I'm home!

This sentence instantly became a pass phrase that drove Southern California into madness.

They waited for many, many years, and finally waited for this sentence, the enthusiasm of the whole Los Angeles is like the eruption of flames of magma, no one is not crazy about it.

Now, everyone's eyes are on Staples Arena. Every Lakers fan is looking forward to the new season. They can't wait to see the union between Snoopy and Kobe. By the way, there is Stephen Nash.

These three guys have won 5 regular season MVP trophies (02-12) in the NBA in the past ten years. Just thinking about the chemical reaction between them makes people intoxicated.

However, Du Ge was invited to the general manager's office the day after the welcome party.

Now, the Lakers desperately need someone to handle the signings. In this regard, the management fully believes in the Duke's vision. He believes that the Duke will definitely be able to find the right team players for the Lakers.

Before Duge walked into Kupchak's office, he received a call from Europe.

Dako Milicic called him and he told Snoopy: "I want to continue to be your teammate. Minnesota has bought out my contract."

Dug discussed with Kupchak for a while.

Kupchak originally disagreed with this matter. Since Milicic got the big contract in Memphis, he has become more and more degenerate, and his size has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. And when he was sold to Minnesota, he got even worse. Now Sanders finally couldn't bear to buy out his contract.

"He is actually a good defensive center, and he can keep up with the fast offensive rhythm. He and I also have a good interaction, I think, if you don't trust him, you can give him a non-guaranteed contract. It's just... …"

Dug thought for a while, and finally said: "After a season, don't regret it."

The little Duke fully trusted Milicic, who played a good game with him in New York. Moreover, he is different from Eddie Curry, Eddie Curry is intermittently fanatical, he can achieve continuous output. Moreover, he is only 27 years old this year. As long as he has a correct attitude and feeds the ball himself, once he has regained his confidence, he can definitely become an above-average center.

Kupchak thought for a while.

Then, he took the initiative to contact Milicic's agent. He offered a three-year contract of 8 million yuan.

It's definitely not a fool to be the general manager of the Lakers for so many years. Although it is a bit risky to give a three-year guarantee contract for a parallel importer like Milicic, but the little duke has spoken like this, can he miss it?

"We need wing shooters now!" After reading the roster, Doug said clearly: "When the Lakers have me, Kobe, and Nash, the opponents will definitely not be able to focus their defensive attention on the two wings. At this time, we only need one level. With the shooter above, we can easily swallow the opponent's defense."

Hearing this, Kupchak immediately turned around and discussed with the executive scouts next door, looking for shooters who have not signed yet and who may be trading.

At the same time, Doug was still watching videos of various players over there.

The list of people on the Lakers list is now clear: Kobe Bryant, Stephen Nash, Carlos Boozer, Dako Milicic, Asik, Jordan Hill, Snoopy Du, Byron Davis, Ron Artest, Antoine Jamison, Steve Blake...

In this lineup, there are a lot of inside players and a surplus of point guards. The wing shooter is almost nothing.

Need a deal!

Doug frowned and thought.

At this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a highlight video of inside players on the TV screen in front of him attracted his attention. This guy has great advantages in height and wingspan, and his athletic ability is also very good. He is very distinctive in his offensive rebounding sense, position grabbing, and blocking interference.

"Who is he?" Du Ge asked.

Kupchak probed over: "Whiteside, a marginal player. He has no offensive ability. I heard that he is going to play overseas."

"You can sign him." Doug said: "With him, Asik or Jordan Hill can be traded."

Ok?

Kupchak frowned slightly, he was suspicious, but finally nodded.

Then, after a long tidying up.

Kupchak circled a few shooters, and then started making calls in front of Dugge. His first call was to the Atlanta uniform team according to Duger's instructions: they had just taken Kyle Korver from Chicago through a three-way deal.

Korver is the best shooter Dugge has ever worked with.

The two sides went from testing each other to confessing to each other. Then he pulled the Houston Rockets in and made a three-way deal. The Los Angeles Lakers first reached a three-year, $17 million contract with Asik, and then sent him to the Houston Rockets. The Houston Rockets sent Delfino and Dai Quinn Cook to the Atlanta Hawks. The Eagles sent Kyle Korver to the Los Angeles Lakers.

The negotiation time for this deal is only about one hour.

