The three-way deal is moving faster than many expected.

One thing that needs to be mentioned here is Kidd's contract.

He signed a max contract with the Nets in the summer of '03.

At that time, Kidd had just turned 30 years old, averaging 18.7 points, 6.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2.2 steals per game, leading the team to the Eastern Conference semifinals for two consecutive years.

There is no other way to do this than the top salary.

Considering that he is a point guard, the Nets gave him a six-year, 103 million contract with a super-large maximum salary at the time.

The contract will not expire until the summer of 2009.

His salary this season is 18.08 million, and the next two years are 19.73 million and 21.37 million respectively.

In this era, Sun Hao's top new capital is only more than 15 million, so you know how big this contract is.

In other words, Kidd's deal was not as valuable as it could have been because of the contract.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been put on the shelves first, but it hasn't been traded yet.

So when it comes to trading returns, their expectations aren't that big.

A talented Harris, or Granger, plus Peja, a swingman in his playing years, is actually a very good result.

And the Mavericks are also interested in getting Kidd and Chandler at the same time, because the post-trade lineup is said to be 2 2 with 2 A's in a low-key way, and a four-star lineup in a high-profile way!

As for the Bulls, keep Paul and Yi Jianlian, get Kobe, and give everyone else to you!

The rumors are constantly being updated, and the details of the three-way deal are constantly being added.

Kobe Bryant goes to the Bulls, it looks like it's only a matter of time!

Of course, now this twisted alliance, this deal has not yet been reached, and it has already brought a lot of ripple effects.

For example, on the Wizards' side, they have been negotiating with the Nets beforehand, trying to trade Kidd with Hamilton as the main body.

Seeing that Kidd was about to die, Maddie was persuaded by the management to go on a trip to New Jersey to find his cousin.

No one knew what the two men were talking about.

I only know that two days later, Carter made a statement in front of the media.

I'm against it!

That's right, he was against this three-way deal!

And the reason for his opposition is reasonable: he doesn't want to mess around!

In this three-way deal, the Bulls and Mavericks both got what they wanted most, but the Nets were the big ones.

Oh no, I'm ready to say that it was he Carter who played the role of this wronged man.

Kobe's peak is the peak, and Lao Tzu's peak is not the peak, right?!

So his attitude is, you dare to send Kidd out for a new person to come back, and I will also apply for a deal!

Look at the absence of Kidd and the absence of me, you guys take the head to sell tickets!

This time, it really panicked the Nets management.

After all, the Nets are just a small team in New Jersey, unlike the Knicks and Lakers, which can make a lot of money even if they are bad.

If there is no Kidd and no Carter, do you expect Jefferson to sell you tickets?

Not to mention the merchandise sales that Carter brought.

As for forcibly leaving Carter behind?

I'm sorry, he's Vince Carter!

How did people get to the Nets in the first place? It is the Lord who forced the Raptors to sell at a low price in the Raptors' negative game!

If it were anyone else, the management wouldn't care too much, but if it was Carter, don't panic!

And this time, Nets fans are also on Carter's side.

The reason is simple, they don't want Carter to go!

If that's the case, although it is difficult to compete for the championship, but a perennial team in the top half of the year suddenly becomes a fish belly, which fan can stand it?!

As a result, the management of the Nets, especially general manager Thorne, was about to be sprayed by their own fans.

In the end, Nets management couldn't bear the pressure and announced that they had withdrawn from the three-way deal.

It's like a gust of wind blowing, whew, it's a little cool, and it's slipping away~

The Nets slipped away, and the Bulls and Mavericks were back at the beginning of the negotiations.

Maverick: I'm out of Kobe and Dampier, and you're out of Paul and Chandler.

Bull: Paul is not for sale, everything else is talked about!

Lone Ranger: I'm not interested in anything other than Paul and Chandler!

The two sides can't get along, the Nets want to try to find a third party, but they have to be star-level guards, and they are ready to trade, where is this to say that there is!

As a result, this deal is going to be a little unnegotiable!

……

Sun Hao couldn't have imagined that this transaction would end up like this.

In fact, he really thinks that the Bulls are a great place to go for Kobe.

