Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 154

Yuan Qingshan is not very satisfied with his performance. Judging from the statistics, it is just the performance of a role player. Kidd advised him not to be too anxious. After all, this is his first season, and it is only the first month. Like O'Neal and LeBron, who are all-powerful as soon as they enter the NBA, they are rare in the entire history of basketball.

Yuan Qingshan can clearly understand this point. What he got is a super evolution system, not a super cheat system. The most important thing is to enjoy the fun of evolution and growth.

The Lakers have another victory, and there are still three bones to chew. The morale of the players is full, and an explosive news seeps out from the team management.

Jim Buss will trade Whiteside and Hibbert in December in exchange for an expiring contract and next year's high draft pick.

This was revealed to Scott privately by an acquaintance in the uniform team. When he received the call, he was watching the replay of the game in the video room. He was so shocked that he locked himself inside for several hours, drank cup after cup of coffee, and left in a daze until two in the morning.

On the way back, he kept thinking that the Lakers' three young masters had obviously achieved initial results. After the first few games, they defeated strong opponents repeatedly and their record was very good.

Returning to the playoffs, coupled with the impact of Kobe's retirement, Jim Buss will definitely earn enough money this season.

Really don't understand why Jim Buss and Kupchak would do this?
For the bet with Jenny?The more this is the case, the more we should cherish Whiteside's potential and his immediate combat power with a small contract. What's the use of getting half of the team's high-ranking picks without energy training?It's just a waste of the youth of the players, and at most they have more bargaining chips in the trading market.

It is really difficult for normal people to understand the old version of Jim Bass' thinking.

He was the one who signed Hibbert in the first place, and now he is the one who will regret it in more than a month.

Back home, Scott didn't go to bed directly, but went into the bathroom with vodka. This news not only made Scott confused about the future of the team, but also even more confused about his own future.

Dismantling the existing reasonable core lineup, sacrificing this season, and achieving the goal of winning another champion as they revealed at the beginning?

If this is the case, then the day when I will be thrown out as a scapegoat is not far away.

After coming to the Lakers for two years, Scott's record is indeed very unsatisfactory, but he thinks he has done his best, and now he has no desire to fight.

The battle is imminent, and Scott doesn't want to tell Kobe or the third young master this news, although there is a truth in the league: business is business, and players are commodities in front of capital.

But as the head coach, he knows that this is too cruel and unfair to the players.

It is impossible to block this kind of news. In just two days, the idea of ​​Jim Buss spread in the management of the Lakers.

Laughlin found Jenny Buss anxiously and told her best friend the news of the explosion.

Jenny Buss had an expected expression. In her words, Jim Buss would not be called Jim Buss if he didn't do something. Since the draft lottery, this guy hasn't shown up for a few months. Calculating the time, it's time for him to stand up and show his presence.

Laughlin didn't get any useful information from Jenny Buss. Judging from Jenny's attitude, she didn't seem to care. It must not be because she no longer cares about the Lakers. Then there is only one reason. Jim Buss' actions are within Jenny's calculations, and they are not out of bounds.

Jeanie Buss is indeed a better fit at the helm for the Lakers than Jim Buss.

On the other hand, Laughlin hesitated for a long time whether she should tell coach Scott about this matter.

When the Lakers' good news came in New Orleans, Laughlin finally made up his mind. He must tell the current head coach the news, because he has to be responsible to the team and to this serious and hard-working head coach.

On the phone, Coach Scott just sighed heavily. He could understand Laughlin, and Laughlin could understand him too. The two of them are one of the few in the team management who are still earnestly fulfilling their promises to Old Bath. During the critical period when the Bath family siblings were fighting for power, the two of them always maintained a fair heart and considered issues from the overall perspective of the team.

Jim Buss and Kupchak moved quickly, and they claimed to have contacted several teams that needed a big center.

Come on, don't lie, Scott pinched the so-called interested teams from Laughlin, and at a glance he saw that Jim Buss was going for the lottery: Philadelphia 76ers, Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, and strategic partner Minnesota Timberwolves.

Scott looked at the roster and wanted to laugh. If there is no accident, these teams will be the top five picks. Want to rely on Whiteside to get back to the top five?What a joke.

Whiteside's contract is not big, and he is a good immediate combat power. The transaction value can be rated as B.

Hibbert's contract is only one year. If there is no accident, no team will renew his contract at a price of 1500 million. There is a problem with his attitude. After trading, he can at least be a backup center. Even if he is on the bench as an expiring contract, he can be rated as C.

If the top five picks are evaluated as S, then the Lakers must fully compensate the trade partner in other aspects.

The combined contracts of the gossip transactions add up to about 2000 million, which means that if the Lakers want to get a high-ranking draft pick, they must swallow a junk contract or a premium contract of about 2000 million.

A formula can be established here, B grade + C grade = S+ grade?
This question mark can be understood as that the Lakers want to receive at least -S level players, which means: the contract amount is particularly large, at least more than 2000 million, and the contract period has more than 4 years left. In the last year, the player option is completely unable to play, or even a cancer on the team.

Probably such a person.

So after some analysis, Scott and Laughlin are even more difficult to understand.

The current Whiteside can only switch to a lottery sign plus a small garbage contract at most. If Hibbert is forced to be tied, then the burden thrown from the opposite side will definitely lock up the Lakers' space for more than three years in the future.

In this case, even if Kobe's retirement can clear up some space, the Lakers will not be able to sign two super giants at the same time.

What Jim Buss did was to personally destroy his original plan.
