Leaving the right to choose to Kobe, Old Nelson thought it was a good idea.

The main reason is that they are not sure whether to send Kobe to the Lakers, so that the Lakers can have two super giants and become a tough enemy.

Or choose the Knicks or Mavericks' offer...

And letting Kobe decide can also give people the feeling of "the Warriors have done their best in trading."

But in fact, Lin Xing knew very well that if Kobe really wanted to leave the Warriors to prove himself, he would not be able to choose the Lakers.

Simply put, what is the difference between choosing the Lakers and staying with the Warriors?

No, there are some differences.

Staying with the Warriors was suppressed by Lin Xing's GOAT.

After going to the Lakers, I was pressed by the sharks who have gained nothing so far in their career.

If Lin Xing was Kobe, Lin Xing would rather stay with the Warriors and be suppressed by GOAT.

As for whom the Knicks or Kobe chooses, it doesn't matter.

After all, it’s just the difference between Lin Xing’s second partner Alan Houston or Michael Finley.

The former's shooting is more accurate and its singles ability is better.

The latter is more versatile, healthier, and has a longer career than the former.

But if there is any big difference, there is definitely no.

So, the Knicks are still the Mavericks, and the Warriors don't care.

At most, Old Nelson is a bit biased. Compared to Jerry Starkhouse or Sean Bradley that the Mavericks can provide, he hopes to get Cott Thomas.

...

San Francisco, Big Nate BBQ.

Lin Xing met Kobe again, and he really felt like he was a different life.

After winning the championship this year, he and Kobe have never met again.

There are certainly some contradictions when it comes to talking about contradictions, but it is mainly contradictions on the court.

Outside the field, the two had no friction.

But Lin Xing felt like a lifetime ago because he felt that Kobe was no longer the younger brother who followed him a few years ago.

The main reason is that Kobe's attitude towards Lin Xing has changed, and he has gradually stood at the same height as Lin Xing.

This made Lin Xing a little uncomfortable, but now Kobe is leaving, and it is time to untie the knot that should be untie.

"You know, after you refused to renew your contract and made it clear that you wanted to leave, the team put you in the transfer market. In the past two days, we received some quotations one after another. Finally, after negotiations, we screened out three quotations."

Lin Xing handed Kobe three offers and then said:

"These three quotes are now handed over to you, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, where to go, you have the final say."

Kobe raised his eyelids in a little surprised, and then took the offer and looked around carefully.

Finally, he was confused:

"The Lakers' most generous offer, you and Gary are good brothers, why..."

"Why not trade with the Lakers directly?"

Lin Xing took the lead and asked the question Kobe wanted to ask.

He smiled slightly and then gave an answer: "Because we know, I don't want to go to the Lakers."

"I don't want to go to the Lakers? Why are I so sure?"

Kobe's next question was kept in his mouth, because he would know the answer in the next second—

"I don't want to assist that fat man Shaq!"

Kobe nodded slightly, then looked at the two offers of the Mavericks and the Knicks.

He was also a little hesitant and didn't know how to choose.

The former has a younger lineup, and Jamison is a star power forward. Kobe is sure that after he joins, the Mavericks will be able to make it straight to the playoffs.

The latter, the aging of Alan Houston lineup is severely aging, but the Knicks are located in the largest metropolis in the United States...

After hesitating for a while, Kobe looked up again—

"Don't you have a little bias?"

"There is certainly some, but the decision is up to you, Kobe."

Lin Xing is so fond of water. He will definitely sell this favor anyway.

Kobe nodded again, hesitated for a second, and finally made a decision: "I choose the Knicks!"

"Can you tell me why you didn't choose the Mavericks?"

"I'm a Nico, so I don't like the city in Dallas."

Kobe gave a very convincing reason. Indeed, Dallas should be one of the most severe racial discrimination in the United States.

Kobe used this reason to reject the Mavericks, which was a sufficient reason.

Lin Xing continued to smile and stretched out his right hand: "So, congratulations, Kobe, you are going to play in the largest metropolis in the United States."

"No, to be precise, you are going to be the boss of the Knicks."

The word "Boss" suddenly hit Kobe.

Kobe knew very well why he wanted to leave the Warriors. In fact, before the Finals, his idea of ​​leaving the Warriors was not that strong.

But in the finals, Lin Xing told Kobe with practical actions that the Warriors were behind Lin Xing's team.

Kobe had the strong idea of ​​leaving the Warriors...

"Thank you, Stah."

Kobe paused, but Lin Xing could see that he had something to say.

"I'm very happy that I have a good brother like you in the first three years of my career."

He stretched out his hands towards Lin Xing, and Lin Xing knew that this was the meaning of hugging.

Lin Xing did not refuse. He came to Kobe in person for the sake of this hug.

With a heavy hug, Kobe attached to Lin Xing's ear and asked again in a low voice:

"The deal is completed, we are still friends, are we right?"

Lin Xing patted Kobe on the back: "Yes!"

...

A day later, the Warriors and the Knicks jointly announced that-

The Warriors sent Kobe and John Starks, and got Alan Houston, Cote Thomas and three future first rounds from the Knicks.

Although he has performed well in the Warriors in these two seasons, Starks has to leave this time.

Because Alan Houston's contract is relatively large, the Warriors need to match the contract.

Because of Starks, the Knicks were forced to add another second round.

In this regard, Ni Guan is not ink.

After all, Kobe is about to get it. Give up Kobe for this first round? They are not that stupid yet.

Nicole is straightforward, but the New York media, who are always picking on it, is not so straightforward.

As soon as the transaction was completed, the first question raised by the local media in New York was-

"John Starks, who was only given out in the first round, is now back and giving the Warriors a first round. How is this business done?"

Nikka was actually helpless. Starks had a high salary and low ability at the time, but it was already a negative asset for the Knicks. There was nothing wrong with adding one to the first round.

Now Starks won two championships in a row as the starting shooting guard in the Warriors, which is definitely a real asset.

Moreover, his defense plus three-pointers is still a scarce attribute in this league, and the price of a first round is barely worth it.

The Knicks don't want it, the Warriors want to sell it, and they can also sell it at least one second round.

In addition to questioning Starks' return, New York media are also questioning-

"Bryant Bryant has never proved his ability to lead the team alone. He has had a solo experience with the Warriors, but he has a record of 3 wins and 7 losses in ten games."

I have to say that this is where the New York media is speechless.

If you are not as good as black, you will have to be hard. It can only be said that the pressure in New York is still outrageous.

There is no reason why the Knicks later became a star black hole.

Even Lin Xing was worried about Kobe.

However, there are also those who welcome Kobe to join, such as Spike Lee, who said excitedly:

"I was so happy to see Kobe Bryant finally opting to join the Knicks. I had even decided to make a documentary for Kobe that belonged to him!"
