Chapter 4 Big Deals, Small Contracts(2/2)
"The Knight overdraws the future, only for the two strong generals."
“…”
Sina's title was as exaggerated as ever, and Li Ke couldn't help laughing.
Then, he clicked on the news—
"A tripartite transaction, the Cavaliers sent Damon Jones, Joe Smith, Alexander Pavlovic, and a first round, getting Mo Williams and Alan from the Bucks."
Damon Jones, Pavlovic and the first round went to the Bucks, Joe Smith went to the Thunder, and the Cavaliers completed the reinforcement.
"This is a bit outrageous. The Knight didn't give anything, so he got Xiao Mo and Ah Lian?"
Speaking of which, the Cavaliers in the 2008-09 season were still very fierce in the regular season and should not be underestimated.
This strengthening session has really nourished the stomach.
The Bobcats also made some moves. After selecting Jordan Jr. in the draft, Boss Joe used a basic salary contract to keep Joel Anthony.
Then, Steven Hunter, who replaced Old Sharks in the finals for two starts, sent the Lakers to the Lakers, and the deal was obtained by ski man Radmanovich.
"This transaction is interesting!"
What Li Ke didn't know was that the ski man joined the Bobcat through a deal in the previous time and space.
Boss Qiao just followed historical inertia.
Compared with the previous time and space, Boss Qiao is very optimistic about skiing men in this time and space.
"He (Radmanovic) can supplement the team's scarce peripheral firepower."
...
Three or five days later, some trading rumors related to the Rockets emerged.
"The Pistons are interested in McGrady, or they may be out of Chauncey Bilupstie Sean Prince."
"Yao Dawei forced the palace, and the Rockets have sought reinforcement."
"Rocket Pistons Big Deal? Choudumas: Negotiation ing..."
“…”
Li Ke from Beilun Training Center was confused.
What does it mean? Do you really want to trade McGrady?
But if you think about it carefully, the possibility is really great.
McGrady was injured, and only the Rockets knew about this. If Yao Dayan did not force the palace, the Rockets would have fantasies about the Yao-Macau combination.
After all, this combination has already produced a huge number of CP fans across the ocean. For the sake of the US contributions from those CP fans, the Rockets do not want to tear down this combination.
But Yao was forced to palace, and the Rockets had to demolish them.
Before dismantling, I evaluate McGrady's injury. The idea of dismantling is probably worse.
After all, in his previous life, McGrady played for half of the season in 2008-09. She was in poor condition and had poor data. She was forced to announce surgery in the middle of the season to end the season.
Then, Yao Yao was injured in the playoffs, and then the Rockets were killed next season. They used McGrady after being seriously injured to trick the Knicks.
"After evaluating the injury, I found that McGrady was no longer able to do it. At this time, the transaction could still cheat the Pistons."
"This transaction is probably done!"
Li Ke still felt it was a pity, because of this, Yao Yao couldn't leave.
"Stay on the Rockets = a dead end, and there may be a glimmer of hope if you leave the Rockets..."
He shook his head with a frown. Dayao refused to listen to advice, and Li Ke had no choice.
...
Time passed by more than ten days, and there was constant news about trading between the Rockets and the Pistons, but there was no accurate letter.
However, the Bobcats used this little half month to determine the basic roster for next season step by step -
Point Guards: Allen Iverson, Tyron Lou, Earlboykins, Sean Livingston
Scoring guards: Li Ke, Dai Quinn Cook, Dontel Jefferson
Small forwards: Gerald Wallace, Jared Dudley, Radmanovich, Kathil Martin
Power forward: Chris Humphries, Juwan Howard, Andre Brown
Center: Shaquille O'Neal, DeAndre Jordan, Ryan Hollins, Joel Anthony
Sean Livingston, Dontel Jefferson, Catil Martin, Andre Brown are currently all training camp contracts. Whether they become regular depends on the performance of the summer league and preseason.
The competition is still quite fierce, and there are only two of four people left behind.
Except for these four people, Boykins renewed a one-year minimum salary, and Zhu Wan Howard signed a same one-year minimum salary.
Finally, Tyron Lue was the only "big deal" and he received a contract of $2.25 million a year.
Overall, Boss Qiao did not squander heavily. Most of the reinforcements were the basic salary. Only Radmanovic, who was traded and Tyron Lue, who was $2.25 million.
Judging from the reinforcement alone, the Bobcats' paper strength is not better than last season.
"You should know that this bobcat is burdening Shaq's 20 million, Ai's 20 million and Gerald Wallace's 9.5 million. They don't want to trigger the luxury tax, so their reinforcement will be very limited."
"Introducing Radmanovich, Juwan Howard and Tyron Lue are already the limit that this team in the small-season market can achieve."
The Charlotte Observer wrote.
...
At the end of July, the Rockets and Pistons deal was finally negotiated.
Without any surprises, the Pistons were deceived by the Rockets, and the final official transaction was-
"The Rockets sent McGrady, Raff Alstom and the first round in 2009, and got Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton from the Pistons."
Looking at the deal, Li Ke just wanted to say one thing: The piston was robbed!
Or: Choudumas got brain drained!
In short, the Rockets succeeded, and they formed the new Billups Richard Hamilton and Yaoyao's three-core, plus Sean Bathir and Scola's lineup, which is very competitive.
Speaking of which, in the past life, McGrady's deal to the Pistons must have been negotiated.
The reason for the failure at that time was probably because the Rockets sent McGrady away and needed to get a passer who could pass the ball to Yao Da.
But the Pistons were unwilling to let Billups go because Choudumas hoped to form a double-back combination of Medica Billups.
In this time and space, the Rockets had a strong desire, and added Alstom and a first round, directly convinced Chaudhumas.
Chapter completed!