Even from the perspective of the Bulls, Paul is out!

Bet on Rose behind a hand, Ross plus Kobe, he is also very strong!

Well, but this can only be thought about, after all, the butterfly effect, and he can't guarantee that the Bulls will definitely pick Rose.

And Kobe Bryant's personality is estimated to be bad for a year.

This deal may really come and go like the wind, gone.

It's just that in this way, Kobe's transaction will become confusing again.

The Wizards' ...... It's really a bit of a show!

It is estimated that the management of the Mavericks and the Bulls are there to draw circles and curse the Wizards management and Maddie.

But no matter what, the wood is done, and Kobe's deal can only be temporarily over.

It was at this time that the league ushered in a more important event: the official announcement of the All-Star bench list.

East: Arenas, Ray Allen, Pierce, Carter, Anthony, Bosh, Howard

Counting the previous starters, this should be the most luxurious 12-man roster in the East in NBA history.

There's even a whole bunch of missing gems: Kidd, Paul, Billups, Joe Johnson......

The intensity of competition in the east is definitely much more intense than in the same period in history.

West: Nash, Iverson, Kobe, Deron Williams, Nowitzki, Stoudemire, Pau Gasol.

Compared with the east, the west side is also starry.

And one thing that's interesting is that just as Anthony won the championship earlier than James, Delon entered the All-Star Game earlier than Paul!

As in previous years, the release of the substitute list is always inevitably a burst of saliva, which can be regarded as a cooling down for the trading market.

Of course, it's just about cooling down, and it's impossible to stop.

At the same time that the list was announced, there were rumors that the Nuggets were interested in Big Ben and were interested in trading JR Smith as the main body of the trade.

The deal proposal is not out of the question.

The Warriors have started the clearance sale mode, selling Jamison, and putting Richardson on the shelf a few days ago.

Let's talk about Big Ben, Big Ben joined the Warriors with a big contract this summer, which is a small record on the inside.

Never before in the history of the NBA has a blue-collar worker been paid such a high salary.

But it turns out that without the Pistons' defensive system, Big Instinct has done a lot less than expected.

This is also expected, in history, the big contract was with the Bulls, and then it was sold to the Cavaliers not long after playing.

After going around and around, it turned out that he really couldn't get away from the pistons.

The words "system player" fit him very well.

But even if it is a system player, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

In an era when center forwards are scarce, he is still a favorite for some championship contenders.

For example, the Nuggets.

The Nuggets' interior combination, Cambiga Martin, is actually not bad in terms of data and reputation, but he has no power to fight back against O'Neal.

If the Nuggets want to get past the Lakers, they will have to strengthen their center.

If this can be replaced by Big Ben, it will have a chance of winning against the Lakers, and it will have a complete chance of fighting against the Celtics!

Speaking of JR Smith, the air dodge and turn lever against the Lakers was amazing, and even Jordan was amazed.

Some fans even compared his physical talent to Jordan because of this.

The words "famous" also fit him well.

So this deal is viable.

It's just that the deal has been passed for two days, and there is no follow-up.

The main reason is that Nelson Sr. is not very interested in JR Smith!

Looking at Nelson's previous trades, you can see how much he prefers Durant, and the players he gets in exchange for are not possessing the ball.

This JR Smith is sticky and hot-headed, and even if he has physical talent, he can't get into his eyes.

After going around in a circle like this, the fans have a bit of a headache.

Because it has been more than a week since Kobe Bryant applied for a trade, it is light and windy and thundering, and it doesn't rain!

Or some veteran fans have experience, this is still early before the trade deadline!

Even if this year's trading came a little earlier than in previous years, the climax of the transaction must still be the deadline!

If you start staying up late and waiting for a deal now, you really have to shout directly like Tiger Pounce JRS: Doctor, is there still a vacant bed in the hospital? Nurse, refill my bottle!

So until then, let's watch this year's All-Star Game quietly!

A yellow-green battle in advance?

How can such a game be missed!

The All-Star Game is approaching, and the trading market is quiet for a while.

Just when there were only two days left before the All-Star Weekend, the Mavericks suddenly announced that Kobe's trade was completed!!

