Having already signed James, it is obviously unrealistic to think of taking Anthony and George together.
So Lakers can only make a difficult choice between the two.
I don't know what role Old Zhang will play in this...
Time gradually comes to July 19th.
Los Angeles Lakers, the official announcement was made.
They spent 52 million in two years to sign Carmelo·Anthony. James ultimately preferred Anthony...
Los Angeles Lakers, also successfully formed an aircraft carrier.
At least from the lineup on paper, they are not inferior to Warriors.
The strong combination of Anthony and James, plus the team also has Ingram, Lonzo Ball, Kuzma, young people with full potential, and there are also veterans Rondo and Stephenson.
It can be said to be extremely luxurious.
This makes the already wild Western Conference become even more turbulent after the addition of James Anthony.
Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma Thunder, San Antonio Spurs.
There are five super teams with multiple All-Stars fighting each other.
In addition, they are closely followed by the rising Nuggets, Jazz, and Trail Blazers.
The terrifying lineup is chilling.
In comparison, Eastern Conference seems much more comfortable.
Celtics, Philadelphia 76ers and Twin Stars will have a very good development environment.
Of course, it is still not safe to look forward to next season from the current perspective.
After all, transactions are still going on, and many teams are still making many moves in preparation.
On July 20, Moon came to Chen Xi's home.
"The itinerary for the trip to China is almost finalized. The four cities are Shanghai, Hangzhou, Fuzhou and Guangzhou. This time, the priority is the cities in the south."
"Well, your schedule is not tight, right? I still want to go shopping."
"It's not too stressful. The four cities will take about two and a half weeks. I will arrive in Shanghai on August 1st, go to Hangzhou on August 6th, go to Fuzhou on August 11th, and arrive in Guangzhou on August 16th. The return ticket has not been booked yet, it depends on what you want."
"Oh, let's see then. Don't worry, I will definitely adapt to China much easier than you staff."
"Well, of course, you have a three-day itinerary for New York at the end of August. It's best to leave some time and don't rush it." Moon looked at Chen Xi with some worry.
This guy ran off to have a picnic without saying a word, and then he didn't even look at his phone or email. He couldn't contact anyone for two days, and he almost wanted to call the police.
"Okay, okay, I understand..."
Chen Xi turned his head away unnaturally, not looking at Moon's resentful eyes.
After the exchange, Chen Xi stayed at home with Moon and had dinner before sending him away.
Turning to look at Esports room.
Next, it's game time.

Hero League, start!
On July 25, Chen Xi was at home and received a call from Butler.
"Chris, come out and play ball."
"? Oh."
Very short conversation.
Chen Xi looked at the screen of his mobile phone that was gradually extinguishing, thoughtfully.
It seems that Butler's negotiations with the team did not go smoothly.
JB's appeal is simple. I have sacrificed so much for the team, and now I am in my contract year.
Either you give me the ball rights and I pay for it myself, or you give me a satisfactory early contract renewal offer.
But Thunder is also difficult.
The structure of the team's Big Three has been set up, and facts have proven that this framework is very complete and reasonable.
If you want to increase the ball rights now, it will inevitably reduce the ball rights of the other two people.
Chen Xi Westbrook I agree or disagree, but what about your efficiency after taking possession of the ball and your physical distribution?
Butler is the core of the team's defensive system. If a lot of energy is allocated to Offensive End, then the decline in efficiency on the defensive end will become inevitable.
However, Westbrook and Chen Xi obviously cannot replace Butler Help defense.
Now that Gordon is gone again, Wing is missing a high-level defender.
Let's talk about renewing the contract in advance.
Westbrook is also in a contract year, so he will definitely be given priority to renew next year. In addition, Chen Xi's contract is only for three years and will be renewed in two years. Moreover, the contracts of Chen Xi and Little Sabonis ended in the same year. With Little Sabonis's progress, it will not be easy to keep him by then.
Now if Butler is given a big contract, then there is no need to talk about salary space, and everyone else will be given free rein, and the three of you will be fine!
Sometimes reality is so cruel, business is just business after all.
As a result, if both parties cannot reach an agreement, then the countdown may begin for Butler to leave the team.
Putting down the phone, Chen Xi went downstairs to the garage. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the keys of F12, turned around and got out of the car.
With a kick of the accelerator, Chen drove towards the old place.
Not the team's Training facility.
It's a small, remote indoor arena.
This arena is Butler's secret base. It is very close to his home and can be reached in ten minutes' walk.
And Chen Xi also occasionally patronizes here at the invitation of JB.
After entering the door, you can see the figure of the strong man sweating profusely from a distance.
"Chris! You're here! Come on, come and play a round of bullfighting with me."
"Here we come, don't worry."
Chen Xi smiled and said hello, then turned to the sidelines and started stretching.
"I haven't exercised in a while, please wait while I warm up."
Ten minutes later, Chen Xi walked under Rebound and caught Basketball who had just Swished Through the Net.
"21 points."
"Okay, you're ready to serve."
"Okay."
We are all old acquaintances, so there is no need to say anything more.
Butler once again took the ball from Chen Xi, then held the ball Triple Threat and looked at the young man in front of him.
After the continuous fake move Shot Fake, he quickly dropped the ball to break through, rushed to the horn position with Chen Xi, and then made Shot Fake again.
But Chen Xi doesn't eat it at all.
In desperation, Butler, who had already stopped the ball, had no choice but to forcefully take off and shoot backwards.
Basketball rubbed Chen Xi's fingertips and flew out, hitting the front edge of Basket.
Chen Xi turned around and picked off the ball, dribbled out of the Three-Pointer line himself, and turned around Face-Up.
After a series of Crossover Dribble, a Crossover Step quickly started and rushed past JB.
Butler reacted very quickly, quickly followed up with his feet, and was disturbed by his approach to Chen Xi.
The two of them rushed to Paint between their limbs Contact.
Then Chen Xi quickly made an emergency stop and connected behind him, then changed hands and jumped.
After taking off, a lever came up in the air.
The golden stuntman badge flashed.
Basketball also fell into the net.
"Damn!!!"
Butler yelled unwillingly.
His defense was predicted, but he didn't expect Chen Xi to pull the lever after taking off.
