Chapter 450: 3-party transaction

Training is in full swing.
The new Lakers general manager Pelinka is also eagerly calling around to discuss trade matters.
He couldn't help but be in a hurry, even if he did it like this.
No way, who made him make a stupid signing before, now Jenny Buss’ task is to satisfy Xu Xuan... but it’s not easy.
In the past few days, his phone call is about to explode, his mouth is worn out, and he still hasn't been able to contact any suitable candidate. Even many team general managers saw that it was his phone and didn't answer the direct connection. ruthless.
"How is Joe?" Pelinka asked.
Singles Joe is their main goal, so he has the most energy to lean on him.
The blonde secretary of Shunliang Wan Tiao shook her head in frustration: "The Jazz still didn't let go. They once again doubted the trading plan that they had put forward before, and now they are shelving it again."
"Fak!"
Pelinka slapped the table, and the shaking coffee cup spilled a few drops.
"Damn it, after putting it on hold time and time again, they just want to drag it until it can't be traded. They didn't even think about trading at all, this group of souls are pale!"
Compared to those who don't answer the phone, there are even smarter people like this.
You see, I also answered the phone. We are also discussing the transaction you mentioned. Even, we once reached an agreement, but now we have discovered other problems, so we can only put the transaction on hold for the time being, and wait for us to finish the discussion. Confirm again...
The thought of this Pelinka makes fire.
confirm?
Make sure he is not!
This group of people just wanted him to die!
There are concealment every year, especially this year.
It stands to reason that whether it is Joe Johnson or Wesley Johnson, the weight in their team is not heavy. According to the current bargaining chips given by the Lakers, they definitely make a profit, but in any case, the other party is not letting go. You have a fart. Method.
"By the way, the Clippers seem to have eyebrows. I passed by the manager's office just now and I heard him say that I am going to report to you soon." said the female secretary with long blond legs.
"Really?" Pelinka didn't even care about the coffee, and ran out.
Singles Joe is the best choice, but now looking at the jazz's piss, they don't seem to be planning to make this deal, then Wesley Johnson can do as well.
I've played for the Lakers, and I don't even need to be familiar with it.
But would the Clippers guys be so kind?
...
There are still some problems with the Lakers lineup, not only because of the lack of the small forward position, there are too many people at point guard, four people, with Xu Xuan's attendance rate, there is no need for those people.
However, relatively speaking, the issue of the imminent small forward is still the top priority, and the issue of the guard must be put first.
After a rest for one night, on the morning of the 12th, Xu Xuan got up early and ran along the beach for an hour to move around, returning to his usual life.
But there is no training today. Today is a planned rest day, and training plans must be arranged.
The trainer can’t say that it’s good to do it for a day every day. Combination of work and rest is the right thing. Moreover, for a time, Xu Xuan’s body cannot accept so many training arrangements. It takes a while to digest and absorb.
For Xu Xuan, training has become an indispensable thing, even if there is no training arrangement today, Xu Xuan still has a morning run as usual.
At around 9 o'clock in the morning, Lin Yun and Xu Xuan's mother went out to the mall again. The two women got together and went to the mall every day.
That's right, Xu Xuan's parents have now been taken to Los Angeles, and Lin Yun, who was temporarily vacant, took them out for fun.
At noon, Pelinka came over with documents.
Xu Xuan didn't have the time to help him plan these things every day. Pelinka was able to grasp this kind of free time very well.
"Xu, I have worked hard here. Joe has no hope. The Jazz have no intention of making a deal until now," Pelinka said. "However, Wesley has a little hope on this side, and has already started to talk to us. They agreed, but they didn’t want Mozgov, but Clarkson."
"?"
"Clarkson?"
Xu Xuan stood up and looked at Pelinka's position, "Is that Jordan Clarkson?"
"That's right, it's him." Pelinka smiled bitterly. "The Clippers want to take a bite after seeing the fat."
Jordan Clarkson.
