Super Small Forward

: 22. Sign Whiteside

   "Mike, what do you think of these two people?"

   "This is Baibian? Liu has a really good vision! I don't know where he saw this guy!"

  Why can't this guy be in the NBA?

   Kupchak looked at the big man in front of him, and couldn't understand how he thought, the king would cut this big man with such excellent athletic ability and physical talent?

   What is the most valuable in the NBA, the center!

   A big man with such a height and weight who can still have this kind of mobility and flexibility, even if he looks at it, he has to spend a middle class, right? There are a lot of teams that are willing to give tens of millions of annual salaries!

There is also this point guard. This point guard is not recommended by Liu Ren, but it also makes Kupchak a bright spot. Although it is defensive, there is almost no passing, but the pass is really in place, and it is in place to have a sense of assisting. Can pass directly to teammates to score.

   Brush assists, you have to have that ability! People are able to deliver the ball to the teammate who has the last chance. Isn't Nash the same? It's just that Nash's personal offensive ability is extremely good, so that opponents dare not let go of him or even double-team him. He can still send assists at critical moments. This guy does not have this ability, but it is also a good choice to lead the second team as a substitute.

   These two people are Whiteside and Marshall, two former NBA players who were waived by the team.

Fortunately, Marshall was waived by the Suns in the middle of last season. It is not far from the NBA. Whiteside has been away from the NBA for nearly two years. He was waived less than two months after the start of the 10-11 season. Work, can only go to China for gold in the 12-13 season, who knows that he is not even required for CBA.

Today is the Lakers’ first trial day of the offseason. Kupchak invited many overseas players and free agents. When they went to the CBA to find contact information for Whiteside, they didn’t find it. Later they found out that this guy is in China. Can't even play CBA, can only play in the lower league.

   Kupchak was immediately annoyed, who is Liu Ren's recommendation!

   But since all the invitations were sent, he could only look at it, but he didn't expect to find a gem!

   By the way, Marshall, who can always deliver the ball to Whiteside in various ways, also entered Kupchak’s sight.

"Sign it! Be sure to sign!" Kupchak made this decision after only watching a training session. Marshall was willing to sign for one year first, but Whiteside must stay, a four- to five-year long-term contract. Go down! Anyway, his worth is not high, even if it is not suitable, such a big man's transaction is easy.

   Without Howard, the Lakers are really weak inside! Gasol and the Lakers look very close, and the team is sorry Gasol, it is not easy to keep him, no superstar insider contract expired in the past two years, see the potential big man Kupchak without hesitation Will shoot.

   Kupchak's eyes on Liu Ren suddenly looked up a lot, and thought: This kid has a hand, and it seems that unwilling players also have unwilling benefits, and he knows many people who have suffered the same.

  ……

   "Hassan, do you think the Lakers will keep us?" Marshall took a sip of the energy drink and said.

   Just now, Marshall tried his best to show himself. Whether he can stay or not is up to his fate.

"I don't know, I hope I can stay. I don't want to go overseas anymore." Whiteside is much calmer than two years ago. If the Kings see the current Whiteside, they will definitely give out the contract without hesitation. They know Whiteside's talent, but the young man's character is too bad, ridiculously poor, completely lacking the quality of a professional player.

   After two years of polishing, he couldn't even play in the senior league overseas, so Whiteside's edges and corners were smoothed out, but his surly character was smoothed out and his heart was still there, otherwise he would make money overseas.

"I heard that overseas salaries are very high! If I have the opportunity, I plan to go overseas to try, but I heard that overseas teams want players who can do anything, I guess it's not a good thing." Marshall said that Whiteside made a lot of money playing overseas. Envy, at most he plays in the NBA with a basic salary, which is what his agent told him.

   "This is not a question of money, I want to prove that I am still an NBA player, I am an NBA center." Whiteside said solemnly.

Whiteside is very determined, but he also knows that it is not easy. He is ready to retreat. If he fails to return to the United States for a trial, he will still return to the NBL to play. The NBL is the Chinese basketball secondary league. Then a little chance can join the CBA, which can be regarded as a reserve alliance for the expansion of the CBA.

Marshall understands Whiteside’s thoughts, but he knows his abilities, and he will be able to stand up as a main substitute. He will not fight for anything, but will only try to do what he can, which is a very good one. Substitute players.

   Just as the two were chattering uncomfortably, Dan D'Antoni, the brother of the Lakers assistant and coach Mike D'Antoni, came to them.

   "Kenta, Hassan, the general manager wants you to go there." Dan D'Antoni told his assistant to take the two to the general manager's office. He had other things to do.

  As the team's first assistant coach, Dan D'Antoni is very busy, and there are a bunch of players in trial training. He wants to watch them one by one, and then write a good comment for the general manager and the head coach to watch.

Whiteside is recommended by Liu Ren. Kupchak will watch him try out on the second floor of the training hall. Others Kupchak will not watch him. He will only show up unless he is a good free agent. body.

   Whiteside and Marshall were surprised. They knew what it meant. If the trial failed, they would be notified to leave. This means the Lakers meant to keep them.

   Even if it is a training camp contract, they will work hard!

   But things that surprise them even more are behind!

When they arrived at the general manager’s office, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Kupchak and D'Antoni asked where they lived, their previous games and some life matters. Under the anxious mood of the two, they took out Two-point contract.

   Marshall's is a 1+1 contract with the team option, the second year is non-guaranteed, the first year's salary is 1.5 million, and the second year is 1.57 million.

   Marshall was very satisfied with the one-year guarantee contract. In addition to his anxiety, he signed it directly without even notifying the agent.

   On the other side, Whiteside also didn't notify the agent, signed the contract, and didn't even look at the salary. He didn't care about the salary at all. Otherwise, the salary of playing in the NBL is much higher than here. He just wants to return to the NBA.

   When Kupchak gave him his contract after the signing was completed, Whiteside was very excited when he saw the contract period above.

   6.4 million in 4 years!

   What makes Whiteside excited is not salary. He can get this salary in two years overseas. What he is excited about is the contract period. The first two years are fully guaranteed, and the next two years are team options! That is, a 2+1+1 contract!

The icing on the cake will not produce much friendship. It will only make people grateful if the charcoal is given in the snow. Whiteside has tasted the pains in the past two years. Someone is willing to offer him a contract, and he was given a contract for the first trial training. Grace.

   After all, Whiteside is a very simple person. He wants to return to the NBA to play and prove himself. Otherwise, it won't look stupid to others to get a basic salary, instead of easily earning several times the salary overseas.

   People with ideals and goals are often the easiest to succeed.