The previous day-to-day trading rumors made it impossible to distinguish the true from the false, and this one caught people off guard.

Those tiger pounce JR who just entered the hospital were discharged directly en masse!

But when I saw the final trading plan, most people's reaction was: yes, I didn't think of it!

Facts have also proved that those previous trading rumors are not in vain!

Because this deal is a four-party deal!

And in these four parties, there are also Nets!

In other words, the previous wave of transactions that fell through because of Carter's remarks has made a good warm-up for the current wave of transactions!

The specific scheme of the four-party transaction is as follows:

The Nets sent Kidd to Elton Brand and Sam Cassel;

The Clippers sent Livingston, Sem Cassel and Elton Brand to Kobe Bryant and Fisher;

The Warriors sent Ben Wallace to Livingston, Dampier and Austin Crohill (expiring contract);

The Mavericks send Kobe, Dampier and Austin Crohill (expiring contract) to get Kidd and Big Ben!

This deal, for the Mavericks, is more suitable than the previous three-way deal!

Even, it can be said to be rich!

This is also the most critical reason why the Mavericks are willing to send Kobe Bryant to the Clippers!

Big Ben, Champion Center, 4-time Defensive Player of the Year!

For the Mavericks at this stage, this is clearly better than the 24-year-old Chandler.

And the final year of the big contract is a team option, and the length of the year is much shorter than Chandler's.

Let's take a look at the Mavericks' starting lineup after the trade: Kidd, Raga Bell, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, Big Ben!

Also on the bench were Devin Harris, Daniels, Barria, Diop, Devin George.

As long as a sixth man who can score is properly traded, this lineup definitely has the strength to compete for the championship!

The other three parties to this deal are also completely taking what they need.

Say the most critical Nets.

Although Kidd is gone, Kassel and Brand are coming!

Needless to say, Brand was 25+10 last season, and this season because of Gasol's arrival, the data has declined, but it is also a solid 20+10.

Let's talk about Kassel.

Maybe only some old fans know that this guy is the member who won two consecutive championships with Olajuwon!

Moreover, as a sophomore, he defended his title in Houston, and Tomjanovic was the sixth man on the team the season when he shouted "Don't underestimate the heart of a championship"!

This season, at the age of 37, he can still deliver 15.2 points and 5.3 assists in the Clippers!

It can be said that he is definitely the ultimate representative of "the older the more demonic" in the point guard!

The Nets traded Kidd for these two, and the point guard strength has declined, but it can still be seen, and the important thing is that the interior line has finally been strengthened!

When Jefferson returns from injury, this lineup still has a dozen in the East!

This time, Carter had no further objections, and he immediately tweeted his welcome to Cassel and Brand.

After playing for so many years, I finally ushered in an inside line that can play!

Look at the Warriors again.

Big Ben replaced Dampier, which is definitely a loss.

However, Dampier is also a veteran of old Nelson, and if he can find the instruction manual, he still has some strength.

After all, Dampier was only 31 years old at this time.

And if it has been decided to level Durant first, who will grab the board and not grab the board?

Of course, Dampier is just an add-on, and the real target of the Warriors in this wave of trade is Livingston!

This tall guard that the Clippers were reluctant to play when they replaced Garnett is definitely a sweet one!

His ceiling is much higher than Calderón's!

In other words, the Warriors used to focus on cultivating Durant, but now, they can cultivate Livingston and Durant!

And Livingston belongs to the first pass-first guard, which is a good match for Durant!

Finally, let's talk about the Clippers who couldn't ask for it, and finally got it!

Before the Clippers offered the whole team to pick the Mavericks, they were not interested, and the worried management was at a loss.

Fortunately, the Bulls' failed three-way deal can be regarded as opening the door to a new world for them.

And after this big trade, the Clippers still have Gasol, and Bynum, who has shown good potential this season.

In addition, Fisher, the perennial Kobe Bryant's best partner who came with Kobe, as long as he changes to a small forward, some of this lineup will play.

Of course, the most important thing is.

Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant is back!!

ps: The monthly pass has fallen out of the top five, and the brothers have a wave of monthly ticket support, thank you in advance!!
