Chapter 339 Trading Blitz
Most of the time, the NBA transfer battle breaks out in the middle stage. After all, it takes time to test and seduce in the early stage, and the agent, the team manager, including the players themselves, are also in the wait-and-see period.
Only when these conditions are satisfied by all parties, will those big fish who test the water, or managers who want to adjust the structure of the team, will start. They don't want much movement, but they want to win with one blow and get what they want.
After all, there are still a few teams like the New York Knicks who talk when they have nothing to do. Every time these New Yorkers enter the market, James, Anthony, Iverson, they want big names.
But in the end, there are really few people who are absolutely big names who have been selected by New York. As long as they are a little pursueable guys, they usually don't go to James Dolan's men to make a living. That's really fooling around.
It is also a kind of ability to pay a lot of luxury taxes and then create a team.
Generally, the transfer market will have a wave of ** before the start of the preseason, and many transactions involve big names.
Or the kind of big deal in which several teams are involved will generally start at the last minute and then be quickly settled. Maybe only when these guys can't retreat can everyone make up their minds.
Maybe there is nothing to choose after weighing again and again, or maybe they are all waiting for the other party to make mistakes.
The transfer market is like a battlefield. You always have to calculate the bottom line of your opponent, and then you have to think about bargaining skills. You not only have to learn to compete with others, but also have to play some business games with the player's agent.
I can only say that if you want to be a qualified team manager, you have to learn too much, and this position is not easy.
This is a big year of draft, and it is also a trading year that many people like to predict. Too many big fish are ready to test the water. No matter how much news is true, but those potential trading possibilities alone make people excited from the bottom of their hearts. This summer's transfer market can really be regarded as a big war. It is.
The curtain on the other side of the draft has just fallen, and the faces of many rookies have not been familiarized by people. As a result, the smoke of the draft has not yet dissipated. No one thought that the big wave of trading in the transfer market would suddenly kill people's eyes.
And in a stunned way, on the first day of the opening of the transfer market, many people who were still watching were stunned, because this huge wave-like trading frenzy came directly to face!
Originally, no one thought that July 31st would be an extraordinary day. After all, the transfer market has just opened. Normally, many transactions will start to try to release news, and then they are busy with team contracts.
Generally, it is difficult to produce any big transactions at this time. Even if someone wants to test the water, they will not choose this time. Real big brands have always been high-end products waiting for the price, and they have to be reserved.
But the first call Murphy received surprised the old reporter who had been with the Celtics for nearly 20 years. Even the colleagues in an office had never seen this guy so excited.
"What? Are you sure this is accurate news? Is what you said true? Oh! God, this is crazy! How did that guy do it? He is simply hiding it from everyone! I can guarantee that the managers of at least a dozen teams now want to kill Angie by themselves, haha.
Murphy knew that the Celtics would have a lot of trading moves this season, but even he didn't expect that after almost two months of work, Angie played such a rather fierce and beautiful big hand as soon as he came up.
The Celtics are not only fierce on the court, but also a little ferocious in this deal! Start, fast, fierce, accurate,! And the habit of these guys behind their backs is really terrible!
How many team managers are waiting to take advantage of the Seattle Supersonics. As a result, Angie snatched a piece of meat from a group of green-eyed wolves, and it was the fattest one.
In fact, not only is Murphy a little shocked. In fact, no one can think that such a big deal will be revealed in less than an hour after the opening of the transfer market. It is said that it is a trading year, but it is too big!
Many teams are still watching at this time, but the Celtics have already robbed people. With that fierce posture, they don't plan to discuss anything with anyone at all. As long as they are sure, they don't plan to delay anything.
Angie doesn't expect to delay the trading process, which can lower the price of Supersonic.
This is not a football transfer. Relying on procrastination can solve many problems. If Angie really dares to wait, he believes that the team that is going to take action behind is not only the Celtics, but Boston's side did it earlier.
Angie has been running around for two months, and there is no reason to be slower than others. What's more, this guy's seductive is in place.
The target of the Celtics this time is definitely a big fish, otherwise it would not have caused such a sensation.
Unlike last season, I don't know how many people are thinking about the absolute trump card playing in Seattle, but now they can only watch the Celtics' small moves and take a step ahead.
Glen Davis and Ray Allen packaged the deal to the Celtics, while Boston only paid for the newly selected rookie Jeff Green and Szebiak, who has a 10 million contract, tied up West.
When many people see the news of the conclusion of this deal in the newspapers, I'm afraid the fans are surprised, but for other team managers, this is not a deal! It's an unequal treaty that makes people cry! This is really your sister's. Have you made such a strange transaction?
That's Ray Allen!!! A big name who has been selected as an All-Star seven times! And that guy is definitely not the kind of old man who can't eat! Last season, this guy averaged 26.5 points per game!
Ignoring Glen Davis, Ray Allen's exchange for the three Celtics is already a losing business! This... Damn it, will the supersonic team release water again?
There is no reason! Anyway, a Ray Allen won't get a second-rate rookie like Szebiak, who has no combat effectiveness at all. In addition, he doesn't know what the level is. What? West? The guy who is so crowded by Rdo that he can't even keep the main position, how much value do you think he can have?
Those roaring team managers really want to ask those guys who contact Supersonic, what's going on with him! Why can those Bostonians handle such a rare deal so easily?
Why don't we pick this cheap! Instead, let those Boston's animals get it! Especially for the Cavaliers, the finals made them eager to catch one or two big fish.
