Chapter 346 Re-Note
In the face of Kevin Garnett, a rare big fish in the transfer market, it is estimated that whoever changes will be temptuated.
It is not to blame James Dolan for shouting to exchange half of the Knicks for him, and it is not in vain to ask the little emperor to the management to drag this Minnesota lone wolf from the cold forest to Cleveland.
It is said that this is a talent show year and a good harvest, but there is no doubt that the biggest fish in it must be Garnett, and he will even be more sensational than Ray Allen's departure from Supersonic.
After all, this lone wolf has been wandering in Minnesota for 12 years and is still very powerful.
Last season, the Timberwolves' record in the West was unspeakable, but Garnett's data could still average 22.4 points per game, 12.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.7 blocks, which was still very ferocious.
Just like his previous twelve years, when a Chinese zodiac went through a reincarnation, this fierce lone wolf can still bite out a world in the territory that belongs to him.
But at the end of that season, everyone can see that the lone wolf has a little lonely back.
Especially when he began to feel that he was no longer young, he became more and more eager for the championship ring.
Garnett is thinking about his future. In fact, since the beginning of last season, this Wolf King, who has been wandering in Minnesota for a long time, finally wants to leave his territory. The days of being alone are really hard.
No matter how fierce a lone wolf is, when he has to face five or more opponents every night, and then there is no one around to help. Who can stand it for ten years? Can you do it?
Minnesota may be one of the worst cities in the NBA. The cold weather is cold, there is no prosperity of the metropolis, and most importantly, the attraction for those big stars is really close to zero.
These guys who play the game all want to get ahead, not to mention how big the cards are, at least let people know them.
Especially those who are a little ambitious. Even if they can't be the core of the team, they want to be familiar in big cities. Anyway, few people want to play in places like Minnesota or Memphis.
That's the appeal of small cities. If Cleveland doesn't have a little emperor, can it attract attention? Does the Gilbert Brotherhood meet most of James's requirements? It's for nothing else, just to keep this guy.
But there is only a small emperor in the alliance. You can't expect every small city to have this kind of attention. Even if Minnesota has Garnett, he can't always pay attention to this unpopular city.
Even if Iverson went to Denver to partner with Anthony to become a "golden double gun", he was unwilling to move to the Timberwolves and Garnett. It's not that there was some old grudge between the two, but that he simply didn't want to go.
Only Garnett can stick to the poor mountains and rivers in Minnesota. Although this guy has entered the NBA with the resume of a high school student, his dedication is worthy of his annual salary.
Many people are saying that because Garnett has the top salary, the Timberwolves have never been able to find a suitable partner for him. The two splits of the combination are all because of this, which is purely farting!
If O'Neal and Kobe ask for a top salary, then this kind of nonsense will be less pitiful, or even none!
Just because these two guys have won the championship, and Garnett has only reached the Western Conference finals once, so it is an original sin for you, a high school student with a salary of more than 100 million yuan, and if you don't win, it's a sin!
This is the bullshit of some commentators. They will give a bunch of data to prove that if Garnettken's salary had been reduced, then Marbury might not have left, and later the three-headed monsters would not have gone their separate ways.
If the youth storm of Marbury, Garnett and Gugliota could continue, maybe the playoff history of the Timberwolves would have been rewritten long ago, and commissar Ma would not have been living in the Knicks at this moment.
Garnett is not expected to be a round of the playoffs for several years in a row. Anyway, according to those guys, as long as Garnett doesn't have a big contract, the prospect of the Timberwolves is quite broad.
And the same is true of the later three-headed monster period. If Garnett takes the initiative to cut his salary, then Spreeville and Kassel can stay. Maybe they will really kill in the West and finally get close to the stage of the finals.
Of course, all of this is hypothetical. Is it out of thin air and unfounded, allowing those experts and commentators to reason and prove it with a pile of broken data? I'm sorry, they don't think about it at all.
It's just that if someone is saying this, someone must be listening, and with the departure of Commissar Ma and the disintegration of the three-headed monsters, such a statement is becoming more and more popular, and it can even be said to be on the surface.
This argument will be very popular, especially when the Timberwolves' situation begins to get worse.
Some people will not use their envy and hatred to try to make themselves stronger. They are more willing to see someone in trouble and someone being reprimanded, so that they will join in and secretly step on a few feet.
It's not a bad taste, it's just a kind of inferiority. When others say he can't do it, you will agree.
Then he began to prove in various ways that he really can't do it. If everything comes true, most people will tell others like a magic stick. Look, if he says he can't, it's really not.
They will definitely not put themselves in their shoes. Will they be able to put you cowardly on it?
