441. Kidd's beautiful yearning

Antetokounmpo blushed a little, but the dark skin couldn't be seen, he was very nervous now, but he was very unhappy with the Bucks in his heart, so he still said to reporters: "Actually, I personally like the Bucks, there are my idol Abdul-Jabbar in his most glorious years, I really want to play in the Bucks, I was so happy when I was drafted by the Bucks, I thought I could help my idol lead the Bucks back up, but unfortunately they traded me away." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info But okay, the Lakers are Abdul-Jabbar's second peak, and I'm thankful to the Bucks management. ”

A non-Los Angeles reporter asked, "Let me assume that if the Lakers can't give you a contract extension due to salary space and other reasons, will you choose to come back to the Bucks?" ”

Antetokounmpo replied: "It's not impossible, I love the Lakers, but if you can't stay here, the Bucks where Abdul-Jabbar used to stay would be a good choice." ”

"So you're planning to go back to the Bucks?"

Antetokounmpo showed hesitation on his face, and after a while, he said: "I don't think it will be for the time being, they are the worst team in the league now, the record is too bad, I haven't played in a team with such a bad record, I'm afraid I won't be able to adapt to the rebuild, I'd rather take less money than this and play in a strong team." ”

As soon as Antetokounmpo's words came out, the reporters instantly felt that the explosion was coming!

After entering February, the Lakers' schedule this month is only a game with highlights against the Knicks and Cavaliers, and there is no suspense about anything else, and the other teams are starting to tighten up at this time, and the media's attention is intended to be on the upcoming All-Star weekend and other popular teams.

The league thought the same way, giving the Lakers an easy schedule after a wave of shopping with other strong teams in January.

Who would have thought that if he came to interview the Lakers today according to the usual practice, he would actually hear a young player say this.

Antetokounmpo has shown unparalleled talent in the Lakers this season and a half, although he is not as mature as Odom at the beginning, and his overall strength is not as good as Odom in his rookie period, but that talent is not worse than Odom at all!

In this era of all-around justice, Antetokounmpo is a player whose height is equal to a big forward or even a center, rebounding is not the top but also has first-class talent, and can promote the organization like a point guard, the speed can be compared with that of a guard, and the most important thing is a player with a certain shooting talent, is it a superstar embryo!

There are already many teams eyeing Antetokounmpo, the Lakers' current roster structure, Green and Whiteside are undoubtedly the core combination of the Lakers' future interior line, Gasol's strength is still there, these three are basically the Lakers' core framework for the next four or five years, so many teams think that they have a chance to get Antetokounmpo, and it is not impossible to use some more expensive chips.

For example, the Bucks, they are now repentant.

After Garnett was traded back to where the dream began, the Nets and Bucks reached an agreement in which the Bucks acquired Kidd, the best of young coaches, for a second-round pick and cash.

After Kidd came to the Bucks, he saw that Antetokounmpo, who was traded by the Bucks to the Lakers, scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists per game as a substitute in his sophomore year, and almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood.

Such a talented ball-handling interior line actually changed back to a Meeks?

Kidd wondered if he was in the wrong place, if the Bucks hadn't given him team decision-making power and let him take care of the trade side, he really wanted to quit and leave, and he felt a lot of pressure to work with a group of people with not very good brains.

Originally, Kidd was already looking forward to the draft conference after this season, the Bucks are now ranked second to last in the East, and the first-to-last 76ers have gradually risen after the trade with the Suns, and may not be able to "keep" the first-to-last! For the 76ers, getting out of the bottom is already a big step forward! At least there is hope.

Except for the Timberwolves, who have only won seven games in the West, which has played half a season, the Bucks feel that it is a little difficult to be worse than them, and the Bucks have the possibility of getting the top three picks.

This year's draft features Towns, Russell, Okafor, Moodier, Willie Stein, Stanley Johnson and others, and although it is not as talented as '12 and '14, it is also a proper draft year!

Kidd originally planned to select a young core with top talent from these people, develop it for a year next season, with the Bucks' existing good role players, and then spend a lot of money on an All-Star-caliber player in the free market in 16, which is about to make a drastic change in the NBA's salary, and lead the Bucks to the playoffs in the East.

Kidd has a pretty good mind, and he is a good candidate to be both a coach and a general manager, and everything is being planned in an orderly manner.

It's not just that the team itself has a poor record and bad results, Kidd has begun to take the initiative to rot, Downs, Russell, Okafor, one of these three is Kidd's inevitable win!

But now Kidd feels like he's been hit hard after hearing about Antetokounmpo's thoughts on the Bucks!

Co-authored they have a chance to get Antetokounmpo again!

But now Antetokounmpo can't look down on their record!

Now Kidd is starting to get tangled.

It is to wait for Antetokounmpo to expire in two years, during which time to build the team into a quasi-playoff team, rob the Lakers in the summer of '16, and use a big contract that the Lakers can't accept when a large group of young players on the Lakers need to renew.

Or do you want to keep swinging, betting on draft picks, picking a core, and rebuilding the team the way it was planned?

The initial plan seems to be gradual, but the key is one word - bet!

The draft is a gamble, even if it is the champion with the highest success rate, there will be a parallel import every few years, in case the wrong person is chosen, and a high-pick rookie who was very good in college but can't do it in the NBA will have to be postponed for another year.

In contrast, it is not impossible to try to cultivate a winning culture for the team, first dig up some good team puzzle pieces in the summer of '15, trade this year's draft picks for a quality player, let the team play a good record next season, and wait until the summer of '16 to throw a super cap salary to Antetokounmpo, and have a chance to win another All-Star or even a top superstar who is willing to come to the Bucks because of Antetokounmpo!

Compared with the risky draft, look at the Timberwolves, Kings and other teams know that betting on the draft is very unreliable, or betting on whether Antetokounmpo can be poached is more attractive to Kidd!

After all, most team management in the league is unanimously determined that even if they are willing to spend money like the Lakers, they will not be able to keep all their potential stocks.

Liu Ren's top salary can't run, Green and Whiteside are stronger than Antetokounmpo in the Lakers' tactical position and existing strength, Gasol is not tradable, and the Lakers are most likely to give up Antetokounmpo!

Kidd is a very decisive person, and he makes a decisive decision on the spot and follows a new way of thinking!

"From this one onward, Antetokounmpo felt our desire to win! Let him have a new understanding of us, and then the rest of the game will not continue to be deliberately rotten,! Try to win and create a good atmosphere for the team to attract some good players in the summer! Kidd immediately decided on a new team building strategy!

If it is used for trading, it is not so important how the picks are in this year's draft, if they are used by themselves, according to the new team building strategy, Kidd is ready to select players with stronger combat power, then the pick only needs to be in the top ten, and it is too much loss to choose a player with strong combat power if it is too high.

As for Towns, Okafor, Russell, and Moodier, the four top picks, Kidd is no longer considered, and in the face of Antetokounmpo's top-level talent that has already been exhibited, is it necessary to bet on those talents that are only shown in college? The talent shown by college is very unreliable, right?

That is, rookie players, recruiting role players, cultivating a winning culture, poaching Antetokounmpo, and using the four steps you have completed to attract another superstar, and complete the rebuild in two years!

Kidd seems to see a bright future for the team!
