Raven?

Lin Ying was also shocked when he saw the news.

But what shocked him was not the subject of this transaction, because he knew that in history, Love was sent to the Cavaliers by the Timberwolves in this year.

It’s just that the subject of the transaction at that time was Wiggins, and now it is Harden.

Harden's trading value is higher than Wiggins's, because no matter how much you brag, Wiggins will always increase the lottery.

But Harden is already an All-Star who has helped the team reach third place in the Eastern Conference. He is also a rare ball-handling core, and he is still improving.

And this is not the end of the world line.

Because there are only a few top insiders in the league, and if you want to find a space insider suitable for James, there will only be a few people...

Bosh doesn't want to follow James to Cleveland. Among the remaining players, Davis, Aldridge and Love are the only ones in their playing years.

Although Davis has not yet played, the American media considers him a once-in-50-year basketball genius, and it is simply impossible for the Pelicans to trade him.

Aldridge's contract expires this season, and he has a good relationship with the Trail Blazers. In addition, the Trail Blazers already have Lillard, so they will not take the initiative to trade for Harden.

So among the remaining players, Love is basically the only choice.

Although Love's average of 20+10 per game looks good, the Timberwolves have been at the bottom of the Western Conference for consecutive years, and he is a data brush in the eyes of many people.

The Timberwolves can use him in exchange for a ball-carrying core to rebuild. This quick method will only be more attractive than the lottery in history.

What shocked Lin Ying was LaVine.

LaVine is the kind of person who can run, jump, and develop shooting in the future, and is called "Chicago Curry."

The Cavaliers are in trouble.

No, this should be the effect in the eyes of Lin Ying, a person with open eyes.

Because from a trading perspective, there's nothing wrong with this.

There is a trade gap between Harden and Love, and the gap between the Cavaliers' unprotected first-round pick and a borderline lottery pick can almost be made up.

If LaVine were replaced by Dario Saric, the 12th overall pick this year, or TJ Warren, the 14th overall pick, this trade would not shock Lin Ying.

After all, Lin Ying was the only one who had opened his eyes. In the eyes of others, there was not much difference between Lavin and the other two.

So now that LaVine is in the Cavaliers, does he have a chance to grow?

This is a very interesting thing.

Theoretically speaking, the Cavaliers are not rich in role players, and LaVine's main competitor in the future is Xiang Shumpert.

Comparing it to his history of starting from the bench with the Timberwolves, this is not hell.

And there is no certainty about LaVine’s upper limit.

Lin Ying originally thought that James would make decisions two or three after arriving in the Knicks, but reality gave him a hard slap in the face.

It can only be said that as an opponent, he still doesn't understand James well enough.

So if there is really still a decision three, then once James leaves, LaVine's day will come.

Even if James doesn't leave, this Cavaliers team will be much stronger than at the same time in history.

Irving, Shumpert, James, Josh Smith, Love, plus Dellavedova, LaVine, and Tristan Thompson on the bench, only need to strengthen the role players, and they are very competitive.

Moreover, Josh's assist defense is excellent. He can sweep up on the defensive end and help Love pick and roll, and the lineup is also very reasonable.

Even in terms of salary, which is the most worrying thing, this lineup is only about 80 million now. Even if the tax exceeds next season, it will be more, but because they have not exceeded the tax in the past two years, they will not be punished by the super luxury tax.

And the most critical point is that everyone knows that the salary cap will increase significantly in 2016 due to the new broadcast contract.

This is also the reason why James signed a two-year contract instead of a long-term contract.

As long as they survive one season, their salary space will become very healthy by the 2016-2017 season.

So if you analyze it carefully, you will find that David Griffin's operation is quite planned.

The Cavaliers will also quickly replace the Knicks in the new season and become the strongest player in the Eastern Conference.

Social media has become extremely lively for a while.

"Harden is the worst player of the century. He was traded by the Thunder for 2 million, and now he is traded again because James wants to 'go home'. He has also gone from Oklahoma to Oklahoma City, and now to Minnesota in the ice and snow!"

"Ahem, the worst basketball player, the best bargaining chip."

