Vol 3 Chapter 92: Trading deadline arrives

? On the third day after the end of the All-Star Game, the 76ers resumed training.

Anxi drove to the underground garage of the training hall, greeted Jack Lauder, who had also just arrived, and walked into the locker room.

The locker room was very deserted. There were not many people. Anxi was surprised and didn't care. He sat in front of his cabinet and silently changed into training clothes.

After a while, the teammates arrived.

However, Anxi frowned. Training time was approaching, but the team was missing a few people. At this time, he thought that today is also the trade deadline, and all trades must be completed before today.

Samsinki unexpectedly appeared in the locker room and called Anxi.

Anxi followed Samsinki out of the locker room, and the intelligent Anxi already understood something.

As he walked, he said, "Ann, tomorrow is the trade deadline. I made two more trades. Let me tell you.

An Xi nodded.

"A deal is Evan Turner's deal."

Turner was traded, Anxi had guessed it, because he didn't see Turner in the locker room.

Anxi sighed, but after thinking about it, maybe being traded is a good thing for Evan Turner. Turner is in good shape this season, but because of the existence of Anxi and McAway, Turner had to go. After being off the bench, playing time has declined to a certain extent. This time he was traded, and Evan Turner may be able to get a chance to show himself.

Samsinki continued: "Evan was sent to the Rockets, and we also got Elliott Williams from the Rockets. We got Omir Asik and Troy Daniels, and there is also a first for next year. Round of picks."

Anxi nodded and said that he understood that Turner was sent to the Rockets, and the subject of this transaction was basically Evan Turner’s exchange for Omir Asik and a first-round pick for next year, but based on the Rockets’ current record , This first round draft pick should be a draft pick at the end of the first round.

Overall, the 76ers got Asik, an above-standard starting center, and the trade is not a loss.

The two walked outside of Samsinki's office, and then they talked about another transaction: "What about another transaction?"

"Tony Roten, he was sent away."

"Tony? Didn't he play well?" Anxi was still a little puzzled when Tony Roten was sent away. Except for his unqualified defensive performance, Tony Roten's offensive performance was still very good and he was able to make a sudden shot. , Very suitable to partner with Anxi.

"This deal was requested by Brett. Tony Roten's defense was too poor. Brett asked to send him away and build a better point guard rotation."

"Who did it get?"

"No one exchanged it, only got a first-round pick for next year."

"Next year's first-round pick..." Anxi frowned, but then he thought about the Knicks' current record outside the Eastern Conference playoffs. Tony Roten was traded to make up for the vacancy of the point guard position. This season, the Knicks have played poorly in controlling Raymond Felton, and Mike Woodson believes that the vacancy in master control is the main reason for the team's poor performance.

As a result, in the 76ers as a substitute, Tony Roten, who has repeatedly performed well, became the Knicks' signing target.

But Samsinki’s idea is very simple. Although the Knicks’ goal is still the playoffs, judging from the Knicks’ current rankings, the probability of not making the playoffs in the end is also very high. Therefore, the 76ers get That draft pick is either a draft pick in the middle of the first round or a draft pick in the lottery area. In any case, the deal is not a loss.

If it becomes a draft pick in the lottery, it will still be profitable.

Anxi probably understands the two trades. They are both non-profit and no-loss trades. Only two players were obtained. The arrival of Omer Asik further strengthened the team's inside line. Cole Aldridge can return to the bench. Once seated, Asik will be a better starting center.

As for Troy Daniels, Anxi doesn't know much about it, but according to Sam Sinki, Troy Daniels is a good outside three-point shooter, and he has completed the task that Anxi gave Xinki.

An inside gate, and an outside three-point shooter.

After not two trades, the 76ers have only 13 players left on the roster. Obviously, they still have to sign in the future, either with a draft pick or signing a free agent from the free market.

We chatted in the office for a while, and the team's training began.

When the teammates were still wondering why three players were suddenly missing, Brett Brown came out and clapped his hands: "Well, don't look around. Evan, Elliott and Tony have all been traded. They have already rushed to their new team. Our training today is very simple. We will play against each other in groups."

The arena was quiet for a while, and several players showed a look of surprise. After a while, Brett Brown began to arrange the groups for the match.

"Michael, your injury is still not healed. Go to the other side to train yourself."

Brett Brown drove away the injured McAway, the remaining players were exactly ten people, 5v5 formed.

