Q (question): What do you think of the recent performance of the Lakers?
A (answer): The Lakers guys played great.The team's lineup is constantly being adjusted this season, but even so, Xu still led the team to a good record, giving us hope of returning to the playoffs.
Q: How did you want to trade to Xu Tian?Or how did he trade him to the Lakers?
A: Kobe suggested trading Xu when I first took office, but at that time Xu was the most valuable player of the Summer League with a promising future, and the Rockets had no plans to trade him, so I gave up on the deal.We didn't restart this trading plan until the media broke the news that Xu and Dwight had a big fight in the locker room.
Q: Darrell Morey is a very shrewd person, how could he agree to give Xu to you?What I mean by that is that most teams don't trade players to their opponents in the same department.
A: Rob was a key factor in making that deal happen.He is the agent of Kobe and James Harden. Kobe successfully persuaded him, and he let James Harden propose to the team to trade Xu. Serge partner.Add those factors to a first-round pick and cash, and the deal is done.
Q: Now the outside world is saying that it was your deal to become a god!
A: (laughs) Maybe!perhaps!To be honest, I was not very optimistic about Xu's prospects at the beginning.You have to know that his reputation almost fell to the bottom at that time, and no team wanted to get him through a trade. Even I had doubts about Kobe's firm proposition.But the day Xu came to the team to report, I saw his training performance with anger, and immediately dispelled my previous doubts.
Q: Did Xu perform well in training?
A: Without a doubt!It was the first time he and the Lakers players practiced together, but he connected these unfamiliar teammates into a whole, which made me see my young self.At that time, I realized that Xu possessed extraordinary talent.
Q: Indeed, Xu adapted to the NBA almost immediately.Can you imagine him growing up so fast?
A: Of course!It is difficult for young people nowadays to adapt to the NBA because of poor basic skills. They only had talent when they entered the league.And Xu's basic skills are very solid, he doesn't need to add any skills, so he can quickly adapt to the NBA.
Q: Xu repeatedly emphasized that the goal is the championship. What do you think of his remarks?
A: I don't think it's a problem, and I think so too.When the Los Angeles Lakers play games, 16 championship banners will be hung above the Staples Center. Now we have enough talent to naturally want to win the 17th championship trophy.
Q: Okay, then I wish the Lakers can successfully achieve their goals!
A: Thank you!
