Chapter 646
Magician is the executive president of the Lakers. The biggest advantage of the Bass family is that it will not interfere with the work of the employees under him unless necessary, so he is the most powerful person in the operation of the Lakers team.
The magician is happy to see the power struggle between the team's first consultant and the general manager, so that he can have complete control over the team. When operations and execution come together, there is no need for the president of Magician to make decisions. He, the president, is just a decoration, so he hopes to see that Pelinka and Kupchak have different ideas, so that he can make decisions in the middle Chance.
But generally speaking, the magician is more inclined to Kupchak's side. After all, he used to be a teammate, and the relationship was not bad later, so although the magician took away Kupchak's right to speak in some player positions, the overall Speaking of Kupchak's general manager position is very stable.
But now the Magic has to think about the future of Antetokounmpo and LaVine in the Lakers.
According to common sense, according to the player's style of play, the magician's first thought is to keep LaVine.
This is an obvious thing. From the rookie training after the 2013-2014 season, the Lakers have decided that LaVine is the Lakers' future point guard candidate.
But more than a year has passed, and things have changed a lot, which is the talent shown by Antetokounmpo.
It was okay last season. Antetokounmpo just showed a talent that can become an All-Star and build a team as a core player. To put it bluntly, there are a lot of players like the Lakers. Wen, McCollum, Liu Ren, Green, Whiteside, including the old ones, Gasol, Kobe... several, and later joined Monroe.
At that time, Antetokounmpo was just a high-quality bargaining chip for the Lakers.
But this year, Antetokounmpo, who has continued to improve, has begun to show the talent that a historical-level superstar should have. People have already attributed his talent to James and the magician.
This is why Pelinka has a reason to compete for the right to speak in this position. Although LaVine is good, he can at most become a weakened version of Kobe, which is still weakened by a level, and may have the potential of a superstar.
Of course, this is not to say that LaVine has poor potential. Sometimes 60 rookies a year may not be able to produce a player with superstar potential. LaVine is the kind of superstar embryo that may be the only one in a year.
And Antetokounmpo is the embryo of the kind of superstar who may not have a superstar in ten years.
In the past, the eyes of magicians were also on LaVine, a young man who was very similar to Kobe in terms of physical fitness and style of play. LaVine can probably be alone.
However, now the Lakers management finds that Antetokounmpo has improved faster. Antetokounmpo entered the NBA a year earlier than LaVine, so he naturally has a little more experience and time to improve.
The most important point is that Antetokounmpo is as old as LaVine!Antetokounmpo was only born 3 months earlier than LaVine, and there is no age gap between the two. Antetokounmpo obviously feels too mature, and Antetokounmpo is more malleable. The direction of development has been fixed, which is the Kobe Bryant with a weakened version of the organization and an enhanced version.
The magician really started to think about who will go and who will stay between Antetokounmpo and LaVine this time.
Keeping Antetokounmpo is actually not bad. LaVine can also trade for a good return, but LaVine has already put on the No. 8 jersey of the Lakers and told everyone that LaVine is going to succeed Kobe. Yes, this is very embarrassing. No other team has raised questions about LaVine's trade. They are all consulting about Antetokounmpo.
As for both of them staying, the magician said that there is no need to consider it at all...
It's impossible!Both of them have already begun to overlap. If it wasn’t for defending the title, and they both belonged to the same brokerage company, the conflict between the two of them would have erupted long ago. Now, the two of them plus Clarkson are taking turns to take turns because of the overlapping positions of the two. , Both of them need a lot of playing time to show their abilities, so taking a break is just an unavoidable solution, both of them have ambitions to become superstars.
Among the three point guards of the Lakers, Clarkson, who is the least talented, is the safest, because he is positioned as the sixth man. Now he often starts because D'Antoni doesn't know whether to let LaVine or Antetokounmpo sit firmly in the starting lineup. Better, so Clarkson starts most of the time.
In addition to the inability to allocate playing time and the ambitions of the two, there is also a very important point, which is salary.
Whiteside's 5-year contract renewal with an average annual contract of at least 1800 million has already begun. Liu Ren doesn't need to talk about 2000 million in the future. In addition, Green's big contract is close to 1500 million, which is already more than 5000 million. To maintain the dominance of the inside bench group, Gasol, Monroe, Biyombo, and Nance Jr. will add up to more than 1000 to close to 2000 million. Kobe’s retirement will free up a lot of space, but that is for future shooting guards. .