The main team Anxi guest point guard, Jack Lauder starting shooting guard, small forward Francisco Garcia, power forward Pau Gasol and center Cole Aldridge.

On the bench, Sean Livingston point guard, shooting guard James Anderson, small forward Hollis Thompson, power forward Byron Mullens, center Henry Sims.

The match will officially begin.

The purpose of the confrontation is very simple, one is to maintain the state, and the other is to practice tactics.

With the arrival of Pau Gasol, the 76ers' tactics have also changed. Brett Brown has increased the number of times Gasol takes the ball in the middle distance. With the help of Pau Gasol's mid-range threat, he can attack or hold the ball himself. attack.

Anxi also needs to integrate into this new system. Therefore, although the opponents in the confrontation are weak and not a grade opponent, the main team is still playing very hard because they need more running-in.

Waiting for Omir Asik to join in a few days, the team's defensive system also needs a new round of running-in.

On the trading deadline, the 76ers were conducting their training games, and relevant NBA practitioners were busy, especially the media reporters.

The 76ers first officially announced two deals, and after acquiring Pau Gasol, they announced that they would send away Evan Turner and Elliott Williams, and get Omi from the Rockets who had no playing time because of the arrival of Dwight Howard. Al Asik and Troy Daniels, who has no record so far, plus a first-round pick for next year.

Evan Turner was traded, and the relevant reporters began to analyze the deal. In their opinion, the 76ers made a profit.

Because of Anxi, Evan Turner has been reduced to the sixth man. Although he performed well, he was only a substitute and had little impact on the 76ers. The exchange of Asik can fill the vacancy of the 76ers, and Paul adds Sol forms the European Twin Towers.

The 76ers' current starting center, Cole Aldridge, played only mediocre, with good rebounds, but the 76ers needed the most protection for the frame. The newcomer Asik is a good center forward, and the offensive outside screen is also a certain threat.

Reporters generally spoke highly of this deal. For example, ESPN’s Mark Stern believes that after this deal, the 76ers will jump directly to the top team in the East, on the same level as the Pacers and the Heat. How far you go depends on Anxi's personal performance.

As for the second transaction, sending Tony Roten away to get a future first-round pick, North American reporters are clearly divided into two factions.

One group believes that the 76ers have made money from this trade, and it is still Mark Stein. He believes that Tony Roten is a poorly defensive combo guard with little training value, especially when the 76ers have Micah. In the case of Granville, a deal to send Tony Roten and get a draft pick at least in the middle of the first round of next year, this deal is definitely a profit.

And William Hunter, a new columnist for Sports Illustrated with different opinions, believes that Tony Roten is a very good attacker. If Tony Roten is sent away, the 76ers will regret it one day.

The opinions of the two factions are completely different, mainly because Tony Roten is relatively young, there is still a lot of room for development in the future, and everything is possible.

In addition to the two deals for the 76ers, other teams have also completed several deals and reinforcements.

The Wizards officially announced that the team has acquired old point guard Andre Miller and sent Veselli to the Nuggets.

The Heat announced that with Luke Richard Barmott and Roger Mason and a future second-round pick to acquire Courtney Lee from the Celtics, the goal is obvious in exchange for a new capable 3D player. Aimed at Anxi and Paul George.

In addition ~www.novelmtl.com~ According to the Rockets' official website, the Rockets have reached a deal with the Nuggets, and Aaron Brooks and Jordan Hamilton have swapped owners.

For this deal, Yahoo Woshen said that the Rockets got the athletic wing players they always wanted, and the Nuggets got a strong backup point guard. As for the Nuggets, if Ty Lawson can’t play due to injury, coupled with Nate Robinson’s season reimbursement and Andre Miller’s trade, Brooks will most likely be the Nuggets’ starting point guard. .

The Charlotte Bobcats officially announced that the team has acquired guards Gary Neal and Luke Ridnour through trades, and their chips are Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrian.

The Spurs official website announced that the team has reached a deal with the Raptors and traded Nando De Kolo for the Raptors forward Austin Daye.

At the time when the entire NBA was full of hustle and bustle, Samsinki was still making his final efforts. There were only 13 people left on the roster. It is a must to recruit new players. Therefore, Samsinki contacted continuously. The general managers of several teams hope to exchange their second-round picks for some good players.

In addition, Samsinki will also look overseas, hoping to get some good free agents through signing. (To be continued.)
