Pau Gasol's choice to join the Spurs is bad news for the Lakers.

The interior player that Kupchak wants to poach the most in the summer is Da Gasol, and fans also want to see Da Gasol and Guo Xu partner, which is their lost youth.

The two were just a little away from teaming up that year, and if Kupchak and Phil Jackson convinced Buss Sr. to trade Kobe, how many championships would Guo Xu and Pau Gasol lead the Lakers to? No one knows, it shouldn't be less than Guo Xu's in the sun.

Because of Bosh's 5-year 118 million pit, the Lakers can't give Gasol a high salary like the Spurs. The Spurs are going to fight next season, and Duncan took the initiative to take a salary cut to let Gasol join smoothly, and he hopes to win a championship at the end of his career and retire perfectly.

It is impossible to expect Gasol to take a significant pay cut, and he has maintained a better form than Nowitzki, with a balance between offense and defense. He is only 35 years old, there is no need to earn tens of millions less to compete for the championship, and it is not too late to hold his legs with a basic salary at the end of his career.

As for why the 33-year-old Wade is willing to take the base salary, who knows how James fooled him......

For Bosh, Lakers fans are scolding. The Knicks signed Stoudamire for 100 million in 2010, when Smalls held six championships. What about Bosh? The best record is in the second round of the playoffs, how can he have a higher salary than Xiao Si?

Now that the hidden danger is fully exposed, it is not good for free agents to join the Lakers unless they are willing to take a pay cut.

There are also free agents like Louis Williams who are reluctant to join the Lakers because of overlapping positions. He jumped out of contract because he didn't want to continue playing double guard with the Raptors and Lillard and wanted more playing time.

After rejecting the Lakers, Lowe chose to join the Nuggets.

The Lakers also invited David West, the Pacers' power forward in the class of 2003, but he was not optimistic about the Lakers and joined the Nets with a base salary.

West played in 66 games for the Pacers last season, averaging 11.7 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 28.7 minutes per game. He chose to jump out of his $12.6 million contract next season and really didn't care about the money.

The Nets look more champion after reinforcing the weakest No. 4 spot, and West's withdrawal is crucial.

The Jazz signed 2-year, 22 million to the Nets' libero Joe Johnson. "Singles Joe" won the championship in the Suns, he was not interested in going to Los Angeles to team up with Guo Xu to compete for the championship, and he was unwilling to take a salary cut, and he also refused the Nets' contract extension.

Guo Xu's little Jason Richardson also did not join the Lakers, he had a knee injury last season and chose to retire directly. He felt that he couldn't play anymore, and he had no motivation to fight after winning the championship.

Entering August, Kupchak has not signed a powerful big-name free agent, and he is almost out of sight.

Those who are willing to join the Lakers are veterans who are in a serious decline and can't play, and several role players who played well last season for the Lakers have also left.

When signing people, the manager was cautious and had to ask Guo Xu about his meaning first. Buss Jr. has long made it clear that Guo Xu's opinion must be sought for this year's recruitment, and so is the transaction, which is one of the important conditions for him to choose the Lakers.

Kupchak thought that Guo Xu would be angry, because the Lakers' lineup is really bad, the worst in history, and last season's difficult brothers and sisters 76ers have successfully strengthened.

As a result, Guo Xu was calm after listening to the manager's reinforcement report, and he thought that this kind of thing might happen when he was circulating. Wang Jun, an alien core, has a group of ordinary teammates, and the veterans are reluctant to join.

Because the veterans' time is running out, they can't afford to gamble, and the best way to compete for the title is to join the team that looks like the strongest team on the board. Guo Xu will be 35 years old next season, and after two years of retirement, they don't believe that he still has the same dominance as before.

Even if Guo Xu called every powerful veteran to assure, they might not believe it, because this matter violates the laws of physics.

Guo Xu circled a few people and replied to Kupchak on the Internet: "Just sign these people, I think it's not bad." ”

After reading the list, Kupchak was shocked. "Are you sure these people can do it?"

"Isn't there no better option? It's a big deal that I'm going to average more than 30 shots per game next season, and everyone else can top it for a few minutes, and I'm the best time to win. ”

“……”

Kupchak wants to say, can you lead a group of pig teammates if you want to win?

But the Lakers really have no better choice, not only the players don't believe that Guo Xu can lead the Lakers to win the championship, but the manager doesn't believe it either.

The Lakers' first signing, "Loyal Boy" Carlos Boozer joined with a base salary. His agent has always been Harpy Waters, and at the end of his career, he gave up his relationship with the Cavaliers to fight for a championship ring.

Boozer, who often chats with Harpy, has heard many legends about Guo Xu, and he believes that the rebuilt Lakers can win the championship.

The second signing, point guard Mo Williams joined with a base salary, and he is another person who has played for the Cavaliers for many years.

The Nets also threw an olive branch to Mo Williams, who chose the Lakers after considering it. He was purely convinced by Guo Xu, feeling that Guo Xu would create a miracle, if the two teams met in the finals, he was Guo Xu's opponent, and he was afraid that he would be beaten and cried.

In fact, Williams is one year younger than Guo Xu, a player born on December 19, 1982, but he firmly believes that Guo Xu is in much better shape than himself.

The third signing, Seth Curry, joined with a base salary.

This was requested by Guo Xu, and Kupchak originally did not want this player who recommended himself but did not have data. Seth is the younger brother of Stephen Curry, who is 188cm tall and weighs 84 kilograms, and is known as a two-way guard, but he is not suitable for playing either position. He didn't fight, he didn't organize, he just shot.

Guo Xu's reason for signing him made Kupczyk almost slide under the table. "When the Western Conference meets the Warriors, we can easily limit Stephen Curry's play. I'll call him and ask him to play match-fixing because his brother is in our hands. ”

The fourth signing, 3 years and 12 million won the veteran Vince Carter, this contract is not big, Carter can still play a role. Not only is he good at shooting three-pointers, but he can also break through with the ball, and he dunked a lot with the Grizzlies last season.

After Gasol left the Grizzlies, Carter had no interest in staying there and had no hope of competing for a championship.

The fifth signing, Matt Bonner, joined with a base salary.

Bonner of Earth One was miserable and did not receive the nickname "Red Mamba". The Spurs don't want Bonner either, because he hasn't helped the Spurs win a championship once.

Bonner, who was born in 80, was abused by Guo Xu when he was in college, and has been abused since entering the NBA, he joined the Spurs in 2006 and has been playing for all kinds of abuse.

In the peak 2008-09 season, he scored 8.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1 assist, shooting 44% from three-point range, and has been a role player. His code name is "Super Soft", he only floats outside to shoot, has no rebounds, and has poor defense.

Towards the end of his career, Bonner also hopes to get a championship ring.

The Lakers' 15-man lineup for the new season was confirmed, a major change was made, the free men were gone, and Guo Xu did not ask for a contract renewal. The only ones who worked were Nick Young and Ed Davis, both of whom were awarded big contracts.

Centre-forwards: Youssef Nurkic, Robert Thackeray, Matt Bonner.

Power forwards: Montres Harrell, Carlos Boozer, Al Horford, Chris Bosh.

Small forwards: Josh Richardson, Vince Carter, Andre Robertson.

Shooting guards: Jordan Clarkson, Devin Booker, Seth Curry.

Point guards: Guo Xu, Mo Williams.

When the Lakers lineup was released, everyone was stunned, can this kind of rag lineup win the championship? Isn't this a group of passengers who are old, sick, disabled, pregnant, and carrying children?

The Lakers are going to the lotto area this time......