"The Wolves are ecstatic. Kevin Love can't lead the team further, but James Harden makes people look forward to it. It's time for us to shout, 'We are coming to the playoffs'!"

"I said before that James would definitely be traded to the Cavaliers for Harden, but I didn't expect that Love would be traded, and James would directly sign without permission. Now the Cavaliers have a standard four-star, and their strength is not much worse than that of the Knicks!"

"I'm also optimistic about the Cavaliers. I see a lot of changes in the team, but James is an upgraded version of Harden, and Love is an upgraded version of Hawes. Last season's lineup was already third in the Eastern Conference, and it will only be even higher this season.

.”

"This year, the Western Conference has four teams: the Lakers, Thunder, Spurs and Mavericks. But I don't think any of them can win the Cavaliers for sure. The Nets are not strong this season either. It's time for Cleveland to have a championship!"

"So you guys are just trolling. LeBron obviously waited for a trade before making a decision. If the Cavaliers couldn't trade a good lineup, why did he leave the Knicks?"

"That is, people can't have their own ideas anymore. Don't you think about yourself first when you face choices in life?"

"LeBron is not wrong. His fault is that he is too strong. If he is not strong enough, the Knicks can simply not sign him if there is no progress in the contract extension!"

…

Lin Ying returned to Brooklyn after hearing Jordan's story.

During his time away, the Nets also signed the team's 15th man, Brandon Rush.

The two parties signed a two-year basic salary contract with a player option in the second year.

This is considered one of the better players the Nets can sign at this stage.

Speaking of which, Rush and Lin Ying had a close relationship in Naa.

When he started his college career, their senior Randy Williams focused on Rush when introducing their main rival, the University of Kansas.

At that time, Rush withdrew due to a torn right anterior cruciate ligament and Naa did not play in the regular season.

Then in the forced G12 finals, the University of Texas lost to the University of Kansas because of Rush's return.

Coupled with the subsequent encounters with the "Crazy Three", Rush can be regarded as one of his main opponents in college.

In fact, Rush performed very well after entering the NBA. Unfortunately, he was ill-fated and suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee in 2012.

This time the injury was more serious than before. He lost his athleticism and defensive ability, and also changed from an excellent 3D player to a shooter with some reliability.

But even so, his three-point shooting skills may still be useful as a bench player.

After returning to Brooklyn, Lin Ying held a personal training camp as before.

He asked Su Feng to contact the people he felt needed to be contacted.

Within two days, his training camp was already full.

Most of them are familiar faces, and some of them quit halfway before because they couldn't hold on.

But obviously, after a year passed, they felt that their strength had become stronger, and they wanted to try again.

Of course, there are also some new faces this year, such as Bradley and Jokic, newly signed by the Nets in the summer.

Jokic said he wants to lose weight, so there is nothing more suitable for him than this training camp.

What Lin Ying never expected was that on the first day of training camp, he would see a unique involution.

For example, after he trained, Jokic would be the first to hand him a towel, while Bradley would unscrew the cap of the water bottle and hand it to him before he sat down.

Co-authored the two most important signings of the Nets in the summer, recruiting two die-hard younger brothers for him?

Or the kind of fanboy?

Although this is understandable.

Needless to say, Jokic was certified during the draft.

As for Bradley, he only entered the University of Texas in 2009.

Ever since Lin Ying and Durant helped the University of Texas win the championship, they have become school legends.

Moreover, by the time Bradley graduated, Lin Ying had already helped the Suns win the first championship in team history and was also elected FMVP.

It’s hard for a senior like this not to become an idol!

"Actually, you can be more casual."

Lin Ying didn't get used to it for a while.

If I really want to talk about my younger brother, he had Holiday when he was with the Suns, and he also had Butler in the Nets.

But these people were relatively peaceful when getting along with him, unlike these two, who acted like believers.

Bradley nodded, took Lin Ying's water bottle, screwed the cap back on, and then gently set it aside.

Jokic took away the towel Lin Ying used to wipe his sweat and handed him a clean one.

"..."

Lin Ying also went with them.
To be continued...
