Neil Olshu is a quick analyst. Although he knows that Otis Smith definitely has no good intentions, after thinking about it, there are no players in his team worthy of the Magic's concern, and Otis Smith said

The performance of the three defenders last season was indeed remarkable, and the only real point guard on the Clippers' defense line next season is the alien Sam Cassell, who is about to turn 37.

Although Sam Cassel was in good form last season, he has shown signs of aging and has suffered more injuries. It is simply unrealistic to expect Sam Cassel to play a full season and be in good form.

Recently, the team has also been contacting veteran Brevin Knight, who was waived by the Charlotte Bobcats, but Knight's height is too short, only 1.78. In addition, the team also looked at Denver. The Nuggets last season

’s main point guard Steve Black, but it was impossible for Black to win without a full mid-level contract, which made Nel Olshu reluctant.

"What, who do you like?"

"Sam, I know he played well last season. But considering his age, I believe he will no longer be in your future plans, how about? You give me Sam and I can give you Devin and Ken.

Young or Devin and Carlos, or even Carlos and Kenyon. You can make money with any of the multiple choices. You also know that it is not easy to do our job. You have to face the pressure of the boss at the top and the pressure from the boss at the bottom.

The pressure from the team boss." Otis Smith's tone suddenly became aggrieved.

"You also know that our boss is similar to your boss. He has been unimaginably generous this year, but Wood Lin named Eddie Griffin and Sam Cassel. You also saw that we

We just signed Eddie Griffin, do you know how much it cost us?"

Before Nel Olshu, who had resonated in his heart, could express his guess, Otis Smith continued: "12 million in three years, how can such a troublesome player be worth so much money, but there is no way

Ah, Wood asked for it by name. Do you think I can disagree? You have also seen that the strength of our insiders is actually very good, but there is no way to satisfy him and he can only compete with other teams. In the end, he won it with such an offer.

, do you think it's easy? Now that he still wants Sam, I can only come and beg you, even if I am taken advantage of and killed by you, there is nothing I can do."

Neil Olshu also understands Otis Smith very well, because the owner of the Clippers is much stingier than the owner of the Magic and is recognized as the stingiest person in the league, although he also knows that Otis Smith is pretending.

, but after careful analysis, after all, Sam Casal only has one year left on his contract, and it is difficult to say what his status will be next season, but the Magic can provide two good immediate players.

After thinking about it carefully, Nel Olshu felt that this deal could be done, but he did not intend to agree immediately: "I need to discuss it with the coach, but basically we will agree to send Sam to Orlando."

Otis Smith breathed a sigh of relief when he received Nel Olshu's answer. Although Sam Cassel was older, he still had some strength. More importantly, he could teach Lin Sen many things. This was the most important thing.

important.

As for Devin Brown, Kenyon Dulin and even Carlos Arroyo, they were not originally part of the team's plan. One of the three was destined to be enough to become a part of the team's rotation.

"Sign another veteran inside player and we'll have everything done this summer." Otis Smith said with a smile to Stan Van Gundy in front of him.

And next to Stan Van Gundy stood another person, and this person was Jeff Van Gundy, the head coach of the Houston Rockets last season.

Jeff Van Gundy will become his brother Stan Van Gundy's assistant coach next season, which is also the penultimate piece of the Magic's last four puzzles next season.
