Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 187: The Big Deal, It’s Coming

What Li Wan knows.

The general managers of major teams naturally called Magic General Manager Otis at the first time like cats who smelled fishy.

Whether it is Li Wan or Howard, it is this year’s “one burst and one defense”.

There are three “best defensive” players this year, two of which are in Orlando.

In this way, these two fights are very normal…

Where is such a lot of luck that you little Orlando can have?

“Crouching Dragon Phoenix Hatchling”, you can only have one of them!

Otis frowned and refused call after call.

When the microphone on the table no longer rings.

It was already half past two in the middle of the night.

He knew the Magic’s sweet spot now wouldn’t last long.

But he thought the Magic collapse was because of the team’s salary.

I didn’t expect that…

But because of the bloodiest struggle for power!

What he didn’t expect the most was that the “catalyst” was actually Artest! ——Lao Tzu asked you to come to help win the championship, but it turned out to be troublesome!

I knew that last summer, I should have paid more to sign Ariza over!

Whether it’s worth saying is another thing, at least it won’t make the current situation so bad…

You know, if the whole world knows that you can trade, then the value of this transaction cannot be maximized!

Therefore, his first reaction was mainly to stabilize the emotions of the two people.

Then the people who make trouble, trade it off!

If you can’t solve the problem, then solve it first with the person who raised the problem!

As a general manager, you must not be rigid!

Just to ensure the implementation of the plan, it is necessary for him to talk to Li Wan and Howard.

Whether Artest could walk or not was one of his thoughts.

The main thing is whether Howard and Li Wan are willing to do what he does.

Especially Li Wan.

Just before there was a rumor of trading Artest, he immediately made a strong statement in front of the media and did not agree to trade Artest.

Therefore……

In Otis’s view, whether his plan can be implemented must first look at Li Wan’s attitude.

Would you like to give him a call to talk?

Otis knew that if he let Richie DeVos know, he would definitely be a phone call away.

Anyway, if you want to ask Li Wan’s opinion, then I might as well give this money to Li Wan!”

But in the current situation, from the perspective of a general manager, it is very necessary to give Li Wan a call!

After all……

This is the first person in the history of the Magic team!

Determined, Otis got up and made himself a cup of espresso black coffee.

Thick to bitter, bitter to tremble…

Only such black coffee can refresh him.

During this period, he thought about how to mention this matter to Li Wan, and it was a pity that…

He thought of 100 kinds of words, but he still did not impress Li Wan.

No matter what he said, Li Wan’s response was only one sentence: “If you trade Ron, then trade me too!” ”

In addition, Li Wan directly picked out the words:

“Man, you know, it was a tough decision, but Ron faced the media several times and publicly blamed Dwight for whom, and I can’t pretend that nothing happened…”

Seeing that Li Wan picked out all the words, Otis could only sigh.

“Man, wait for the news! ”

After that, he hung up the phone.

Li Wan listened to the busy tone on the phone and understood what Otis meant: either the news that Dwyane Howard was traded, or the news that he was traded.

The management of this team has always been able to “cut the mess quickly”!

Early the next morning.

The news that Artest and Howard almost fought in front of the media also made a lot of noise.

Fans had mixed opinions, with some thinking that Howard was indeed a bit unspeakable: “He himself should have known that when the ball was in his hand, the Magic always won more and lost less, but he still did it, Ron was upset with him, in my opinion, as it should be, and no one likes this kind of person who ruins the chemistry of the team!” ”

Others think Artest is confused: “He’s been with the team for less than a season, his name isn’t on last year’s championship list, and he’s not qualified to say that!” ”

Others think it’s the pot of management and the head coach: “They should be more sure who is the boss of this team, rather than letting Li Wan and Howard have their own skills, like these two young players who have reached the top level of the league, it is normal to have contradictions between each other, the key is management, anyway, in my opinion, the management of the Magic team is too bad!” ”

……

In these discussions, the finals of the 09~10 season have also officially arrived.

The eyes of the fans returned to the field.

This year’s Grand Final showdown list undoubtedly surprised most fans.

But it’s definitely the most anticipated set of showdowns.

If you want to know what “champion heart” is, then listen to their stories.

Boston Celtics, and the Dallas Mavericks…

Two groups of old guys who have endured hardships stand on the final stage of the season.

What kind of ending should be worthy of this bumpy journey.

