With a god-level offensive coach like Adelman, Qiao Feng felt that he could add some offensive players.
Now the team lacked fierce offensive firepower!
Qiao Feng took the player list of each team and compared it with the list of free agents.
He had finally found a suitable candidate!
The person he was looking for was the Raptors 'Jordan van!
Van Fleet was still a fringe player on the Raptors.
Last season, he played 37 times, with an average of 7.9 minutes and 2.9 points per game.
With such data, he was definitely a water fountain player.
However, Qiao Feng knew that when the Raptors won the championship in 2019, Jordan had made great contributions.
Later, he also became the biggest contract holder for non-draft players.
Qiao Feng's current plan was to get Jordan to join the Los Angeles Clippers before he became famous.
Then, he would become the super sixth player in the team.
Thinking of this, Qiao Feng immediately took action.
"Hello, Marseille Ujeri, I'm the general manager of the Los Angeles Clippers, Qiao Feng!”
"I want to trade your team's Fred van Vliet!”
"My offer is a second-round draw!”
The president of the Raptors, Ujeli, was also an outstanding team manager.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to lead the Raptors to their first championship.
Ujeri hesitated. He couldn't figure out why the new general manager of the Laker would take a fancy to his team's unremarkable reserve.
To be honest, Ujeli himself did not pay much attention to Van Fleet.
The NBA was still a league that valued talent.
This van Jordan really didn't have any talent.
He was a little over 1.8 meters tall, but he played like a shooting guard.
Unless such a player had the extreme talent of Iverson, it would be difficult for him to make a name for himself in the NBA.
Moreover, he was not young anymore. As a talent who had been selected, he really did not have much value in nurturing.
Defenders like this were everywhere in America.
He could bring back a few of them just by walking around the street stadium.
Perhaps his talent would be even better than Van Fleet's!
The Raptors had been doing well in recent years.
The regular season was often the top team in the Eastern Conference.
This made their draft picks always lower.
It would be a good choice if he could get another second-round draw.
Thinking of this, Wu Jili immediately agreed to Qiao Feng's trade request.
"Alright, I agree!"
Ujeri said straightforwardly.
Qiao Feng was secretly delighted. He had obviously made a killing by getting a player of the best sixth man level with a second-round signing.
Van Fleet, who was practicing in the stadium, suddenly received a call.
"Hey, Fred, it's Marseille Ugieri!”
"Thank you for your contribution to our team over the past season!”
"For the future of the team, we traded you to the Los Angeles Laker!”
Van Fleet was not too surprised.
He had long made preparations.
A fringe figure like him in the NBA was destined to be homeless.
The team did not cut him directly but traded him, which gave Van Fleet a sense of comfort.
After hanging up the phone, Van Fleet prepared to go home and pack his things. He was moving to Los Angeles.
At this moment, his phone rang again.
Van Fleet took a look. It was an unfamiliar number.
He hesitated for a moment before picking up the call.
"Hello, I'm the general manager of the Laker, Qiao Feng!”
" Welcome to the Laker!"
"In the new season, you will become an important scoring point for us!”
"The team will set up special tactics for you!”
"We'll talk about the rest after you come to the team!”
After Van Fleet heard this, he suddenly felt flattered.
He was a draft pick and a fringe figure in the NBA, yet he was treated so well by the general manager.
Van Fleet did not know what to say for a moment.
"Alright, alright!"
Then, he hung up.
Van Fleet didn't expect Qiao Feng to personally pick him up when he and his girlfriend flew to Los Angeles.
"Hey, Fred, you've worked hard. It's a long way to fly from Dorondo to Los Angeles!”
After Qiao Feng finished speaking, he gave Van Fleet a warm hug.
"Joe, thank you for thinking so highly of me!”
"I must perform well in the new season!”
"Take me to our training center!”
"I'm going to start training!"
Van Fleet couldn't wait to repay Qiao Feng's kindness!
Qiao Feng waved his hand." There's no need to be in such a hurry!”
"Let's go to the place where we live first!"
Van Fleet and his girlfriend were shocked.
"We haven't found a place to stay yet. We plan to stay in a hotel first!”
Qiao Feng smiled and said,"There's no need to look, I've already helped you find it!"”
"I live in an apartment five kilometers away from the team!”
Van Fleet was in a difficult position.
"Joe, thank you for your kindness, but I don't have that much money right now!”
Qiao Feng laughed loudly.
"Fred, the team rented this for you!”
"You can stay for free. You don't have to pay rent yourself!”
Van Fleet looked at Qiao Feng in surprise. He didn't expect the treatment of the Los Angeles Clippers to be so good!
Not everyone in the NBA was rich.
Van Fleet, for example, was only receiving a basic salary and living a vagrant life.
His living conditions were worse than ordinary office workers.
After getting Qiao Feng's assurance, Van Fleet could focus more on playing!
"Joe, I will definitely train hard to repay you!”
Van Fleet said seriously.
Qiao Feng smiled and patted his shoulder." Good luck, young man!”
