Chapter 747 The Godfather
Chapter 747 The Godfather
Like participating in the draft conference in previous years, Su Yang went straight to the temporary office of the league to chat with the boss and executives.
After entering the door, President Xiao Hua, Vice President Tatum, Rockets owner Fertitta, Clippers president Lawrence Frank, Pacers president Kevin Pritchard, Hornets owner Jordan, Lakers president Magic Johnson, and others Hot chat.
Su Yang was still greeting the old leader, Pritchard, when the magician impatiently pulled him aside, with a slightly flustered expression.
"Sue, based on our past friendship, I sincerely hope you tell me the truth, if we choose Marvin Bagley, can it help us get back to the playoffs? We were only close to last season..." Magic Johnson Ask in a low voice.
"Ah, this..."
Su Yang was stunned for a moment.
Magician’s so-called almost making the playoffs last season means that the Lakers ranked tenth in the Western Conference, eighth away from the Western Conference, and they are still nine wins away. Whether Lee can help or not has little impact, because the Lakers' problem is not with the lineup, but with coach Walton's egalitarian coaching style and management goals.
Wharton's mobile offensive system emphasizes that everyone has a chance, that is, an egalitarian style of play, but it doesn't apply to a group of recruits + George. It is necessary to let the rookies concentrate on shooting in the first three quarters, and let the rookies take shots in the fourth quarter. George ends the game.
In addition, the Lakers management has not yet made up their minds about whether to cultivate their own rookies or trade potential rookies to pursue superstars, so that they did not negotiate with Randall during the offseason, and they are still in the dilemma of whether to renew Russell in advance. busy.
Even if the Lakers choose Doncic, they will be entangled in whether to build an offensive and defensive system around Doncic.
"I sincerely recommend that you first determine your goals, whether you want to quickly compete for the championship, or slowly rebuild..."
Su Yang thought over and over again and gave serious suggestions. In fact, he knew that the Lakers wanted to win the championship quickly. Because the Lakers are in such a big market as Los Angeles, it would be a waste not to compete for the championship.
As for Wharton's question, as a boss and coach, it is not suitable for evaluation, and the Lakers can only let the Lakers understand it.
The key is that as long as the Lakers form a giant lineup, once the record deviates, Walton will definitely be fired, and there is no need to remind.
"I heard that KD will jump out of the contract in the offseason, is it worth betting everything?" The magician asked while covering his mouth.
"A healthy KD, just in terms of the effect of the court, can be replaced by any player in the league. Of course, it is worth your money..." Su Yangxin said that if the king's daughter bought a horse bone and needed to renew Cousins, he would definitely do his best. Go for Durant.
As far as Durant's unsolvable heads-up ability is concerned, there is always a choice at the critical moment. No matter what tactics are used against Durant, whether it is zone defense or double-teaming, Durant can crack it hard, just like brute force deciphering a six-digit password. Straight out the supercalculator to try 10^6 times.
Not to mention regular time, Durant has a steady output.
"What about CP3?"
The magician caught Su Yang and wanted to call for advice before, but because he was fined 50 US dollars for illegal recruitment, he didn't want to leave a handle on the alliance, but this private chat in the alliance's temporary office was forced Touch the tiger's ass.
"It's worth risking everything..."
Su Yang is a little happy. If the Lakers snatch Paul, the Spurs will not be able to form the Big Three, and the pressure on the Kings to win five consecutive championships will be less. Although Paul + George + Ingram + No. [-] pick + Russell and others are also quite strong, But the difference between the Big Three and the Spurs is too much.
"OK, you are such a good person." The magician nodded with satisfaction, "I will treat you next time I come to Los Angeles, please don't tell others about it, it is related to my professional credibility and the honor of the Lakers, I really believe in you I just opened my mouth."
The tone was exaggerated, but Su Yang didn't take it seriously.
The magician must have his own plans, not to mention that the Lakers and Pelinka and other staffs asked themselves more because of their own authority. It got tens of thousands of likes.
Seeing the magician walk away, Su Yang was going to chat with Pritchard and McMillan. The Pacers also wanted to choose someone this time.
Unexpectedly, Jordan walked up quickly, raised his hand to signal Su Yang to wait, and said with a smile: "I was the first to line up..."