No matter what the outcome is, there is always a group of old guys who will make their dreams come true!

Countless fans want to be witnesses…

So halfway through the finals, the number of viewers in the United States had reached 20 million.

Although not as good as last year, it is definitely at the top of so many Finals after Michael Jordan.

You have to ask, which ones have the lowest ratings?

Popovich laughed and said nothing.

The team that finished off was the home Mavericks.

After they rewrote the big score to 1-0, they smoothly rewrote most of it to 2-0.

However, the Dallas, who won 2-0, were even more nervous.

The experience of the ’06 Finals reminds them.

2-0, not an advantage.

Instead, it means that the game has just begun.

Sure enough, the Celtic “Big Three”, who returned to their home court, then launched a counterattack.

Successfully changed the big score to a 2-2 draw on his home turf.

The “Battle of Heavenly King Mountain” moved to Dallas. ——It was from this season that the format of the NBA Finals was changed from “2-3-2” to “2-2-1-1” like the first three rounds of the playoffs.

In terms of results, this format change saved the Mavericks.

To the cheers of the home fans, the Mavericks slowly regained their rhythm and ended the game with an open 3-pointer from Jason Terry.

101 to 95.

With a 6-point difference, the Mavericks survived and won the “Battle of Tianwang Mountain”.

With two match points in hand, they should have a psychological advantage.

But who would have thought that the Celtics, who were far behind, returned home and still played a strong side in the opening game, especially the pressing power on the defensive end, which was even more amazing, and they ended the first round 28-20.

As far as the experience of these three “old guys”, even if they are “2-3 behind, lose and go home”, their psychology will not be burdened at all.

Even if there is a burden, they have all turned into a steady stream of motivation.

They used this kind of motivation to play such defensive suppression.

The game continued for the rest of the day, and by 7:15 in the third quarter, the Mavericks were still trailing by nine points.

Nowitzki’s performance is getting sluggish.

Jason Terry saw that this guy softened again at the critical moment, and quickly shouted: “Damn, Dirk, have you forgotten 06?” ”

It is worthy of being an old partner for many years.

Although it was just such a sentence, he clearly knew that Novitsky’s g-spot was there.

“Nuo Tianwang” immediately broke out “small universe”, using “golden rooster independence” one by one, sticking out his tongue one by one for layups, slowly recovering the 9-point difference.

In the end, 88-83, a five-point difference, the Mavericks lifted the Dallas’ coveted O’Brien Cup at the home of the Celtics.

When the whistle sounds.

When the rebound turns red.

When the score freezes.

Nowitzki rushed towards the Mavericks guys at the first moment.

The group hugged each other and celebrated like crazy.

Jumping and jumping, the “German tank” had red eyes.

Along the way, the 20-year-old Nowitzki is now 32 years old.

From a young guy to a middle-aged uncle.

Dallas’ first title, Novitsky spent his entire youth.

OK……

The end result…

Live up to your youth too!

“MVP” from Dallas!

At the North Shore Gardens, there was a dead silence.

The Mavericks shouted furiously, celebrating their hard-earned crown.

The Celtic “Big Three” lowered their heads in unison.

It’s like that time three years ago.

But at that time, Paul Pierce could still calmly and confidently look at Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen: “Dude, we’ll do it again next year.” ”

This……

In this way, he could not say it.

He is 33, Kevin Garnett is 34 and Ray Allen is 35.

He may still have a bit of a peak tail, but these two old brothers…

Especially after the big injury, Kevin Garnett, even as a teammate, he can feel that this guy’s traverse speed has obviously slowed down a lot, which means that this injury has affected his physical condition.

Suffering such a serious injury at this age, I am afraid that the next year is not as good as a year.

He looked up above the North Shore Garden.

The famous jerseys fluttered slightly.

Paul Pierce is looking forward to being a part of it…

As the overall champion!

Knowing in the summer of ’07 that Kevin Garnett was coming with Ray Allen, he was sure he could win the championship.

Right now……

He didn’t know where to go.

The “Big Three” bowed their heads and left, but even the cameras that recorded their backs were few.

At this moment, all the magnesium lights shone on Novitsky’s hand in the center of the stadium.

When he held the “Bill Russell” cup high, David Stern next to him couldn’t help but smile brightly and nodded slightly.

