After chatting about business, Kobe Bryant and Sun Hao walked around the beach again.

Los Angeles in January was a little cold, but Sun Hao could see the heat in Kobe's eyes.

Sun Hao can feel that for Kobe, as long as he is in Los Angeles, no matter where he is, it is a happy thing for him.

……

Until he separated from Sun Hao, Kobe Bryant did not say his final decision.

Just like when Sun Hao suggested that Bryant take the initiative to ease relations with O'Neal in Hawaii, he reacted.

For Bryant, neither of these things was so easy to decide.

Looking at Kobe's back, Sun Hao was quite emotional, and he didn't know where the two would meet outside the arena in the next game.

……

It's the end of January.

The trade of several stars is still in the rumor stage, but at this time, the All-Star voting officially ended, and the starting list of the East and West was officially released.

East: Wade, Maddie, Yi Jianlian, Garnett, Yao Ming;

West [Tick fo] Department: Sun Hao, Hill, James, Duncan, O'Neal!

This starting list is acceptable to the eastern side.

In the second round, Ray Allen and Pierce overtook and entered the starting lineup, which was the impact of the formation of the Big Three.

This shock is more of a novelty.

Although the Celtics' record has improved a lot, the trio's stats together have inevitably declined, especially Pierce and Ray Allen on the outside.

Not all fans who vote will watch the game, and many people will vote for Maddie and Wade, which are more beautiful.

Coupled with the huge energy of the Chinese fans, this start is also expected.

But the result on the western side can only be described in four words: incredible!

Hill, in the end, really beat Kobe Bryant and Iverson to be elected as the starting guard!!

This directly blew up the fish pond!

"The evil Chinese fans have once again dominated our All-Star vote!"

"Look at this starting list, how many Chinese elements are in it!"

"In the future, the All-Star Game will be moved directly to China, anyway, this is what they want to see!"

"Huh? Didn't you vote for Hill? I voted! ”

"Vote, what the hell are you shouting, shouldn't you vote for Hill? This may be the last time he will be an All-Star in his career! ”

"I also voted, you don't understand those orgasms, this is feelings!!"

"That's it, everyone around me voted! That's youth! ”

"What a youth! Can Hill Na stats make it to the All-Star Game? ”

"What is the All-Star Game so serious! I'll just vote for Hill, what's the matter? ”

"The vote is in my hands, you don't care who I vote for? Why don't you care who I vote for in the election? ”

……

It's just that in this wave of fried fish ponds, the voices of support from local fans in the United States are obviously louder than those against it.

As they say, Hill is both feelings and youth for them.

This is the same as when you vote for who is your favorite singer, Jay Chou's name will definitely dominate.

It's just that in this way, Iverson and Kobe Bryant looked a little embarrassed.

Their All-Star starters were interrupted!

Although with their strength and influence, it will certainly not be a problem to be selected as a substitute this year.

But there is still a difference between starting and coming off the bench for a star of their calibre.

It's just that before fans waited for the substitute list to come out, a piece of news broke by ESPN that drew everyone's attention back to the trading market again.

Kobe Bryant has officially submitted a trade request to the Mavericks!

The Mavericks also put him on the injury list after communicating with Kobe Bryant himself.

There was no conflict between the two parties in this process, and it was a very standard peaceful breakup.

This also means that Kobe Bryant has left the Mavericks and entered the countdown!!

This result is not too surprising for Sun Hao.

Whether or not Kobe Bryant listened to what he said, it was unlikely that he would stay in Dallas again.

The management did not take his opinion seriously, and the manager was at odds with him.

Now he can still have some initiative to apply for trading, and if he trades passively in the future, it will really be completely up to him.

So Kobe, where will he go?

This is probably the issue that everyone is concerned about after this news was broken.

But there will definitely be a process for this thing.

In fact, just after this news broke, many teams in the East and West have asked the Mavericks for their price.

The Mavericks also made the offer they wanted: an equal one or two stars.

The message is clear: the Mavericks have no intention of rebuilding.

It's normal to think about it, Nowitzki is at his peak, how can Cuban let the team rebuild at this time!

And the Mavericks dared to agree to Kobe's request like this, which also had something to do with another person.

