Chapter 14 Disturbed off-season
The summer league is just a trivial matter for the whole league. In previous years, there will be big deals. This year's biggest deal is the deal of O'Neill's Journey to the West, followed by the Heat and the Cavaliers. What's next?
Teams that have not won the championship or entered the playoffs are obviously not willing to the status quo and will inevitably seek change in this off-season. In addition to the draft, there is only trading.
The Lakers obviously couldn't make the playoffs without Gasol and Kobe. After trading in Gasol, he immediately returned to the ranks of winning the championship.
O'Neal was traded to the Heat, bringing the first championship trophy in the team's history.
The Celtics can be said to be the most obvious example. The team, which had no hope of winning the championship, immediately won the championship after trading Ray Allen and Garnett to form the Big Three.
From the above examples, it can be explained that trading is the best way to rebuild the team. If you want to win the championship, trading is inseparable.
The Cavaliers are also actively contacting various teams. Obviously, the Cavaliers do not have any good chips at present. James and Huang Jun have been included in the list of non-sale items.
After the end of the summer league, the managers of more than a dozen teams immediately contacted the Cavaliers' manager Feili to ask about the possibility of trading Huang Jun. Ferri didn't even want to refuse directly. Just kidding, he worked hard to get Huang Jun. How could he trade it out? Besides, this is still the player James wants. How dare he trade him?
Ferry looked at the team's lineup and muttered, "The team is very weak in the position of power forward. Alas, what should I do?" After saying that, Ferri looked at the lineup of other teams to see which team had more players for him to choose from.
Finally, Ferri focused on the Rockets for a simple reason, because the Rockets have a lot of players in the forwards, and Ferry hopes to get the Rockets' Carl Landry. Why? Because he thinks that the bargaining chip to get Landry is obviously very low, at least the knight can pay for it.
Do it as soon as you say, dial the number of Morley's office directly, and soon it will be connected
"Morley, I'm Ferry, the manager of the knights. I'm looking for you to discuss a deal," Ferry said bluntly.
"Oh, Ferri, you don't want to do it recently. I don't know who you like in our team?" Murray said with a smile.
"Morley, you got Artest, and Battier's position is obviously embarrassing, right? I want to get Battier. I don't know what kind of chips you want," Ferry said with a smile.
What's surprising is that he said that it's not Carl Landry but Battier. What is this?
"Ha ha, Battier? I don't need to say that you know Batil's value. Although his data is not good, there is no doubt about his role. His value cannot be reflected in data. After saying that, Morley didn't say anything, but waited for Ferri. Obviously, he was going to ask the other party to show his own chips.
Ferry thought for a moment, and then said, "I think you have been replacing Yao Ming, right? In good way, to reduce the pressure on Yao Ming, I can send the big book. Although the big book is old now, there is no doubt about the effect. It is more than enough to replace Yao Ming. What do you think?
When Morey heard such a chip, he was instantly moved. Yes, he has indeed been looking for a qualified replacement for Yao Ming. In this era of scarce insider, can he find it? But he doesn't believe that the other party will trade with him, and there must be a trick.
After Artest came, Battier is not a non-sale. Artest is still important to Artest in his heart than Battier. Although Battier said he didn't care about the substitute, who knew it was a truth rather than a lie?
So Morley thought for a while that if Battier could be exchanged for a center to solve the team's problems, it would not be non-tradable. In his mind, Battier was far from being sold.
Morley suppressed his excitement and said slowly, "I think you want more than Battier, right? Tell me who else you want?"
"It is said that Morey is a smart man. Sure enough, I also want your team's Carl Landry. You also know that after we traded a lot of capital, there are obviously a lot of insider. Of course, we are willing to add a future pick for this. What do you think? Ferri said.
He is very uncertain about whether Morley can agree. Morley has always been a person who does not want to suffer losses. Of course, in Ferri's view, the Rockets will not suffer at all, but more or less make a profit.
Carl Landry was the first rookie in the second round last year. He was selected by the Thunder's Supersonics, and then immediately traded to the Rockets in exchange for the second-round pick and some cash in 2009.
