NBA bench saves national team

Qin Feng remembers very clearly that Markieff Morris will be able to average about 13 points per game next season, while Tucker will be able to rise to more than 9 points.

But in fact, the data cannot measure the role of these two players in the team.

Markieff Morris is a very powerful 3D player. He has a fierce defense and a precise three-pointer. His low-post offensive skills are also good.

It is much easier to use than the current Ryan Anderson.

Undoubtedly, the trade for Markieff Morris is a reinforcement for the power forward position.

As for Tucker, he is a desperate Saburo based in the NBA based on defense.

At the same time, he also has a certain three-point shooting ability. Although he is short, he has the ability to defend from the 1st position to the 4th position. He is a very good 3D player.

The outside media and basketball experts have no idea what these two players mean to the Lakers.

After completing this deal, the Lakers did not stop their reinforcements.

Its general manager Kupchak reached a deal with the Bulls, using Lou Williams in exchange for Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson.

This operation once again shocked the entire league, and even aroused heated discussions in the entire league.

"What's the situation with the Lakers? Are they giving warmth to the Bulls? Using Super Sixth Man Louis Williams and the Bulls in exchange for two drinking fountain-level role players?"

"Actually, I can understand changing Gibson. After all, the Lakers need to strengthen the penalty area after Dayao retires. Gibson is not strong in all aspects, but he is a very good blue-collar center. But what the hell is changing Jimmy Butler? This young player with the 30th pick in the first round has had no chance to perform in the Bulls in the past two seasons!"

"It's outrageous! This Lakers general manager Pukuchak is really confused! If this operation continues, the Lakers will be far away from winning the championship next season."

"Hey! I think Kupchak should ask Qin Feng for his opinion when making adjustments to the team lineup. After all, he has such a unique vision. He said that which player has potential can be exchanged for potential. , but I never said it was bad!"

"Perhaps, Pukucek's two slightly stupid operations were carried out after asking Qin Feng?"

"..."

Even on the Internet, Kupchak was also trembling when conducting these trading operations.

He had expected such a reaction a long time ago, but he still resolutely followed Qin Feng's suggestion.

He believes that this Huaxia player sees people with his eyes. After all, there have been rumors in the league that he encourages young players, and people can't believe it!

However, Qin Feng's two trading proposals have been completed, and it's time for him to show his talents.

Based on the current lineup of the Lakers, Kupchak continues to strengthen.

He re-signed Jordan Farmar with a minimum salary contract of about $150 million.

For this player, the Lakers players are certainly no strangers.

The point guard once played for the Lakers, was the team's chief backup point guard, and followed the Lakers to win the NBA championship in 2010.

After signing with the Nets, he was traded to the Eagles due to injuries and was subsequently waived.

Now Kupchak signed Jordan Mafal to fill the vacancy left by Holiday.

Although there is a huge difference in the strength of the two players, Farmar has a three-point shooting rate of more than 38% and is a very reliable three-point shooter.

Try to sign players who can shoot three-pointers. This is Kupchak's central idea.

After all, in terms of organization, in addition to Lowry, the orthodox point guard, and Qin Feng, the top passing master in NBA history, the Lakers have no shortage of organizers.

After that, the most important thing for the team is to renew Kobe!

Next season is Kobe's contract year. The Lakers need to attack early and reach a contract extension with Kobe ahead of schedule, so that the purple and gold legend will die with the Lakers!

Soon, the Lakers officially announced that they had reached a two-year contract extension of $2 million with Kobe.

This also means that Kobe will still play for the Lakers for 3 years.

After 3 years, Kobe played for the Lakers for a full 20 years.

This is a very long journey.

And Kobe also became a legend of the Lakers all his life.

This is the end.

The Lakers lineup adjustment has come to an end.

The new lineup and player salaries (US dollars) are as follows:

Center: Gasol (1900 million), Taj Gibson (110 million);

Power forwards: Ryan Anderson (800 million), Markieff Morris (210 million), Giannis Antetokounmpo (200 million);

Small forwards: Qin Feng (1800 million), pj Tucker (90);

Shooting guard: Kobe (3000 million), Jimmy Butler (110 million);

Point guard: Lowry (650 million), Jordan Farmar (150 million);

Compared with last season, except for the starting lineup, the substitute lineup has basically been changed.

Dayao, Jamison, Artest, Louis Williams, and Jrue Holiday, five very powerful main rotation substitutes, all left the team.

Dayao chose to retire.

Jamison joined the Clippers as a free agent.

After Artest was amnesty by the Lakers, he joined the Knicks with a basic salary. As a team aiming to win the championship, the Knicks also frequently operated during the offseason, absorbing many veterans with experience in the Finals.

Louis Williams was traded to the Bulls by the Lakers. The starting lineup of this team is already extremely strong, but the strength of the bench is always poor.

After the trade of super sixth man Louis Williams, the strength of the Bulls has undoubtedly improved again, especially the bench, which has made a qualitative leap.

The last general, Zhu Holiday, was traded to the Suns by the Lakers, but within a few days, he was traded to the New Orleans Hornets by the Suns.

After all, the Suns have two guards, Dragic and Bledsoe, and if Holiday is left, the backcourt position will be too crowded.

The current Lakers lineup already has 11 players, and the minimum number of regular season rosters is 15, so the Lakers still need to sign four players.

But there is no rush to sign.

The summer league is about to start. Through this summer league, you can see how well those undrafted and second-round picks perform better, and then sign.

The current salary of the Lakers is 9020 million dollars.

Compared with the salary of more than 1 million US dollars last season, it is 1000 million US dollars less!

But even so, the Lakers still have to pay a luxury tax of more than 2000 million dollars in the new season.

......

The operations of the Lakers during the offseason have sparked heated discussions around the world, and many media and basketball experts have also released social media ratings for the Lakers.

Think the Lakers draft grade can only be b+.

And those deals are rated b-.

To sum it up in one sentence - it sucks...
