93. The alliance is a little mad
And the Lakers also compensated the Trail Blazers with 2.4 million cash, plus they don't have to pay McCollum's salary, which is equivalent to saying that the Lakers helped them pay the salary of a player who may be traded for a year!
However, people feel that the Lakers are in a hurry, but they seem that the Lakers are only a small loss, and there are no good free agents now, and they have no chips for better players, and the loss is at most the millions of cash, and a second-round draft lottery show is really not a loss.

Even ESPN's trade for the Lakers is described as a small win-win.
And with the precedent of Green and Antetokounmpo, there are still a few people who feel that the Lakers have taken a fancy to McCollum's talent, but only a very few, and their words did not cause any splashes, making the Lakers quietly muffled and making a fortune.
What does it mean to pass the audit in lightning?
The league taught all the teams this time, and it took Kupchak and Trail Blazers general manager Knell Orsi 10 minutes to negotiate a deal, submit the documents to the league, and the league spent 10 minutes reviewing the official website and announcing it.
It took less than half an hour from Kupchak's phone call to Orsie to the time the two met for a drink at Cajunfood in New Orleans over All-Star weekend after the deal was completed.
The media in Los Angeles are complaining that the league has gone crazy in order to add suspense to tomorrow's game between the two teams.
But I can't catch the problem! Didn't you always complain that the time limit for signing and trading stipulated by the alliance was too wrong? This time, it makes no sense to serve the two teams so efficiently.
Orsie used to be the general manager of the Clippers before being poached by the Trail Blazers last year.
Kupchak has a good relationship with Orsi, seeing that Kupchak is in trouble, he is happy to do a small favor, what is a friendly team? This kind of is a friendly team, if the management of the two teams has a good relationship, there is any harmless help to the other party in the future, for example, the star of the team really doesn't want to stay, you can send it to the friendly team.
Not all teams in this league are aiming for the championship now, of course, the championship is the ultimate goal of all teams, I'm talking about the current goal, there are only three or four teams that can compete for the championship a year, and now it seems that it is the Western Thunder, Spurs, Eastern Pacers, and Heat.
Most teams are just waiting for a chance to rise.
Some ways to wait for opportunities are to put them on the, such as the 76ers and the Cavaliers.
Some of them don't care what the record is, what the lineup is, and kill the opponent in every game, this is a rocket that has won the lottery for three consecutive years.
There are also those who are in the playoffs, but have no chance of winning the championship, these are trying to maintain the playoff seats as much as possible, show their strength, wait for the stars to join, it doesn't matter if there are no stars to join, anyway, if you work hard, the fans are happy.
The Trail Blazers are the third type, and the Lakers are considered to be a championship-level ranker, who calls them Lakers.
Orsi felt that whether it was out of personal friendship or for the sake of the team, he chose to agree to this deal, and he might need Kupchak's help in the future.
It's like the older generation of the Celtics, didn't they help them get Garnett back.
The afternoon training session was three hours from 1 a.m. to 4 p.m., with Liu Ren and Thackeray, Whiteside, and Antetokounmbo practicing for an hour to shoot.
Liu Ren won't talk about it, Antetokounmpo and Whiteside are both training freaks, and there was originally a Green, but Green was injured and still on crutches, and it was normal for these three to practice more.
I don't know why, Thackeray has been training harder and harder lately, he used to think about how to improve his dancing skills all day long, as well as celebratory moves, after all, it is difficult for him to have a chance to play, but now he actually practices shooting every day, and sometimes he is there alone to practice his feet or to practice his strength!
Liu Ren didn't know why Thackeray suddenly worked so hard, but it was a good thing, if Thackeray's strength could have an average level of ability, at least he could get a middle-class contract.
Just as they had gone to the dressing room to change their clothes after their practice, Kupchak ushered a man in.
Seeing that Liu Ren was still there, Kupchak called them over.
"Liu, Hassan, Robert, Giannis, come over here and I'll introduce you to a new teammate, this is CJ," Kupchak turned to the little man who was a head shorter than him after finishing to the four and said: "This is Hassan, Robert, Giannis and Liu, it was Liu who suggested that I trade you over, you are all young people to communicate more, choose an empty wardrobe, we are training here, you can find Gary if you have problems with training." ”
After Kupchak hinted to McCollum that Liu Ren had a certain say in the team, he left and went back to the office to submit McCollum's entry physical test report to the league, and after the official announcement of McCollum's official arrival, he can only participate in the game against the Lakers tomorrow.
Once again, the efficiency of the coalition is very high, almost passing in seconds.
McCollum's physical test made Kupchak's eyes shine, although the explosiveness is average, but the speed and core strength are excellent, all the basic skills are very skillful, and the muscle strength can almost be compared with the player who has completed the rookie contract, not the kind of player who has only played in college for a year or two, but a player who has fully developed and grown!
Now Kupchak's vision for Liu Ren is simply convinced, not to mention that Liu Ren's own strength is so strong, even if Liu Ren is just an ordinary starter, he is willing to give Liu Ren a salary when he looks at Liu Ren!
Liu Ren's side, he looked at McCollum, who was talking happily with Thackeray, and sure enough, as rumored, he didn't even reach 1.9 meters, but he filled in a height of 1.93 meters, which was a proper false report!
But it's strong.
Thackeray is really familiar with himself, and he has become acquainted with McCollum in two or three times, and he has to help the other party find a house to rent, which is a bit of a good old man.
Liu Ren and McCollum left a contact information and took the team bus home, and went to buy some food by the way.
McCollum looked at Liu Ren who had left, and his heart was full of gratitude. He has a little playmaking, but he can't play the point guard position, and the Trail Blazers point guard is an iron man, Lilard, who plays almost 40 minutes per game, and the Trail Blazers have two excellent players at the point guard position, he basically doesn't get playing time, and a third of the season has passed, he only plays in garbage time in eight games, and he feels like his future is not bright.
At this moment, the Lakers, who played team basketball this year and had a chance to perform as long as they worked hard, traded him, and he was excited when he was called to the office by Orsi at noon to hear the news, it was the Lakers! After the transaction was confirmed, he immediately went home, packed his things and flew to Los Angeles for a physical examination and physical examination.
When he knew that it was Liu Ren who asked the team to trade him, he was full of awe and gratitude to Liu Ren.
Establishing himself on the Lakers' bench and helping the team get through this difficult time and move into the rotation is what McCollum wants to do most right now.