This is the fault of the performance. Because you didn't win the championship, holding hundreds of millions of contracts is a luxury enjoyment, and your existence did not let the Timberwolves go out of the west and become a strong team.
When you become the target of public criticism, no matter what you say or do, you are wrong, and you can't argue, otherwise you can only attract more criticism, even if you used to be the worship target of that city.
At this time, no one will remember that you have been playing in this city for 12 years. All the records in the team's history are marked with your name. Sometimes you even have to play five positions alone to carry the team forward.
There is a guy in Minnesota who has been an All-Star for ten consecutive years, won a regular season MVP and a Western Conference final, but in the opinion of many people, his playing style is far less affordable than Duncan's steady benefits.
Because the stone-like man brought three championships to San Antonio, and a guy who was the wolf king in Minnesota only left a salary record of more than 100 million yuan in this cold city.
No one will even remember what he has done here, including his desperate battle with his opponents, including his defense of the honor of the city, when he can't succeed, there is only a piece of ruins left, and a voice of criticism.
Few people have said that Master Qiao has an annual salary of more than 30 million US dollars in the last year. If Pippen had not held the basic salary, could the Master have won the second three consecutive championship so smoothly? Then the whole body retreats?
Although Joe helped Pippen challenge the team in his last season in Chicago, if that guy really had a little idea of pulling his brother, he would not have been able to do justice for Pi's second brother until 1998.
It can only be said that everyone wanted to have a perfect curtain call at that time, so Master Qiao stood up and spoke for Pippen, and then the division within Chicago was also on the surface. The team manager and the boss aimed at Master Qiao, but the final victory covered up a lot of exposed things and completed the name of Master Qiao. Sound.
But it is because of the two three consecutive championships that Joe left the name of the god of basketball, and Rodman and Pippen, or even Kukochi and others around him, did not get much benefit, especially Pippen.
However, at this time, no one will make any criticism of Joe's past, just like this guy's fancy things outside and bad gambling habits on the gambling field. Under the prestige of two consecutive championships, these are all floating clouds.
The winner writes history, which is the most standard answer. Garnett's only mistake is that he failed to take the team to win the final championship. Otherwise, who else can talk about his big contract?
These are all facts that can't be changed. Even if Garnett doesn't leave, Minnesota's future has nothing to do with him. The team needs to be rebuilt, and the old minister can only go the road.
Although there are still many Minnesota fans who want Garnett to stay, after playing for 12 years, they are always a little tired, continuous failures, wandering outside the playoffs again and again, really tired.
Even if an iron man who is basically exhausted and can fight in five positions, under the impact of this continuous failure, he has to feel a little physically and mentally exhausted. What's more, there are still many people turning against each other.
The chips of the Lakers and Celtics are on the table of the Timberwolves, but now the guys in Minnesota have to think about the idea of their former Wolf King if they want to trade.
After all, Garnett hasn't left yet. His own opinion can still determine many things, and the team's management does not want to be angry with the public. It can be imagined that they will bear the pressure of fans to send such a leader away.
In order to attract this lone wolf, Los Angeles has offered a large enough price. In addition to the salary requirements, they can also put the most potential big man in the team into the transaction.
Putting Bynum, who is said to be going to take over O'Neal, into the trading choice of the Timberwolves is not only an adventure, but also a kind of **. The rebuilt Timberwolves needs this potential stock.
And Boston's chips are also very heavy. In addition to Rutlief and Gerald Green, Angie also put Jefferson into the plan of the deal. This kind of seduction is also extremely deadly.
Bynum's potential, like his height, is mouth-watering, but compared with the big guy who hasn't fully demonstrated his ability, Jefferson's progress in these two seasons is right in front of you.
Especially in the year when he partnered with Chen Feng, this guy's statistics and playing time are accumulating rapidly. When the rookie contract ends, he can definitely afford a big contract and can also show this ability.
The advantage that Los Angeles and Boston can leave other competitors far behind is the value of these two future potential stocks, which is far more attractive to the Timberwolves than other transactions.
For this kind of ** about the future, I'm afraid no team can ignore it. What's more, the Timberwolves are destined to embark on the road of reconstruction. Unlike the supersonic of Durant, they will be more difficult.
Therefore, no matter which deal you choose, it is a gamble with a heavy bet, and the same is true for Boston and Los Angeles. Both teams pay the price of overdraft in the future.
The same heavy bet is also on Garnett. No matter who he bet on, he is testing his luck.
He can't have another twelve years. He can only get older and older, and the hope of winning the crown is slowly passing.
He doesn't want to leave empty-handed. He must calm down now and take that step on the way to the future...