The result is now. As soon as the market opened, Ray Allen, who had been staring at it for a long time, slipped away from the eyes! Can this mother be fooled around? The chips given by the Cavaliers are not low!
Especially when they saw that the Celtics understated the deal, it was simply to make the Cavaliers spit blood and get hurt. When they first came into contact, they sent Larry Hughes out!
The guy who had been seeking to be the boss in the Cavaliers' performance in this finals was a mess, which completely pissed off the little emperor. Although there was no trouble, it was obvious that the situation was put in front of the team's owner Gilbert. If he wanted to keep the little emperor, Hughes could only get out immediately. Eggs.
And the guy's poor performance in the finals also makes Gilbert not want to continue to pay him those high salaries. If Hughes can be exchanged for a big name like Ray Allen, why not?
But after receiving the transaction request, the supersonic team did not say that it was okay, but it still didn't work. As a result, the Cavaliers here still thought about how to add chips. They have already reached a deal!
The most important thing is such an equal deal. The manager of the Cavaliers almost didn't call his colleagues in Seattle to ask if you had an affair with Angie! This water release is too obvious!
How do you think Larry Hughes is not worse than Szebiac? Even if you want a rookie, our Cavaliers can take it out! And the add-ons in the transaction will at least not be inferior to West!
But why did you guys choose the Celtics? And he also made such a seemingly loss-making deal. Unless Green can become the backbone of the team, this is a wrong investment!
Many people are considering whether Schultz was ready to go crazy before selling the team, otherwise such a deal will be reached, and the Celtics will take a big advantage! Is this still an equivalent transaction?
Angie didn't respond to the envy, jealousy and hatred of others. She couldn't see the indignation of the Cavaliers, but he knew very well that the Supersonics didn't want your Hughes. The reason was very simple.
A guy who is still jealous of the little emperor when he has nothing to do in the Cavaliers. Can he willingly continue to be the second child at supersonic? And is it still green for Durant, a rookie who has just entered the league?
If that guy really has this kind of awareness, he won't be able to stay with the Cavaliers. The Supersonic team doesn't care whether it is to move this season or next season. The core designation of the reconstruction is Durant.
It can't be the kind of scraps that your Cavaliers don't want. Hughes has a certain level, but this guy's personality and playing style are obviously not suitable for being the boss. Bet on him? That's really crazy!
Therefore, no matter who the trading role will be matched with Hughes, the supersonic side will not recognize it.
In fact, in addition to the Cavaliers, there are still many people coveting the ownership of Ray Allen. After all, such a guy who can suddenly invest is really worthy of others' attention. If he can get it, he will definitely make a steady profit.
Compared with those who invest in rookie's salary, it's better to accumulate it for Ray Allen. At least, this guy's scoring efficiency is far more reliable than those novices, and his playoff experience is also quite rich.
Like the Heat, the Pistons, the Rockets, and the Lakers, they are all trying to recruit the good scorer. As for the role of the New York Knicks who mess around when they have nothing to do, they have not given up on attracting Ray Allen.
Especially the New York Knicks, whose salary is nearly 100 million US dollars, really claim that they don't care about luxury taxes. Even if they spend money, they have to smash Ray Allen. They even prepared a big contract and are ready to throw the bag to Supersonic.
Don't you want to rebuild it? Then I'll give you a salary space contract. As long as you can give me Ray Allen, everything else will be said, but New York's boldness has not been exchanged for Ray Allen's favor.
Your sister, Ray Allen really wants to tell those guys in New York that at least my brother is not old enough to live on a salary. Is it okay for me to run to your New York to twirl in troubled waters? Should I grab the championship ring?
As for the Celtics' ability to handle this deal, in addition to Angie's long talk with the other's agent, what's more is that they can make Ray Allen move himself and let the other side see the hope of winning the championship.
Anyway, Ray Allen has been in the NBA for so long. He has won the three-pointer, seven-time All-Star, a veritable scoring master, and if there is no major injury impact, he is likely to break the three-point record.
If it goes on like this, the only thing that can move Ray Allen is the championship ring. The Cavaliers may be able to reach the finals again, but for the "gentleman's sword", the Celtics may be more mature.
It's not the age structure, or the ability of the players. Just the fierceness shown by these guys in the playoffs is enough to make this old man who is eager for honor.
And Pierce took the initiative to call. Angie has been seducing him to defect with emotion and reason since last season. If there is still hope for Supersonic, Ray Allen may not leave, but now the turbulence of the team can be understood by individuals. Do you still want to stick to it here? Do you leave when you can't fight?
Ray Allen believes that he is a quite professional player, so he is not destined to rebuild in the team.
The most important thing is that he didn't leave here without leaving a place for himself. He didn't agree to the Cavaliers' recruitment, and he didn't want to be confused by the New York team's waving check. He just wanted to find a team that could win the championship.
And the Celtic cattle, the shocking waves set off in the playoffs, really made Ray Allen a little excited. What's more, Angie has promised him that their ambition is definitely not just to reach the finals.
A complete set of trading plans, a group of extremely fierce reserve power, and the most important thing is the execution power of the Celtics. As soon as the trading market is opened, it makes people have a strong attack power that people can't resist.
When Ray Allen heard all this at home, he only hoped that this choice was right. The North Shore Garden Arena, which is full of honors, will have the final scene of cheering victory by himself and his new teammates next season.
In Seattle, he lost too much. In Boston, he wanted to regain the feeling of victory...