One person, one city is the best interpretation…

The president of the alliance thinks you are very good!

The next day, stories about Nowitzki’s victory and his journey began to circulate on the streets.

The lingering “soft egg” hat on his head is no longer mentioned at the moment.

Nowitzki “consecrated gods” in the first battle!

Since then, there will be no “soft egg Nowitzki” in Dallas…

Please call him Novitsky “Heavenly King”!

Li Wan saw the photo of Novitsky on the newspaper headline, and a voice suddenly echoed in his mind: I call you, do you dare to agree?

Now he’s really done that.

At least in the 09~10 season, he can shout to the league with great confidence: Don’t get me wrong, I’m not targeting someone, I mean you’re all smelly brothers.

Not convinced?

Disobedient to see what his brother is holding in his hand?

O’Brien Cup!

Either Caesar or nothing……

This is sports competition!

Saying 10,000 “I tried my best” is not as good as a championship trophy in front of you.

Li Wan didn’t pay attention to the finals, during which time he went out with Taylor Swift for half a month, and only then returned to Orlando.

During this time, he basically knew about Otis’s progress from Taryn’s side.

The latter initially called him almost once a day to report what Otis had told him.

Calls gradually became fewer.

It’s not that Taryn is lazy, it’s that Otis is calling him less.

What this reaction means is self-evident.

Otis should have gradually made a choice!

As for which to choose…

His attitude speaks for itself.

Even if it is not certain to trade Li Wan, Li Wan is definitely in the candidate lineup.

Li Wan didn’t think much about it, if he was really traded, there was no way.

He is a rookie and has no way to control his own destiny.

However, the rookie contract still has the last year, no matter where the next stop is, when the second contract is over, he will no longer have to be so subject to others, and he will have no initiative at all.

So Otis didn’t say, and he didn’t ask.

Set your sights on the upcoming 2010 draft!

This year’s “champion signing” is still the same as the original, belonging to the Wizards.

This is another “champion signature” since they have been in ’01.

Given that the “champion” they selected in the draft last time was Kwame Brown, even with the “top pick” in hand, the Wizards management is not very excited.

This is the first step in the long march.

You have to use this draft pick to get a real “champion” to give them real peace of mind.

The good news is…

They didn’t have Michael Jordan in this draft.

In addition, this year’s “champion” candidates are actually quite clear.

John Wall of the University of Kentucky is the best choice in this year’s draft.

It is called the “enhanced version of Ross”.

Just this nickname alone is enough to see how strong this person’s talent really is!

So the Wizards also chose him without hesitation.

With Arenas in the team …

But no way, all injuries and illnesses are reimbursed for two seasons, don’t say that he is “Agent 0”, even if he is “Superman”, the devil knows how much ability he has left at the beginning of the new season?

Moreover, John Wall’s talent is here, don’t choose him to have a brain problem!

Therefore……

Take it, John Wall!

The second pick, the 76ers took junior Evan Turner.

Generally, the “older rookie” with high picks is talking about an instant combat power.

Turner is a prime example of this.

In three years of college, I won all the heavyweight awards and achieved the “grand slam” of the NCAA awards. Although he is not the only one who has done this, there is not much he can do.

Anyway, Li Ning is very optimistic about him, and he sent an endorsement contract shortly after the draft.

It’s a pity that the 10-year draft conference has not escaped the curse of the “top list” must be water.

Evan Turner became the one who dropped the water.

Of course, if anything, it’s not particularly watery, averaging 17.4 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game in the fourth year of his career, and shooting 45.2% from the field per game.

It’s just that Philadelphia 76ers general manager Sam Hinkey is crazy to swing, and the “raising” training method has made the 76ers a rookie grave in recent years.

During this time, 76 people will not be able to survive it!

Evan Turner was no exception, having left the 76ers and becoming a very good wing defender.

The third-pick Nets and fourth-pick Timberwolves drafted Derek Feifers and Wesley Johnson, and these two selections are normal for the two general managers.

If you only look at the top four picks, the quality of 2010 is really not as good as the previous three.

The top four in the ’09 draft were Griffin, James Harden, and that doesn’t count Evans;

The Class of ’08 had Derek Ross and Westbrook;

Not to mention 07, counting the original ruined by injury, but this emergency avoidance did a good Auden, the top four did not fall water!

But the 2010 draft still deserves the title of “draft year”.

