In the last few days of the free market, the Lakers made the final reinforcement, expanding the roster to 15 players.

The list is as follows:

Point Guards: Brandon Knight, Jamal Crawford, Isaiah Thomas

Scorebacks: Sun Hao, Jimmy Butler, Reggie Williams

Little Former: Carter, Sean Bathir, Ryan Gomez

Big Former: Paul Millsap, Reggie Evans, Davis Bertans

Center: Roy Hibert, Jason Smith, Troy Murphy

The Lakers still know Sun Hao well. Although the players who have strengthened their strength are not very strong, they all have their own characteristics.

Especially for Murphy and Williams, they are used to attract space on the court.

Even Jason Smith, who won the biennial exception, is also somewhat similar to Ibaka's style of play, and can pass the ball, pick and roll, and have accurate mid-range distances.

Kupchek's business ability is still up to standard.

However, because there are indeed not many free agents this year, the advantages and disadvantages of these people signed are quite obvious.

It is estimated that it will only be known after the season is in-depth.

Of course, besides the players, another candidate worthy of attention is the head coach.

Although it only took a short month from the end of the suspension to the beginning of the season, the time was very compact.

But after Sun Hao confirmed to return to Los Angeles, the Lakers' coach selection work has already been put on the table.

With Sun Hao's return, the Lakers' focus on choosing coaches is naturally Sun Hao.

Then it was very interesting. At this time, the fans discovered that although Sun Hao had changed teams several times for this or that, there were only two head coaches who had coached him in the NBA: Phil Jackson and Nelson Old.

Now that old Nelson is coaching with the Warriors, it is naturally impossible for the Lakers to come.

The rest of Phil Jackson seems to be the best choice.

Although he and Sun Hao had some misunderstandings about O'Neal's incident before, it has been so long after all.

Moreover, Sun Hao can basically get started without adapting to the triangular system.

In the shutdown/shrink season where everything is shortened, there is no better option than this.

The Lakers thought so too, they contacted Phil Jackson early and then persuaded the latter to return.

Phil Jackson is also very interested in this.

His departure was because the Lakers couldn't get up, so he felt that he was helpless in coaching.

Now that Sun Hao is back, it is naturally different with the foundation.

Not to mention the relationship between him and Jenny Bass.

The last time he missed the opportunity to enter management.

But this time, as long as he leads the Lakers to the championship again and with the help of Jenny Buss, everything will be a natural thing.

But the only problem now is the will left by Old Bass.

If the will says that Jenny inherited the Lakers, then Phil Jackson will definitely be on the board.

But if Jim Bath is written in the will, it would be hard to say.

After all, today is different from the past. Jenny and Jim have been in the same position in the past two years. Once Jenny loses power, Phil Jackson, as his boyfriend, will naturally not have a good life in the Lakers.

So that will played a decisive role.

Based on this, the Lakers also went to find a spare tire in addition to Phil Jackson.

This spare tire is naturally very related to Sun Hao.

"Silver Fox" Harris.

There are only two NBA head coaches who have coached Sun Hao, but there is a third person who has coached Sun Hao.

This person is Harris.

Harris is not only Sun Hao's head coach in the national team, but he has stepped down after his coaching in 2008.

And when Sun Hao first entered the league, he coached him in the summer league.

So from a relationship alone, he is not at all lost to Phil Jackson.

Of course, in terms of ability, Harris's resume in the NBA is quite average, so he naturally cannot be compared with Phil Jackson.

So he can only be regarded as a "spare tire".

As for whether the "real brand" will take over in the end or the "spare tire" will take the lead, it is likely to depend on how Old Bass wrote his will.

Everything needs to be waited.

Let’s talk about the season.

There is no time to open training camps and training for each team during the shrinking season, so the training camps of each team basically start at the same time as the free market is opened.

Sun Hao also joined the team training camp after attending the press conference.

This is also the biggest impact of the suspension season, which is that everything seems particularly compact.

Even media like ESPN are very compact.

Before the free market was completely over, ESPN made this year's list of power.

In this list, the Knicks are the top.

The comments given by ESPN are similar to those of previous analysis. In addition to their own running-in and lineup strengthening, they are more because their biggest opponent, the Warriors, have become weaker.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, Knicks is possessed by Sima Yi. It is not a skill for you to fight, but it is a skill for you to live long.

The Warriors followed closely behind.

The lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Sun Hao is gone, Durant is still there, and the five dead little boys are still there.

With these, the Warriors still have a great chance of completing the dynasty.

Another thing worth paying attention to is Curry.

Everyone can see that Curry has a very talent for projection. Sun Hao used to "press" him, but now this cloud has been removed. What level can he play at is also a topic that fans are very concerned about.

And this can also be said to be the key to determining whether the Warriors can complete the title defense.

The rankings of the top two also show that in ESPN's eyes, the new season is still the pattern of Niyong's competition.

The rankings from three to six are the Clippers, Grizzlies, Bulls and Mavericks.

The Lakers ranked seventh in this list.

ESPN comments: Sun Hao's joining is undoubtedly the biggest reinforcement for the Lakers, but the only reinforcement for the Lakers is Sun Hao. Carter is no longer as brave as he used to be. Crawford, Bathier and others are not the kind of players who can cause qualitative changes to the team. The Lakers will become a stable playoff team, but it is obviously not enough to compete for the championship.

The comment given by ESPN is quite objective.

Moreover, this lengthy paragraph can also be reduced to: Sun Hao has increased the lower limit of the Lakers, but the upper limit of the Lakers is not enough.

However, this seventh lower limit reflects Sun Hao's personal ability.

Of course, the meaning of ranking is to give fans saliva.

Some people think it is high, and some people will naturally think it is low, so that it can be discussed.

Moreover, the time is tight this time, and the fans' doors for the new season will be opened soon.

It was not until this time that Old Bass's will was made public.

After the will was announced, it caused a stir.

Because this will is not a "determined fact", but a "conditional assumption".

Bass, the old man wrote in his will that if Sun Hao did not return to the Lakers, the Lakers would be inherited by Jenny Bass.

Once Sun Hao chooses to return to the Lakers, the person who inherits the team will be Jim Buss.

So it is completely understandable at this time why Old Bass asked that the will must be opened before the season begins.

Because only then can we determine whether Sun Hao has really returned.

Sun Hao was also shocked when he saw this.

Because it means that he decided the Lakers' successor!

Although recalling the original conversation between him and Bass, this seems reasonable.

Because only in this way can we not only satisfy Old Bass' own wishes, but also minimize the Lakers' unstable factors.

Even if Sun Hao comes back, Jim Bus, who got the team because of Sun Hao, will be better for Sun Hao than before because of gratitude.

I can only say that this is probably the "old fox" level, and it is the real arrangement of the funeral after death.

Jenny Bass was disappointed when he saw this result.

After all, after the death of Old Bass, she was the one who was hosting and maintaining the team's operation.

In the end, he was in vain.