Speaking of which, this guy has a relationship with Xu Xuan, because he is also a rookie in 14 years, and he is in the same class as Xu Xuan, and he is also a second-round pick, a bit lower than Xu Xuan, and was the 16th pick in the second round by the Los Angeles Lakers. The team was selected with the 46th pick in a deal from the Wizards.
In the same year, he served as a substitute for the Lakers. On March 7, 2015, in the game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies, Jordan Clarkson played 36 minutes, made 12 of 18 shots, contributed 25 points, 6 assists and 4 rebounds, refreshing his career scoring. Record, and became the youngest Lakers player to score 25 points and 6 assists in a single game since Kobe Bryant (April 16, 2001).
On April 4, 2015, Jordan Clarkson was elected the NBA Western Conference Rookie of the Month in March, becoming the first Lakers rookie to receive this honor since the establishment of the Rookie of the Month in the 1981-82 season. Clarkson averaged 15.8 points per game in March, ranking fourth among all rookies, averaging 5.2 assists per game, ranking third among all rookies, and averaging 4.8 rebounds per game, ranking seventh among all rookies.
As a second-round pick, Clarkson can have such a performance, has been very unexpected.
Like Randall, who was in the same season with him and on the same team, he averaged only 2.0 points per game in his rookie season. Although it was only because of his one game, Randall was the seventh pick in the first round. Clarkson was the 16th overall pick in the second round, and there was a huge gap between the two draft picks.
The performance is Clarkson's lead.
Xu Xuan remembered that Clarkson was also selected for the All-Rookie Team at the time. In the second round of the 2014 class, Xu Xuan did not mention him. He should be the best player.
Jordan Clarkson is a thin, sporty combo guard with outstanding wingspan and jumping ability; able to attack independently, with average finishing ability and unstable shooting; as a shooting guard, a little short, with enough possession of the ball to be a cameo point guard but too selfish.
In the regular season last season, the 24-year-old Clarkson started 79 games for the Lakers, averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 32.3 minutes. Since being selected by the Lakers in the second round in 2014, Clarkson has started 117 in 138 games and has become a stable scoring point for the Lakers.
In this year's free market, his contract renewal with the Lakers went on very quickly. As a restricted free agent, Clarkson has no shortage of suitors. He could have chosen to wait more time to listen to the offers from all parties. So quickly agreeing to renew the contract with the Lakers shows that he really wants to stay in the Lakers and in Los Angeles.
The contract is 50 million for 4 years. This contract is not much for a promising supernova. The Lakers are also very happy to be able to sign him for such a small price.
But everything has been a little different since Xu Xuan decided to come here.
"so,"
Xu Xuan looked at Pelinka inexplicably: "You mean, not only does the Clippers want him, but he also wants to leave?" Jushuku
"Uh......"
Pelinka said awkwardly, "It should be what it meant."
Xu Xuan nodded, then he understood.
I wanted to stay in Los Angeles, but now I don’t want to stay. I want to leave.
Because of Xu Xuan's arrival, first of all, his starting lineup was gone, and the substitute is estimated to have to fall behind Lu Wei as the second substitute.
From the starter to the second bench, I couldn’t accept it personally. What's more, he was still a young man, a proud young man. It is estimated that after Xu Xuan decided to sign with the Lakers, this guy started to suffer. Now This is just an opportunity.
Although going to the Clippers is unlikely to replace Paul, and there is no super backstage like Rivers, but in short, he left the Lakers.
How should I put it, now he is a bit disappointed.
Picture a heart comfort.
I said that I admired me so much and liked me so much, but now it's all gone, and I feel normal in my heart.
"We are at a disadvantage in this exchange." Xu Xuan frowned.
He doesn't care if Clarkson leaves or not. Since he wants to leave, staying strong is not Xu Xuan's style.
Clarkson replaced Wesley Matthews alone. Although it was a trade that the Lakers had to make in terms of position, it was too bad.
"Who said no?" Pelinka spread his hands. "They meant to make a three-way transaction."
"Tripartite transaction?"
"Ok."
"Jazz?" Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"No, it's not." Pelinka shook her head: "It's the king."
