Chapter 239 New Season
David West was in his prime and was an All-Star player.

Chandler, needless to say, is the future best defensive player. "Chris, where do you want to go?"

"Of course it's the Eagle, but the Eagle doesn't seem to need me very much..."

Atlanta is closer to Paul's hometown, so Paul wants to go to Atlanta more.

In the original history, the Hawks also chose Marvin Williams, a swing forward at the three or four positions.

"Your draft pick shouldn't be too low. Jazz, Grizzlies, and Hornets. Is there any place you want to go?"

"They are all small markets, and they are not close to my home. I don't have a favorite team."

After hearing what Paul said, Lin Yu understood what Paul was thinking.

"If I had a choice, I would go to the Grizzlies."

"The Grizzlies actually have the strength to make the playoffs. Last season, everyone knew the dire situation in the Western Conference."

"Although the Grizzlies sent Battier away, they still have a lot of bargaining chips. If you go, making the playoffs in your first season will not be a problem at all."

From Lin Yu's perspective, going to the Grizzlies is indeed the best choice.

The wife of the eldest brother, the best sixth man Mike Miller, and James Posey are the outstanding championship puzzles that have helped the Heat and Celtics win the championship in history.

Although Battier is missing, the depth of the lineup is indeed there.

And the Grizzlies also have a LOGO man.

The combination of Paul + Dajiasao is good as long as they can achieve results.

There is no way the LOGO man would not find help for the two of them.

Although this pair played in the finals, it was indeed a bit lacking.

But the playoffs are really not that difficult.

After hearing Lin Yu's words, Paul also felt that it made sense.

Although Dajiasao was not selected for the best team, she is still an All-Star center after all.

Working with such players is at least better than letting the team play badly and continue to hoard talent.

So, at Lin Yu's suggestion, Paul boarded a plane to Memphis.

In the NBA, various trade rumors have already appeared at this time.

For example, the Hawks put Antoine Walker, a former All-Star forward, on the shelf.

Suns guard Joe Johnson decided to test the free market because he was not satisfied with the contract offered by the Suns.

The most eye-catching news among them is, of course, the return of the Zen Master to the Lakers.

That’s right, ‘Zen Master’ Phil Jackson is back with the Lakers!

The general view of the outside world on this matter is that the Lakers want to start competing for the championship again.

Barkley directly stated on the show that the Lakers may make a big move this summer.

"We all know that Zen Master is best at triangle offense, and the Lakers now have a dual-core offense."

"The Lakers traded back for Phil Jackson in order to trade him again in the summer and then start competing for the championship."

"After all, the Lakers' old rival, the Celtics, has revived. Can the Lakers be willing to sink like this?"

Barkley's analysis also represents the outside world's view of the Lakers.

Lin Yu didn't care about it. After all, in the original history, the Lakers also brought back the Zen Master.

And even if the Lakers want to trade, who will they trade for?
Antoine Walker?

This power forward has no defense and likes to shoot three-pointers.

Although the Zen Master was criticized during his time with the Knicks, it doesn't mean he is a fool.

He still understands that defense wins championships.

Single Joe?
It is possible to play against Joe alone.

After all, Joe, who is 2 meters tall and plays singles, can actually swing to the third position.

And Iso Joe can also pass the ball. If the Lakers trade Iso Joe, then this matter will be interesting.

But will the Lakers trade One-Player Joe?
No.

Should the Suns, who are also in the Western Conference, send one of their guards to their Western Conference opponent?
At this time, Lin Yu also began to look forward to how the various transactions that deviated from the original history would happen.

As trade rumors spread throughout the league, Boston also began its championship parade.

Lin Yu and others were sitting on the bus with the O'Brien Cup placed at the front.

Lin Yu stood on the roof of the car, opened the champagne and sprayed it towards the fans on both sides of the road, celebrating the championship with the fans.

At the end of the championship parade, Lin Yu and others gave speeches.

In general, we will praise each other and then defend the title next year...

The day after the championship parade, Lin Yu also received a similar call.

The general content of the call was very simple: he wanted to leave the NBA.

Lin Yu was not surprised by this incident.

The defense itself is a big problem and the confrontation ability is poor.

After partnering with Lin Yu, as a fixed-point three-point shooter, he can help the team to some extent.

But considering the defensive problems in the playoffs, Rivers didn't give him much playing time.

He averaged 5.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in the regular season, but only 2.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in the playoffs.

It can't be said that he is a complete slacker, but his effect is indeed not great.

In addition, the misunderstandings between Dazhi and his country have been resolved, and Dazhi has won the NBA championship.

Therefore, after some consideration, he decided to return to China to play basketball. After all, his technical characteristics are more suitable for domestic competitions.

Lin Yu did not object. After all, he was roughly ranked behind Okur and Kurt Thomas in the Celtics.

Moreover, Lin Yu and Dio played inside from time to time, which made their overall playing time even less.

Almost immediately after leaving, Lin Yu received a call from Mo Ning.

Mourning was a main rotation player in the playoffs, and he actually had no regrets after winning the championship.

"I'm old, and I originally wanted to end my career with the Celtics, but when you get old you miss home, so I decided to go back to Miami and play for another year before retiring."

"I know the Heat are the Celtics' rivals, but I like that you can understand me."

Lin Yu didn't say much and could only send his blessings to Mo Ning over the phone.

It is human nature for leaves to return to their roots.

Players who were once famous, such as Harden and Wade, eventually retired from their parent teams after wandering around.

Although Mourning was not selected by the Heat, he gave his peak years to the Heat.

In the NBA, the Heat is Mourning's home, and returning to his hometown to retire is also a normal choice for Mourning.

Two of his teammates from last season left at once, but Lin Yu didn’t care too much.

The Celtics retained their championship core.

As Tony and others continue to grow, the Celtics will become even stronger!

Whether it is the Heat or the Pistons, Lin Yu is still confident that next season will bring them fishing!

As time went by, the draft began.

6 month 24 day.

Madison Square Garden.

The annual draft is held again.

Lin Yu did not participate in the talent show this time, so naturally he did not go to the scene, but watched the talent show at home.

After Stern read out his routine opening remarks, he announced the winner of the first pick.