Because from the fifth pick of the first round, a number of familiar names emerged:

Fifth pick in the first round: Cousins at the top of the league below the neck;

Ninth pick: Gordon Hayward;

10th pick: “Essence of the Human Background” Paul George;

……

The rest, like Monroe, Bradley, etc., are also candidates for this draft.

The quality of the second wheel is also very good:

“Stadium artist” Stephenson, “Big White Edge” who annoys “King B” Larry Bird… It is the “second round show” of this draft.

What’s more, there are also treasures in this session’s “Pearl of the Sea”.

The future “Lin Madness” is also the draft that he participated in this year.

In short, there are many talents.

Unfortunately, now Li Wan does not know which of these people will be his teammates in the new season.

However, the end of the draft means that the free trade market is just around the corner. Immediately he knew what Otis’s final choice was.

Otis was completely busy.

Since confirming Li Wan’s intentions, Otis has officially begun to accept offers from other teams.

Originally, he planned to trade Dwight Howard.

After all, Li Wan was the FMVP of last season’s Finals, and in terms of credit, the Magic team is the biggest.

And when the ball is in Howard’s hands, the team loses, the ball goes to Li Wan’s hands, the team wins, and fools know who has more influence on this team.

But I don’t know how this matter was known by the boss Richie DeVos, and he called directly and said angrily: “Dwight was cultivated by us, you traded him because of the foreign Li Wan, will there be any rookies willing to work for us in the future?” ”

Go out and inquire, who has cultivated their own new stars, and finally squeezed out by outsiders!

Does this “corporate culture” still exist?

Otis actually knew that Richie DeVos simply disliked Li Wan, a “talk-up employee.”

But he’s right…

Howard was a child they raised and grew up in Orlando.

Because Li Wan, sending his own children out, this does affect the image of the team to some extent.

So he simply put Li Wan on the shelf.

It was also from this time that he broke off contact with Li Wan.

After listening to a number of quotes.

Otis suddenly discovered… He is becoming more and more resolute about trading Li Wan.

Cause……

It’s really hard to put Howard out and trade for an interior player of the same quality.

The rising star, there is only one Oden, who asked the opinion of the general manager of the Blazers, and when the other party heard that “Howard” was exchanged for “enhanced Howard”, he directly dialed the phone.

Call again, I can’t get through.

“Small” does not work …

“Old” …

“Shark” is completely wasted in this year’s playoffs, Li Wan led the Magic team to perform in front of the world, how to “catch sharks”;

“Baby Shark” …

There is no need to talk about the dishes.

Then there is only one Yao Ming left.

Call the white-skinned pigs of Team Rockets.

As a result, the other party also hung up the phone directly.

What Otis doesn’t know is that the Rockets are now at a sensitive time.

Yao Ming has not announced the fifth year of the execution of the contract.

The white-skinned pig knew very well that Yao Ming was putting pressure on him to see what he would do this summer before deciding what to do.

Well……

Last summer, the Rockets really didn’t put it on a good page.

Light release.

Not to mention the introduction of heavy bombshells, not even a little reinforcement.

No matter how honest Yao Ming is, it is normal to lose his temper.

He believed that when the gas subsided, Yao Ming would execute the contract.

are all “old husbands and wives”, and the white-skinned pig feels that he has this tacit understanding with Yao Ming.

But at this time, if there is a rumor of trading Yao Ming, it is purely blocking Yao Ming and adding instability to this tacit understanding.

So, as soon as he heard Otis say this, he twitched like an electric shock and immediately hung up the phone.

Yao Ming’s option is gone…

After going around in circle, Otis suddenly found that ESPN was not wrong, and this was an era of “center withering”.

If other teams have a Howard, they are afraid that it is too late to hide, how can they push it outside?

He remembered what ESPN had to say about it:

Stupid!

He……

Not stupid!

And look at the outside, almost every team has good outside newcomers…

Scarce is expensive!

Can Otis not understand this truth?

He immediately firmed up the idea of trading Li Wan.

After making up his mind, he completely broke off contact with Taryn.

Decide who to trade, and the next thing becomes simple.

Just find the best offer…

The news came out that the Magic wanted to trade Li Wan.

The general managers of all walks of life heard the wind.

Kupchek was the first to make an offer.

But his offer is completely amusing fools.

