Chapter 439: [4 giants, to rush to the crown! 】

On the 2nd, the Lakers and Hawks deal about Boris Dior and Devin George was also announced.
Then, the Lakers signed Mo Williams freely at the end of the year and the second year was the team's option. Yang Rui had made a mistake before. Mo Williams and Jazz only signed a one-year salary contract and were free.
Kupchak and Mo Williams signed a short contract, and Yang Rui did not raise any objections. At this time, in addition to showing the "no pass" feature, Williams saw no potential. If the Lakers sign a long-term contract with him directly, all media will think that the Lakers management is a group of neuroses.
On the 3rd, the Lakers mini-middle class signed Damon Jones, with 7 points and 5.8 assists last season. Last season, he shot 40.1% from the field and 35.9% from the 3-point range, two new career highs.
Jones' agent couldn't believe it when he received the call, and he immediately agreed. Jones is also very willing to join the Lakers and play in Los Angeles.
It's just that Yao Ming is not a center enough. Yang Rui also proposed a trading target for Kupchak to operate.
The Lakers sent veteran Robert Horry to receive Cavaliers blue-collar center De Saguena Diop and 300,000 cash compensation to achieve salary parity.
The Cavaliers are focusing on veteran Horry's ability to withdraw. At this year's draft, they selected two insiders, Rafael Arauyo and Anderson Valejo, in order to replace Diop.
Diop averaged 13 minutes per game last season, scoring 2.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.9 blocks. His field goal percentage was 37.8%.
The previous season, Diop's field goal percentage was 35.1%, averaging 11.8 minutes, 1.5 points and 2.7 rebounds.
His rookie season was even worse, playing 6.1 minutes, 41.4% shooting, 1.4 points and 0.9 rebounds.
This kind of data was actually played by the 8th pick in the first round in 2001. It was actually a heavy center with a height of 213CM and a weight of 136 kg.
Diop's performance made the Cavaliers management want to scold the street. Although the Cavaliers knew he had no shooting ability when he chose Diop, they naively thought that Diop was expected to develop a low offense by relying on weight and strength. Being able to dominate, he wasn't even as good as Rockets center Kevin Cato.
Yang Rui was very impressed with Diop in his previous life. This wonderful career peak data was in the 07-08 season, averaging 2.9 points, 5 rebounds and 1.1 assists. No career season has scored more than 3 points.
However, he played 12 seasons throughout his career. He averaged 14 minutes, shooting 42.7% from the field and 46.7% from the free throw line. The offensive end is the first pit in history, scoring 2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 1 block.
Such a pit can play 12 seasons, of course, it is outstanding, Diop and Mavericks have signed a big contract, 32 million in 5 years.
Diop has only one advantage, good at defending the restricted area.
O'Neill's 2006 finals produced the worst statistics of his career finals, making many people think that Wade won the single-core team. The Mavericks' defensive tactics are that Diop and Dampier both killed O'Neal without the need for outside teammates.
As a result, O'Neal did not score more than 20 points in six games. In the second game, he made 2 of 5 shots and 1 of 7 free throws. He only had 5 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. In the sixth game, he made 4 of 11 shots and 1 of 4 free throws. He scored 9 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist. Throughout the series, he averaged 13.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.83 blocks and 3.2 turnovers per game.
Diop is such an alternative center that will allow O'Neill to enter the penalty area.
After the transaction was completed, Yang Rui called Kupchak and said with a smile: "Okay, the Lakers rushing to the crown lineup is basically completed."
"You're still rushing for the crooked lineup, are you kidding me?"
Just over 50 years old, the serious Kupchak couldn't help but vomit. "Jerry, stop it. Now you can say which star you are going to sign in the free market? If you move slowly, it will be troublesome to be robbed."
"I haven't said that I will dig up stars. It's enough to find another old future. This is the Lakers' new season lineup. We train the stars ourselves." Yang Rui smiled.
"What? We still have a lot of salary space now, George and Fisher are gone, our total salary is less than 50 million, just arrived in the salary cap!" Kupchak Khan said: "The boss said don't mind Pay the luxury tax, let alone the luxury tax, the total salary ranks behind the league, is this still the Lakers tradition?"
"Please, is the Lakers' tradition of spending money arbitrarily? Haha." Yang Rui was really joking, laughing: "Mickey, I said it was business, sign Rashid Wallace."
"Why didn't you say it early? The free market has been open for several days. Other teams have contacted him for a long time, but he is a big fish in the free market this year." Kupchak didn't have a good air.
"Isn't the news that this guy is coming to Los Angeles? He was almost staying away from my house a few days ago and said he would go wherever I join the team." Yang Rui said complacently.
"..."
Rashid is a very personal player who often doesn't play cards according to common sense.
Leaving the Trail Blazers, Rashid's goal in choosing a new club is to see if he can win the championship. He doesn't want to wait until he is old and can't move and then go to the strong team to win the championship. This will be ignored. He wanted to win the championship first, and then fight for a big contract for the end of his career.
In the view of the always rebellious Rashid, Yang Rui's coaching team is the most promising to win the championship. As early as 2003 when he represented the Blazers against the Wizards, he specifically asked Yang Rui to ask for a phone number. He felt that the Blazers had no future.
At the end of June, Rashid ran to Los Angeles with his agent and invited Yang Rui to dinner and beg for it.
He is very smart, thick-skinned, and active. He is willing to reduce his salary appropriately, provided that the contract period is shorter~EbookFREE.me~The last year will be a player option.
Rashid's current situation is different. The Pistons are coached by Jeff Van Gundy. He wants to train Milicic, reuse Okur, and never think of trading Rashid.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Rashid was first traded from the Blazers to the Hawks, and was sent to the Pistons after only one game. This is obviously insider trading. At that time, the Pistons had the strength to rush to the crown. The Trail Blazers were unwilling to "assist" them, so the Pistons used a trick and a roundabout tactic.
Brown is good at engaging in such violations, so his team was suspended twice during the NCAA.
After Rashid joined the Pistons, he became the final piece of the championship. The Pistons won the championship in 2004. Later, Rashid signed a five-year 57 million high-paying long contract and was selected to the All-Star team twice in the Pistons.
The Lakers signed Rashid, and the price will definitely be cheaper. His reputation is not good. Many people regard him as a tumor.
In fact, Rashid's strength is very strong, he is 211CM tall, weighs 104 kg, and has excellent offense and defense.
On the offensive end, he hit back low, broke high, dunked the bottom line, and was proficient in open three-pointers. Within the entire three-point line, he was the offensive range. The best thing is that he turned his straight arm on the left and right bottom lines and jumped back. The back is wide and the shot is high. It is difficult for opponents to block.
On the defensive end, he has excellent height and wingspan, strong maneuverability, first-rate defensive awareness, and is good at changing pick-and-roll and assist defense, but because of his light weight, he is not outstanding enough for single defense inside, so he has not been selected as the best defensive lineup.
Kupchak found it difficult to rebuild, and Yang Rui became simple as soon as he came. This is the magic of the reborn.
Yang Rui made a few suggestions, and the Lakers formed the "Big Four." The total salary was not subject to luxury tax. As long as he trains up a few potential newcomers, the Lakers will be able to compete in the new season directly!