Josh I'm ugly but I'm strong Howard!

Because of Kobe's existence, Howard can only play as a substitute on the Mavericks.

But his talent and strength, the bench can no longer meet his requirements.

Especially his style of play, strong defense coupled with sharp breakthroughs and explosive dunks, make Dallas fans love this ugly-looking man.

Strength, popularity, and the touching story of the disabled legs when he was young and saved by surgery, he will be a good replacement for Kobe.

What's more, Kobe Bryant can also exchange one or even two stars for them.

So a careful analysis of one, a super insider, or a super point guard, will be the most in line with the requirements of the Mavericks.

In this context, teams have begun to make offers.

For example, the Suns.

The Suns are in a bit of a quandary right now.

I have the strength, and I can play in the regular season, but it's always almost interesting in the playoffs.

Now there are only two ways for them to change:

Either lower the tempo appropriately and change to a super interior line to compete with the main competitors of the Lakers, Spurs and Celtics;

Either continue to improve offensive talent, for example, try another Kobe;

The Suns' offer to the Mavericks can be described as lucrative.

They gave Marion, Barbossa and Dio a deal as the main deal!

An All-Star Insider, Two Best Sixth Man!

If the chips were to be traded for Garnett, the Timberwolves might have agreed.

However, judging by the reaction of the Mavericks, they are not that interested in this trade proposal.

Although Johnson likes to let Nowitzki play center, everyone can see that if he wants to break through from the West this season, he must pass the Lakers, and Marion and Dior will have to sit on the bench at that time.

If that's the case, then Nielsen Jr. is the stupidest general manager ever.

There is another reason, the Mavericks don't want to send Kobe Bryant to the West without giving up the season and entering a rebuild.

This is also a key factor.

Because to give you reinforcement, you are making it more difficult for you to break out of the west!

Of course, Kobe Bryant is now like a stunner wearing a proud face, a sexy body, and a three-point outfit, looming in the face.

The Suns were rejected, and they still can't stop other teams from craving him.

The Clippers, another team in Los Angeles, were also quick to make an offer, and their offer was much more thorough than the Suns.

Just one sentence: the whole team, pick whatever you want!

You want an inside line, I have Gasol and Brand here, you can pick one of the two.

You're going to be a point guard, I've got Supernova Livingston here!

What the? Earlier I said Livingston is not for sale?

That's because you're not out of Kobe!

It's not that the current Kobe Bryant is much more valuable than Garnett's trade, but because he is Kobe!

For Los Angeles, Kobe Bryant's popularity is still very good, not as good as O'Neal and Sun Hao, but it is also a proper third existence.

The Mavericks, there is some interest, but still not very big!

Livingston has talent, but not immediacy.

And the two problems that have been left in question remain.

This deal, depending on the situation, will not be concluded for a while.

And because of Kobe's deal, many of the previous rumors have stopped.

Obviously, those teams are trying and waiting to see.

The trading market was also rare for a while.

But it's more like the calm before the storm.

On this day, Sun Hao and O'Neill sat on the sidelines and chatted as usual after training.

"Where do you think that kid from Kobe Bryant is going to go?"

O'Neal seemed to care a lot about Kobe's appearance.

As the saying goes, enemies are actually enemies, and they all think about each other.

What's more, "The Lord of the Rings" Russell had asked O'Neal to ease the relationship with Kobe, and he did it.

"What do you think?"

Sun Hao took a sip of water and looked at O'Neill with a smile.

"I think anything is possible except the Lakers."

O'Neill's words also caused Sun Hao to laugh out loud.

That's fine!

"I think he's most likely to go east."

"I can guess that."

O'Neal also apparently knew that it was unlikely that Bryant would stay in the West any longer.

Although Kobe Bryant has many problems, he is the best guard in the active service except for Sun Hao.

The chances of the Mavericks keeping him in the West as an opponent are low.

"Bryant's most important thing should be Chicago, and the most likely place to go is New Jersey."

Sun Hao said his guess.

"Why these two teams?"

O'Neill looked confused.

"Kobe Bryant is Jordan's number one fan, and if there is an opportunity to go to Chicago, he will definitely go."

Sun Hao said firmly.

