Chapter 92: The Closing Date of the Transaction (Second Shift Requests for a Monthly Pass)
Three days after the All-Star break, the 76ers returned to training. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Anxi drove to the underground garage of the training hall, said hello to Jack Leod, who also had just arrived, and then walked into the locker room.
The locker room was very deserted, there were few people, An Xi was strange, but he didn't care, sat in front of his cabinet, and silently changed into his training clothes.
After a while, the teammates arrived.
However, An Xi frowned, training time was approaching, but there were a few fewer people in the team, at this time, he thought that today was also the trade deadline, and all transactions had to be completed before today.
Sam Xinki unexpectedly appeared in the locker room and called Anxi.
Anxi followed Samsinki out of the locker room, and the bright-minded Anxi already understood something.
As he walked, he said, "Ann, tomorrow is the trade deadline, I made two more trades, let me tell you." ”
An Xi nodded.
"One deal is, the Evan Turner deal. ”
Turner was traded, and Anxi had already guessed because he didn't see Turner in the locker room.
Anxi sighed, but if you think about it, maybe being traded is also a good thing for Evan Turner, Turner is in good shape this season, but because of the existence of Anxi and McCarvey, Turner had to go to the bench, and the playing time has declined to a certain extent, this time being traded, Evan Turner may be able to get a chance to show himself.
Sam Singki continued: "Evan was sent to the Rockets, and we also got Elliott Williams, Omir Asik, and Troy Daniels from the Rockets, plus a first-round pick for next year. ”
Anxi nodded to understand that Turner was sent to the Rockets, and the main body of the deal is basically Evan Turner for Omir Asik and a first-round pick next year, and with the Rockets' current record, this first-round pick should be a draft pick at the end of the first round.
Overall, the 76ers got Asik, a top-notch starting center, and the trade was not a loss.
The two walked outside Samsinki's office and then talked about another deal: "What about another deal?"
"Tony Roten, he was sent away. ”
"Tony, isn't he playing well?" Anxi is still a little puzzled by Tony Roteng being sent away, except for the unqualified performance on the defensive end, Tony Rotten's performance on the offensive end is still very good, he can shoot suddenly, and he is very suitable for partnering with Anxi.
"The deal was requested by Brett, and Tony Rotten's defense was so poor that Brett asked to send him away and then build a better point guard rotation. ”
"Who's that for?"
"Nobody got it in exchange for a first-round pick next year. ”
"Next year's first-round pick......" Anxi frowned, but then he thought that the Knicks' current record is outside the Eastern Conference playoffs, and the purpose of trading for Tony Rotten is to fill the vacancy in the point guard position, because the Knicks have not performed well in Raymond Filton this season, and Mike Woodson believes that the lack of control is the main reason for the team's poor performance.
As a result, Tony Rotten, who played as a substitute in the 76ers and has repeatedly performed well, has become a target for the Knicks.
However, Sam Sinki's idea is very simple, although the Knicks' goal is still the playoffs, but with the current ranking of the Knicks, the possibility of not making the playoffs in the end is also very high, so the 76ers get the draft pick, either the draft pick in the middle of the first round, or the draft pick in the lottery area, anyway, this deal is still not a loss.
If it becomes a draft pick in the lotto area, there is still something to be earned.
The two trades Anxi probably understood, both are no-profit and no-loss deals, the trade got only two players, the arrival of Omir Asik further strengthened the team's interior line, Cole Aldridge can return to the bench, Asik will be a better starting center.
As for Troy Daniels, Anxi doesn't know much about it, but according to Sam Sinki, Troy Daniels is a good outside three-point shooter, and he can be regarded as completing the task that Anxi gave Ahhinki.
An inside gate, and an outside three-point shooter.
After two trades, the 76ers will only have 13 players left on their roster, and it is clear that they will have to sign people in the future, either in exchange for draft picks or from the free market.
After a chat in the office, the team's training began.
While his teammates were still wondering why there were suddenly three players missing, Brett Brown walked out and clapped his hands: "Okay, don't look around, Evan, Elliott and Tony have all been traded, they have rushed to their new team, today our training is simple, play against each other in groups." ”
There was a moment of silence in the arena, and a few players looked surprised, and after a while, Brett Brown began to arrange the grouping of the match.
"Michael, your injury is not healed yet, go to the other side and train on your own. ”
Brett Brown drove away the injured McCarvey, and the remaining players were exactly ten people, and the 5v5 was formed.
