The Grizzlies uniform group from general manager Chris Wallace down to the previous trader's great logo man Jerry West, there is a genius in the business philosophy: never trade with the New York Knicks' Isaiah Thomas.

He's the devil!

He's a devil who gets hit by shit luck.

Bruce's deal casts a shadow over Memphis over endless humiliation. Even now the world is slamming Bruce for not being a top-10 superstar in the league. But... For sour Grizzlies fans, this is a sweet annoyance. The top 50 on active duty are okay...... Let's see what Memphis got in that deal. A worthless first-round non-lottery, a parallel center who can't hold up the wall with mud, a crazy striker who grabbed the head coach by the neck and almost hung him on the wall... Now he actually went to the Knicks and became Bruce's number one guard.

Isaiah Thomas is a devil.

The plains of Tennessee whispered the mantra of resentment over and over again.

However, when Isaiah Thomas put Jamal Crawford on the trading platform in mid-December. Chris Wallace still couldn't help it: it smells so good!

He dialed New York almost immediately.

The Grizzlies really need a sixth man.

But, ruthlessly.

Isaiah Thomas, the bastard, turned him down on the grounds that Tennessee's entertainment facilities weren't perfect enough and that Tennessee women weren't sexy enough.

Can it be a little more lame?

Wallace is about to blow up, what does this have to do with basketball!!

He felt that the Smiling Assassin was humiliating him.

He swore viciously that I would never lift up again if I made another deal with Isaiah Thomas.

But... Barely 20 hours later, he was ready to move again: Anyway, at his age, does it matter if he doesn't lift or not?

Besides, it's not that the mouth can't be used.

So, he called Isaiah again: "Hey, Thomas. Let's make a trade, I think David Lee is a perfect fit for our lineup. We can talk about it openly. ”

"Oh, no! Mr. It doesn't look like you have any leverage, if you're not willing to hand over next year's first round of lotto to us. ”

Isaiah Thomas hung up the phone and told Chris Wallace, "I'm busy." If you wish to trade, just send your quote to my email. You know, I'm not as idle as a normal general manager. ”

The smiling assassin grew colder.

There is no way, it is too cold in high places. When you don't do anything, the team has already rushed to the first place in the regular season, and every day the boss still stares at you with adoring eyes, it's hard not to float!

And, like Chris Wallace's calls, Thomas has really been getting too many calls lately.

After all, he put two elite players on the free market at once.

Although Crawford has only 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists so far this season, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the reason for his declining stats is due to less playing time and shrinking tactical space. His multiple solo performances last season were enough to get teams looking to improve their rotation.

Moreover, what if his one-handed quantum entanglement shooting method collapses into a possibility. This is a shooting guard who can become a star player at any time!

Can it not be crowded?

And with Isaiah Thomas calmly putting David Lee, who averaged 13.8 points and 7.8 rebounds per game this season, into the free market, he did not hesitate to drop a shock bomb on the calm lake.

David Lee!!

The Knicks are so willing.

Judging from the strength of David Lee last season, he is not just an elite player, and he can even compete with Bruce Lee for the team's number one star last season, which can not be underestimated.

On top of that, he's still on a rookie contract, which is cheap and plug-and-play.

That ecstatic jump shot, that steady backcourt rebound.

There is also a spiritual attribute that is not stained by the mud, and a quiet and calm character.

Who doesn't want it?

From South Coast to East Coast and from East Coast to West Coast, countless teams got wet.

Telephone telegrams poured into New York City in a frenzy, one after another.

Even... Cleveland and Boston Celtics, two shameless guys, also came over to join in the fun.

Isaiah Thomas refused on the spot: I want to eat fart.

Especially the Boston Celtics, the smiling assassin blocked McHale in one bite: "Want to exchange for David Lee? No way!! Replace Nate Robinson for you pretty much the same. ”

Originally, Thomas just wanted to be angry with the Celtics.

How did he know that McHale's skin was thicker than the city wall, so he replied at that time: Yes! All right!

