Before ten o'clock in the morning, Kobe Bryant called Odom again and made an appointment to meet at the training ground.

At half past ten, Kobe and Big Ben both arrived, and what the two didn't expect at all was that Odom actually came with Pau Gasol.

"Lamar, what's going on?" Big Ben frowned at Odom, who he thought had betrayed them, and now brought Big Gasol to dissuade them.

"Ben, I'm here to cheer you on, although this matter doesn't have a lot to do with me, but Coach Richard has helped Mark Jr. a lot, and I hope I can do my part." Pau Gasol said with a smile.

The Gasol family is quite grateful to Richard, and in their opinion, if it weren't for Richard's support, Mark Jr. might have been eliminated from the league now, after all, he was just a rookie, and he didn't have any decent brilliance when he first joined the league.

And now although Mark Jr. is still not a starter on the Pirates team, no one will estimate the most important interior bench for the Pirates team.

It may be that after the end of Mark Jr.'s contract with the Buccaneers, many teams will submit a considerable contract to Mark Jr., and it is not impossible to even give a contract with a maximum salary.

Strong interior defense, super-first-class blocking and pick-and-roll ability, super-first-class interior organization ability, and even a good three-point firepower, which team doesn't want such an interior player?

Jordan is actually having a headache over Mark Jr.'s contract right now......

This kind of super high-quality interior player, he naturally wants to stay in the team and continue to play for him, but the contract can't be solved at all.

He's not Richard, and Richard can give up any player on the team and get a replacement for a pretty cheap price in free agency or in the draft, and Jordan has that ability......

That's why it doesn't take too long for Richard to start crumbling when Richard leaves a team.

Although the Pistons have always been strong, they actually have no possibility of competing for the championship now.

……

In any case, it is now a foregone conclusion that Gasol Jr. will leave the pirates to get the top salary, and the Gasol family is grateful to Richard for supporting Mark Jr.

Of course, in fact, even without Richard, little Gasol would definitely be able to rise, but the Gasol family would definitely not know about this......

Richard is his brother's benefactor, and the relationship between Gasol and his brother is quite good, so in this case, he naturally wants to get involved, at least he can thank Richard for his brother.

Hearing Big Gasol's words, Big Ben's face turned beaming with joy.

"Okay, then the four of us will let that Jim Bass go around without eating this time."

Fifteen minutes later, all four were in the office of Lakers head coach Zen Master Jackson.

To the horror of the Zen master, all four of them submitted trade applications!

What is the trade application? That would naturally be asking the team to trade their own application......

This directly frightened the Zen master's face, what kind of joke? These four are almost the core players of the team's top four, and now they are all asking the team to trade themselves, so the Lakers will have a ball next season......

The Zen master also knew what happened last night from Jeanie Buss, and when he heard that Richard was angrily yelling at his girlfriend Jeanie Buss, he was also holding back a fire in his heart......

But now this fire obviously can't be sent, and the Lakers are going to be in chaos.

Although the Zen master also knows that it is unlikely that these four people will actually leave the Lakers, who can say for sure?

These four people have now shown their attitude, they are on Richard's side, if the Lakers don't handle this matter well, I'm afraid it will really leave a problem in the hearts of the four, which is definitely not good news for the Lakers.

All the core players of the team are dissatisfied with the players, which is not a good thing from any point of view.

This sudden situation made the Zen master a little flustered, and he didn't know what to do at all, so he could only say something to appease the four people and let the four people not get excited......

At the same time, he was also angry in his heart, this incompetent idiot was really full of food and caused so much trouble for the team.

……

The Zen master comforted the four of them for half an hour, and his mouth was dry, and he didn't see any perversion on the four of them.

When the four of them left his office, he only heard a report from his staff, who had summoned the media for a press conference.

This made the Zen master even more restless......

……

"I'm afraid you all know what happened last night."

"Now I only have one feeling, and that is shame, I am a part of the Lakers, and Jim Buss's behavior is not only a shame on the Buss family, but also a shame on every player in our Lakers."

"I don't want to play under that kind of person, so I've just requested a trade with the Lakers."

As the big boss of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant was naturally the first to speak at the press conference.

At this moment, his words directly made the entire venue silent......

Kobe Bryant submitted a trade request to the team?! This is definitely shocking news that can detonate the alliance.

He's played with the Lakers for more than a decade, and he's been the absolute leader of the team since O'Neal left, so you can imagine how popular he is among the Los Angeles fan base.

In today's league, in terms of popularity, there is no doubt that Kobe Bryant is the highest.

Kobe Bryant, who is the most popular now, is going to run away? Just because of the Jim Bass thing......

The reporters didn't know what to say anymore, they just knew that this time the Bass family was going to have a pain.

As soon as Kobe's voice fell, Big Ben also spoke slowly.

"When I chose to join the Lakers, there was Kobe Bryant, and of course, the most important reason was that Coach Richard didn't stop me from coming to Los Angeles."

"If Coach Richard had stopped me from coming to Los Angeles, I don't think I would have come to Los Angeles."

"Now I deeply regret my decision, and I would like to advise all West Lafayette players to stay away from the Lakers if they do want to move in the future, this is definitely not a team worth playing for."

"This year is my contract year, and I was thinking of signing a base salary next year and playing with Kobe Bryant for another two years, but now it seems that this is impossible."

"By the way, I also submitted a trade application." Big Ben said to the reporters with an ugly face.

"Ahem, although I haven't played for Coach Richard, but we people have the mark of Coach Richard deeply engraved in our bones, so this kind of thing happened, no matter what, I can't assume that I don't know."

"So, I also submitted a trade request to the team......" Odom said with a grin, this guy is a little bit out of the woods.

The reporters on the scene have been confused, and the three core players have submitted trade requests? The Lakers are going to be completely finished......

While the Lakers will certainly reject these trade requests, what if these people don't make a difference? What about the forced palace Lakers?

For a while, many reporters looked at Pau Gasol who was sitting next to Odom, could it be that he also submitted a trade request to the team?

Seeing that many reporters were looking at him, Pau Gasol said with some embarrassment: "That's right, you are right, I did submit a trade application like them." ”

"As for why, well, I don't know why, probably because of Mark."

Many reporters are already buzzing in their heads, and the Lakers are going to finish their rhythm......

All of the team's core players are leaving, and it's just because Jim Bass and Richard are clashing?

And the point is that it was Jim Bass who suffered this time......

By the end of the press conference, the reporters had not recovered from the shock.

And even more shocked than them was the Lakers' management.

"Damn it!"

"Damn it!"

"Smack!" Jim Bass was confined to his luxury apartment by Old Bass, and after learning that the four core players of the Lakers had applied to leave the team, the whole person was mad with anger, and the things around him were smashed by him.

He couldn't figure out why the current situation was so difficult.

And after listening to the Zen master's report, the whole person also sighed.

Things were already heading for the worst he had envisioned.

And the big problem now is that Richard hasn't made a move yet......

In the case that Richard did not make a move, the situation has reached a point where it is difficult for the Lakers to solve, and when Richard makes a move, the Lakers are expected to face greater difficulties.

Old Bass felt that Richard might be about to make a move, and they would be able to see Richard's attitude before the end of the day.
