Chapter 1229: Picking up Leaks in the Free Market

In the Clippers training base, the team held a press conference for the new general manager Cole.

At the meeting, Cole answered various questions from the reporters.

In the process of answering these questions, Cole showed great ambition and vigorous desire.

"Since the new century, only the Lakers have completed three consecutive championships. After that, no team can achieve a dynasty. Now, the Clippers have the opportunity to do this. I want to help the Clippers create another dynasty~!"

These words made Lan Shengli and Ballmer, especially Ballmer, very happy.

After all, as the CEO of Microsoft before, Ballmer achieved great success there, and now, Ballmer certainly hopes to continue to bring this success to the Clippers.

The press conference is still going on, and Kerr is still answering questions.

"Ballmer, Cole, these are all synonymous with success. It seems that the Clippers are really going to succeed, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli quickly left the scene, thinking and sighing.

Because the training camp ended not long ago, Lan Shengli returned directly to his office.

"There are still a lot of vacancies in the big roster, and there are very few players available in the free agent market. This is not easy~"

Lan Shengli looked at the current team roster and thought to himself.

"Since there is a shortage of people, sign them as soon as possible, my young coach Blue~!!"

Suddenly, Cole pushed open the cracked door, walked in, and said to Lan Shengli.

"Oh~!!, does our new general manager still have the ability to double up~?!"

Lan Shengli looked at Cole with a very surprised expression, asked half-jokingly, and stood up unconsciously.

"Haha~!!, don't tell others, or I will be taken away by the FBI~"

Cole also responded with a smile.

It's that easy talking between two people with a sense of humor.

"Nice to meet you~!!, Young Commander~!!!"

"I'm also very happy to be with you, I believe our cooperation will be happy and successful ~!!"

Cole and Lan Shengli talked and embraced.

This is the first time two people have such face-to-face communication and zero-distance contact.

After hugging and greeting, the two sat down quickly.

"The press conference is over~?!"

Lan Shengli asked Cole.

"Yeah~, after finishing what the media and the boss most want to hear, my mission is complete~"

Cole replied with a smile.

No matter who he is talking to, no matter what the situation is, no matter what the content is, Cole always maintains that benevolent smile on his face, a smile that makes people feel very relaxed.

Cole's calm smile is also a manifestation of his personality charm.

"Haha~, that's right, like that kind of press conference, sometimes after answering, I don't even know what I said~, haha~!!"

Lan Shengli replied with a smile.

"Yeah~, there's no way~"

Cole shook his head, sighing.

"So, from now on, you will officially start working as a general manager of the Clippers, right~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"A week ago, after I signed the five-year contract, I started working as a general manager~!"

Cole replied.

"Five years~?! Oh my god~, Ballmer really trusts Cole~ It's unbelievable that a manager who has no successful cases before signed directly for five years~"

When Lan Shengli heard about it, he immediately thought about it.

"What are you thinking, young master~?!"

Cole turned his head, looked at Lan Shengli, and asked.

"Oh~, I was thinking, since you started working a week ago, you should have some work results~?!"

Lan Shengli replied adaptably.

"Haha~!!, I heard that talking with Bruce is a kind of enjoyment, but now it seems that it is indeed the case~"

When Cole heard this, he immediately responded with a smile.

"Just like you sighed just now, the Clippers now have only 9 players with official contracts on the roster, and we can sign another six players to fill the vacancies in the roster, although it seems that six players are good Supplement, but considering that the current player structure of the Clippers is mostly young players, so if you want to add six players, you need to be more cautious~!!"

Cole responded.

"Um~, um~, it makes sense~, I thought so too before, and that's why the team didn't sign a formal contract with any player during the entire training camp. Our young players have already Enough is enough, no more~!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Yes, so, in my opinion, the most important thing we should do now is to pick up leaks in the free agent market~!!"

As he spoke, Cole took out a folded piece of paper from the secret pocket of his suit, and handed it to Lan Shengli.

"So this is your list of leaks that you have confirmed this week~?!"

Lan Shengli looked at the paper, then at Cole, and asked.

Cole smiled and nodded.

Seeing this, Lan Shengli quickly opened the folded paper in front of him.

"They're all familiar names~!!, these people haven't signed a contract yet~?!, some people can't believe it~!"

Lan Shengli glanced at the list roughly and sighed.

"Yeah, they really didn't sign. There may be various reasons, but they just didn't sign~, and I think they are the only players left in the free agent market that are suitable for our team~"

Cole responded.

"In this roster, there are a few players that I am not optimistic about. Maybe they are capable enough, but in general, they are not suitable for the Clippers. But these few players, I think they are okay~"

Lan Shengli thought to himself, took out a pen, and put a checkmark under the name of the player he liked.

Lan Shengli quickly finished the painting and gave it to Cole.

"Wow~, I want to say that we coincidentally, my favorite list may be more than yours, but I have choices for those you choose~!!"

Cole looked at it and immediately responded.

I saw Corey Brewer, Ryan Hollins, Ronnie Turiaf, and Randy Foye on the list of being marked.

As Lan Shengli said before, they are all familiar names in the NBA.

"First of all, let's talk about Brewer~, this striker who just won the championship with the Mavericks, although his physical confrontation is weaker, his fast break ability and defensive awareness are still good, and he is very mobile. He won the NCAA and NBA championships at the same time, and his aura of good luck is also very interesting~!!"

Lan Shengli started his speech.

Cole was on the side, listening with an admiring expression.
