Chapter 386 The signing plan of the substitute lineup
Los Angeles, Staples Center.
In the general manager's office, Lin Feng found Kupchak and asked him to work on whether he could directly get the United Arab Emirates to the Lakers through this transaction.
"Lin, why did you come here suddenly today?"
Kupchak was surprised to see Lin Feng coming.
He knew that both Lin Feng and Kobe had gone to China, why did Kobe not come back yet, but Lin Feng first appeared in Los Angeles?
"Lin, didn't you go to China with Kobe?"
"Yes." Lin Feng nodded slightly, "I went to Huaxia, and I have to come back anyway. I came to see you today, and I have something to talk about."
"Oh! What do you want to talk to me about?"
Kupchak was suspicious.
After signing the big contract, what else is there to talk about?
Could it be that Lin Feng was dissatisfied with the $4000 million for two years?
"Lin, isn't our contract already signed? What else do you want to talk about?"
"Mr. Kupchak, do we have a first-round pick in this year's draft?"
Ok?
Kupchak was stunned when he heard this.
Out of curiosity, Lin Feng asked what this was for.
The Lakers have the first-round pick, but they just don't know who to pick.
And this draft pick is in the lottery, and the Lakers didn't take it seriously.
"Lin, why are you asking this? Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Well, indeed." Lin Feng nodded, "To be honest, in this year's draft, there is a player from China, and he is about to land in the NBA."
"However, I feel that the Lakers may not be able to select him. I hope the team can get this Chinese player through some operations."
When Kupchak heard it, he immediately understood.
Lin Feng wanted to go through the back door, and asked the Lakers to help him get a rich team for his buddy in his country.
Many rookies want to come to the Lakers.
After all, they are giants in the league, if they are allowed to choose by themselves.
He also prefers to choose the Lakers instead of the small ball city of Milwaukee.
Kupchak paused and said, "Lin, I know what you mean. In this year's draft, there is a player from China. Do you want him to play with you? Come to our Los Angeles Lakers?"
"Yes, Mr. Kupchak, can you do it for me?"
Lin Feng looked at Lao Ku.
"I'm sorry Lin, I can't say anything about this kind of thing alone. Every team will cherish the first-round draft pick, and it's not just a random pick."
Kupchak said seriously: "Of course, if you can convince Jenny Buss, I think this matter can still be discussed."
Going to see Aunt Jenny?
"Is she in Los Angeles now?" Lin Feng asked again.
"Of course, Jenny didn't go anywhere, she was at home."
"You give her a call and ask her to come over and I'll talk to him in person."
"can."
Kupchak agreed.
In normal times, he would not do this kind of thing for players.
But it's different now. Lin Feng is now the Lakers' cash cow.
In the first season, he brought the Lakers a championship.
Kupchak is very discerning, he did not dare to offend Lin Feng easily.
Soon, he called Jenny.
When Jenny heard that Lin Feng had something to do with her, she immediately left for the Lakers office area.
Waiting for Jenny to come over in the office, Lin Feng chatted with Kupchak.
Kupchak asked: "Lin, what position does the Huaxia player you mentioned play?"
"We have to consider whether the team can use him."
"Position four, power forward."
Lin Feng answered concisely.
Ah Lian is still very powerful in the fourth position.
In the Men's Basketball World Championships in later generations, Yao Ming and others retired, and it was all supported by Ah Lian.
It's just that in this era, the personal level of the United Arab Emirates is not good enough.
After he came to the Lakers, he can be Odom's substitute.
Odom can play both the third and fourth positions.
In fact, the United Arab Emirates can also play the fourth and third positions.
Strictly speaking, the UAE is also a projection-type power forward.
Although the accuracy is not as terrifying as the old driver, the UAE can still make some open shots.
Of course, sometimes, the United Arab Emirates can fly dunks.
His physical fitness is not bad, as long as someone feeds him the ball, he can find the best time to break through.
At the same time, hearing Lin Feng's answer, Kupchak nodded: "The fourth position is okay, our team also needs to strengthen the substitute lineup."
"If you, a player from your country, can come to the Lakers, you can be Odom's substitute."
"That's right, old Ku, I thought so too."
The two were chatting, and Jenny came.
As soon as she entered the door, Jenny greeted Lin Feng warmly: "Lin, you came back so soon after going back to China for vacation?"
"Yes, come back early to deal with some things."
"My God, you are such a restless man."
Jenny smiled, and then said: "Lao Ku called me just now, saying that you are going to let us win a Chinese player in this year's draft?"
"What's his name?"
"Yi Jianlian!" Lin Feng replied.
"Yi Jianlian?"
Jenny froze for a moment, feeling a little impressed.
Before the start of the draft every year, the league will distribute the list of all players who have passed the draft to each team.
As for player data, it is very simple and not detailed.
If you want detailed data, you also need the team to observe this player by themselves.
In 2007, the Lakers didn't have any top draft picks, and the Bass family didn't plan to get any rookies in the draft.
After all, this year is not a draft year, and there are no particularly outstanding players.
To say that the outstanding ones are Du Xiaoshuai and Auden the Great.
But Emperor Aoden and Du Xiaoshuai already had their next home.
The Lakers just won the championship, it is impossible to get these two.
As for other players, the Lakers have no interest and are going to take a step at a time.
It is best to be able to find powerful players, but if you can't find them, you will make some trades and signings in the future.
The main lineup is the substitute lineup. In terms of the main lineup, Jenny and Kupchak are very relieved.
With the Lin Ke combination, they are not afraid at all.
As long as Kobe and Lin Feng continue to perform last season on the court, it is possible to win another championship this season.
"Lin, tell me, who do you want us to get?"
Jenny, like Kupchak, has a lot of respect for Lin Feng.
They thought that it was Lin Feng who regarded the Lakers as his home, in order to sign up for the bench.
Even if Lin Feng doesn't say it, the Lakers will consider signing up for the bench this season.
After all, the Lakers' bench lineup is too weak.
Every team's bench lineup can almost completely blow up the Lakers.
Seeing Jenny's cheerful look, Lin Feng stopped talking and said bluntly, "I want the team to get Yi Jianlian. No matter which team he is selected by, I hope we can let him come to the Lakers!"
"It's as simple as that, Lao Ku and Aunt Jenny, can you agree?"
After Lin Feng asked, he looked at the two with a smile.