However, Carl Landry has performed well in the rookie season, playing 42 games, averaging eight points and nearly five rebounds per game, and this data is still obtained with only 17 minutes per game, and the potential is very good.
Morey is in hesitation. In his heart, he still doesn't want to let Carl Landry go. Although he can't become a superstar, he is an excellent role player.
Ferry didn't bother Morley either. Let him think about it.
After thinking twice, Morley finally sighed and said, "I promise you the trading plan, but the future draft must be the first round, and the second round is over. How about it?"
Seeing that Morey agreed, Ferri didn't even want to say, "That's natural. Then the deal is settled. I will send the contract to you later and then submit it to the alliance for review."
"Knights's future picks? Ha ha, next year's picks have been traded to the Heat, and the pick right can only be in the next year, but our pick right is not a big deal. The transaction is traded. Anyway, the order is not high," Fei Li said.
"Well, okay," Morley hung up the phone directly after saying that.
After that, Ferri called Big Ben and told him that you had been traded. Thank you for bringing everything to the knight. We will remember you and say nothing more than that.
After hearing the news, even after countless strong winds and waves, he was more or less sad. He knew that he had begun to go downhill, and he understood the Cavaliers' decision very well. Nba is a business, but if you understand it, you will still be sad. But after thinking that the team he went to was the Rockets, Da Ben began to look forward to it again.
At the same time, Morley also called Battier and Carl Landry. Battier is fine. After all, the manager has done such a thing. It's nothing.
Randry, who couldn't accept the news for a while, knew that it was just a business before he entered the league. When you are not a non-sold product of the team, you may be traded at any time.
But he didn't expect all this to come so fast that he couldn't accept it for a while.
The next day, the deal was concluded, and the news on the official website of Knights and Rockets also came out.
When James saw this deal, he jumped up excitedly and looked forward to the team's prospect of winning the championship. Although this deal had not talked to James in advance, James was not dissatisfied at all, but full of excitement.
Batiel is a player he has always liked. When he is in the same position, he is often scolded by him. James is very clear about what he can bring to the team.
Landry's arrival undoubtedly complements the weakness of the inside line, and there is no doubt that the deal is very perfect in James's view.
However, unlike James, Huang Jun is a little sad and still has a good impression on Da Ben, an "old man". When he first came to the team, he taught him all aspects of defense, which undoubtedly benefited Huang Jun a lot.
After reading the transaction news, Huang Jun immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed the big mobile phone. The phone will be dialed soon.
Looking at the phone call, Huang Jun immediately said, "Da Ben, thank you for your help these days. I will always remember you, and I will always treat you as my eldest brother. The Rockets is a good team. With my compatriot Yao, he is a good person. And Maddie and others are a very good team. I wish you a good time over there.
Huang Jun said all the words in his heart in one breath, and finally said in a choked tone.
After all, Daben is a human being. Obviously, it is impossible to hear such words without any words, but Daben is an old-fashioned person after all. He said half-jokingly, "Huang, it's nice to meet you. You are a very good person. But these things are always what you have to face. It's just coming sooner or later. Besides, we may compete on the stage of the finals. At that time, I won't be soft, hahahaha"
After listening to Da Ben's words, Huang Jun replied, "I don't need your soft hands either. You are my big brother at any time."
After that, Daben taught Huang Jun how to face transactions, or rumors, which benefited Huang Jun a lot again.
Da Ben said to himself, "Huang, I believe you won't be traded. You are the core of this team, unless you ask for a deal to leave, or James is dissatisfied, there will be nothing else."
James and Huang Jun have opposite moods, mainly because Huang Jun is too young, or James' desire for the championship is too strong. So the idea is different.
And the knight's deal just sounded the horn of the deal, which was the first deal after the draft. In the eyes of the outside world, this transaction is a deal that both parties need to get, and it is not about who wins.
All the general managers know that this year's off-season knights trading is undoubtedly to increase the chips to win the championship. This year's knights will be very simple. The yellow list will bring them a qualitative change. There is no need for James to be a father and mother. For James It's a kind of relief. Although James is omnipotent, he is just a lonely warrior.