Ariza, Odom, Nelson Jr. and Bynum…

This is to take the sword of the previous dynasty and behead the official of the current dynasty?

But if this guy gives Otis a little respect, he will definitely return the word “roll”.

Now, Otis had the option to hang up the phone directly.

Then there’s Cavaliers general manager Griffin.

His offer was outraging: except for LeBron, whatever!

Otis’s reply was also painful: must LeBron, other things are not to talk.

Without speculating for more than half a sentence, the two quickly hung up the phone together.

Meantime……

Otis: “Huh, let you form Livanga LeBron?” So I won’t be scolded to death by the boss? ”

Griffin: “Huh~ let you form LeBron and Howard?” So I won’t be scolded to death by the boss? ”

Then there’s the general manager of the Raptors, the general manager of the Clippers.

As more and more calls came in, the offer was finally less outrageous.

Record it patiently.

Feeling almost the same, another call came in.

Pick it up, it’s Donnie Walsh.

“Good brother, I gave you Crawford for nothing, this love, we brothers should also nag, right? You said, when you wanted Crawford, did I not say a word, and I gave it to you soon? ”

……

July 1.

The much-anticipated NBA free trading market has begun.

The show is staged.

The first play showed all the viewers the extraordinary year of the summer of 2010!

Chris Bosh, the “Northern Dragon King” who jumped out of the contract, finally couldn’t stand the cold and went to warm Miami.

ESPN immediately connected Wade with Chris Bosh.

The two had big smiles on their faces.

Bosh is excited to have Wade.

Wade is happy that the old man is finally willing to “divorce”.

He was trying to invite LeBron James to Miami, but the latter never called him back. It seems that I don’t remember the agreement back then.

That’s fine, it’s enough for me and Chris anyway!

The eyes of “The Flash” are full of desire to fight.

He wanted to give Pat Riley a nine.

He is worthy of his favorite old man.

Sure enough, I didn’t break my word.

Miami will be back at the Union Center!

Unbeknownst to Wade, Pat Riley picked up the microphone in the corner of the table and dialed a certain phone.

As you can see from his proficiency in rummaging through the call back, he hasn’t been making this call lately.

It’s just that I haven’t been able to get through before…

This……

He believed it could!

“Hey…”

Really!

The phone rang three times, and a voice came from the other end.

“LeBron, I think, now, I have enough sincerity to impress you! ”

Well……

Yes!

The first call Pat Riley made was the phone of LeBron’s team.

The “Big Three of the 03 generation” is his ambition this summer.

So from the beginning, he did not go to Li Wan and concentrated on seducing Chris Bosh.

This young man in the north is really weak-willed, has never seen the world, and when he hears that Miami is full of hot sunshine all year round, he can’t wait to nod and agree.

With Chris Bosh, and the original Wade, he doesn’t believe that such a lineup can’t hook the “little emperor”.

But what he didn’t expect was…

LeBron James still wants to think about it.

And hung up directly.

For the first time, the “God operator” miscalculated people’s hearts.

What he didn’t know was…

LeBron James is waiting for another man’s reply.

That person was Cavaliers general manager Griffin. The latter promised him that he would bring him either Li Wan or Howard.

If he can get one of them, then he naturally doesn’t have to leave the Knights.

Moreover, this is not the same as when he went to the Magic, this is Li Wan or Howard coming to the Cavaliers, and there is no “throwing in the enemy”.

Only after the Cavaliers can’t get a player of the level of Lee Wan or Howard will he go down the hardest path.

With your good brothers, go play brother basketball.

However, just as he was waiting for Griffin’s call with anticipation and anxiety, the alliance made a second big deal at this time.

This time it’s a little bigger.

Three-way trade from the New York Knicks, Nets and Magic:

The Magic sent Liwan, Artest, Lewis and Jason Williams to the top, and got Vince Carter from the Nets, as well as the Nets’ 11-year, two-round pick and the Knicks’ Gallinari. ”

The Nets sent Vince Carter to the New York Knicks’ Wilson Chandler, Jordan Hill and David Lee. ”

The New York Knicks were added to the Magic team like Leewan, Artest and Lewis. ”

……

When the news broke.

Li Wan received four phone calls.

