Chapter 170 Trading Vortex

There is a saying that you listen to thunder silently, or you translate it simply and directly. Generally, there will be no special movement before a big event happens, so it will definitely be very shocking at the moment of exposure.

In the NBA, some big deals involving the core of the team, or three teams, or even several teams entangled together, often have this kind of quiet and scary effect afterwards.

Because once this kind of deal is concluded, it will often change the team's strength and the balance of the division. Seriously, it can even affect the whole pattern of the league, so this kind of deal is absolutely shocking.

Many teams rely on large trades and drafts, such as the selection of Duncan's Spurs, or the Heat's recruitment of O'Neal from the Lakers, which is a typical example.

If you fight, if you win, you will make money. If you lose, you will at most survive for another two years. I don't know how many big deals have bloomed in the vicissitudes of the NBA.

Of course, there are actually more failed trades, such as the Trail Blazers and New York. In recent years, any deal that has something to do with these two teams is basically a tragic ending, and few accidents happen.

Those two cities have almost become "ball star black holes". As long as you have the courage to turn to them, you can basically lose it. Now many people are sweating for the good performance of Brandon Roy.

However, both the team and the fans will inevitably look forward to those involved in many transactions, especially some teams that are ready to rebuild, and will choose to replace the big players in their own team.

Whether it is a potential rookie, draft pick, or a simple empty salary space, this is a necessary experience in the team's reconstruction process, but the price is also very high, and it often sinks for a season or two.

Especially for those who gamble in the draft, once they fail, they don't want to turn over in the short term. In fact, it is not common for a team like the Bulls to choose a good player, so many people are envious of Chicago's luck.

There are actually many examples of collapse after trading, just like the Celtics. They have also experienced that dark period, and the process of reconstruction is always long and tormenting.

Opportunity and risk coexist. There is no difference between trading and gambling, but the rewards make many team managers choose to take risks. After all, he still has half the chances of success, so they are willing to gamble.

And the core or bosses of the team that have been traded are either starting to decline, or they are not compatible with the team's existing tactical system, and most of them are a little out of place.

When there is a big contract in your team that can't play his due role, the first reaction of most team managers is to trade that guy away so that the money they spend looks worth it.

Many big deals always happen before others pay attention, so no matter before the NBA closes the player trade in February, all assumptions may appear.

While Angie was still in Los Angeles to supplement the Celtics' lineup, there was no big deal in the summer, but suddenly there was a big deal, which was really unexpected by many people.

The Philadelphia 76ers, which had been turbulent for nearly two months, finally traded their star Iverson to the Nuggets with a sluggish record. Their speed really made many people not react. On the first day, the news just leaked, and the next day, this The transaction has been publicly announced as the completion of the transaction.

This caught many teams that are going to talk to the Philadelphia 76ers a little unprepared. For example, Dolan's loser is very annoyed. According to this guy's idea, if Iverson and Marbury put them together, it will be much better.

However, the management of Philadelphia did not give Dolan a chance to dream. On the day they revealed that they wanted to trade, they had reached an agreement with the Nuggets. When others reacted, the business was completed.

The speed has not given the media and fans much time to react. Even if Philadelphia's loyal fans want to curse the street, their "answer" is about to leave before they open their mouths.

The Philadelphia 76ers exchanged their own team boss for Joe Smith, whose contract is about to expire, and the Nuggets' point guard Andre Miller, a standard point guard that Chix is very much hoping to get.

In addition to Iverson, the 76ers also got Ivan McFaling. While getting two players, they can also get two first-round picks from the Nuggets next year.

It is estimated that this is the most important thing for the 76ers. It is not only Iverson's salary of 18 million without their headaches, but also allows the team to look forward to winning some good players in next year's draft.

It is also because of this condition that Philadelphia will deal with Denver. The whole process is so smooth that the two sides are completely taking what they need.

It may also be because I chose two rookies that can be useful in a draft on the Celtics, which also moved the Philadelphians in the same region. They are also ready to gamble in the draft.

The most important thing is that the 76ers have been completely determined to rebuild this time. Although the outside world is not optimistic that Iguodala can carry the team, the irreconcilable contradiction between Kix and Iverson made the management hesitate for a long time and still choose to trade. Maybe the ending is a little cruel, but for them, it is the best. Of.

It's not news about Iverson's whereabouts and the deal. It's just that after such a deal is reached, the strong teams in the West have to cheer up, and the strength of the Nuggets is gradually increasing.

Everyone may know how lethal Iverson can be, and the Nuggets now have a fierce Anthony. If these two guys get together, er, this attack power...

Although Iverson has not yet reported in Denver, the media over there have begun to celebrate, and even many media have publicly said that this is Denver's most powerful combination of two guns!

As for whether it is or not, only the game can be tested. Anyway, both teams have their own needs. The Nuggets need a tough scorer, and the 76ers have almost given up this season.

Anyway, there is no good way not to give up. The 76ers are now at the bottom of the Atlantic Division. If they want to turn over, a miracle will happen.

Now they can only compare with the Knicks. In the Atlantic Division, whose performance is the worst.

Anyway, this deal has been exposed in front of the public. As for how Philadelphia fans will denounce their team's despicable management, it is an internal contradiction between their people.