"king?"
Xu Xuan looked at him in surprise: "How come the king is also involved."
Pelinka poured herself a cup of coffee, took a sip, and smiled: "I said, you have to be thankful for them to get involved, otherwise I may not be able to meet your request."
With that said, he handed over a piece of information.
One head at the top left of the profile, Xu Xuan looked up and immediately raised his head and said: "Matt Barnes?"
"You still contacted this person?"
Xu Xuan said excitedly.
Prior to this, the people he most wanted to trade were Joe Johnson and Wesley Matthews, and he didn't even think about Matt Barnes.
Thinking about it now, this guy seems pretty good too.
The 36-year-old Barnes has played in the league for 13 seasons and has played for 11 teams.
Barnes averaged 28.8 minutes per game with the Grizzlies last season, scoring 10 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists. He is good at defensive, and his career-highest single-season three-point shooting percentage reached 36.6%. He is quite versatile. He played as a bench gangster. Brought a lot of contributions to the team.
But Barnes has always been known for his short temper. He is never afraid of fights and often helps his teammates get ahead. With him in the locker room, the atmosphere is often like a gunpowder keg. If in a championship-level team with a good atmosphere, Barnes' passion can still be used in the right place, but if in a team with a bad atmosphere, no one can say what will happen.
For example, in the king...
The Kings are definitely not a team with a good atmosphere. Last season, whether it was DeMarcus Cousins ​​or Rondo, they were at odds with George Karl. Cousins ​​is a famous gunpowder barrel. Good your emotions.
After Matt Barnes reached a signing agreement with the Kings, well-known expert Larry Cowan also joked: "The Kings should really let Derek Fisher be the head coach. Next season, we can see a wonderful Reality show!"
As we all know, Fisher is dating Barnes’ ex-wife, because of this incident, the two fought a lot last year, which caused a very bad effect.
Pelinka said lightly: "The Kings are willing to send Matt Barnes, because Matt Barnes had a conflict with Cousins ​​in a wild game two days ago. The two were originally going to play a charity match. Yes, it almost became a live match."
Xu Xuan smiled and shook his head: "This news is pretty tightly sealed, I don't know."
"That's because you were too focused on training. Cousins ​​also tweeted. Anyway, there was a wave of ridicule. The two of them are not going anywhere. The Kings found us."
"Dare to love or a hot potato?" Xu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
"So, I just came to ask you, when Joe Johnson hasn't made any progress~EbookFREE.me~ If you agree, I'll talk to them. There is still room in it. "
"Well," Xu Xuan thought for a while.
Matt Barnes is a slender small forward who is good at running and air cuts. He has excellent athletic ability. He has the ability to finish the game and has a good outside shooting ability. In the 2006-07 season, the Warriors performed a black eight miracle in the playoffs, and he also had a very good performance.
As a forward of a running-and-explosive team, he is very qualified, strong and fast. With his height and wingspan, Barnes has a large defensive area, agile feet, and the weak side's defense awareness is also very good.
If he comes to the Lakers, then at the small forward position, the Lakers will have a trident combination of Ingram and Barnesgar.
Having a veteran, offensive, defensive, experienced, energetic, able to run and fight is definitely a good choice for the Lakers.
As for his temper... Xu Xuan didn't care too much.
He has never been afraid of being violent, otherwise he wouldn't have established authority soon after he arrived in Pacers.
Which of West, Hibbert, etc. is not a thorn?
Which Xu Xuan counseled?
If you do not accept it, there will be times when you do it!
Xu Xuan is never afraid of thorns!
"Well, if you agree, I will talk about it. There is no guarantee that it will be done, but there should be no problem." Pelinka's execution ability is still very strong.
He stood up immediately and was ready to talk.
This is a tripartite transaction that involves a lot of things, and it can't be negotiated in just two clicks.
But now the Clippers want Clarkson and the Kings are eager to get rid of Barnes. Although there are still difficulties, it is not as great as before. This is why Pelinka is so confident.
