Then, the Lakers signed a two-year free to sign Williams with a team option for the second year. Yang Rui made a mistake before, Williams and the Jazz only signed a one-year contract with a minimum salary, and he is a free agent.

Kupchak signed a short-term contract with Mo Williams, and Yang Rui did not raise any objections, at which time Williams did not see any potential except for showing the characteristics of "not passing". If the Lakers sign a long-term contract with him directly, all the media will think that the Lakers management is a bunch of neurotics.

On the 3rd, the Lakers signed Damon Jones with 7 points and 5.8 assists last season, shooting 40.1% from the field and 35.9% from three-point range last season, two career highs.

Jones's agent couldn't believe it when he received the call and immediately agreed. Jones is also personally willing to join the Lakers and play in Los Angeles.

It's just that Yao Ming's center forward is not enough, Yang Rui has proposed a trade target to let Kupchak operate.

The Lakers sent veteran Robert Horry, got the Cavaliers' blue-collar center Desagana Diop and 300,000 cash compensation to achieve salary parity.

The Cavaliers are eyeing veteran Horry's ability to pull away, and in this year's draft, they selected Rafael Arauyo and Anderson Vallejo in succession to replace Diop.

Diop averaged 2.3 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.9 blocks in 13 minutes per game last season while shooting 37.8 percent from the field.

The previous season, Diop shot 35.1 percent from the field and averaged 11.8 minutes per game, 1.5 points and 2.7 rebounds.

His rookie season was even worse, playing 6.1 minutes, shooting 41.4 percent from the field, and 1.4 points and 0.9 rebounds.

Such data was actually played by the 8th pick rookie in the first round in 2001. It was actually a heavy center forward with a height of 213CM and a weight of 136 kg.

Diop's performance made the Cavaliers management want to scold the street, although when Diop was drafted, the Cavaliers knew that he had no shooting ability, but they naively thought that Diop was expected to develop a low-post offense and dominate in the low post by relying on his weight and strength, and as a result, he was not even as good as Rockets center Kevin Cato.

Yang Rui was very impressed by Diop in his previous life, and the peak of this wonderful career was the 07-08 season, averaging 2.9 points, 5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, and he never scored more than 3 points in a season in his career.

However, he played 12 seasons in his entire career. He played an average of 14 minutes, shooting 42.7% from the field and 46.7% from the free-throw line, and was the No. 1 player in history on the offensive end, with 2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 0.4 steals and 1 block.

Such a pit can play for 12 seasons, of course, there are advantages, Diop and Mavericks have signed a big contract, 5 years and 32 million.

Diop has only one strength, he is good at defending the box.

O'Neal played the worst Finals of his career in the 2006 Finals, which made many people think that Wade single-handedly led the team to win the championship. The Mavericks' defensive tactics are that Diop and Dampier are two to overhead O'Neal, and they don't need to be surrounded by outside teammates.

As a result, O'Neal scored more than 20 points in none of the six games, and in the second game, he made 2 of 5 shots and 1 of 7 free throws, and only scored 5 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists. In the sixth game, he shot 4-of-11 and 1-of-4 from the free-throw line to finish with nine points, 12 rebounds and one assist. Throughout the series, he averaged 13.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.83 blocks and 3.2 turnovers per game.

Diop is such an alternative center forward who can keep O'Neill out of the box.

After the deal was completed, Yang Rui called Kupchak and said with a smile: "Okay, the Lakers' championship lineup is basically completed." ”

"You're still rushing to the championship with this tattered lineup, are you kidding?"

has just turned 50 years old, and Kupchak, who has always been serious, can't help but complain. "Jerry, stop making a fuss, now you can say which star you're going to sign in free agency, right? If you move slowly, you will be in trouble if you are poached. ”

"I didn't say that I wanted to poach stars, it's enough to find a veteran, this is the Lakers' lineup for the new season, we develop our own stars." Yang Rui smiled.

"What? We still have a lot of salary space now, George and Fisher are gone, and our total salary is less than 50 million, just to the salary cap! Kupchek Khan said: "The boss said that he doesn't mind paying the luxury tax, let alone the luxury tax, the total salary ranks a few behind the league, is this still the tradition of the Lakers?" ”

"Come on, is the Lakers' tradition to spend money indiscriminately? Ha ha. Yang Rui was indeed joking, and said with a smile: "Mitch, I'm down to business, sign Rashid Wallace." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier? The free market has been open for a few days, and other teams have already contacted him, and he is a big fish in the free market this year. "Kupchak doesn't have a good airway.

"Didn't the news say that this guy came to Los Angeles? The other day he was almost at my house, saying that he would go wherever I joined. Yang Rui said a little proudly.

“……”

Rashid is a player with a lot of character and often plays cards out of the ordinary.

Leaving the Trailblazers, Rashid's goal in choosing a new club is to see if he can win the championship, he doesn't want to wait until he is old and can't move to a strong team to win the championship, which will not be taken seriously. He wanted to win the championship first, and then fight for a big contract for the end of his career, and the other way around.

As early as 2003, when he represented the Trail Blazers against the Wizards, he deliberately asked Yang Rui for his phone number, and he felt that the Trail Blazers had no future.

At the end of June, Rashid took his agent to Los Angeles to invite Yang Rui to dinner and begged to take him.

He's shrewd, thick-skinned and proactive, and he's willing to take a pay cut, provided the contract is shorter and the final year is a player option.

Rashid's current situation is different, the Pistons have Jeff Van Gundy as the coach, he wants to develop Milicic and reuse Oku, and he has not thought of trading Rashid.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Rashid was traded from the Trail Blazers to the Hawks and was sent to the Pistons after only one game. This was obviously insider trading, when the Pistons had the strength to win the championship, and the Trail Blazers were unwilling to "assist" them, so the Pistons resorted to a trick and a roundabout tactic.

Brown was good at this kind of violation, so his team was banned twice in the NCAA.

Rashid joined the Pistons, who won the championship in 2004. Later, Rashid signed a five-year, $57 million long-term contract and was named an All-Star twice with the Pistons.

The Lakers signed Rashid, the price can definitely be cheaper, his reputation is not good, and many people regard him as a cancer.

In fact, Rashid is very strong, he is 211CM tall, weighs 104kg, and is good both offensively and defensively.

On the offensive end, he plays low back, breaks through in the high post, dunks on the bottom line, and is proficient in all empty three-point points, and the entire three-point line is his offensive range, and the best thing is to turn over the straight arm and jump shot on the left and right side of the bottom line.

On the defensive end, he has excellent height and arm span, strong mobility, first-class defensive awareness, and is good at switching blocks and helping defenses, but because of his light weight and lack of outstanding interior defense, he has not been selected for the All-Defensive Team.

Kupchak felt that it was difficult to rebuild, but it became easier as soon as Yang Rui came, and this is the magic of the reborn.

Yang Rui casually proposed, and the Lakers formed the "Big Four", and the total salary did not have to pay luxury tax. As long as he cultivates a few more potential newcomers, the Lakers can directly win the championship in the new season!
