In order to save his reputation and position, Kupchak had to reluctantly give up Bynum, the future top star in his mind.

The Grizzlies are also very satisfied with this deal.

Although they lost the present (Gasol), they gained the future (Bynum and a first-round draft pick).

Thus, the second transaction was born.

"Wortfalk!"

Lin Hao felt numb all over.

No one in the world knows better than him how well Kobe and Gasol are matched!

Although Gasol has not won a decent honor so far (only one Best Rookie and Best Rookie First Team), he is a perfect match with Kobe in terms of technical characteristics and tactical role.

Kobe held the ball and attacked first, Gasol assisted in the secondary attack, and Phil Jackson's triangle offense was added.

Now, the Lakers are all alive!

And don’t forget, there is also James Posey, a small forward with strong defense.

Death God Parker, Kobe, Posey, Odom, Gasol...

As long as Fisher is traded, the Lakers will take off immediately!

Of course, even if the No. 1 position is not strengthened, the Lakers' lineup is still quite good.

In fact, not only Lin Hao, but the entire league was shocked by these two transactions and was unable to recover for a long time.

"Kobe and Gasol together would be deadly, and we have to find a way to deal with it."

"Otherwise, we will be in great trouble if we meet them in the finals."

Inside the Spurs' practice facility, Popovich flushed and waved his arms at a group of reporters.

"Reinforce me! Reinforce me now!"

In Dallas, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was furious.

"The Lakers really made a big move this time. They used the smallest price to get the biggest return. These two trades are enough to change the landscape of the league."

"It becomes much more difficult for other teams to win the championship."

A basketball commentator said excitedly.

Of course, the happiest people are the Lakers fans.

"Lakers are the champions! We have secured the title this season, let the other teams tremble!"

A Lakers fan left an excited message.

……

James Dolan attaches great importance to these two transactions of the Lakers.

He called Lin Hao, Isiah Thomas, and Larry Brown to his office for a secret meeting.

"Brother, do you think our team needs reinforcements?"

James Dolan asked Lin Hao.

After all, there are too many strong teams this season.

In addition to the traditional powerhouses Spurs and Pistons, there are also the further strengthened Heat, the five-star battleship Cavaliers, and the Lakers who have the strength to take a big step forward.

It's simply a war of gods!

The Knicks' shabby lineup is really not good enough.

Except for Hinrich who is barely passable, the others are all uglier.

Lin Hao thought for a moment and said slowly:

"I think our team's current lineup is strong enough and does not need any reinforcements!"

Upon hearing this, James Dolan slammed the table:

"Great! Our King of New York is confident and domineering enough!"

Of course Lin Hao is confident.

Faced with the Lakers' two trades, he was shocked at first and just felt it was strange.

But he was by no means afraid.

If he meets the Lakers in the finals, he has enough confidence to beat them.

"Of course, you can try to trade Ron (Artest), but the premise must be that the starting lineup remains unchanged."

Lin Hao added.

The reason he proposed to trade Artest was just to fulfill his original promise.

Although a bit perfunctory.

Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Artest is an All-Star player after all. The starting lineup remains unchanged, and you still want to trade him?

If you don't want me, just say so!

……

Time unknowingly arrived in mid-March.

A lot of major events happened during this period.

Since Gasol joined the team, the Lakers have won six consecutive games.
