The joyful atmosphere lasted for several days, and Los Angeles finally calmed down and everything was as usual.

Ye Feng was at home with his wife and children, and finally no longer had to practice football. He didn't plan to practice football this holiday, and he had never been so tired. He had to bear the heavy responsibility of scoring and fought until the end. Moreover, he was already top-notch and mastered all the skills of the association, so it was difficult to improve any more, so he could only strive to maintain it.

The team also gained something this season. Two rookies, Harrison Barnes and Perry Jones, played well. Other rookies may have left. The coaching staff like Robert Thackeray's fighting spirit, but his abilities are not outstanding, and staying in the team did not help much. As for Jeremy Lamb, the uniform team wanted to send him out as early as the season, which was absolutely a parallel.

Sinrich and Yi Jianlian also decided to leave the team and have free places to sign rookies.

The new draft lottery ceremony has ended in May. The Washington Wizards draw the No. 1 pick and are very promising next season. The Saramento Kings won the second place, and Tanhua was won by the Minnesota Timberwolves. Ditrue Pistons ranked fifth, and this draft pick is finally the Clippers. The Clippers also have their own first and second round draft picks, and can choose three people. When they want to choose a good player with a low pick, Ye Feng has no confidence. So the uniform team is preparing to send one pick and two as trading chips, and they can sign in the free market.

The Clippers' back line needs to be adjusted. The player who has been confirmed to come is Espanyol Jose Calderon and Gasol brothers have a very good relationship with Calderon, so he can easily convince him to come and join him. He also saw that the Clippers lack a good point guard and thinks that they have room to play when they are in the Clippers. He has a very good passing awareness. Last season, he averaged 10.6 points and 7.7 assists, a shooting percentage of 44.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 43.1%. He played reasonably and did not take up the ball. This is exactly the type that the Clippers need. Because they have to "hugge their thighs". As for the championship, Gasol brothers say that Calderon is not very demanding, and as long as the middle class can handle it.

It was not far from the draft day. Alile was not focused on basketball, and Ye Feng did not force her to take on the job of the team boss, and discussed selecting and dealing with Thibodeau.

The 2013 NBA draft will be held in New York and New Jersey, and is known as the center draft year. There are many outstanding inside players. The latest draft pick prediction is that the first few are inside players. The No. 1 pick is likely to be between Cody Zeller and Norrance Norr. James McCardou, Lex Paisrees, Alex Ryan and others are also among the top.

Thibodeau's plan is to choose an inside player to train, but Ye Feng has different opinions. As long as the Gasol brothers and Love are kept healthy, they will take up a lot of playing time. If you choose a high-level insider, there is not much use, and it will be difficult to make a comeback without playing time. If you want to strengthen the inside player, it is better to use Thackeray and Lamb as bargaining chips to replace someone who is willing to play as a substitute and is suitable for the Clippers' tactical system.

Thibodeau asked, "Since you said that, there must be someone who has chosen it in your heart, right?"

Ye Feng nodded and said, "Greg Monroe of the Knicks, please bring him to the Clippers. He has always been a substitute in the Knicks, and was a high-ranking rookie back then. He has not had much playing time after playing for three years, and he has a height and strength, and he will not steal the right to take action. If Paul (Gasol) teaches him, he may make progress. In addition, his mid-range shot is good, and his ability to withdraw the inside is definitely stronger than Thackeray. After Nash arrived at the Knicks, his data has improved. Thackeray alone may not be able to be exchanged for it. I think Lamb is definitely fine."

The Knicks like players who can shoot. Lamb meets their requirements. As long as he can shoot around Nash, he will not have any worries about no data. Although Thackeray has a 60 pick and his salary is not high, he plays well in the Clippers. His contract with Monroe expires next season. Renewing Thackeray is definitely easier than renewing Monroe, which is also attractive to the Knicks. Although Lamb is 12 pick, even if he sends it out, he will only exchange some cash for it, and the Clippers also admit it. There is no Lamb's place in the team, and keeping it is a waste of space.

Thibodeau agreed to Ye Feng's request and said: "I also have a candidate. After the season is over, he is a completely free agent. He is a double-athlete. If you come, you don't have to play the No. 1 position. You will focus more on offense. Jared Jack of the Warriors, what do you think?"

Ye Feng immediately agreed after hearing this. Jack is a very good substitute and a famous drawer. Last season, the Warriors averaged 11.4 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.7 assists, with a shooting percentage of 47.3%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.2%. When they found the feel, they were an All-Star, and they would throw in as much as they could. When they played against the Clippers, Jack had performed well. He was 30 years old and wanted a championship ring. It would be no problem to attract him, and his salary would not be too high. With Jack and Calderon, the rotation of the No. 1 position was fine, and the offense and organization were not bad. When they went to the Clippers, the only unfortunate thing was Isaiah and Thomas, the "Little Assassin" was difficult to get a chance to play.

