Chapter 196 The Arrival of Coach Z

The Lakers parade is over and the players are on vacation!This summer belongs to the Lakers!But for Thomas, the real test begins now!All the high-level executives already knew that after the end of this flourishing age, it would be the NBA's first major crisis!
The NBA lockout has happened unstoppably!And everything on the team must be completed before the lockout begins!Otherwise, all the consequences cannot be borne by individuals!

The conversation between Thomas and Jerry West, on the 3rd day after the game, Thomas expressed his views!It is in such a season that everyone has no experience, the more adequate the preparation, the smoother the competition in the new season will be!This is known without experience!

Thomas talked a lot with Jerry, and Jerry couldn't help but think a lot in his heart when he saw this subordinate who needed to be supported by himself before, and when he could have a high status in the Lakers team after half a season!
"Manager! We need to maintain the integrity of our team! We need a player who can lead the team to fight on the bench! Our West can say that in the future, we can win the championship if we win the Western Conference! Jazz, The Spurs, Trail Blazers, and Coach Z, who just came to the NBA, are our worst enemies! Next season, we must not have a significant decline!"

"Well! Don't worry! Now that you have won the championship with this lineup! We will use this lineup as our skeleton! We will become even stronger! Is there anything else you want to say?" Jerry said without hesitation!This is a matter of common sense!
"Manager! I want to talk about one person's problem! Our biggest problem!" Thomas thought for a long time, but still wanted to pick this problem up!

"I know what you want to say! Let's arrange the things that can be decided first! Important issues, let's talk to the boss! Let's talk before the draft!" Jerry interrupted Thomas's words!

"Okay! The players I need are given to you! These players are very suitable for my team! Hehe! Please!" Thomas is not a serious person, as long as he can see the problem!
"Thomas! What will your future look like? It seems that you already have the answer to this question! You said it without hesitation at this moment, but I am not ready!" Jerry looked at Thomas After leaving, he muttered to himself!

……

"Hey, coach! The guy you're following is in Minnesota! My God, his job requirements require player trading rights and draft options. It's crazy. Coach, you don't really get these rights. Woolen cloth!"

"My team is Los Angeles! If Jerry hears your words, you will be finished! But this guy is finally here! The next home has been confirmed!" Thomas looked at the resumes of his players , thinking deeply!

"The biggest threat has been determined to be the Timberwolves! Who is there? Garnett? Well, a very good choice! Marbury? Now Marbury? Hehe! I wish this guy good luck!"

"If I were him, who would I choose? Who else's potential has not been discovered! The Suns have a guy who is just right! Didn't teacher Nelson choose him this season? But if he chooses this guy, it seems Timberwolves The tactics for this season have been determined!"

"And the rookie of this season seems to have been determined! The person he is staring at seems to have a goal! Although there are many rookies this season, there are very few who can meet our requirements!"

"But it seems that the ratings of the NBA in this world will not drop too much. With me, there is such an ornamental tactic, ha ha! It is so conscious! If Garnett and Stoudemire are compared in terms of defense, they are strong. There are too many! Besides, Garnett is not a rookie! I am very concerned about this guy's ability to assist defense now, what if in the future?"

The celebration after the end of this season is really great. Los Angeles hasn't won a championship in 10 years!And the most important thing is to defeat the former opponent, the current basketball god, Jordan's Bulls!

Basically all Angelenos are cheering!Um!But the real management is busy!How many people can stay in the lineup from last season?

Kevin has decided to retire!In the last season, he won the championship as the main player in the finals, and then retired. This is the best result for him!Barkley decided to play for a few more years until he couldn't play anymore!Jerry West has been working hard to keep Barkley!This is the decision of all the Lakers as a whole!Barkley must stay!Otherwise, how to face a certain team that is getting stronger?

Among the substitutes, it seems that Jackson was poached by Coach Z first!Jackson's contract is a one-year short-term contract after Thomas' arrival, and it's just a contract for 12 people!It is impossible to give him such a big contract, and it is impossible to have him as the main force of the Lakers next season. The Timberwolves are all newcomers, and everything is decided by Coach Z. Give Stephen Jackson a main force agreement. With a multi-year contract and the prestige of Coach Z, it seems that he can't keep this guy!

But the system also gave me compensation!hehe!

Ratliff's excellent performance in the finals, many teams have already contacted the Lakers, now Ratliff needs more playing time to prove himself, what he needs, the Lakers can't give him, there is O'Neal In the Lakers team, he is the starting center. The Lakers just need a qualified substitute!It seems that Ratliff's matter should be resolved as soon as possible!
Jumbari's contract is up!To give him a second contract, this guy is an extremely qualified player, and he is the guarantee of the Lakers' substitute. This season, he doesn't have too many opportunities to perform!I believe that in the next few seasons, it will leave a lot of impressions on many people!This is the perfect candidate for a substitute!
There is no doubt that Fisher will stay. Whether it is the understanding of tactics or the atmosphere of the locker room, whether it is the role of the substitute or the main force, Fisher is the best one, the best part of the team!
Horry's contract has not expired, don't think about it, this guy is formed for the current Lakers!Barkley can't replace his existence!And because of Barkley's age and the particularity of next season, Horry's playing time will not be less!You might even get tired!
Aaron McGee, the offer from the 76ers has come, hmm!It seems that his defensive talent and his ability to not hold the ball have been discovered by the 76ers!The cooperation with AI is really perfect, and it is impossible for the Lakers to stop a person's progress!

But who does the 76ers have?Can it be exchanged with the Lakers?
Jaylens Williams, can this guy be changed?There must be value, and professionalism must be affirmed. Sometimes, it is really impossible for my team to leave him!But in the forward position, his status is not guaranteed!Not much playing time!No matter how you say it, you have to give people a good way to get in and out!Well, if you have a good player, just change it!
There is a person in the Bulls that I like very much, but he is a close confidant of Phil Jackson, Steve Kerr, a good manager in the future and a good player now!This guy who caused Thomas a lot of trouble in the finals, huh!This guy is still the target of the Spurs. To weaken others is victory, right?And this guy is completely free!

By the way, there is also Langley, this guy is completely the best player as a backup center!Well, behind O'Neill, very good!But the wages are a bit expensive!Moreover, the problem with the Bulls is that they have too much resentment towards the Lakers!This is a very big problem!
Adding a guy to the discussion with Jerry, um!Ben Wallace!This guy's salary is not high, and he is still in the hands of a Wizards team that is destined to rebuild!The most important point is that the Wizards very much need a defensive striker, which is what the Lakers lack most!It would be even better if it could be exchanged with Jerons!
By the way, there is another guy!Cole's replacement is the guy who worked with Thomas for 11 years, Curry's father!Dell Curry!Um!This guy fits better than any player!And this season he happens to be a completely free agent, and he is old enough!Steady personality, unusually smart, the most wanted member of the Lakers at this time!
