"There are still many players in the free market. We are working hard to contact Paul (referring to Gasol). He needs to make a decision after the Olympics. We are still working with Jerry Bayless, Marcus Sauton, and Gerald Green. We are working hard to improve the lineup." Kupchek said at this time.

Tang Shuai nodded. The players Kupchek mentioned were the most likely recruited by the Lakers.

"I'll find you here today. On the one hand, I'll let you meet, on the other hand, I'll want to recruit some free agents through you who are still hesitating. Any player, as long as you think you may be recruiting, will be submitted to me, and I'll consider it." Kupchek then added.

From his words, we can feel that the players he mentioned earlier seem to have received considerable offers. If we can't find a suitable player at the beginning of the season, we may have to find a rookie who has lost the election to fill the gap.

In fact, the Lakers' signature has now reached the lowest point in history. Take last year alone. Most of the players recruited by Kupchek during the offseason are former Lakers players. It is quite good to have such a result this season.

"I will try my best to recruit. If there is a suitable one, I will communicate with you as soon as possible." Barnes said. Although he has always played for the Warriors, as the North Carolina Flying Eagles and has been with the popular team Warriors before, he should know many free agents.

"I'm afraid I can't help much in this regard." Noel said with a wry smile. He is only a third-year student and has been staying in the 76ers team. If you want to talk about popularity, he is probably not much more than Tang Shuai.

Kupchek nodded repeatedly and finally looked at Tang Shuai.

"I think Nicklas can try it." Tang Shuai said, "He should be the longest-time player among us, and his popularity seems to have always been good."

When the free market opened, although he was competing in the Olympics with the national team, he had privately discussed his teammates with Duffy.

"I have communicated with him Nicklas, and he is working hard to recruit for the team." Kupchek said.

Tang Shuai nodded. Kupchek was obviously not stupid. He probably asked him to help recruit players when he signed Batum.

But judging from the current appearance, the effect should not be very good, otherwise there would be no meeting in front of you.

"I will try my best to recruit, of course the possibility of what I can do is very limited. After all, until now, I am just a second-year student." Tang Shuai said with a smile.

Although he had just passed his rookie season, there were indeed free agents among the players he knew, Stephenson and Ismail Smith, but he was not as full as Barnes, after all, he had not yet contacted his two former teammates.

"It's enough to have your words. We won't stop recruiting before the season starts, but there is no doubt that you are the future of the Lakers. I hope you can get along well and strive to lead the team to revive as soon as possible." Kupchek nodded and said.

The few people chatted for a few more times, which made each other slightly deepened their impression.

After the exchange, Tang Shuai also had the most basic understanding of his two new teammates and new coaches.

Luke Walton, although he has seen many games with the Warriors, many people are completely different on and off the court. Walton gives people a more gentle and elegant gentleman, good at talking and always finds some topics.

Even if such a person does not become a head coach and works in other places, he can still be successful. Thinking about his time from a player to a coach, it seems that this is true.

Harrison Barnes, this is an exception. He is as unspeakable and serious as his performance on the field. He is not as shy as a big boy.

And speaking of NBA, things are always like this. Last season, the two of them were tit-for-tat opponents. Unexpectedly, they became teammates in less than a few months.

Norance Noel is very similar to Akagi in Slam Dunk High School, especially the different hairstyles, which makes people always look at it, because most of the games with the 76ers are clocked in in three quarters. He hasn't paid much attention to it before. After this exchange, he found that he is also a very nagging player. I don't know if it was like this, or if he stayed with Embiid for a long time when he was in the 76ers.

After the official meeting ended, they left each other's contact information and then parted.

After leaving the cafe, Tang Shuai called Stephenson in the car.

After Stephenson was traded to the Grizzlies, he played a pretty good half season because of the lack of games by Gasol Jr. and other main players, and averaged 14 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. However, because his contract next season is as high as $920, the Grizzlies refused to execute his team options for next season, which made him a complete free agent.

Originally, according to his performance in the second half of last season, under the opportunity of a sharp increase in salary cap, it was okay to get a contract of $100, but due to his off-court factors, many teams were discouraged by him, and some teams who were interested in him were unwilling to give so much salary, which led to her being still a free agent now.

"Dang! You finally called me. I miss you so much!" As soon as the phone was connected, Stephenson's funny voice came.

When Tang Shuai heard this familiar voice, he couldn't help but be excited. Although he said he wanted to get together, because Los Angeles and Memphis were too far apart, and his affairs were one after another, their communication inevitably decreased. In short, they had never communicated again since the two of them had a phone call from the draft.

"Lance, when I heard your voice, I seemed to be back to the time I just arrived at the Clippers to report." Tang Shuai said from the heart.

"Haha, you kid, do you think it's not used to going to the Lakers?" Stephenson said with a smile.

"Lance, where are you, we should meet well." Tang Shuai paused and said.

"I'm training with my former Pacers teammates in Indiana, why don't I fly to Los Angeles tomorrow?" Stephenson said with pleasure.

"No, I'll come to find you." Tang Shuai said immediately.