This is the first time Doug has seen the NBA's trading process with his own eyes. He feels...like selling vegetables in a vegetable market.

Kupchak asked if the Eagles GM traded Korver. The Eagles replied that I really want a shooting guard who can handle the ball, play singles and connect in series. It's sad that Joe Johnson went to Brooklyn.

Kupček put down the phone, let the scouts under his hand search around and asked: What do you think of Argentine ace defender Delfino? This guy has good quality and cheap price, and he is able to play singles without occupying the ball.

Eagle GM replied: Hasn't he been very moisturizing in Houston now? Will the chicken thief Morey let go?

Kupchak put the phone aside, and then called the chicken thief Morey: I have a tall, mighty and domineering center here, who can play the pick-and-roll, can change defense, can get stuck in position, can protect the basket, and be with you. How about the transaction?

Morey opened his mouth and it was money: Is it expensive? I just traded Harden from the Thunder, and I'm about to touch the luxury line right away.

"Asik, the Bulls' meritorious ace center, double champion center. Sign first and then change, I can give you 18 million in three years. Now big men are valuable, as long as they are seven feet tall, they dare to call 10 million, you If we think it’s okay, we’ll trade. We only need you, Argentine, to add any more."

After a long bargain, Morey finally reduced the price to 17 million in three years.

Then I contacted Asik's agent and it was done.

Korver returned to the arms of the duke.

When the official announcement was made the next day, Du Ge felt...too fast.

With the arrival of Korver, the Lakers' twelve rosters have finally been assembled. From the book, it can be said that it has begun to take shape.

At the same time, the Lakers' pre-season training camp officially opened.

Isnubido, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Nash, Carlos Boozer, Ron Artest, Kyle Korver, Dacomilicic, Jordan Hill, Steve Blake, Bye Len Davis, Whiteside, Antoine Jamison, twelve players with guarantee contracts, plus seven players with training camp contracts, appeared in front of the media reporters who came to visit the class.

The Lakers have always been the focus of media attention. After Snoopy is added this year, it has become the focus of attention.

And this is why the Lakers implemented batched reporter visits for the first time in history, because there are too many reporters outside to register. Such a big battle even makes people suspect that Staples is holding the Oscars.

"To be honest, if you put a red carpet outside, I really think that I'm already a super rapper."

Ron Artest (Zi Shiping) pretended to exaggerate during the interview.

"He and I have already let go of our past. We are all adults, we have similar personalities, and we have the same hobbies. We are all one of the few NBA singers. We will definitely become very good friends."

Artest talked about it in the face of the media.

He seemed...want to take advantage of the little duke's heat.

However, Carlos Boozer would not let him succeed.

"I will warn that guy to stay away from Snoopy. If he dares to be disrespectful, I won't make him feel better. The whole world knows that I am only loyal to Snoopy." Boozer accepted. When the Orange County Chronicle reporter Kevin Ding visited, he was full of real-talk.

Because he knew that Kevin Ding was Snoopy's best media friend, when he mentioned that Artest had repeatedly clashed with Snoopy in the past, he showed his true emotions without any cover.

Kevin Ding absolutely believes his remarks. Of course, he didn't want Artest to provoke the little duke. After all, as a Lakers player, he still hopes that the locker room can be harmonious.

Having said that, where does Artest now have the qualifications to challenge Snoopy? The little duke only needs a word, and he has to be traded away.

In fact, Artest also played his style of making the rudder soft and afraid of hardship. As soon as he saw Snoopy, he lowered his posture and ran up to shake hands with enthusiasm: "Thank God, you are finally here to save the Lakers."

amount….

His enthusiasm really made Snoopy a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the beard pushed his hand away in time.

Subsequently, Jamison also joined in.

The little duke chatted happily with every new teammate. And, naturally, he formed a discussion group centered on him.

Dako Milicic, Jamison, Big Beard, Korver, Boozer, including Nash, they all like to chat with Snoopy.

In fact, Kobe also wanted to join in.

But he always feels that this doesn't fit his cold image. I should be a ruthless, overbearing president who only treats Snoopy alone. How can I do such things with the people?

And... "Snoopy is so disgusting that he deliberately snubbed me? See if I won't blow you up tonight!"

After all, the black mamba is hard to settle.
