Chapter 119 Breaking news!Howard returns to Los Angeles!
Of course, Lin Tian only thinks about this kind of thing temporarily.
After replying to the other party that there was no problem, Lin Tian prepared to turn off the phone.
But his twitter suddenly came to show that James followed him.
For young players in this era, being able to be followed by James is considered a lucky thing.
The number of fans of James is tens of millions.
It is said that the commercial value of his tweet is hundreds of thousands of dollars...
Lin Tian immediately became fans of James, then turned off his phone and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Kupchak called and told Lin Tian that they had traded Howard.
This startled Lin Tian.
Kupchak told Lin Tian the details of the transaction.
It turns out that the Lakers traded Hibbert, Lu Wei and the 2017 first-round pick in exchange for Howard.
Lin Tian did not expect that the Lakers would pay such a high price in order to get Howard.
Needless to say, Hibbert, his performance this season has topped 600 million a year.
The value of Lu Wei is higher than that of Hibbert. He only played for the Lakers for half a season before packing up and leaving.
But thinking about it carefully, Lin Tian also felt relieved.
Although Lu Wei's offensive ability is strong, the Lakers signed him this season just to show off.
Now that the team is no longer bad, it is okay to send him away.
And after he arrives at the Rockets, he will start as Harden's substitute.
The combined salaries of Hibbert and Lu Wei this season coincide with Howard's, more than 2200 million.
After the call with Kupchak was over, he got a call from Howard from Kupchak, and Lin Tian took out his mobile phone to check the news.
Two minutes later, Wojnarowski, commonly known as Wojna, tweeted out the big news
For a while, other news media also reprinted it one after another, with various headlines flying all over the sky:
[The Lakers and the Rockets completed a blockbuster deal!Howard leaves Houston! 】
[After more than two years, Howard returned to the Lakers! 】
[The biggest deal on the trading deadline!Howard and Lu Wei swap clubs! 】
[There was a conflict with the core of the team, and Lu Wei was traded tragically! 】
Lin Tian clicked on the news about the conflict between Lu Wei and the core of the team, and found that the author of the news criticized him verbally, saying that he forced the Lakers management to force Lu Wei away. One of the most important evidences was the scene of him arguing with Lu Wei when he was playing the Bucks that day.
He shook his head dumbfounded, what else could he say for this?
Anyway, the pen is in the hands of these reporters, and they have no control over what they want to write.
But it is undeniable that Lin Tian also hopes that the management will send Wei Wei, the best sixth man of last season, they don't need it!
Regarding the news that the Lakers traded for Howard, there are also many comments below:
"Fuck! What's going on? Such a big news broke out early in the morning? Howard is back to the Lakers?"
"Is the head of the Lakers management squeezed by the door? It's not suitable at all, why do you need Howard?"
"It seems that the Lakers don't plan to play badly this season! But the season is over halfway, is it possible that they still want to break into the playoffs?"
"Howard and Kobe are not suitable! Could it be very suitable with Lin?"
"Bass, get out of here!"
"The Lakers lost money to grandma's house! Only they are willing to make such a mentally retarded trade!"
"Can I give the Lakers a D- for this deal?"
……
Lakers fans are almost all in the comment area.
Because such a deal, in their view, would do no harm to the Lakers!They couldn't figure out what the purpose of the Lakers was.
Seeing the overwhelming abuse, Lin Tian also panicked.
But in this regard, it is the management who are responsible for the blame, otherwise, he might be sprayed out.
He also doesn't know if the Lakers can make the playoffs after Howard comes to the Lakers.
But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Howard's ability to protect the frame is not a bit better than Hibbert.
After hesitating for a while, Lin Tian decided to call Howard.
The phone was dialed, and Howard's voice came from the phone: "Hello? Who is it?"
"Dwight, hello, I'm Lin Tian from the Lakers."
"Oh! Lin! It's you! Great! I was thinking of chatting with you!" Howard's voice was a little excited.
It can be heard that he is very happy to be traded to the Lakers by the Rockets.
"Listen, Dwight, welcome to the big family of the Lakers. I, Kobe and all the teammates of the Lakers are looking forward to your arrival."
"Yeah? This is awesome? You know what? Man, I can't wait to fly to LA right now! But I still have to pack my bags."
"Haha, don't worry, we are waiting for you."
"Okay! Lin! I can't wait to play with you guys! You flying monster! Hahahaha!"
……
As Lin Tian knows, Howard and Nick Young are comparable, and they are both chatterboxes.
If Lin Tian hadn't said that he was going to get up for training, Howard would probably still be able to continue talking on the phone with him.
After hanging up the phone, get up and wash, and then have breakfast...
After Lin Tian came to the team training hall, Kobe was there, but only Kobe was there.
Bryant obviously also knew Howard was coming, and after Kupchak might even complete the deal, the first call was to Bryant.
"Lin! I hope this deal will give us something to gain." Bryant said, he knew Howard's character very well, and was worried about repeating the same mistakes.
"Don't worry Kobe, we finally have a reliable rim protector now!"
In the following time, other Lakers players came to the training hall one after another.
They also knew about Howard's upcoming arrival, but it wasn't Kupchak who informed them, but they only found out after watching the news.
Almost all the team members are discussing this matter.
However, Lu Wei and Hibbert did not show up in the team training hall due to illness.
If there is no accident, the two are estimated to have gone to the Staples Center to pack their luggage by now.
Regarding this kind of thing, several young players of the Lakers are obviously still in a trance and haven't adapted much.
After all, we have played together for more than half a season.
Little Nance said: "Although Roy always asked me to run errands for him, but now that he is gone, I am very reluctant. He taught me a lot."
Nick Young smiled and put his hands on his shoulders: "Man! Don't be so sad, the NBA is a business alliance, get used to it."
Little Nance asked back: "Yang, what if you are also traded away?"
"Then let's tear down Jim Bass's office! Guys, you'll help me, won't you?"