One is Otis’s farewell call, which is some decent words, wishing Jun a bright future or something;

Then there was Tyron’s call, who mainly came to inform Li Wan of the news of the transaction, and then asked Li Wan “When will I leave for New York?” ”

After getting the answer, he also immediately went to get busy.

Then came Taylor’s call: “Lee, are you going to New York?” Fantastic, then we can stay together again in the future! Taylor’s headquarters is in New York, but she prefers to stay in Los Angeles.

After all, compared to New York, Los Angeles is a little more humanistic.

But now, since Li Wan went to New York, she had nothing to say, and naturally had to go back to New York.

Well……

I’m definitely not going to New York because there are so many bitches in New York, I have to watch a little, I just…

It’s purely close to the head office.

Head Office: After signing for three or four years, now remember to be close to the company?

Scold~

Woman!

The last call…

When Li Wan heard his phone ringing, he thought it was Howard, but he didn’t expect it to be the president of the Knicks: Donnie Walsh!

“Hey man, welcome to the New York Knicks, I promise you that the new Knicks will build a team with you as the absolute core, and if you have any partner you want to partner with, you can tell me, and we will work hard…”

We in New York, nothing else, is more money!

This is what Li Wan heard from Donnie Walsh’s words.

He thought it was a good choice to go to New York.

Although the boss is a fool, in fact, Donnie Walsh did a good job after taking office, and in the first year of signing Junior, the New York Knicks were back on track, but then the arrival of Cameron Anthony, coupled with injuries, caused everything to go in an uncontrollable direction.

He was gone.

But that was all for later.

The current New York Knicks can be said to be “in ruins” and are lacking a master.

In fact, Li Wan himself also considered which city he should go to if he was allowed to choose by himself.

Thinking about it, he felt that, most importantly, there were no symbolic players in this team. ——He was really annoyed that robbing the boss happened again.

So like what Los Angeles, the Cavaliers, the Heat …

None of it was within his expectations.

Because there, there were already people before.

The Knicks were originally where he was looking forward to going.

Not to mention the big city, it has been rotten for so many years, waiting for someone to save them.

The only problem is that the boss has more than the management.

Now Donnie Walsh called him at the first time, giving him an absolute status, which made Li Wan feel a lot more at ease.

At least during the reign of Donnie Walsh, his absolute centrality to this team, and the ability to do whatever he wants, will not be shaken.

That’ll do…

It’s time to start the “era of Li Wan”!

For this point, Li Wan is also very confident.

Maddie has been reimbursed for injuries this season, so the Knicks have not become the “big deal”.

That is to say, the Knicks’ salary space is healthy this summer.

Even if you eat Lewis’s big contract, there is no pressure at all.

You can even eat another big contract.

With Artest also following the trade…

Although Li Wan has not yet looked through the Knicks’ roster, one thing is clear…

The Knicks will have in the new season: Li Wanga Artest plus Lewis plus a certain player with a ten-million-dollar annual salary plus a certain player lineup!

What else is there to say about this!

The Knicks championship can be shouted!

Well……

was traded by the Magic team, and now Li Wan has obtained a new “face punching mission”.

The matter of winning the championship has become urgent again.

He hung up the phone with Walsh, who was loyal here, and the latter immediately sent the list of recruits to Li Wan.

The whole attitude, that’s called a…

Flattering.

Looking at the list of these people …

Li Wan’s gaze fell on a certain figure, and he never looked away again.

This……

Can it work?

But he decided to give it a try.

Putting the list down, Li Wan saw Howard’s text message, yes, there was no call, just a blessing text message.

Li Wan was not surprised.

Since the “Warcraft” remained, it should know why Li Wan left.

At this time, it was already something that Li Wan did not expect.

Because, from now on, one of them has to prove that “the Magic team is right to keep me”, and the other has to prove that “the Magic team gave up on me is wrong!” ”

This deal caused a lot of movement in the outside world…

In less than two hours, a large group of Orlantons gathered outside Amway Arena, all of whom came to protest Otis’s deal.

Orlando “OK” Combination Dream Shattered…

For them, there is nothing more heart-wrenching.

In their opinion, this pair, should have brought Orlando … Not 1 seater, not 2 seater, not 3-seater 4-seater 5-seater, but 6-seater O’Brien Cup!

Now, just take one, and it stops abruptly?

They don’t want to believe it all.

It’s just that their protests don’t affect Otis’ continued trading.

