NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

After Kobe nodded, he also said.

"Then we're sure the Lakers' roster doesn't need to change."

"Then don't we need any trades during the offseason?"

The second sentence was for Chen Tian.

Chen Tian also nodded.

"The team is under contract right now."

"Anthony, Matthew, Yi Jianlian, JR, Brewer, Harrell, Tucker."

"We must renew Jokic's contract."

This also got everyone's nod.

"After that, it's mine, so just implement the team option."

"This way the team can save some money."

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Who doesn't know that this team saves money, and it also saves your family's money.

Even after Chen Tian finished speaking, he was happy.

"And then a few contracts expired."

"Metta Shiping is ready to retire."

"As for McGee, I think it's still possible to stay."

Everyone thought about it and nodded.

I think it is still very useful for McGee to stay.

During the time he played in the playoffs, he completed the job given to him by the coach very well.

"As for Green and Curry, we don't need to renew the contracts of these two people."

Hearing Chen Tian's words, some people were surprised.

Johnson also said.

"Little Curry won't renew his contract?"

"He still plays very well, and his three-pointers are also good. Wouldn't it be a pity not to renew his contract?"

But Monty on the side said.

"It's not necessary. Curry's defense can't improve, and the playoffs can only be a burden for the Lakers."

As soon as these words came out, Kobe, Chen Tian and the others all nodded.

Johnson thought about it and nodded.

"Well, that's right. If you can't play in the playoffs, it's really useless."

At this time, Chen Tian looked at the list in his hand and said the same thing.

"The current members of the team have already been determined."

"There's Matthew and JR on guard."

"On the forward line, me, Anthony, Tucker, and Brewer."

"There are Jokic, Yi Jianlian, McGee and Harrell on the inside."

"It's already a list of ten people."

"But our back line is still too small."

As soon as the words came out, Johnson also said.

"Then let's talk about what defenders to strengthen."

Immediately, everyone was brainstorming.

Many players have been brought up.

Many of them are people whose contracts expired this offseason.

But those who proposed were all eliminated in the end.

For a while, it became a difficult problem for the defender to reinforce who.

Chen Tian was also thinking.

Looking at the free market list in his hand, he also shook his head.

It can be said that in this offseason, there are only a lot of big fish in the market.

But not many guards meet the Lakers' standards.

The most suitable ones are Rondo and Dinwiddie.

But Chen Tian knew that no matter which of these two came, it would not be a good thing for the Lakers.

Dinwiddie is okay to say, but this guy's three-pointers are really not working.

At this time, Rondo basically would not choose a substitute player.

Then he will be in great conflict with the Lakers' tactical arrangements for next season.

Because the core of the Lakers' starting organization and tactics next season will be Jokic.

So letting Rondo come, more is to break Jokic's ability.

This is not what Chen Tian wants to see.

At this time, Kobe's words woke Chen Tian up.

"Why don't we look at the draft?"

"With the current lineup of the Lakers, if a dark horse can be found, it will only take two seasons to cultivate it."

Hearing this, Chen Tian was enlightened.

Chen Tian immediately picked up the rookie player's information.

Chen Tian remembered that in this year's draft, although there was a parallel import champion.

But this year, a dark horse fell to the second round.

Take the Lakers' 30th pick in the first round of the draft.

It can only be to find a dark horse.

The scouts and others from one side of the team also started talking.

After searching for a while, Chen Tian finally found the name of this person.

Immediately, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Tian's mouth.

Sure enough, this guy is in this year's draft list.

What Chen Tian was looking at was none other than Malcolm Brogdon, the biggest dark horse in this draft.

This guy is definitely the biggest testament of this class.

Chen Tian still remembered his previous life, this guy was selected to the Bucks in the second round of the draft.

But that season, Ben Simmons was reimbursed for the season.

Ingram didn't hit it.

The last season's rookie of the year was cut off by this second-round pick.

This guy is a talent.

He is a complete combo guard who can score as well as handle the ball.

In his three-year career with the Bucks, he has improved every year.

In the third year, he averaged 15.6 points per game.

Many people are even saying that if the Bucks hadn't let go of Brogdon at that time.

Maybe Antetokounmpo will win the championship a year earlier.

Immediately having a goal, Chen Tian also said immediately.

"What do you think of Brogdon?"

Chen Tian's words made everyone who was discussing stop.

At this time, the scout named Paul also said.

"Brogdon is exactly the player I'm watching."

"The growth space for this player is very limited."

"But his defense is very good, and his basic skills are very good."

"But during college, his growth was very slow. It can also be said that he has done everything solidly."

"Overall, he is a qualified substitute player, but he cannot become the core player of the team."

Chen Tian also nodded when he heard what Paul said.

Basically, there is nothing wrong with it.

Even Brogdon in his previous life was no different from what Paul said.

After this guy arrived in the Pacers, the results of the team with him as the core were not very good.

The most suitable position for this kind of person is the second or third leader.

But isn't that exactly what the Lakers are looking for?

Chen Tian looked at Brogdon's report and said.

"That's not just right, this guy is what we need right now."

"Judging from the current situation, this guy will not be too high in the draft."

"Basically, it's just a second-round pick, so we'll use the last pick in the first round to get him."

Johnson heard Chen Tian's words and looked at Kobe on the side.

Kobe also nodded.

Hearing what Chen Tian and Paul said, he thought he could give it a try.

Johnson looked at everyone and nodded.

Johnson also said.

"That's good, he's settled."