Kobe Bryant never admitted that he was a fan of Jordan when he was still playing, but in fact everything he did was imitating Jordan.

Including in history, in 2007, when the Lakers made a trade turmoil, his first choice was Chicago.

Just as Sun Hao thought in the draft, go to Chicago to build another Bull dynasty in a ruin.

That must be the greatest thing of Kobe's career.

Well, of course...... Now there is Paul there, and it is not a ruin.

"Then Chicago is going to have Paul."

O'Neill took over.

"It doesn't have to be, Chandler Gastojakovic, at most Granger or something, Dallas should agree."

The trade proposal that Sun Hao said has the center that the Mavericks want most when he is playing, a stable off-ball shooter, and a talented newcomer.

Even if the Mavericks ask for more draft picks, the Bulls will most likely give them.

If the deal really happens, Kobe Bryant and Paul, this luxury backcourt combination in history that failed to make it due to "basketball reasons" is worth looking forward to!

And they also retained Yi Jianlian on the inside, and it is not impossible to break out of the encirclement in the east.

"Then why do you say that the most likely place to go is New Jersey?"

O'Neill then asked.

"Because of Kidd, even without Kobe, there are still a lot of people in Dallas who can score, and what they lack the most is actually the playmaker, but ......"

When Sun Hao said this, the words changed.

"It's not a good deal because New Jersey doesn't have enough leverage."

Even if Kidd is three years younger, the current Kobe Bryant is not as dazzling as the same period in history, and this one-for-one exchange will not be exchanged.

In addition to Kidd, the Nets have Carter who still has trade value, but the Nets won't do it for two-for-one, and the Mavericks won't want Carter now.

"Then just give Kidd and Chandler to Dallas."

O'Neill said suddenly.

"Huh??"

Sun Hao was stunned for a moment, but immediately he smiled and patted O'Neill's shoulder.

"Shaq, you're such a genius!"

That's right, three-way deals!

The Nets take Harris or Granger, Gappeja;

The Bulls eat Kobe Bryant and Dampier;

As for the Mavericks, take Kidd and Chandler!

The best of all three worlds!!

The Nets and Bulls aside, the Mavericks started Kidd, Bell, Josh Howard, Nowitzki, and Chandler after such a trade.

This lineup is very similar to the Mavericks lineup in the 10~11 season in history!

The difference is that they are all much younger!!

This is by no means a single-core lineup, at least it is also a lineup of 2 with 2 with 2 A's, and the combination is very reasonable.

The Lakers are really much more difficult to play this kind of team than when they played the previous Kobi Nowitzki combination.

The more Sun Hao thought about it, the more he felt that this was the most likely!

"Kobe, I think I'm going to be happy."

Thinking of the end, he couldn't help but say.

……

Two days after Sun Hao and O'Neill finished chatting, a piece of news broke out in the alliance.

The Bulls, in talks with the Mavericks about a Kobe Bryant!

According to media reports, Kobe Bryant is also interested in going to Chicago!

"If I could go to Chicago, it would be very rewarding for me."

Bryant is now on the injury list, which means he no longer plays for the Mavericks, and he is not shy about trades.

Soon, though, the two teams disagreed on the trade.

Because the Mavericks want to directly trade Kobe Bryant and Pierre for Paul and Chandler!!

This trade is definitely the best option for the Mavericks.

Kobe Bryant was also sent to the East, and the guards and centers were all strengthened.

The point is, you can still eat Paul's rookie bonus!

Because Josh Howard is facing a contract extension next season, it is also the healthiest salary option for the Mavericks.

It's just that the Bulls don't want to send Paul out.

Although he is only 1.83m, Paul has already shown his talent for leading the team.

If Paul also sends it away, then even if he gets Kobe, plus Peja and Yi Jianlian, it will be difficult for such a configuration to make a big difference in the current East.

Just when the trade stalled, the Bulls turned to the Nets.

Heard you're going to point guard?

I heard you came up with Kidd?!

I'm here to match you!

A three-way deal proposal soon surfaced.

In this training session, O'Neill, who had just watched the rumors, looked at Sun Hao with the following eyes: (⊙0⊙)

That's like saying: You're here for spoilers!!