What he wants to build for the new season is naturally Orlando’s new version of the “OK” combination.

He believed that Vince Carter and Gallinari’s outside firepower was enough to fill the shooter group fire on the outside.

This, coupled with the departure of Lewis and Artest, eased their salary space, which allowed him to effortlessly sign Felton, who performed well with the Bobcats last year, with 2-year 15.8 million.

As the fifth pick in the first round of ’05, DeLong Williams and Chris Paul were the first point guard in the ’05 draft. Felton averaged 12.1 points and 5.6 assists last season.

He is good at breaking through with the ball.

His arrival can supplement the No. 1 breakthrough ability that the Magic team lacked due to Li Wan’s departure.

After signing this contract, the Magic’s starting lineup became: No. 1 Felton, No. 2 Vince Carter, No. 3 Michael Pitrus, No. 4 Galinas, No. 5 Howard;

In fact, Gallinari is the No. 3 player, but he is 2.08 meters tall.

It can fully cope with the general number four.

The biggest advantage of this lineup is mobility.

Otis then only needs to replenish some meat shields, and when someone needs to stand up and resist, he will go up.

The prototype of the Magic’s roster for the new season is out.

In his opinion, it is still a championship-level competitiveness.

Like Orlando fans, there are Lakers fans.

They protested outside the Toyota Arena:

“Kupchek get out of class, Li Wan was traded by the Magic, such a good opportunity! You actually missed it! ”

“I see that the chips of the New York Knicks are just like that, aren’t the chips of the Lakers better than theirs? ”

“Kupchek is so old, it’s really time to leave class, and if he goes on like this, he is delaying the future of the Lakers, you know? ”

……

In their opinion, this should have been the best opportunity to let Li Wan, a “wanderer”, go home.

Kupchek didn’t even seize such a good opportunity!

What are you doing in the general manager’s position?

Get out of here!

Kupchek took these protests to the fore.

There was no movement other than a wry smile.

What can he do?

He later handed over another quotation.

Except for Pau Gasol and Kobe, the others he chose at Otis.

Even later, he added Paulo Gasol. But people just don’t want it, what can he do?

What he didn’t know was that Otis was almost moved.

Think of Orlando’s feud with Los Angeles…

If he sends Li Wan to the Lakers, just the current Kobe plus Li Wan, even if there is no Paul Gasol and the like, I am afraid that they can beat the opponent alone in one round, right?

If Li Wan had won the championship in his first year back with the Lakers, he would have been scolded to death by Orlando fans.

For Orlando, the most unacceptable thing is that the Lakers traded with the Magic to complete the championship!

In contrast, the Knicks are less dangerous.

Except for Li Wan, there are no representative players who can get their hands at all.

Within one or two seasons, it should be difficult to rise!

It just happens to be able to return favors.

Crawford was given away for nothing. — Otis also didn’t think Bogans’ two additions could be traded for Crawford, who was averaging 20 points per game at the time. When people gave it at that time, they said, “Rush the friendship between the two of us…”

Jianghu is like this, people have to have contacts.

The opportunity is right now, and the price of the Knicks is not low, and it can even be said to be the best few, which just meets the Nets’ requirements for wanting to be young and powerful. ——Don’t ask why the Nets don’t directly ask Li Wan, but choose the rookies of the New York Knicks, when you hear the name Billy King, you should know that it is too normal for the Nets to do this!

Mention this buddy’s brilliant record: group the “Nets Big Four” and give Angie the 2014 first-round pick, 2016 first-round pick, 2018 first-round pick and 2017 first-round pick. Helped the Celtics draft Jaylen Brown and Tatum.

What else can you say?

Good!

Great good man!

It’s no exaggeration to say that he is the second best general manager in Celtic history…

The kind that got to give him a retired jersey…

This time it was the same, Otis and Walsh gave him separate calls: “I heard you’re peddling Vince Carter?” Send you a few potential stocks do you want? There’s David Lee averaging 20 plus per game? ”

At that time, Billy King clapped directly: This still requires hesitation? Brothers, get rich together and get started!

While the Orlando fans and the Los Angeles fans were protesting angrily, Li Wan dialed the familiar phone, the phone was connected, he heard the movement of the other end, and smiled:

“Brother Yao, do you still fight Warcraft? Tyson Chandler has won the championship, how can you become the first in the league! ”