Angie doesn't pay much attention to such a deal. After all, according to the current salary structure of the Celtics, it is more or less difficult to recruit big stars like Iverson to join.

What's more, the other party wants to win the championship immediately. The Celtics have not entered their eyes for the time being, and the salary higher than Pierce makes Angie a little deterred.

In addition, Rivers doesn't want the arrival of one person to destroy the Celtics' more balanced tactical system, so Angie has never thought of Iverson at all.

However, less than two days after Iverson's deal, Angie was concerned about another piece of news in Philadelphia, because Goodwin had already called him a day earlier.

"The Philadelphia 76ers announced that they have bought out the remaining $22 million contract with Chris Weber, which is undoubtedly a show of the confidence of the Philadelphians to start rebuilding."

"After removing the two biggest contracts in the team, the salary space of the 76ers is now enough for them to attract big stars to enter the free agent market before the start of next season."

"The management of the 76ers announced the news. They thanked Weber for his help to the team in these seasons in Philadelphia and wished the veteran a better future."

This is what Angie is waiting for, but he didn't expect the Philadelphia people to move so fast. From Goodwin's meeting with him, it was just less than a week.

"That group of Philadelphians are really straightforward, 20 million dollars. They don't even think about it when they pay the money. This is really for reconstruction, and they have done everything. I hope the combination of Iguodala and Chix can take them to start the road of revival. Otherwise, the management will be scolded to death. "

Now Angie is completely paying attention to this big deal that attracts the attention of the east and the west.

Philadelphia's competitiveness in the Atlantic Division will no longer affect the Celtics. As for how the West can be chaotic, it is not a matter for Angie to consider. He is not happy that the play can be more lively.

Iverson's departure and stay has become a foreboding, but Goodwin's phone call also reminded Angie that he hasn't dealt with Weber yet, and Detroit is competing with Boston.

In the face of such an inside line that can still play for about 28 minutes, you can score 12 points and 8 rebounds. You may only need a veteran clause to do it, and anyone will be moved.

But now the condition that the Pistons can offer is to solve the remaining contracts of this season. They probably need to pay about 700,000 yuan, but Sanders will use the championship as a bait.

When Goodwin called, Angie didn't think much about it at all and told Goodwin directly that if Webb could come to Boston, he would use the veteran's terms, which was about 1.2 million yuan a year.

This salary is not large. Compared with the more than 20 million bought out by Philadelphians, it can even be said to be a little stingy. According to Weber's money, he may not look down on such a little money.

If this is put in peacetime, it is estimated that no team manager will rush to use such veteran terms to seduce Weber to his own team, but now, Weber himself wants to find a team.

Therefore, how much salary he gets is no longer his primary consideration. What he needs is another kind of motivation, that is, honor. Whoever can give him honor and who can give him hope is his choice.

Although Angie will not be the bait for the championship like Sanders, he has asked Goodwin to tell Webb that he is not going to sign Webb this year or just for a playoff.

As long as Weber's injury does not interfere with attendance, he hopes that Weber can play in Boston until retirement.

This is not an official statement, but Angie's sincere request. In fact, this is what Rivers meant when he communicated with Angie in private. After Chen Feng played that game with the 76ers, Weber's confrontation with the wild boy under the basket made Chen Feng realize a lot of things. In terms of Weber's ability alone, it is also true. Not weak.

And it's not bad to spend money to get an experienced teacher for that boy, who can usually play on the game. Rivers almost didn't make a decision on the spot.

The Celtics showed great sincerity, and Webb himself could consider them at the beginning because the bald wild boy made him feel a kind of confrontation in that game.

As Rivers said, the Pistons may have the ability to go further in the playoffs, but what they have is only the present, and the Celtics have a broad future.

Weber believes in his intuition. Most importantly, he believes that the brave bald boy is a good partner. His tough style allows him to have more room to play.

The old guy who has just been bought out hopes to show those who think he is old in the most intuitive way. He is not old enough to play basketball. He still has gorgeous skills and extraordinary consciousness.

No one can think that the storm caused by Iverson was just a prelude, and the people of Detroit did not expect that the conditions they offered to Webb would receive a polite reply a day later.

And after Weber refused the Pistons' recruitment, he immediately informed Goodwin that he could sign a contract with Boston immediately. For this, Angie even put down a negotiation and flew back directly.

Sanders really scratched his scalp and didn't expect that he would lose to other opponents in this competition.

Weber, who was targeted by many teams, has decided where to go in his first public appearance after two days of silence.

When the mystery was revealed, the team that was bent on attracting the veteran realized who they had lost to.

Especially Sanders, he didn't figure out why the Pistons, which ranked first in the East, would lose to the Celtics who had been hovering around the threshold of the playoffs. This is really him!

"I'm very happy to come to Boston. There is a glorious history here, and I hope I can be a part of it." When Chris Webb said this, Rivers' mouth was about to bloom.

However, Angie told her old buddy at the other end of the phone, "Don't be happy too early, because the good news is still behind."

The transaction vortex set off by Philadelphia has brought the most benefits to Boston. Many people are even lamenting their shit luck, but few people think that this is just the beginning...