Seeing this, Su Yang shrugged helplessly at the Eagles, and Pritchard responded with a smile to express his understanding.
Jordan held Su Yang's shoulder and walked to the empty cubicle, handed over a glass of red wine prepared in advance, and said with a smile: "There is something I would like to ask you to refer to, we are interested in choosing Shay Alexander, and we also have a relationship with the Clippers Over there to discuss the exchange, but at two o'clock in the afternoon, I watched the TNT live broadcast and found that you had a high opinion of Shay, can you explain in more detail?"
Su Yang chuckled lightly when he heard the words, thinking it was because of this.
"Based on the friendship between the two of us, I can tell you clearly that if you choose Shay, it will be the most successful choice in your boss career. As for whether to exchange, it depends on how you plan your long-term goals, such as whether to renew Kemba's contract. Walker..."
The Hornets have Walker. After choosing Shai, it is the right choice to exchange Miles Bridges with the Clippers. But if the Hornets have made it clear that they will not renew Kemba Walker, then after choosing Shai, they don’t have to follow the fast Ship exchange, as core training.
The main Miles Bridges is also very good. In terms of the role of the court alone, the two have their own strengths and weaknesses.
So, like the Lakers, it's the long-term thinking that determines how the Hornets operate, rather than simply picking that player.
"Then you think Kemba..."
Jordan was only halfway through his words, and suddenly turned, "Then do you think it will be another Kobe-Divac-style swap?"
Su Yang saw Jordan's sharp turn, and guessed that Jordan probably felt that it was not appropriate to ask himself how to evaluate Kemba Walker, let alone ask whether it was necessary to renew the contract next season, so he temporarily asked whether he would be cheated by the Clippers. a handful.
After all, the last exchange between Divac of the Lakers and Kobe Bryant of the Hornets, and the exchange of Shay Alexander of the Clippers Miles Bridges and the Hornets this time, are all Godfather Jerry West, a bit at this moment, just like that time The sense of déjà vu at that moment.
"That's not enough, Kobe's top ten in history..."
Su Yang gave reassurance that Jordan must know that he would not be as exaggerated as Kobe and Divac. Doesn't Jordan understand Kobe's strength?This is care and chaos, too scared to let the Hornets be cheated by Jerry West again, it will be miserable.
"Okay, you're such a nice guy."
Jordan nodded in satisfaction, "Next time I come to Charlotte, I will invite you to taste the red wine I brewed myself. In a few days, I will fully support you in the council. Let's unite against those big cities. Don't let them rely on geography. If you have a strong advantage, you can grab people at will.”
Su Yang nodded in agreement.
The two walked out of the cubicle, and Jordan suddenly said: "By the way, the phrase 'I say what I say' during your live broadcast is quite imposing, and it is somewhat similar to mine back then. You can watch more of my documentaries and learn more advanced techniques." If you have any questions, come to me."
Su Yang smiled and shook his head.
Too lazy to respond.
Jordan was too determined to win or lose, and fell behind in management. He even took the initiative to ask for advice, but he had to seek compensation from other places.
While thinking about it, the old leaders Pritchard and McMillan came up to him, and unceremoniously asked who to choose.
Su Yang was not polite either. After asking about the Pacers' pick, he took another look at the profiles of the players to be drafted, and said directly: "I suggest you choose Kevin Huerter from the University of Maryland. He can match Jokic very well. , he was underestimated."
As far as the relationship between Pritchard and McMillan is concerned, helping is a reward, and it can also boost the Cavaliers and Celtics by the way.
"Okay, then we'll choose him..."
Pritchard agreed without any doubts. He had absolute trust in Su Yang. After all, Jokic had already demonstrated super strength.McMillan didn't have any objections either. From the Blazers, to the Lakers, to the Kings, they had a very good relationship with Su Yang.
After chatting for a few more words, Su Yang bid farewell to the two, and met Xinji to talk about Howard and McGee in detail.
"Did you see that tweet from Schmitz?"
Before we got down to business, Hinkie asked with a smile, "ESPN reporter Schmitz tweeted just now, saying that he learned from Magician and Jordan that both of them have asked you for advice on matters related to the draft. You have officially replaced Mr. Jerry West and become the latest godfather figure in the league, and you not only helped many teams become stronger, but also won all championships..."
