Chapter 345: People sitting at home, emblem

　　 One basic salary, one starter.
　　 This is not to buy food, nor to join in the number of people.
　　 Although Kupchak told Kobe before that the Lakers plan to rebuild next season.
　　 But in fact, Kobe wouldn't believe that.
　　 If you don't rebuild, it will definitely not work to find someone to play the starting power forward.
　　 "Has Karl not officially announced his retirement?"
　　Kupchak's first thought was Karl Malone.
　　 Malone suffered from injuries and internal friction last season. His performance... actually was very good.
　　 You may not believe it. Last season, Malone was still the Lakers' three-master, which is the lubricant between the OK combination.
　　 And his personal form is also very good, shooting 48.3%, the best in the past three seasons.
　　If he doesn't get injured in the finals, the Pistons really can't sweep the Lakers.
　　 It’s just that Malone has been disheartened after going through the field last season.
　　 Before including him, he has also said to Kupchak that he will not execute the contract for next season.
　　 But the good news is that Malone has not officially announced his retirement, and Kupchak still has room to fight for.
　　 But the premise is that he has to make Malone feel that the Lakers are strong enough to win the championship.
　　 This matter is completely different from Kobe's before. It is not an upper lip to a lower lip that can be done in one sentence.
　　 was thinking, his assistant came in and reported on the team's summer league.
　　 The NBA free market and the summer league are synchronized.
　　 Especially in this era, the freezing period is long. Basically, the freezing period has not ended, and the summer league has been played.
　　 The Lakers performed well in the summer league and reached the finals in Long Beach.
　　 Among them, Ariza performed even better, averaging 12.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.6 blocks per game.
　　 Kupchak was still very happy to hear the news.
　　 In the previous trade, the Lakers sent out Devin George in order to keep Ariza, and now it seems not to be a loss.
　　 The assistant and Kupchak talked a few more words, and the two naturally talked about free agents.
　　 "I think I can try to ask Sun's opinion."
　　 Just then, the assistant suddenly said.
　　 Kupchak was taken aback when he heard this. It was Sun Hao who could be called "Sun".
　　 It's just that Sun Hao is a player. He doesn't know why the assistant suddenly said this.
"I heard people say that after Michael was drinking with people outside, he said that he chose Yao to be Sun at the beginning. Oh, yes, it also includes not having Hamilton to change Stackhouse, and this year's selection of Jia Mill Nelson."
　　 Kupchak's expression suddenly realized after listening.
　　 He just said it! How can he also be the president of operations? Jordan will change so much before and after his comeback.
　　 turns out to be the reason.
　　 And Jordan has always liked to brag, and the credibility of saying these words after drinking is very high.
　　 Although I don't know why Sun Hao has such a vision, it seems that there is nothing wrong with asking.
　　 And speaking of it, because Sun Hao returned to China after the transaction was completed, he was busy with other things in the free market, and he had not had time to contact Sun Hao.
　　 This is just an opportunity.
　　……
　　 Sun Hao is training with the national team and his teammates.
　　Although he is the latest one to join the team, this national team has not changed much from the World Championships two years ago, and he has quickly integrated into it.
　　 And the morale of this team has never been higher.
　　 All this is related to what happened in Athens before.
　　 After 9/11, international terrorist activities are rampant, especially on a big stage like the Olympic Games, which is even more dangerous.
　　In 2000, Sydney’s security investment was 200 million yuan. This year, Athens invested 1.5 billion yuan.
　　 But even so, there have been several explosions in Athens before.
　　 The direct impact of this is the panic. Many athletes abandon the Olympics due to safety issues.
　　 This includes many stars of the US men’s basketball team.
　　 Like McGrady, who represented the United States in the America’s Cup before and was the team’s top scorer, he didn’t go.
　　 The Chinese team will not be affected by this kind of thing, and the strength of the team members that Sun Hao has analyzed before becomes stronger.
　　 One ebb and flow, this also makes the Chinese men's basketball team's desire to win the championship stronger!
　　 After training, Sun Hao chatted with Wang Zhizhi while wiping sweat in the locker room.
　　 Just earlier today, the Suns just announced that they had reached a five-year 70 million contract with Steve Nash.
　　 Traveling to Phoenix with Nash is the Warriors' former chief assistant Mike D'Antoni, who will become the new head coach of the Suns.
