Xinji nodded slightly, agreeing with Su Yang's statement.
As early as before the All-Star Weekend, the Clippers showed their potential to achieve results in the playoffs because of their outstanding performance in the regular season and won many difficult games. The management led by Hinkie quickly launched a transaction.
Camby was sent first, in exchange for Blake and Outlaw, and Brian Skinner was waived.
Then he sent El Thornton in exchange for Drew Gooden and a Wizards first-round pick.
But at that time, Hinkie and others did not expect the Clippers to win the championship in one fell swoop. The basic goal was to show their potential, so that they could attract big-name players such as LeBron James on the super-large free market in the summer for reinforcement.
Therefore, in order to maintain the flexibility of the salary space bar, Blake, Outlaw, and Gooden are all about to become free agents. In addition, at the beginning of the season, with the goal of rebuilding, Steve Novak's contract did not renew in advance. .
Wesley Matthews, PJ Tucker, and Matt Barnes also signed with a one-year veteran with a minimum salary, but the three performed very well in the regular season and even in the playoffs, and they want to stay after the free market opens , it will be very difficult.
Aside from these undetermined players, the Clippers have Davis, Gordon, Su Yang, and Raschel Butler in the backcourt rotation, which are enough to form the starters and substitutes, but the frontcourt strikers are only Randolph and Jr. Jordan.
In this way, in the draft, selecting a few forward players is a necessary task.
"We have a 30th pick ourselves..."
Hinkie said: "If there are no good candidates in the first round, you can trade down and choose one or two forward players, such as your college teammate Landry Fields, which is our potential target."
Su Yang responded with a smile. He couldn't help guessing that Xinji had already made several plans. Today, he asked himself to give his opinions and watch the trial training. It was nothing more than matching from the plans he had already made. It was a trust and a way to save face.
"What about LeBron? How about we recruit LeBron?" Van Gundy suddenly proposed. "We should have enough salary space. I heard that the probability of him renewing his contract with the Cavaliers is very small. We can try it. At that time, LeBron will control the ball, Su Yang and Eric will play off the ball. There is no one in the league. A team that can defend against that horrible offense..."
"Of course there is salary space." Hinkie laughed: "But LeBron doesn't seem to be the kind of player who is willing to be the second option. We are more willing to consider Chris Bosh, or leave space for more middle-class players and guarantee the bench strength…"
"It's true, I guess there are very few big-name players in the league who are willing to play supporting roles for you." Van Gundy looked at Su Yang, "You are so good, even if you play off-ball offense, you will take away a lot of their aura. The players don't care about that, the teams behind them, and the brands they work with, and they don't want them to play supporting roles for you..."
"It's not that exaggerated..." Su Yang said: "However, the big-name players in the free market this year will definitely not give priority to us. After all, we have just won the championship, and the pressure to join will be great. Middle-class players are more suitable."
In Su Yang's view, the Clippers currently have a fixed lineup, he + Randolph + Gordon + Davis, which can be regarded as the primary version of the four-star lineup. Inside and outside, very reasonable.
If Davis's decline is considered, or to make up for shortcomings, it is also possible to recruit a striker.
But if it is a super big name like LeBron, the team's style of play will be greatly changed, and at the same time, the matchup of the bench lineup will not be so reasonable. In comparison, it seems that it will not make much money unless there is a strong opponent.
The three walked and chatted, and soon came downstairs to the court, and saw Paul George warming up from a distance.
All kinds of training equipment are ready, and the staff is busy setting up the camera.There were a hundred or so fans who had reserved the Clippers season tickets for next season. When they saw Su Yang appear, they immediately cheered and applauded, as if they were welcoming a rock star.
Su Yang waved his hand and simply ran to sit among the fans and watched George's trial training together.
Not long after sitting down, PJ Tucker and several people also ran over to join in the fun, almost becoming a full-time spectator.
The atmosphere of the stadium suddenly became solemn. George finished warming up and ran to the audience to say hello.
"Hey, Sue, do you remember me?" George smiled shyly.
"Back then, I went to Mu Qiao High School to challenge you one-on-one because Kobe praised you. I didn't expect that we would meet here again today. This is a magical arrangement of fate."
Su Yang got up and gave him a high-five, and said with a smile: "How about we have another one-on-one match later?"
The voice fell, and the audience booed and echoed.
George hesitated a little, and then said: "Okay, I will go all out, even if the chance of winning is very small."
"Then I'll wait for you!" Su Yang nodded, George turned around and ran back to the court, and the trial training officially started.
Tucker raised his legs and said, "I can handle it, you don't need to make a move, watch him?"
"He is an excellent player. Of course he also likes to talk nonsense. I am willing to treat it separately." Su Yang recalled that Paul George had said many stupid things, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly. Those words were really funny.
As soon as the words fell, George hit the first corner three-pointer, and the shot seemed to be quite fast.Immediately afterwards, George hit three-pointers one after another, all in two-stage movements, vaguely a little like McGrady's smoothness, quite handsome.
The fans at the scene gradually cheered, and when George finished all his votes, they cheered and shouted.The result of the entire three-point shooting trial was 25 of 21 shots, and the shooting rate in the high area was as high as 100%, which fully met the evaluation given in the scout report.
George took a short rest and conducted another mid-range shooting test, taking 25 shots from the same five positions.
Compared with the three-pointer, George's mid-range shot seems to be more accurate, and the audience cheered.
After finishing the mid-range shot, it is followed by a catch-and-shoot around the screen, and an emergency stop to catch and shoot while running.
Arranging the content of the trial training in this way is to position George as a pure 3D player. He does not need him to create offense with the ball too much. After all, the Clippers have many people who can create offense with the ball. They only need to run tactically to catch the ball and shoot. .
In a blink of an eye, all shooting trials are over.
George's performance satisfied the audience very much, and the coaching staff headed by Van Gundy did not pick out any major problems.
Only the shooting trainer pointed out that George's shot point is slightly lower. The reason may be to pursue faster speed, and this method is difficult to expose weaknesses without confrontation, and it is easy to be blocked when encountering confrontation.
The dribbling trial was also completed quickly. George's hands are small, and some complex movements require more force from his fingers, which in turn pulls the arm muscles, making those movements look awkward, like a novice at the beginning stage.
But overall, it is in line with the evaluation of the scouting report, and it is also in line with the positioning in the middle of the first round.
Su Yang got up and entered the arena, smiled and said to George: "Come on, let me see what progress you have made in four years."
