The Celtics reacted, and other teams with the right to choose lottery picks also became restless. The king suddenly came out and chose Tatum to break the original balance. Maybe he could take advantage of the situation and choose better players.

Seeing that everyone was busy, Su Yang stood up with a smile and left the team area, heading straight to the direction of the talent show stage, preparing to welcome him as soon as possible after Tatum was interviewed, and took out his cell phone, sent a text message to Kobe, and gave some encouragement words.

After all, Tatum is a hardcore Komi. He dreamed of playing in the Lakers. He refused the Celtics' trial. If it weren't for Danny Angie's invitation through Duke's coach, he would still choose to ignore it and even wanted to join forces with Booker in the Suns.

At the same time, espn officially reported the details of the deal between the Kings and the Lakers through live broadcast: the Kings gave Paul George, and the 30th pick in the first round of the 2017 first round of the draft, and the Lakers got the second pick in the first round of the 2017 first round of the draft, as well as the 2019 first round of the draft, and Larry Nance Jr. After the transaction, the Kings can free up at least $14 million in salary space.

Although the transaction has not completely solved the problem of luxury tax, it has lowered many points, and obtained rookies with high combat power and future draft picks. At the same time, it has added a substitute player to the center position. ESPN gave an s-level evaluation.

The Lakers also received the S-level evaluation. Paul George's performance is obvious and strong. In the next few seasons, he will definitely be an MVP-level player. The key is that after getting George, he can take advantage of other operations and quickly return to the strong team.

Taking advantage of Tatum's interview, the espn host and three guests gave a brief comment on the transaction.

Draft expert Chat Ford said: "I predicted that Jason Tatum is the second most potential player in this draft, and it has been refuted by many fans. However, the Kings' operation indirectly confirmed my inference. I think no one would doubt Su Yang's decision. He has selected MVP players such as James Harden, Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo."

Commentator Bill Simmons said: "I admit that Jason Tatum is a rookie with strong combat power, but judging from his playing style at Duke, he mainly scores by holding the ball, and it is difficult for him to get the opportunity to hold the ball in the Kings. More importantly, his defense level is not stable, and it is several times worse than the exposure of George. I think the Kings' deal this time is not cost-effective. Of course, considering that George has only one year left in the Kings' contract, Su Yang may also choose to maximize returns."

Commentator Stephen Smith said: "Considering the Kings' terrifying salary space and the complex renewal situation of the three main players in the team, I think the Kings' trading George and choosing a high-ranking rookie is a perfect decision, which will ensure that they have strong enough strength next season, without worrying about the renewal of Lavender, Cousins ​​and Grant, and taking the initiative."

While talking, Tatum's separate interview ended. He stood up and left the stage. From a distance, he saw Su Yang standing and waiting.

Tatum's agent Jeff Wexler waved and signaled, the two walked towards Su Yang together, and their professional smiles instantly slapped on their faces.

The three of them greeted each other and introduced them, and after a while, they changed to the topic.

Su Yang looked at Tatum seriously and said, "You will be our core player in the next stage. We will not treat you as a substitute for Paul George. You are Jason Tatum. We need your immediate combat power, and we also need you to do a good job in defense. You will be trained in the most professional and top level in the league. Next, I will let your idol Kobe Bryant play..."

He dialed Kobe's number casually and handed Tatum the phone to Tatum. Tatum picked up the suspiciously and put it in his ear. He soon showed a surprise expression, then nodded repeatedly, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um

The agent Jeff Wexler smiled when he saw this, as if he attached great importance to the King and Su Yang and was particularly satisfied.

Tatum handed back the phone and suddenly asked: "Coach, what do I need to do? I'm ready now!"

"You need to call your relatives and friends to share your joy now. Next, I will give you a detailed arrangement. Go." Su Yang responded with a smile. After confirming that he had chosen Tatum, he had already formulated a response training plan, but he was not in a hurry to do so now.

According to the analysis of the scout report, Tatum's template is Alan Houston and Danny Granger. The biggest advantage is that the shooting rate of the ball is quite high. Even if you play with the ball, you can be competent for the wing-off-ball style. The biggest disadvantage is that the defensive enthusiasm is insufficient, which is mainly due to the confrontation deviation caused by physical fitness, especially the upper limbs, and the explosive power deviation from the start.

Su Yang does not plan to train Tatum into a muscle monster next season. The main goal is to improve Tatum's ball control and understanding of the game. Specifically at the defensive level, just do assist in defense, and he does not expect him to be able to defend forwards such as Durant and LeBron.

Tatum nodded and turned away. Su Yang continued to chat with Jeff Wexler for a few words, but did not talk about when to sign the contract or something. Sam Sinki was responsible for those, mainly talking about some potential business plans around Tatum's implementation.

Jeff Wexler is a very energy-rich agent. In addition to Tatum, he also has players such as Irving and Ixa. There may be potential cooperation in the future. This time, he will talk more about it if he has the opportunity to facilitate the operation of other things later.

After the detailed talk, Su Yang called Xiao Nansi again, and after a brief greeting, he said: "Hey, Larry, next season we need you to be the substitute center, but you don't need to gain weight quickly. You need to quickly understand our offense and defense strategies. Later, the coaching staff will send you some videos. You can make your own plans and study this offseason. I hope you can integrate into us as soon as possible. We will also help you achieve value. No matter what happens in the future, we will work closely together in the next two years."

"Okay, coach, thank you for calling..." Xiao Nansi was obviously a little panicked, probably because of a sudden transaction.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang rushed to the temporary media center and greeted the magician Johnson who had been waiting for a long time. The two of them worked together to play with Danny Anji, one was an ancient enemy and the other was a new enemy. It was a win-win situation, and only Anji cried.

Taking advantage of his free time, Su Yang was interviewed by TNT reporters and talked about why he chose to trade George. He said bluntly that it would give both sides a better result. Thanks to George for his hard work for the Kings in the past two seasons and wishes George a success in his hometown Los Angeles.

The draft was held next, and Su Yang found that the Celtics chose Josh Jackson instead, while the Suns chose Langzo Ball. In a blink of an eye, they chose Kuzma, who was handsome and capable of playing, as well as Harden's companion Josh Hart.

Entering the second round of the draft, the Kings have the 60th pick. Su Yang does not like the player and does not want to do other operations. He directly chooses a European player Alfa Kaba who is not ready to sign, and is ready to use it to add some points to the transaction in the future.

After the draft, Su Yang and Sinki flew back to Sa City. After a day off, they were preparing to hold a press conference for Tatum.

I arrived at the office at 8 o'clock in the morning, but unexpectedly saw little Thomas standing at the door, with a look of embarrassment and excitement.
