Explain the James departure rumors! Agent meets Lakers executives! The Nuggets reward Kaoshen for a new contract
According to ESPN authoritative reporter Adrian Wojnarowski, Rich Paul, the agent of Klutch Sports Group, an agency to which LeBron James belongs, has met with Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and senior management on Tuesday to inform James of his intention to stay on the team.
This year's All-Star Game was held in Cleveland, and James announced that he was considering returning to the cavaliers, a rumor that caused a hot discussion. After meeting with the Lakers' top management, Rich Paul said that James does not require the Lakers to adjust the management level, and Zhan Huang believes that the Lakers have not performed well this season, and all parties are responsible.
At the same time, Rich Paul also made it clear to the team that James' primary goal now is to do his duty as a member of the Lakers, will try his best to play the rest of the season, and work to improve the overall strength of the team in the off-season.
James is unhappy that the Lakers' top brass "did nothing" before the trade deadline because general manager Rob Pelinka did not make any moves, and while Rich Paul did not deny his dissatisfaction with him, he strongly denied that he pressured James to trade the Lakers russell Westbrook for John Wall.
However, Bill Oram, a reporter for The Athletic, pointed out that the "Emperor Zhan" currently has more power in Los Angeles than the late legend Kobe Bryant, as can be seen from the fact that he helped plot the "Westbrook" deal last year.
The Nuggets signed Cousins to the end of the season, winning 8 and losing 0 after joining
If you can sign a player and haven't lost yet, how can any team be willing to give up! The Nuggets officially announced on the 26th that they will sign Cousins to the end of this season, after all, since he joined the Nuggets on the 21st of last month, playing 8 games is a win, and Cousins is of course expected to temporarily end his ronin career.
Since the 2017-18 season with the Pelicans suffered a severe injury to Achilles tendon tear, Cousins' brilliant All-Star career came to an end, and then he spent the Warriors, Rockets, Clippers, Bucks and other teams are not reused, and often suspended due to injury, until last month signed the first 10-day contract with the Nuggets, only to get rid of the lack of attention.
The Nuggets gave Cousins his second 10-day contract on Jan. 28, followed by a third 10-day contract on Feb. 10, only to regularize his contract today, and to ensure that he stayed with the Nuggets until the end of the season, averaging 13.1 minutes during his time with the Nuggets, averaging 6.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game.
Looking back at the glorious period when Cousins was selected for the All-Star Game 4 times and the second team of the year twice, he has become a ronin who has been thrown around by various teams in recent years, and it can only be said that after the players face major physical injuries, it is really difficult to get back to the former glory, plus the 31-year-old is still grumpy, which makes it difficult for him to find long-term meal tickets in various teams.
