Chapter 1074 The Best Choice for Spatial Insiders
Although the Clippers currently have only two players on the injury list, they are two very important players on both ends of the offense and defense, the perimeter defense Hill and the double-double machine Love that can open up space.

Hill's injury is easy to say. Basically, he will be able to return to the game in about a week, but Love's injury seems to be absent for a long time.

Judging from the treatment recommendations given by the previous team doctor, it would take at least three to four weeks.

Especially in the case of the Clippers' lack of internal rotation players, Love's injury has indeed had a great impact on the team.

Referring to Brand's injury last year, it can be predicted that if the Clippers want to keep their place in the playoffs, they must work hard to strengthen the inside.

And that's exactly what the team is doing.

"We can sign a few players who may be cut by other teams, and use the free agent contract to claim them~!!"

Lan Shengli proposed to the general manager.

However, the general manager seems to have no idea about strengthening the inside line.

"I think we are eager to strengthen the inside. During Love's injury, Jordan and Bass will definitely increase their playing time. If they can't find helpers, these two people will also increase the risk of injury. That's the worst. A vicious circle~!!"

Lan Shengli responded hastily.

"I understand what you said, but at least you need to list a candidate for me to operate~?!"

The general manager responded.

"There are many candidates, but most of them are backed by long-term contracts and uncertain factors, so after my analysis and observation, there are two players who are most suitable for our reinforcement at this stage~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"Which two~?!"

Hearing this, the general manager stretched his neck and asked.

"Jazz center Okur and Suns center Frye~!!"

Lan Shengli responded immediately.

Seeing Lan Shengli's firm and fast answering state, it should be that he has been preparing for reinforcement for a long time.

"These two players~, um~!!, they can be considered~!"

The general manager listened and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Both players belong to the kind of space-based inside players. They can not only play the role of protecting the frame in the inside, but also open up space on the offensive end and go to the outside to shoot~. In terms of function, they can completely fill the vacancy of Love~! !"

Lan Shengli immediately analyzed it.

"I think you're going to say no~!!"

After listening to the general manager, he immediately followed up.

"Hahaha~!!, the general manager understands me~!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli immediately said with a smile.

"You're right, I do have to say but~!!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Shengli immediately responded with a big smile.

"But the situation of these two players is different. For Frye, he still has two years of contract with the Suns, so if we want to get him, we have to pay some players of the same level or a first-round pick. , But considering the team's current personnel structure and future signing situation, and the Suns are not in a state of selling Frye, it is not so easy to get Frye through a trade~!!"

Lan Shengli analyzed.

"Yeah~!!, Frye's style of play and the Suns' style of play can be said to be a perfect fit, so the Suns may not be willing to send Frye away~"

When the general manager heard this, he also sighed.

"That's right, and another player, Okur, has a great chance~!"

Lan Shengli responded immediately.

"Oku, in the past few seasons, he played really well in the Jazz and was selected as an All-Star, but these few seasons seem to have been slowly changing~!!"

The general manager touched his chin and analyzed.

"Totally correct, because the Jazz is currently in a semi-reconstruction state, so Okur's status in the team is really not that high~ This season has completely out of the rotation lineup, only in a few games of garbage time. Will be sent to play, I think the Jazz is completely open to trading Okur, I even heard that the Jazz intends to cut Okur directly to make room for a mid-season trade~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"If it is cut off directly, that would be the best result for us~!!, we can sign Okur directly by claiming~!!"

The general manager spoke excitedly.

"It is true to say so, but I think Okur is a very good addition to many teams, especially championship-level teams~!!, so if Okur really becomes a free agent If so, our Clippers may not have an absolute chance to sign him~!!"

Lan Shengli said worriedly.

"It makes sense too~"

The general manager listened and nodded.

"So the safest way is for us to take the initiative to contact the Jazz and provide some trading strategies so that we can get Okur more safely~!!"

Lan Shengli began to analyze again.

"After all, compared to laying off Okur in vain, I think the Jazz must also want to get something in return~!"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"That makes sense~, then what kind of bargaining chip do you think is appropriate for us~?!"

The general manager continued to ask.

"I'm really not sure about this. After all, Okur is also a negative equity player with the Jazz, so we probably don't need to put up too many chips to get Okur's ~, maybe a second round, plus The last young player should be fine~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"To be honest, I am now very cautious about matters related to draft picks. Because of Love's deal, we basically have no draft picks to get, so in this case, for a Okur, send a second round , it still makes me feel more distressed~!!"

The general manager was confused.

"There is a saying in China that you can't bear a child and you can't get a wolf~!!, the value of the second round of picks is really not very great for us, and Okur still has a very good immediate combat power, and it is our ideal space. The best choice for a big insider, so I think it’s really no problem~!! If you switch to a second-round pick, it’s really a good fit~!!”

Lan Shengli responded.

"Okay~, I'll think about it again, and discuss it with the director of the basketball affairs department~!"

The general manager responded.

"It's best to be able to confirm it as soon as possible ~!!, after all, we are really short of a center right now~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Understood~, but if I can sign other insiders as free agents, maybe I will choose to do that~!!"

The general manager continued.

"This is your right~!!, the space-type insider is the best choice, and if it is a blue-collar insider, there is absolutely no problem~!!"

Lan Shengli responded immediately.
