Chapter 745: Lakers thoughts

Wei Dazhi finally got rid of the predicament with a message he guessed, then took a shower in a hurry, ate something casually, went downstairs and drove to the headquarters of the Lakers to meet Jerry Bath, and the two agreed to eat together. A lunch.
In the two years since Li Liang left, neither the Lakers nor Bath have had a good time.
They won the championship in 2013, the five-star Lakers reached the peak, Jerry Bass took the opportunity to stabilize his position in the team, overwhelming his sister Jenny Bass.
But in the two seasons of 2014 and 15 years, the Lakers failed to enter the playoffs.
Especially in 2015, they once rushed to a high position, but in the late season, the record collapsed (the author forgot), and directly fell out of the top eight in the west. One of the important reasons is that the contradiction between Kobe and Howard is getting more and more deep.
Unfortunately, the salary of these two people almost fills the team's space, but no good chemical reaction can occur. This is the worst thing.
To make matters worse, although Kobe's condition is acceptable, his Achilles tendon injury, coupled with his age, makes it impossible for him to return to the top. Howard, after 2013, was also plagued by various injuries and could not become the original Warcraft.
In the 2015 season, he had to reduce his weight appropriately to ensure his state. As a result, his power on both ends of the offense and defense was greatly reduced, and he missed a lot of games at the end of the season due to back injuries.
The Lakers have reached the stage of choice again, and it would be better if they could welcome Li Liang back this time.
Bath did have such an idea, so he had to talk to Wei Dazhi, a good friend of Li Liang, to explore the tone.
Now Li Liang is not in the United States, and his agent is not there. No one can contact him. Of course, Wei Dazhi has become a confectionery.
Bath set the location at a high-end restaurant near the headquarters, along with Magic Johnson and General Manager Kupchak.
This battle is indeed not small. There is no way. Wei Dazhi is Li Liang’s royal spokesperson. Everyone is convinced that Wei Dazhi has the right to make important suggestions in Li Liang.
In fact, Wei Dazhi knew in his heart that he had the right to suggest fart.
Although the two have a good relationship, Li Liang is a very opinionated person, and he will not listen to the opinions of others.
If he would listen to the advice of others, he would not leave the Lakers to the Clippers, nor the Clippers to the Cavaliers, and the Cavaliers jumped to the Pacers. He was simply a dictator.
Wei Dazhi has an intimate number in his heart, and he will not swell without the fame. He feels that he is a good friend of Li Liang and can point fingers at him.
He was not that stupid, he knew who he could rely on for everything he has today.
And he wanted Li Liang to run around blindly. Li Liang didn't run anywhere. Where did his social media come from?
Once a year, the third season of this year, and the fourth season next year, such a big show is unprecedented in NBA history.
Because of this, Wei Dazhi came to eat with the Lakers management this time, it was pure rubbing.
After arriving at the place, seeing Bath and others, Wei Da had long ago lost the excitement and nervousness of seeing idols in the past.
Like the magician Johnson, Wei Dazhi was not able to call his father-in-law?
A few people greeted each other. This is a relatively high-end Chinese restaurant. Little Bass is quite exquisite and serves food.
Generally speaking, Chinese, Italians, Greeks and other Southern Europeans prefer to discuss things at the dinner table.
The British and French Anglo-Saxons, they prefer large-scale receptions, parties, dinner is generally to eat.
Little Baz invited Wei Dazhi to dinner, obviously respecting Wei Dazhi's customs, on the one hand, it shows that Wei Dazhi is really quite face-to-face, on the other hand, because of the existence of Li Liang, the status of the Chinese in the small circle of the NBA has really improved A lot.
After chatting a few words, Bass got to the point, and he didn't go around. He said directly: "Bruce, is there any plan to return to Los Angeles this summer?"
Wei Dazhi also answered very simply, "I don't know."
But he added: "No one can guess Bruce's idea. When he left the Lakers, no one could think of it, did he?"
"But he said he would come back," Johnson said.
"But he didn't say when he would come back." Wei Dazhi took a sip of wine and replied.
"To be honest, we really hope he can come back, if you can...you can give him some advice, and then we can have more cooperation." Bath said outspokenly, and put forward the conditions.
For any reporter, the team's information resources are very important, especially the Lakers such as the giants.
Wei Dazhi didn't change his face. He knew in his heart that his biggest resource was Li Liang, and nothing else. He wanted to interfere with Li Liang's ideas for the Lakers' resources? He is not an idiot.
Of course, we can’t say death, Wei Dazhi said: "Generally speaking, if Bruce has any ideas, he will reveal some to me, maybe I can give you some reference. Moreover, Bruce now has a contract, and the Lakers have no space, he If you want to come, you have to trade. You should look at the chips in your hands to see if they can impress Indiana and Larry Bird."
Wei Dazhi's words were very reasonable, the magician said: "Larry I will contact, but the chips..."
If you want to change Li Liang, it means that Wiggins must be sent away.
Judging from the performance of Wiggins in the first season, the talent is indeed the champion, but it is indeed much worse than Li Liang.
One No. 1 pick, one No. 56 pick, how big is the gap?
Bath and Johnson tried again, but Wei Dazhi never gave a clear message, and he couldn't give it. He couldn't really be sure.
Kupchak always talks very little, he has been listening, as a manager, his experience is older than Bath and magician.
After eating, Wei Dazhi declined Bath's invitation to play golf. He was so tired last night that he wanted to take a good rest.
After saying goodbye, Bath, Magician and Kupchak discussed the total.
Bass feels that Li Liang may not be so easy to move.
The two had a conflict at the Lakers at the beginning. Li Liang didn't look down on Little Bass, and finally won the championship by him.
Later, when Li Liang left, Bass didn't save much, and felt that a second-round show would be missing?
As a result, there were no drops, the Lakers were still Lakers, but they couldn't make it to the playoffs.
Now Bass has some regrets, especially Li Liang's performance in the playoffs this season is simply historical.
But he couldn't hold his face and contacted Li Liang directly, so he had to pass Wei Dazhi.
I don’t know if this fat man doesn’t go in salt or oil.
Johnson is quite optimistic, thinking that as long as the sincerity is enough, Li Liang can return to the Lakers.
Kupchak disagreed. He said, "No, no, Bruce is an extremely opinionated and thoughtful person. He has his own standards. I don’t think he’s very likely to return to Los Angeles. I’ve heard Kobe say that Bruce won’t come back until Kobe retires.

"Is it better to retire Kobe?" Bath said.
You TM is a personal talent, are you doing it to recruit Li Liang?
Kupchak rolled his eyes at Bath, and then said: "And we should pay attention that Bruce only stays for one season on each team. He is likely to stay in the Lakers for only one season. We still have to From a long-term perspective."
Kupchak's words are actually very reasonable, but the temptation to win the championship by Li Liang is really too big, although no one knows how next season.
"So what should we do?" Bass thought it was more reliable to listen to Kupchak.
"You know, Leonard has decided to jump out of the contract and not renew the contract with the Spurs. I think this may be an opportunity. Also, Dwight's contract, I think it is necessary to deal with it, right?"
Kupchak's little brain started to turn.
