Ricky Paul played an important role in the rise of the Lakers again, because he constantly brought his players to the Lakers to improve his strength. Last season, Ricky Paul's players included James, Davis, Pope, Tarun Horton Tucker, J.R. Smith and Witsey.
This season, Ricky Paul signed harel for two years at a low price of190,000 USD, although Vitesse and J.R. Smith were missing from his team. Witsey and J.R. Smith were marginal players in the Lakers last season, but harel will play the sixth man in the new season. It can be said that Ki-Paul's influence on the Lakers has increased again in the new season.
Ricky Paul has a good eye for people, and now he is one of the most powerful agents in the league. In the salary ranking of players in the new season, his players have ranked second in the agent circle, second only to veteran agent Jeff Schwartz.
In recent years, Ricky Paul has signed some new stars. 20 19, became tucker's agent before the draft. Tucker is1.93m tall. In the 2018/9 season, Iowa averaged1.8 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists 1.3 steals, shooting percentage was 40.6% and free throws were made. Just looking at the data, Tucker is not outstanding, but he has outstanding physical talent, with a wingspan of 2 meters 16, belonging to the long-arm guard.
In the 20 19 draft, the Lakers didn't have the No.46 draft pick, but in order to get Tucker, they spent $2.2 million to buy this draft pick from Magic and chose Tucker.
It is worth mentioning that according to ESPN reporter Dave mcmenamin, Tucker has revealed that he has not tried to train for the Lakers, and even in the joint training camp organized by the league, Tucker has never met the management of the Lakers. However, he is already a customer of Crouch Sports, and has met with James and Brother Thick Eyebrows before the draft.
So how did the Lakers choose Tucker? Pelinka, general manager of the Lakers, said that the team had planned to make mistakes in the second round, because the team did well in the first round, the last round and the second draft, and Tucker was still there, so the team made a move.
Tucker is a client of Ricky Paul. If the Lakers dare to choose Tucker without a trial, of course Ricky Paul's recommendation is inevitable. Just like last season, the Lakers brought in Vitesser and J.R. Smith in the middle of the season, which is very important because they are both Ricky Paul's clients.
James and Ricky Paul's clients have been in close contact. The Lakers obviously give priority to Ricky Paul's client signing.
Ricky Paul was formed in the Lakers, but if he can help the team win the championship, the Lakers are eager to introduce more customers under Paul. As for getting Tarun Horton-Tucker, it is another masterpiece of general manager Pelinka. Tucker broke out in two preseason games in a row. In the first game, 19 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and in the second game, 33 points 10 rebounds and 4 assists.
The new season is expected to enter the rotation lineup, and coach vogel will face happy troubles. The depth of the team lineup is too strong, and how to arrange his players' playing time will be a problem that often bothers him.