　　 This is a typical "If you don't stay here, you have your own place".
　　 Although Sun Hao's appearance allowed Nash to be traded to the Warriors, the Suns in history still appeared.
　　 And D'Antoni and Nash have already proven themselves in the Warriors, which appears to be more reasonable than in history.
　　 Only this way, Wang Zhizhi, who is used to playing next to Nash, would be a bit embarrassed.
　　 He still has a one-year contract with the Warriors, and where to go after the game is a question.
　　 Sun Hao talked with him, naturally it was about joining.
　　 Although he is in China, he is actually paying attention to the signing of the Lakers.
　　 After all, the current Lakers feel a bit like the "Los Angeles Five", and they are really short of people.
　　 Wang Zhizhi's space-based interior is very suitable for playing with O'Neal.
　　 It may be a bit difficult to start, but it is definitely enough to play off the bench.
　　 was chatting, Sun Hao's cell phone rang.
　　 is a message, sent by Jr. Nelson, saying that Kupchak asked for his phone number and will contact him later.
　　 After a while, a strange long-distance call came.
　　 Sun Hao picked up the phone and went outside the locker room.
　　 "Sun, I’m Mickey, I’m really sorry, I’ve forgotten to contact you first when I’m busy with the free market recently. On behalf of the Lakers, I warmly welcome you to join. How are you training for the Chinese national team?"
　　 Kupchak was quite good at chatting, a wave of apology and concern, and he narrowed the distance with Sun Hao.
　　 After a short chat, Kupchak also surfaced his intentions.
　　 "I want to hear your opinion on team reinforcement."
　　 Sun Hao was silent for a while after hearing it, this came... a bit suddenly.
　　 Fortunately, Kupchak quickly explained the reason.
　　 Jordan...
　　 Sun Hao couldn't help but sigh after listening, drinking really made a mistake.
　　 But since Kupchak asked here, it was also an opportunity.
　　 He was actually worried that he had no chance to make the "eyes of the sky" of his traverser work. This call was a surprise.
　　 "I think we should give priority to filling strong forwards."
　　 Sun Hao said his thoughts.
　　 His thinking is somewhat different from that of Kupchak.
　　 Kupchak is the first shooter, then the outside line will be given priority.
　　 After all, there are very few inside shooters, and some are basically the kind of super soft, not in line with the requirements of the Lakers.
　　 But Sun Hao thought from O'Neill's perspective.
　　 Including that he will recruit Wang Zhizhi to go to the Lakers, which is the same idea.
　　 O'Neal is 32 years old. This year in history, he joined the Heat, and then he began to enter a stage of frequent injuries and decline in strength.
　　 This has a lot to do with Pat Riley's over-training, but in fact, an unavoidable problem is that O'Neal has indeed begun to go downhill.
　　 In other words, if the Lakers want O'Neal to maintain their previous dominance, they must appropriately reduce his playing time during the regular season.
　　In addition, it is to reduce O'Neal's loss in the regular season.
　　 In other words, he must be equipped with a strong enough inside line.
　　 can play with Shaquille O'Neal as a starting player, or play Shaquille O'Neal as a substitute.
　　 Otherwise, it's still the old Horry, or the long-term inside partner like the old Malone, then O'Neal will not be less impacted.
　　 So based on this, Sun Hao's idea is to use the middle-class special case on the internal line.
　　 And he also has a suitable candidate.
　　 Mehmet Okur.
　　 Because Wallace has already renewed the Pistons, Okur has little hope of staying with the Pistons.
　　 This year in history, he went directly to the Jazz with a 6-year 50 million contract.
　　 It's not easy for the Lakers to sign him, but it's not impossible.
　　 For example, first sign a 1+1 middle class special case with player options, and then offer a long-term contract next year.
　　 Of course, this means that Okur has to take a certain risk.
　　 Whether or not he can sign depends on Kupchak's personal negotiation ability.
　　 Of course, in addition to Okur, Sun Hao also gave an alternative, Hill Turkoglu.
　　 This striker who entered the NBA in the same year as Sun Hao, his career in the first four years can be described as wandering.
　　 Especially his performance in the Spurs career is very bleak.
　　 This year in history, he joined the Magic with a 6-year 38 million contract.
　　 The Lakers' hopes of winning him are higher than Okur.
　　 Of course, like Okur, this also needs Kupchak to fight for.
