The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 105 Kobe's Attitude!Invitation from Bath!
That's the godfather of the Lakers, his own man with purple-gold blood flowing through his body!
Kupchak believes that the old man who loves the Lakers will never harm the interests of the Lakers.

In his eyes, West is always the most trustworthy person.

This is why he chose to call West when he was struggling.

Seeing this quotation, Kupchak quickly thought of the information disclosed by West before.

If the Grizzlies want to overthrow and rebuild, they will inevitably need a new core to build the team around.

And Zhang Bolong is the most popular young man in the league today, and at the same time he is not a non-sale product of the Lakers, which perfectly fits the needs of the Memphis people.

As for the player the Lakers really coveted—Grizzlies boss Paul Gasol, he is still recovering from his injury and cannot be directly used as a bargaining chip. This deal can also be regarded as an advance deposit.

After all, the NBA is a business league, not only for playing basketball, but also for being sophisticated.

The Lakers sell this favor now, and when the time comes to exchange for Gasol, it will be smooth sailing.

That's why Kupchak didn't turn down the deal.

Another offer, the Sacramento native, had no twists and turns.

Straightforward and seductive enough.

The Kings proposed that they could use Kevin Martin or Brad Miller as the main body to exchange with Zhang Bolong.

Last season, Martin, who served as a shooting guard, was the sixth man of the Kings, averaging 10.8 points per game.

But after starting this season, Martin performed hotly and performed amazingly. His scoring average soared to 20.2 points per game and he became a reliable attacker.

More importantly, he is only 23 years old in the third grade, and he is adapting and willing to accept the position of the sixth man team.

If he is replaced as Kobe's substitute, then the Lakers' offensive firepower on the bench will no longer have any problems.

And Brad Miller is also a rare supporting center in today's league. He has comprehensive skills and excellent supporting ability. As the central axis of Princeton's tactical system, he is known as "the largest point guard."

This can meet Jackson's needs for the team's inside support ability.

It can be said that the King's two bargaining chips are exactly on the heart of the Lakers.

Kupchak imagined the luxurious combination of Bynum + Gasol + Odom + Kobe + Martin or Miller in his mind, and the heat wave in his heart was already stirring.

The next one is an offer from the same city team, the Los Angeles Clippers.

Because they always live in the shadow of the Lakers, the Clippers have always been keen to compete with the Lakers for stars.

In 2004, the conflict between the OK combination was highlighted. At that time, Kobe was very angry with the Lakers and publicly stated that he could foresee himself playing for the Clippers.

If it weren't for West talking to him many times like a father, and the Lakers also chose to send O'Neal to the Heat, Kobe might really put on the Clippers jersey.

Now, the Clippers have set their minds on Zhang Bolong again.

They seem to have gotten some wind in advance, so they sent a handsome offer.

After all, Elgin Baylor, the general manager of the Clippers, is also a legend of the Lakers. It is normal to have some connections within the team.

But Kupchak subjectively does not want to trade Zhang Bolong to the Clippers.

Although Zhang Bolong has fans all over the United States, the fans who love him the most are of course Los Angeles, where the home team is located.

The city almost considered Zhang Bolong their new favorite.

If Zhang Bolong switches to a team in the same city, then there will definitely be some Lakers fans who will turn to pay attention to the Clippers game.

He is unwilling to do this kind of behavior of supporting the enemy.

Putting the Clippers' offer aside, Kupchak stretched.

Next, is the real highlight and the most sincere offer.

From the Golden State Warriors.

In fact, the quotation they gave is not a quotation.
It's a blank cheque.

Chris Mullin did not propose who should be the subject of the transaction,

He directly stated,
Whoever the Lakers fancy, pick whatever you want.

As long as the alliance allows and complies with the rules,
All Warriors players can be used as bargaining chips to trade Zhang Bolong.

Now, the culprit is Kubchak.

"Who should it be, Baron Davis? Or..."

Mr. Ku scratched his head and turned on the live broadcast of the game.

On the screen, Zhang Bolong made a wonderful fake pass to Kobe, and after attracting two defenders, Kobe passed back to Zhang Bolong, who picked the basket and wiped the board.

The Lakers lead the Nets with a score of 64:48.

"These two people are getting more and more in harmony..."

He decided to talk to Kobe about his views after the game.

……

After a hearty victory, Kobe sat on the sofa in the general manager's room.

His face was livid, making Kupchak, who was opposite him, uncomfortable.

"At least you should ask for my opinion." Kobe said coldly in a low voice.

"It's too late, Kobe, these are just some initial offers."

Kupchak said honestly.

Compared with Zhang Bolong, Kobe is the real and only king and treasure of this Lakers team, and this is someone he cannot offend no matter what.

"I hope you can know that no matter whether this transaction can be made or not, my purpose is to hope that the Lakers can be stronger, and we can take back that golden trophy."

Kobe was silent for a while, and asked:
"Does Jerry know? Don't you need to ask the dragon's opinion?"

"Jerry's getting old, you know, Kobe, he's not involved in the management of the team anymore. As for Long, I'll have a good chat with him."

"Dragon is good, Mitch, you can tell he's going to be an All-Star soon!"

"I know, but his growth will definitely make you sacrifice, and even sacrifice each other, you know what I mean, Kobe."

"I don't think so!" Bryant stood up, "Which teams offered the offer? Who would they exchange for? Yao Ming? Or James!"

"Kobe, you need to calm down..."

Kupchak touched the sweat on his forehead,

"Warriors, they can pay a team price, which means we can get Davis!
And the Kings, they're willing to trade Martin or Miller, and the Grizzlies, Jerry can help us get Gasol—”

"I don't like this deal."

"But Kobe, do you and Dragon really match? Maybe, he also wants to be the core of a team?"

at the same time,

Just as Zhang Bolong walked out of the Staples Center,
An extremely luxurious black limousine stopped directly in front of him.

"Hello, Long, I am Mr. Bath's butler."

"Buss... Jerry Buss? My boss?"

"Yes, your boss." The old man smiled, "Mr. Bass would like to invite you to be a guest."

　Within two chapters, the transfer is settled, and the main drama begins.
