Yes, who else in this league is more suitable for James than Davis?

Regarding this point, it is not only the theoretical technical agreement between the two, but also the actual combat as proof.

In last year's All-Star Game, the two had a supernatural understanding, and everyone could see that they were perfect for each other.

In the words of some James fans: With defense, range, and the ability to take charge at certain times, Davis is simply a player born for James. What about Love? Bosh is nothing compared to Davis.

Worth mentioning!

"I'm going to contact the Pelicans."

Paul nodded quickly after listening.

If he leaves the Warriors, there are only two best places for James to go.

One is the Lakers, and the other is the Pelicans.

From a business perspective, the Lakers are the better choice.

But now what James wants is no longer purely commercial.

Then Davis and the Pelicans are better choices.

As long as the Pelicans can deal with Cousins' expiring contract.

Then with the contracts vacated by other role players, they can also form a Big Three lineup.

Of course, there is a lot of doubt as to whether this will happen. After all, the Pelicans are not a team capable of doing big things.

Or maybe no one said they had to do it in New Orleans.

After George set the precedent of changing teams during the contract period, the contract is no longer as binding on players as it was before.

…

Two days after the championship parade, Walken Dean found Lin Ying.

The purpose is to talk about the upcoming draft and free market.

Previously, Lin Ying and Lu shouted out the slogan of Dynasty, and it was natural that it would come true later.

I dare to shout because I have enough self-confidence, but self-confidence is based on sufficient preparation. Smart people do not fight unprepared battles.

Over the past few years, Walken Dean has completely trusted Lin Ying's vision, so after setting the goal of the dynasty, he will naturally need Lin Ying's opinion.

After last season, the Nets also had some personnel changes.

For example, in the previous roster, two veterans, David West and Jack, had already talked to him about their plans to retire.

Jack also said that he was originally someone who had a big hand in the last years of his career and was not in the rotation, but West's words are an important rotation, and someone will definitely need to support him when he retires.

There is also Rose, Curry Jr.'s contract has expired, Johnson has been suspended, and even Bradley and Ariza's contracts have only one year left to expire.

These details, which don't seem to affect the main body, will also be key to the Nets' performance next season.

After all, as the public enemy of the league, their playing style and even the habits of their core players have been thoroughly studied by their opponents.

At this time, we need surprise troops and some fresh blood to break the situation.

"Both Derrick and Seth have good markets, so we may have to choose one of them and keep one."

Although the free market has not yet begun, general managers generally have their own private channels and will get some information first.

Most of Warken Dean's transactions in recent years have been mutually beneficial, so unlike Anji and Mosaic, who repeatedly cheated his opponents, his information is still relatively accurate.

"I tend to keep Derek, he has a greater role."

Walken Dean continued.

Lin Ying nodded and did not object.

Curry's three-pointer is very stable, but as Walken Dean said, Rose is definitely more effective in choosing one of the two.

Moreover, Curry is still easily targeted on the defensive end. Ross seems to have recovered from his injuries for the most part last season, and his defense is at least above average.

So this trade-off is easy. After all, hitting the critical moment is not only about attacking, but also about defending.

As for the inside, Nene was in good shape last season and can basically replace West's role last season.

In addition, Zhou Qi has been trained well and will need some playing time next season.

Therefore, the end point of their summer reinforcements should be the small forward or the swingman.

Walken Dean valued a person.

"Josh Hart."

Lin Ying was not surprised when he heard this name. Hart was ready to fight after four years of college. His physical talent was average, but he had 3D potential.

This kind of player is best suited for the Nets.

Moreover, Hart's potential in history is quite good. His upper limit is not just a 3D player, but a main player potential.

However, Lin Ying also provided another plan after nodding.

"If possible, OG Anunoby is also a good choice. He is a Kawhi Leonard, Crowder, Siakam type player."

Although Hart is good, the Nets already have Ariza and Bradley, and the latter two are still at their peak. They are not yet in a state where they need to cultivate successors. Even if Hart is selected, it will be a long time. Sitting on the bench for a long time.

But the Nets are short of people on the front line. They had Crowder and Johnson before, but Crowder was traded and Johnson was suspended. Even if they want to sign Johnson back, they still need someone to support them.

Walken Dean wrote down the name. Anunoby is only a freshman this year. His playing style in college is indeed a bit similar to Leonard's, but his talent is slightly different.

Moreover, selecting him requires an upward trade, so there will be uncertainty.

Just like when Lin Ying gave him advice, but in the end Walken Dean chose to trade down and choose someone else.

However, the draft has set a set goal, and the direction of signing players in the free market has become clear.

A swingman or a swingman is the focus of the Nets' summer signing.

Although Rose's big contract expires, the contracts of the Nets' core players such as Lin, Durant, and Lin are increasing year by year. The extra salary space for the Nets next season will only be about 20 million, which is still not renewed. About Rose's own case.

Moreover, after the salary cap increased, new contracts also increased accordingly. The previous mid-level salary was 7 million, but now it is directly 15 million.

Therefore, the Nets' salary space is not as rich as it seemed before, and they can only sign two, or even one, key players.

Then at this time, Lin Ying and Walken Dean almost said the same person in unison.

After they finished speaking, they both couldn't help laughing.

This is really a consensus among heroes.

And they have enough reason to believe that person will be interested in the Nets.

…

Los Angeles, a private villa.

James has completed his second facial surgery.

This time he was in a happier mood.

Don't tell me, he feels like his appearance becomes better every time he undergoes an operation.

Sure enough, the top Korean doctor that Paul Fu found for him was quite reliable.

Of course, this was not the only thing that made him happy.

Also, things are progressing with the Pelicans.

Rich Paul's business ability is still very strong. The management of the Pelicans has been convinced by him, and they have decided to give it a go when they are sure that they can get James.

Moreover, Paul Fu also continued his previous Cao Cao, using his special status to get in touch with some big-name free agents.

If nothing else, as long as the Pelicans can handle Cousins' contract, the Big Three of the Pelicans will come.

Don't think New Orleans' football market is small, but wasn't Cleveland's football market even smaller back then?

Moreover, New Orleans has been under the care of the league because of the original purchase of the league and the management of the team, and the All-Star Game has been back and forth many times.

Now that James is gone, the football market will develop very quickly.

Just like the Nets have Lin Ying, in just a few years, they have already suppressed the Knicks, who were originally thought to be impossible to shake.

Everything is ready, it just depends on what the Pelicans management can do at the trade deadline.

…

Time flies, and a week has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, apart from recording new songs with Swift and playing with Xiao Lin, Lin Ying also enjoyed the various delicacies cooked by Yang Shuyi.

This can also be regarded as a rare period of leisure time after defending the title.

Moreover, in order to further strengthen Xiao Lin Yi's orientation problem, Lin Ying also conducted a "concubine selection" activity for him.

He found several beauties and asked Xiao Lin Yi to choose one to play with.

Of course, Xiao Linyi was young and underdeveloped at this time, so this game must be played seriously.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the 2017 NBA Draft has kicked off at the Barclays Center.

Dean Walken and Lue took the draft team to the draft cabin, while Lin Yingze and Durant once again sat in the VIP box of the arena to watch the show.
