very sorry.

But...Chris Paul smells so good.

Just like the temptation of the devil, the Lakers management and owners had somewhat extreme thoughts after being eliminated by the Clippers in the first round of the playoffs.

This also leads to the collapse of their moral bottom line when they experience huge temptations.

This is a move that makes them dig their own graves.

People say that a thousand pieces of gold buys horse bones.

It is strategically important for the Lakers to recruit veterans like Stephen Nash. Many veterans are waiting for an opportunity and are ready to defect.

Now it's good...to sort this out.

In the future, the old path of veterans joining will be basically cut off.

So, the Clippers are ready to attack.

They quickly traded Otero to the Mavericks for Jason Kidd.

Jason Kidd was very happy. After the deal was reached, he immediately announced that he would opt out of his contract and signed a three-year, $10 million contract with the Clippers.

Everyone is very considerate.

And things were done very decently.

The Clippers used their idle resources to replace Otero, who was still in his prime, for the aging Jason Kidd, giving him the status of being married to the media. After Jason Kidd arrived, he gave up the last year of his $8 million contract and signed with the Clippers.

Three-year 10 million contract.

Although the total contract amount has increased, the Clippers' employment costs have been greatly reduced.

Both sides get what they need.

This deal made everyone look at the Clippers with admiration, and Isiah Thomas of the admissions office was very busy. The two Los Angeles teams formed a very big impact in comparison.

As a result, many veterans have no choice but to marry the Clippers.

Ron Artest even warned Isiah Thomas: If you don't want me, I will tattoo your name on my face.

Hearing these words, Isiah Thomas felt itchy in his heart. He was not a serious straight man.

And when the Clippers tried their best to deal with the veteran, the four young men of the Clippers made news again.

Paul George, who originally seemed very honest, actually made some heavy news.

He actually held a carnival party with wine and meat in his newly purchased villa.

After being exposed by the media, he refused to admit it until more direct photos were produced.

Suddenly, the situation in Los Angeles changed dramatically.

Many people wonder if it is because the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

The Clippers' style issues have come under fire from the media.

Li Zhen was shot while lying in the presidential suite in Shanghai. He was very angry about why Paul George did this. He usually looked very honest, but why didn't he know that women were a disaster?

He had just embarked on the road to stardom and was lost in the bustling Los Angeles.

When Li Zhen learned that Paul George and the others had entered the vanity fair circles in Los Angeles, and that they were brothers with those playboys as potential NBA stars, he felt deeply worried.

There are too many successful players in the NBA who have fallen under the corruption of fame and fortune. Li Zhen is very afraid that these young guys who have just started their careers will be ruined by their sensual life.

Moreover, one thing is very clear: among the four young men, Paul George, DeAndre Jordan, Blake Griffin, and Gordon Hayward, the one whose style of play has been most influenced by him is Paul George.

He is a very typical outside star, and he will definitely develop into a comprehensive core on both offense and defense in the future.

He made rapid progress in his first year.

But in the future, the ball rights he needs will inevitably increase significantly, so that he can improve more quickly.

Li Zhen turned over in the soft big bed.

He made a decision: Let's trade.

He hopes that Paul George will go to a certain Midwestern city to be the absolute core, stay away from the prosperity of Los Angeles, and focus all his energy on the court. Super outside players are fed with unlimited firing rights. Paul George has this talent, so he should do this

.

Then, Li Zhen had a phone call with Paul George.

The two chatted on the overseas phone for more than an hour.

Paul George first resisted, then was reluctant to give up, and then slowly accepted it.

Because he knows that Li is really good for him. It is not to expel him because of his mess, but to arrange the best path for his future. He himself also understands that if he goes to be the absolute leader of a rebuilt team, his skills will improve.

Be fully promoted and make more money.

So, at the end of the phone call, he thanked Li Zhen.

He said to Li Zhen: You will always be my eldest brother. This is true in all aspects.

Li Zhen said euphemistically: On the court, you can follow my example. Off the court... there is no need.

Paul George claims that he still needs to learn from his boss in all aspects.

Li Zhen said frankly: You don’t have this kind of strength. I never spend money on parties. If you really want to learn from me, you should improve your charm and let famous women actively pursue you and go to great lengths.

sleep with you.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone: I have learned a lesson.

…

After it was determined that Paul George should be sent to a place that is more suitable for him, the management's work became complicated.

Because there are not many teams that meet the conditions, there are even fewer teams that can provide high-quality chips.

At this time, the news media suddenly broke a piece of news that attracted Li Zhen's attention.

Stephen Nash wanted the Hornets to buy out his contract, but the Hornets refused.

Since the sudden departure of Chris Paul, the Hornets have fallen into a situation without a star and without hope.

Of course they have to stick to Nash. If Nash buys out and leaves again, the team will not only have no hope, but they will also have no star who can attract fans.

At the same time that Li Zhen saw the news, Isiah Thomas was sending an offer from the Cleveland Cavaliers.

They are willing to trade No. 1 pick Irving with the Clippers.

This fully demonstrates the value of Paul George.

But, Owen.