The main team Anxi played a cameo point guard, Jack Crowder started the scoring guard, small forward Francesco Garcia, power forward Pau Gasol and center Cole Aldridge.
And the bench team, Sean Livingston point guard, scoring guard James Anderson, small forward Hollise Thompson, big forward Byron Mulens, center Henry Simms.
The competition officially began.
The purpose of the competition is very simple, one is to maintain the state, and the other is to practice the tactics.
With the arrival of Pau Gasol, the 76ers' tactics have also undergone some changes, Brett Brown has increased the number of times Pau Gasol has the ball in the mid-range, and with the help of Pau Gasol's mid-range threat, he can respond to the offense or attack with the ball himself.
Anxi also needs to integrate into this new system, so although the opponents in the confrontation are weak and not a one-grade opponent, the main team is still very difficult to play because they need more run-in.
And by the time Omir Asik joins a few days later, the team's defensive system will also need a new round of running-in.
At the trade deadline, the 76ers were playing their practice matches, and the NBA was busy, especially those in the media.
The 76ers first officially announced two trades, following the trade of Pau Gasol, and then announced the exchange of Evan Turner and Elliott Williams, Omir Asik, who has not played due to the arrival of Dwight Howard, and Troy Daniels, who has not played so far, plus a first-round pick for next year.
Evan Turner was traded, and the reporters began to analyze the deal, and in their opinion, the 76ers made the deal.
Because of Anxi, Evan Turner has been reduced to the sixth man, although he performed well, but after all, he was only a substitute, which had little impact on the 76ers, and in exchange for Asik, he could fill the vacancy in the 76ers' interior line and form the European twin towers with Pau Gasol.
The 76ers' current starting center, Kerr Aldridge, can only play averagely, with good rebounds, but the 76ers' most needed rim protection is not very good. And the newcomer Asik is a center with good frame protection, and there is also a certain threat to the outside cover on the offensive end.
For example, ESPN's Mark Stern believes that after this deal, the 76ers will directly jump to the top team in the East, and the Pacers and Heat are in the same gear.
As for the second deal, sending away Tony Roten for a future first-round pick, North American journalists are clearly divided into two camps.
One faction believes that the 76ers earned from this deal, and it is still Makstein, and he believes that Tony Rotten is a poor defensive two-way guard who has little training value, especially in the case of the 76ers with McCarvey, a trade to send Tony Roteng away, and also get a draft pick at least in the middle of the first round next year, this deal must be earned.
And William Hunter, the new columnist of Sports Illustrated, who has a different opinion, believes that Tony Roten is a very good attacker, and the 76ers will regret sending Tony Roten away.
The opinions of the two factions are completely different, mainly because Tony Roten is relatively young, there is still a lot of room for development in the future, and everything is possible.
In addition to the two trades of the 76ers, other teams have also completed several trades and reinforcements.
The Wizards have officially announced that the team has acquired veteran point guard Andre Miller while sending Veseli to the Nuggets.
The Heat have announced that they will trade Luke Richard Bamot and Roger Mason and a future second-round pick to get Courtney Lee from the Celtics in exchange for a new power 3-and-D player, with obvious targets for Anxi and Paul George.
In addition, according to the Rockets' official website, the Rockets have reached a deal with the Nuggets, with Aaron Brooks and Jordan Hamilton swapping owners.
Regarding the deal, Yahoo Woshen said that the Rockets got the athletic wing player they always wanted, and the Nuggets got a backup point guard with quality. On the Nuggets side, if Ty Lawson is unavailable due to injury, plus Nate Robinson's season reimbursement and Andre Miller being traded, Brooks will most likely be the Nuggets' starting point guard.
Charlotte Bobcats officially announced that the team has acquired defenders Gary Neil and Luke Ridno in a trade, and their chips are Ramon Sessions and Jeff Adrian.
The Spurs' official website announced that the team has reached a deal with the Raptors, trading Nando De Colo for Raptors forward Austin Daye.
Just when the whole NBA was in an uproar, Samsinki was still making the last effort, there were only 13 people left in the team's roster, and it was necessary to add new players, so Samsinki contacted the general managers of several teams in a row, hoping to exchange the second-round picks in his hand for some good players.
In addition, Samsinki is also looking overseas, hoping to get some good free agents through signings. (To be continued.) )
