Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Ok is the son, West plays chess, and Mo Ran’s final conclusion!
Grizzlies general manager Stu Jackson received a call from the Lakers with a bewildered look on his face.
"Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Shaquille O'Neal? If you guys can really work on Shaq, I'll give you not only Mo Ran, but two more first rounds! 99
Hanging up the phone with the Lakers, Stu Jackson still sneered.
In his opinion, the Lakers management call is a no-brainer.
"You know what, just after the Lakers front office told me they were going to trade Shaq for Mo Ran. 99
Not only sneering, Stu Jackson also dissed a wave of Lakers management: "Why trade for Mo Ran if they can take Sand?"93
No doubt, in Stu Jackson's view.
This shark is much stronger than the celestial giant in George Town.
Not only that, Mo Ran is just a top pick who has not proven himself in the NBA.
And Shaquille O'Neal has proven in the NBA that his upper limit is straight to the finals!
In fact, similar issues have also been discussed fiercely by the Lakers' management.
Some Lakers executives feel that if they can take the Sharks outright, why do they need to trade for Mo Ran?
"Because Mo Ran is more worthy of training than Shaq."
Jerry West made a direct statement in the high-level meeting: "Mo Ji was 19 years old, when Shaq was so big, he couldn't even lead the team to the NCAA semifinals in LSU."
Just like the logo says.
O'Neal, at Louisiana State University, was already well known.
But in three years of college, the Sharks have not even once led their team to the semi-finals of the NCAA tournament.
Look at Mo Ran again.
In the first year of his freshman year, he led Georgetown to the finals, and after 12 years, he helped Georgetown win the NCAA Championship trophy.
On the dominance of the college league, Mo Ran is definitely better than the Sharks.
more importantly.
Mo Ran's performance is not to deal with a bunch of weak recruits.
Jerry West moved out of the Georgetown vs Vermont game.
He didn't even bother to move out of the scene where Mo Ran abused Camby, because the unilateral massacre had no reference value.
"Tim Duncan is definitely an all-time rookie, and Mo Ran doesn't lose out against Tim.
The LOGO defied the crowd: "If I had to choose between rookie Shaq and rookie Mo, I'd choose Mo Ran.
"If I had to choose between 24-year-old Sha and 19-year-old Mo Ran, I would still choose Mo Ran. 9)
"Because, when Mo turns 24, he's going to be more dominant than Shaq is now!
Jerry West's well-founded, convincing, and resolute statements make Mo Ran the only man the Lakers have to take.
So, now that the sharks have been degraded by the Magic, the Lakers management is decisive.
"Are you sure?"
When the Magic management received the call from the Lakers, they were also confused.
They didn't want to renew the contract with the Sharks, but it was a pity to let them go in vain.
If you let go of the shark at the same time, you can also exchange for a certain amount of chips.
Let the team build around Penny Hardaway next season, and the strength will not decline too fast.
Why not be happy?
U.S. time on July 8, after Jerry West's all-night phone operation.
The NBA official, passed a deal that shook the basketball circle!
The trading team involved three teams.
Among them: Orlando Magic, Vancouver Grizzlies and Los Angeles Lakers!
In this deal, the Orlando Magic first reached a contract with O'Neal.
After all, if you renew the contract with the mother, you can keep the bird rights and get a higher salary package.
O'Neal got a 7-year, 120 million bird rights extension contract, and then was traded to the Vancouver Grizzlies.
Stu Jackson was a black question mark until the day when the deal hit the bricks.
People sit in their arms, sharks come from the sky?
Although the Grizzlies also got a shark, plus the Lakers as a complement to Tyrese Knight.
There are some deviations from the Lakers' previous double All-Star team of Fan Lunzi + Eddie Jones.
But this is Shaquille O'Neal!
Big Four Centers!
The Grizzlies resolutely followed the agreement and hooked Mo Ran, and also posted the team's 1997 first-round pick + 1999 first-round pick.
Although Stuart Johnson feels that the Lakers management is out of his mind.
But there are two first-round picks that should be available, and he is definitely not missing.
Meanwhile, the Magic hooked O'Neal and acquired All-Star center Divac from the Lakers.
The All-Star center who was supposed to be traded for Kobe Bryant was sent to Orlando to team up with Penny Hardaway.
In addition to signing and then trading away the Sharks, the Magic also sent Kenny Smith + Brian Shaw to the Lakers.
Although Kenny Smith won a championship with the Houston Rockets, he is now close to retirement.
Pure billing.
Brian Shaw still has some oil in his fuel tank, but LOGO is more interested in Shaw's tactical understanding ability.
