Chapter 969 When Reinforcement Is In Progress (Part [-])
After the opening of the free agent signing market, the Clippers did not go very smoothly. Big-name players failed to come to the City of Angels, which made the Clippers lose the opportunity to directly become a championship-level team.

Coupled with the delay of Lan Shengli and Mia's vacation in Europe, the Clippers are still in a state of failure so far.

Of course, Taylor couldn't let this situation sit idly by. After learning that Lan Shengli had finished his vacation and returned home, Taylor quickly found Lan Shengli.

"The free agents that the team is contacting, you hurry up, you don't have to think about big-name free agents like James, Millsap just reached an extension contract with the Jazz an hour ago, so as time goes by, the remaining free agents There are not many players left~!!"

Taylor said in an urgent tone.

"Indeed~, this year's free agent market is much more lively than usual, but I don't think it's a big deal. After all, our core players are already in the team, and we only need to make minor repairs~"

Lan Shengli said.

Taylor did have some opinions on Lan Shengli's unhurried attitude, but after Lan Shengli's slow explanation and Harden's long-lost "speech", Taylor understood.

"Let me take a look~, which players haven't found their next home~"

Lan Shengli flipped through the information on the coffee table and said.

"Felton is a very strong defender, and his style of play is more practical. It is a good choice to be Harden's substitute, but considering that he still has a certain room for improvement, he may not be reconciled to being a substitute. For Farmer, it is He should be able to accept the role of a substitute, and he just won the championship with the Lakers, I think he should be more acceptable to stay in Los Angeles~”

Lan Shengli looked at the player profile and said.

"Who else is there as a guard~?! Oh, by the way, Garcia, who is good at outside shooting, feels like a good choice~, with veteran experience and a certain amount of immediate combat power, I believe the asking price should not be too high." very high~”

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

Taylor on the side listened carefully and took notes.

"Tony Allen is a player I like very much. Although the offensive end seems a bit clumsy, his defensive toughness, the defensive strength and hardness he can bring to the team, and the leadership ability are all obvious to all~"

"Too bad he's already signed with the Grizzlies~"

Taylor reminded.

"Well, the style of play of the Grizzlies complements this guy. I feel like I'm going to be ripped off when I play against the Grizzlies next season~"

Lan Shengli listened, shaking his head and sighing.

"If Millsap renews his contract with the Jazz, then I won't say much~"

Lan Shengli continued flipping through player profiles and talking.

"What's going on with the rest of the players~?!"

Lan Shengli didn't want to do any more useless analysis, so he asked directly.

"Both Frye and Diaw tend to stay with the Suns, and they don't have much other ideas. It may just be a matter of the amount of the contract, while Biedrins has already broken down with the Warriors. It seems that European teams have intentions. We want to bring this Latvian big man back to Europe~, so for now, only Livingston and Bass have made substantive progress in negotiations with us~"

Taylor explained.

"Among them, Livingston is very active and wants to return to the Clippers. He doesn't have much opinion on the contract period and salary. He just wants to chat with you and see his position in the team. ~"

Taylor continued to explain.

"Livingston was selected by the team with the fourth overall pick before, and the team's complex is there. In addition, Livingston is really suitable for the current Clippers. I will meet him as soon as possible, Bass Where is it~?!"

Lan Shengli analyzed and asked again.

"Bath's agent wants a four-year contract, but the general manager can only give it a maximum of two years. The difference is in my heart~"

Taylor explained.

"This matter is easy to handle. Bass' mid-range scoring ability and defensive hardness are what we need very much now. We have to sign him~"

Lan Shengli said.

"Are you going to convince the general manager to give him a four-year contract~?!"

Taylor asked.

"Of course I will find a way, how about this, you help me contact and meet Livingston first, so as not to have long nights and dreams~, first finalize him, and then talk about Bath~"

Lan Shengli said.

"Good~"

Tyler responded, quickly moving into action.

Soon, Lan Shengli and Livingston met directly at the Clippers base, and met alone.

"I like your current hairstyle very much, I think you will be lucky with this hairstyle~"

Lan Shengli said.

"Thank you, young master~"

Livingston shook his head and said.

"How~?!, have you got an answer to my question~?!"

Livingston continued to ask.

"Of course I did, otherwise I wouldn't have found you. First of all, I want to tell you that if you join the Clippers, you can only play the role of the sixth man, or even the seventh man. In the rotation lineup, can you accept this~?!"

Lan Shengli asked.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if I'm the tenth person, but what I want to know is how much playing time I can have~?! Or, what role can I play in the team~?!"

Livingston asked immediately with a serious expression.

"As a player with many years of experience in the NBA, I definitely hope that you can help young players grow and at the same time contribute a certain amount of combat power. Of course, the latter is more important, plus your technical characteristics , I want you to play the role of Harden's backup point guard, playing time ~, because you have a serious injury history, so it is also for the protection of your career, about 18 minutes per game ~"

Lan Shengli said.

Livingston listened, nodding thoughtfully.

I don't know if Livingston is satisfied with such an arrangement.

"Okay~, I understand~, that's it~"

As Livingston spoke, he stood up suddenly, ready to leave the room.

Seeing this, Lan Shengli hesitated.

"Where are you going~?!, what else do you want to communicate~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Go sign the contract, after signing the contract, you can go on vacation~!"

Livingston turned his head and said tuggingly.

It seemed that Livingston had accepted Lan Shengli's arrangement.

"Hahaha~!!!, okay, I'll go with you~!"

When Lan Shengli heard this, he immediately laughed and got up and walked over.

Finally, Lan Shengli gave the Clippers their first harvest of the offseason. The fourth seed of the year is about to return~! ! !