After discussing several plans, Thibodeau asked: "Are we still introducing big-name players? If we can't use the Pistons' first-round pick, we can package our picks and trade them out. If we add another player, we should be able to introduce a good second-rate star."

Ye Feng smiled and said, "As long as the lineup is configured reasonably, you can win the championship without too many big brands. If there are too many stars, it is easy to cause conflicts and it is difficult to allocate playing time. Love and Gasol are already stars now. Harrison will also improve after playing for several seasons. After the No. 1 position is strengthened, how can we still need to strengthen other positions? It is simply impeccable!"

Thibodeau thought that the Clippers had a complete lineup and there was no shortage of people in each position, so there was nothing to strengthen. The 2nd and 3rd positions were enough to have Ye Feng, Barnes and Harrison, and Perry Jones didn’t have much chance to play in the team. Even if a star came and Ye Feng was there, how much playing time could he get? Even if he was looking for someone, he had to consider strengthening his defense. The offensive end was already overcrowded. For defense alone, there was no need for big-name players.

Ye Feng thought about it for a while, why would he get Igdala to the Clippers? "Xiaoai" has a very strong defense and good offense, and is a good role player.

The Clippers have not traded with the Lakers yet. Igudala is one of the best swingers in the league in defense. He has a comprehensive offensive skill and is a qualified second-in-command. This season, the Lakers averaged 13.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. The salary is a little higher, about 15 million. It will expire next season. The contract can be terminated early this season, and it is still unknown whether he will jump out of the contract. Last season, Igudala and Ci Shiping were hated by Komi and were almost said to be the waste among wastes. As long as the Clippers are willing to use the high pick and role players to pull them, the Lakers are probably willing to let them go.

If the Lakers want to rebuild now, they also need to turn over big contracts and sign rookies. As long as Igudara comes, the Clippers will be an impeccable superstar lineup. The combination of inside and outside will definitely kill the entire league. There is no suspense in defending the title next season.

Thibodeau called and asked Kupchek, but was rejected. The Lakers were unwilling to trade Igudara with the Clippers, but were willing to give Ci Shiping. Ci Shiping performed well this season, averaging 12.6 points per game, but when he thought of his contract with a salary of tens of millions of yuan, no one dared to take over. If Ci Shiping in Ye Feng's previous life, he could consider it. The person with an annual salary of tens of millions would still let him continue to harm the Lakers.

Igudala has no chance, so the Clippers will not consider other people. The draft picks are ready to trade out, and only one person is left to train them, so that they will not be overcrowded. The trading method is to exchange draft picks for draft picks, and move to 2015. The Clippers are not short of people at the moment.

After making the plan, Ye Feng immediately communicated with Jack and Calderon in his personal name. The two agreed to join the Clippers happily. Thibodeau contacted the New York Knicks. The two teams would trade on the draft day. The Clippers sent Lamb, Thackeray, Monroe for the Knicks and some cash.

The Clippers' own first and second round draft picks are ready to send them out before the draft begins. There are many teams that want to rebuild, such as the Bobcats, Wizards, Pistons, etc. It is worth mentioning that the Bobcats are too alternative under the leadership of Jordan. They have been rebuilding and have not been built...

If all three rookies are signed, the Clippers will have 16 players, and only 14 players in the new season is enough. If you gather 15, you will feel that there are many players. Most of the players are strong, and even if the rookies come, they will not be able to play.

The managers of each team also know that the Clippers are not short of people, but there are several draft picks, and they can get rookies at a very small price. If the Clippers don’t need to find people, many teams will come to seek trades.

After some selection, the Clippers and the Suns reached an agreement to trade the first round draft picks protected by the Suns in 2015 with two draft picks. The Suns are rebuilding, with sufficient salary space and are ready to grab players in the free market and choose a few more rookies. The strength will improve, but it is difficult to enter the playoffs. Two low picks are used to exchange for the first round of 2015, and there is a high probability that the Clippers will be lottery-loss.

In this way, the only pick in the Clippers is left with the Pistons' fifth pick.

Thibodeau and Ye Feng decided to choose UCL's outside swinger Shabaz. Mohamed, 202cm tall and weighs 102kg, can play as a small forward and a shooting guard. He is likely to be selected in the top five and has a high trading value. Shabaz may be the most brilliant of all, and the rookie who is most prepared for the NBA. He has the NBA level physical condition and can play NBA level games. He is a productive scorer, and he has strong offensive ability to hold the ball, and his style is like Washington's defender Brad Bill.

Anyway, Shabaz would be a pretty secure choice. He may not have the potential to be a privileged player, but if paired with a suitable star, he would perform well. (To be continued)