For the Lakers, the reason why they don’t have to make a decision in such a hurry is that Antetokounmpo is only in the third grade, and LaVine is only in the second grade. If you really want to say that there is enough time for the Lakers to choose slowly, but the magician thinks It is still necessary to make a choice after this season. First, it is to lay a solid foundation for the stable development of the team in the future, so as not to delay the good time when the team now has so many stars.
The second is to release one of LaVine and Antetokounmpo. Don't delay the development of the young people who go out of the deal, and don't delay the development of the young people who stay at home. This is good for everyone.
Moreover, who said that it is impossible to come back after a certain year of trading?This is the Lakers!
However, the magician still supported the previous plan, leaving LaVine and sending Antetokounmpo away.
But what Liu Ren said while watching the game made the magician hesitate again.
Recently, the Lakers management has often seen Antetokounmpo and Liu Ren mixed together, and the relationship seems to be getting better and better.
If, what the magician guesses is if, Antetokounmpo is traded away, Liu Ren is unhappy and leaves, no matter which team the two go to, that team will immediately become the favorite for the championship, isn't it? The magician deliberately exaggerated, but this is the fact. If the two go to any team in the East, that team will immediately become a strong team that can attack the Cavaliers and Knicks. The team's general lineup is not bad. If the two join in and have a good chemical reaction, they will instantly become the favorites for the championship.
And Whiteside has the kind of determined idea of following Liu Ren, just like Sima Zhaozhi's heart. In 2017, Whiteside went to follow Liu Ren and did not renew his contract with the Lakers. The Lakers are basically finished. .
The magician was speechless, being the president of the Lakers is too brain-intensive!It's not human work at all!
……
……
The magician's head was about to explode because of Liu Ren's words, but Liu Ren was enjoying the peace before the war, with his head resting on the big loli's thigh and receiving the big loli's gentle massage.
Regarding the inexplicable emergent emotions towards Song Zuer, Liu Ren was completely suppressed in his heart, and he didn't want to think about it. He didn't want the chick to see that he was thinking of another woman...Girl, it can be said that he is almost an adult Woman, if you let the chick see that she thinks about another woman for a day, even if it's just a very pure thought... who would believe how pure a man thinks about a woman for a day, this woman is still so beautiful.
One thing Liu Ren is good about is that if he can't figure out why, he will choose to put it aside, and maybe one day the answer will appear by himself.
Moreover, the little sister just left, not disappeared, but Liu Ren felt that Song Zuer's departure was very abrupt.
The earth is so big, and you can fly to any place with modern civilization in 24 hours. It is actually not that difficult to find someone.
But...Liu Ren still feels that it seems a bit weird now. He was pillowed by the big loli with his head on the big loli's lap. When the chick passed by just now, he didn't express any opinions, but asked the big loli what she thought. What snacks do she want? She has to go out and bring them back when she comes back.
Maybe he regards the big loli as a family... Liu Ren guessed like this, and then enjoyed the gentle massage of the big loli with peace of mind.
Today the Lakers only had a simple joint practice in the morning, because tomorrow they will host another super team in the West, the San Antonio Spurs, and the schedule is so tight recently, so the training intensity is not high, and everyone is free to rest in the afternoon.
The current record of the Lakers is 37 wins and 7 losses. The Spurs have won 15 consecutive victories, and now they are 36 wins and 9 losses. Since the Christmas game a month ago, they have not lost a game. The feeling is that the championship will not be able to run among the three teams of Lake Ma Yong.
This is not to look down on the East, but an objective reason. The strongest Cavaliers in the East have just won 32 games and have lost 13 games. The record is 32 wins and 13 losses. The Knicks, second in the East, are 29 wins and 15 losses. The third Raptors are 27 wins and 17 losses.
The record of the top three in the East is not too bad compared with the top three in the West.
The worse the East is, it is good for James' Cavaliers, they can break through the East with less effort.
In the same way, if the west is strong as a whole, the internal fighting will become very fierce. Maybe the east will meet a bloody opponent in the end, so it will be cheap.
The Lakers played against the Spurs once before this season, but they don't know what level the Spurs will be when they really play against the Lakers, because the last time the two teams played against each other, both teams rested most of their players, and they almost didn't The bald president Adam Silva was pissed off.