Prepare for the team's future bishop.
In fact, after Brian Shaw retired, he actually worked as an assistant coach for the Lakers for a while.
Even in the future as an NBA team coach for a while.
Although his coaching ability is average, his tactical understanding ability is still very good.
As for the Lakers, they sent Divac + Tyrese Knight.
Won the Grizzlies' '97 and '99 first-round picks, Kenny Smith + Brian Shaw, and the 1996 No. 1 overall pick – Mo Ran!
"The ultimate reversal, Mo Ran actually ended up in Los Angeles,~!
After the NBA officially approved this transaction, the American media was in a frenzy.
Although they felt that Mo Ran, the first champion in Chinese history, went to a city like Vancouver, it was a pity.
But the Grizzlies are the owners of the No. 1 pick, so what can you do?
As a result, the Los Angeles Lakers came out of nowhere and traded Mo Ran into the team in a way that almost broke people's perception!
"Is Jerry West telling us that in his eyes, Mo Ran is even better than Shaquille O'Neal?"
ESPN's basketball experts are indeed a little bit clueless about the LOGO's mind: "They actually don't want the top center in history, and trade it for Xiao rookie Mo?"
"Yeah, if I had to choose, I would choose Shaq anyway!"
"There's no way anyone would leave sharks alone, choose Mo Ran?
"I've always respected Jerry West, but I can only give him three points for this deal.
And it's a percentile!
In the eyes of ESPN's special image, even if the person who has done enough for this deal is called Jerry West.
This is also a cerebral palsy operation!
The American media could not understand it, and even began to question the operation of the LOGO.
NBA commissioner David Stern was delighted.
I once watched the Lakers let go of the sharks, but chose a rookie.
This rookie is the first person in Chinese history.
Stern is worrying about how to expand the market influence of the Vancouver Grizzlies.
it's good now.
Don't think about it.
The celestial beast descended into the city of angels.
Stern even helped the American media think about the headlines.
"Jerry is such a genius, Adam, to add the Lakers' name to next season's Christmas fight. 22
Now that Mo's destination has been settled, Stern signaled to his assistant to change the schedule for the new season: "Let them touch the Chicago Bulls on Christmas.
Mile Jordan vs Mo Ran.
And it's still a Christmas fight.
This ratings.
Don't miss out!
"."Mo, I didn't expect you to actually go to Los Angeles! 99
At the same time as the deal was concluded, Iverson, who was far away in Boston, called Mo Ran: "Aren't we dead enemies now?"19
Georgetown twins, one with the Los Angeles Lakers and one with the Boston Celtics.
The former Moai formed the pavilion, and now has become the protagonist of the Yellow-Green War?
"Fate is so funny sometimes.
Mo Ran was also a little emotional.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, Kobe did not go to the Lakers, but he went to the Lakers first.
Now, O'Neal must be impossible to come to Los Angeles.
The 0 between the OK groups is no trace.
Is there any hope for this K to come to Los Angeles?
The MK team sounds pretty good too.
However, the Lakers trade Kobe Divac has sent the Magic.
If you want to trade to get Kobe, it should be untrue.
Of course, there was no way Mo Ran could have thought of that.
The remaining K in the OK group still entered the eyes of Jerry West.
Only, this Tianji high school student from Pennsylvania.
Not being traded by LOGO to join the team.
But to be Jerry West, as one of the chips in the multi-party trade.
Acquiring Mo Ran is just the first step in the Lakers' recovery plan.
A Mo Ran, obviously not enough to achieve dynasty hegemony.
Fan Lunzi and Eddie Jones are also not the ones who help Mo Ran reach the top (Zhao Xiaohao).
West has a backer.
And his back-up will involve four teams and many potential players.
"General Manager, are we really going to make this call?
The Lakers management staff hesitated: "We have not had player trade negotiations with them for many years."
"If you don't want to, I'll make the call myself."
After getting the other two parties, West walked over directly, took the phone in the other party's hand, and dialed the number.
"Hello? Are you,
America.
Boston.
North Shore Gardens Arena.
After learning that Mo Ran has been traded to the Lakers, Auerbach is preparing to activate the second plan:
Use Iverson in exchange for more potential stocks, or draft rights, and continue the 96-97 season's bad plan.
Without Mo Ran, the Celtics are going for a last-ditch effort to Tim Duncan!
At a time when the Cardinals quickly developed + implemented a Plan B and were ready to call Charlotte.
This call from Los Angeles got Auerbach interested:
"Jerry? Are you sure? You want to talk to me about Allen?"