At this moment, Thomas froze a little, and a mouthful of old phlegm stuck in his throat: my special mother has never seen such a brazen person.

"So, what leverage do you have?"

But soon, he also showed his brazen gesture: "I declare first, I just want draft picks and cash. ”

"There was really no cash, and the landlord's family had no food to spare. In this manner, How about next year's first-round Gascara Brien? ”

Isaiah Thomas weighed it. Nate Robinson didn't really do much to stay with the Knicks, and most of the time he was the mascot to liven up the atmosphere. Before, when Ramon Sessions wasn't up, he could still play for a few rounds, but now... His role is greatly diminished.

Although Scalabrian also served as a cigar for victory in the Celtics, he was a real seven-foot man... Well, he doesn't look capable of fighting. But... The Knicks are stretched thin at the center position right now: whether it's Zach, Eddie or Swift, they're all power forwards.

Honestly, Thomas misses Marc Gasol in Spain very much, and hopes that he can really produce a huge chemistry as Bruce describes. However, he won't be able to make it to the NBA until at least next season.

"Celtics' first-round pick?"

Li Zhen expressed a strong interest in this.

Although he knows that with Boston's record this season, the probability of them surpassing 100% of the first-round picks is after the 20th pick, and it is not necessarily bad luck to even finish at 30th.

But... Draft, Li Zhenzai likes it too much. He always felt like he could have a flash of inspiration on draft night. He's had so many flashes of inspiration like this, which is why his investments are so successful now and his music albums are so popular.

I even felt like I had the power to be a prophet of the unknown.

Bruce told the Smiling Assassin candidly more than once.

Thomas would always raise his hands and say, "All right, man." Then you tell me which female celebrity will get into your bed tonight, I have to be prepared, I can't be ignorant when the reporter asks me tomorrow, it will seem like I'm very stupid.

Then, the conversation couldn't go on.

Nate Robinson showed a strong reluctance to trade his proposal. He was still working on David Lee and Crawford to choose the right home for them.

But in the blink of an eye, before the two were traded, he had to apply for a ticket to Boston.

Still, the Knicks are very human.

Before he left, Isaiah Thomas had him play 30 minutes in Chicago. But... Nate Robinson couldn't capitalize on his chances, hitting just seven of his 25 attempts.

It almost made the trade yellow.

However, it also made Xiao Tudou understand that he is indeed drifting away from this team, and he can no longer integrate into the tactical system like last season. The young Ramon Sessions is more tactically savvy and defensive.

"You've got to do your job as a backup point guard and don't give Bruce a lot of problems. I'll come back and test your work next time. ”

Before leaving, Robinson did not forget to give Ramon Sessions a 'warning'.

It's a little sad in the atmosphere.

Just when Li Zhen brewed some emotions and was about to say some parting words.

This guy dialed Garnett in the blink of an eye: Hey, Kevin! It was all a misunderstanding before, and we will be our own brothers in the future. I'll give you a bag, don't worry, my bag is stable and good. And, I bring you the full set of Nicks' tactical ......!

Forehead!!

At that time, Zach went up and 'kicked' him.

Anyway, the atmosphere came alive.

As everyone knows, Robinson didn't actually make the call. And, with his IQ, how is it possible to remember the full set of tactics.

Besides?

'Do we have tactics?' ’

At the time, assistant coach Stevens was a bit of a mess.

……

After a defeat at the United Center in Chicago, the Knicks moved on and they made their way to icy Milwaukee.

It's a small city, and it's cold.

But it can't stop the enthusiasm of Chinese journalists, because it's a Chinese derby.

The performance of Li Zhen and Yi Jianlian has attracted much attention from across the ocean.

Yi Jianlian has struggled with the Bucks this season, and although he has become much more aggressive in the summer league with the help of Li Zhen, when your team's five starters are four solitaires, and there is a rival on the bench who has no eyebrows but is better than your in all aspects, you can hardly play at an elite level.