　　 As for the original Brent Barry, it is not necessary for the Lakers.
　　 "We still have Trevor."
　　 Sun Hao's answer surprised Kupchak.
　　Although the front assistant told him that Ariza performed well in the summer league, what does this mean is that Ariza can directly play the starting small forward?
　　 "Ariza and Varejao, I suggest Tang choose."
　　 Sun Hao didn't hide it either.
　　 Kupchak suddenly realized after listening.
　　 Indeed, as Sun Hao guessed before, the Lakers will intercept Hu Ariza in this year's NBA Draft, knowing the Mavericks' choice through their own internal information.
　　 After all, both Josh Howard and Daniels drafted by the Mavericks last year performed very well.
　　 Combined with those words of Jordan's drink, it happened to be right.
　　 "But he is a rookie after all, and this guy is terrible in three points."
　　 Kupchak still has his own doubts.
　　 "Don't worry, he can."
　　 Finley's scoring ability is strong enough, and he has the ability to open up space, so what the Lakers need more outside is actually a defender.
　　 And this is exactly what Ariza, who has excellent wingspan and physical fitness, is good at.
　　 As for three points or something, this thing can be practiced.
　　Although Ariza is called "Tiezha" by fans in history, his three-pointer level at his peak is also very high in the league.
　　 He will always be among the top 3D players in the league in the future.
　　 "Also, we can sign another Barry."
　　 Sun Hao then added.
　　 The other Barry he said was referring to Brent Barry’s brother, Joan Barry.
　　 Joan Barry is worse than his younger brother in terms of strength and reputation, but with one point, the three-pointer is equally accurate.
　　His two most accurate seasons, the 95-96 season, shot 47.3%. At that time, he didn't shoot too much, averaging only 1.4.
　　 Then came the 01-02 season, shooting 46.9%. At that time, it was already 3.1 shots per game!
　　 Sun Hao was very impressed with him because he went to the Houston team this year in history and became the most reliable shooter on the outside by Yao Ming.
　　Because of age and physical fitness, it is definitely impossible to start, but being a backup shooting guard is not a problem at all.
　　 "What do you think of Karl Malone?"
　　 Sun Hao helped Kupchak open up another idea, but he still didn't forget to ask Malone.
　　 "If he is willing to continue playing, there is no problem at all."
　　 As an opponent on the court, Sun Hao still recognized Malone's strength.
　　 If Malone is willing to play with the Lakers for another year, that would be a good thing.
　　 Even he thinks it is not small that Kupchak will persuade Malone to come back.
　　 After all, the biggest reason why Malone retired in history is because of the contradiction with Kobe.
　　 Now that Kobe is gone, Malone's choice is likely to change.
　　 "I think you can even try to get Horry back."
　　 Sun Hao then proposed.
　　 In the season before leaving the Lakers, Horry's performance can be described as terrible.
　　 But as he said before, the status of a player does not represent a player's strength.
　　Horry got back to his form after joining the Spurs.
　　 This year in history, Horry even had 21 points in the playoff half, helping the Spurs win the championship.
　　 Okur, Turkoglu, Malone, Horry, two of the four can be recruited. The Lakers' inside line next season is actually enough.
　　 After Kupchak finished hanging up the phone, UU read www.uukanshu.com with an unconcealed smile on his face.
　　 Sun Hao is good for general manager.
　　 This is a "surprise joy" that the Lakers got in this summer trade.
　　 It seems that there is a chance in the future, he has to communicate with Sun Haoduo in this regard.
　　……
　　 "Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully unlocking the badge "The Emperor's Fury"."
　　 The Emperor’s Wrath: Increase the voice of the host and the management when negotiating.
　　 Sun Hao, after hanging up the phone, I was a little confused.
　　 This badge, um, is the one he has always wanted, a badge to increase his right to speak in management.
　　 is just a name... it seems there is nothing wrong with it.
　　He is the little emperor, and the emperor’s anger is quite appropriate.
　　 is just a way of getting a badge, which is a bit unexpected.
　　 The previous badge, even if it is this non-upgradable badge, was obtained through his efforts to win the All-Star Game MVP honor.
　　 But this time, it was because of a phone call with Kupchak.
　　 really responded to that sentence.
　　 People sitting at home, badges fall from the sky!
　　Ps: Let’s change a chapter today, because of family affairs, I’m very sorry.