Yi Jianlian's average data is only 9.0 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, which is very mediocre in this year's lottery show.

However, he is on the latest All-Star voting list...... The Bucks really can't find any qualified talent.

And Yi Jianlian entered the list, which immediately made many stars sour.

Some discordant words kept coming: simply let the five starters of the Eastern Conference All-Star be left to the Chinese players and the fat players who played well with him.

These words are obviously diss Yi Jianlian, but in fact, it is the New York Knicks who are attacked.

Because, Li Zhen not only rode the top of the voting list, but also led his teammate Zach Randolph to hold down Dwight Howard in the center position, and Eddie Griffin also entered the top five of the forward list. If it weren't for the fact that the league only gave the Knicks three spots, there was really hope that all five of the Knicks' starters would be All-Star.

And, according to the conventions of the All-Star team, the Knicks' status as the first-half champion is enough for Isaiah Thomas to take the helm of the Eastern All-Star team.

I don't know if I'm going to wear small shoes for other teams!

The Smiling Assassin is the ancestor of the All-Star Game to put shoes on others...... Michael Jordan was isolated by him back then, and maybe he can do something about it this year.

……

Thomas hasn't paid attention to the All-Star lately, and he's even sitting on the bench and meditating during the game.

He's got to make a deal.

Trading is an art!

The problem before him now is that the team is still short of a center forward, and that Crawford will be traded to a city with beautiful mountains and beautiful transportation.

You can't break the hearts of your loyal ministers.

"That's the difference between me and the average general manager."

He told Donnie Walsh on the phone. At the time, Walsh strongly suggested Isaiah Thomas trade Jamal Crawford for Minnesota for Ryan Gomez, a potential forward he saw.

However, Thomas firmly vetoed it. Where Minnesota is, that's the bitter cold.

He didn't even talk to Walsh about the players.

That's what makes Thomas so cute.

He's a jerk, even a jerk. But... He's angry.

How can you let the brothers who fought together go to that kind of place?

Even Nate Robinson, it was Robinson himself who nodded. But whenever Robinson showed strong resistance, he would call a halt. Anyway, isn't it just a mascot for a mascot, and by the way, I got a draft pick from the Celtics.

112:90。

The Knicks cut down the Bucks bloodlessly.

The Bucks don't have the heart to fight the Knicks at all, and they may have been thinking about next year's draft for a long time.

The players are also tirelessly brushing the data on the field. When Williams and Michael Reid first opened, they also made a few balls for Yi Jianlian, but as the game progressed, they reverted to their old ways, and the so-called dog can't change to eat, probably that's it.

After the game, Yi Jianlian, who scored 11 points and 5 rebounds, specially chatted with Li Zhen for a while.

Li Zhen's advice to him was: Get out of here quickly. This is not the place to play.

Or go to a strong team with strict discipline, start from the bench, and practice tactical thinking.

Or go to a weak team that is waiting to be rebuilt, control the ball, and polish your skills.

Bucks, where there are many shallow kings, are still less than second. The golden age of players is short, don't waste fearlessly.

This is heartfelt advice.

Yi Jianlian nodded and remembered it in her heart.

……

Isaiah Thomas is on his way to Indiana and has finally circled a few potential trade partners: the Golden State Warriors, the Sutermento Kings, the Atlanta Hawks, and the Chicago Bulls.

However, there are some differences on the part of the coaching staff on the demands.

Stevens was a strong demand for a draft pick because he knew there would be a lot of unknown talent coming up in the draft in 2008.

Coach Boris from Georgetown University said: We need at least a tough defensive guard and an interior shield. In this way, our defense will be strong and we will be able to go far in the playoffs!

Both are good advice.

It's a pity that these teams are not stupid, how can they send abalone and bear paws?

Alas!

Thomas had another headache, and he decided to discuss it with Li Zhen.

At this time, Li Zhenzhen and Stephen Marbury and the new player who had just arrived from Boston to meet Scala Bryan discussed traditional Chinese culture.
