Maddie was sent to the Wizards!

It's like a long flash of lightning streaked across the sky before a storm, and then a thunderclap explodes on the ground.

The fans in the forum really don't have to sleep tonight!

"T-mac, Yao! Next season's winner is Washington's! ”

"It's crazy, two-time scoring champion plus second center in the league, this is the new OK combination!"

"Don't ignore Richard Hamilton, with him, you don't dare to wrap Yao or T-mac, it's scary to think about!"

"Mg, Richard, MMR combo!"

"Wes Broad is the dumbest general manager in the league! He has personally created an invincible opponent for himself! ”

"I really can't figure out why the Magic are doing that, just like I can't figure out why they can't keep Shaq and can't recruit TD!"

"As an Orlando fan, I said I'm used to it, and our management always does the dumbest things at the most critical moments."

"I don't think the Magic team loses...... Arenas is talented, Mobley is an instant force, and the Magic have a chance to make the playoffs next season. ”

"Pistons, Pacers, Wizards, next season, the East will be bigger than the West!"

"It's really Romance of the Three Kingdoms!"

"Maddie is now decided, what about Kobe?"

……

Not long after the deal was announced, the time has come to July 1, and the NBA free agency officially opens.

However, the NBA has a rule called the "July freeze period".

The freeze period arises because the league needs to make a calculation of last season's income and expenditure to arrive at the exact salary cap for the new season.

During the freeze period, players can enter into a verbal agreement with the team, but cannot formally sign a contract.

This freeze period has been changing, starting with a full month of July, then shortening to 18, 17, 16, and then all the way to 14 days.

This season is also the first time in the history of the NBA that the freeze period is only 14 days.

For teams, that means they have the shortest amount of time ever to deal with free agents.

However, after the free agency market opened, everyone else was remarkably quiet, except for players like Camby and Rashid Wallace, who were 100% sure to stay and reached a verbal agreement with the home team.

The reason for this is naturally because of the Lakers.

Until the Lakers are done with their business, the league landscape could change at any time, and they naturally have to choose their next home depending on the situation.

On this day, Kuban received a call from Bass Jr.

On the phone, Buss Jr. chatted about the possibility of a trade between the two teams.

Bass Jr.'s proposal was to trade O'Neill for Sun Hao and Gala Frentz.

If Cuban needs it, the Lakers could add a little more to the trade or a second-round pick or something.

He didn't mention Nowitzki, because he knew that Cuban liked Nowitzki, and mentioning it would only make Cuban disgusted with him.

But even so, Cuban quickly rejected Bass Jr.'s offer.

"Jim, there's no reason for me to trade a 32-year-old veteran with a player who just got the FMVP, a 22-year-old player, even if it's Shaq."

Kuban's words, very realistic.

Sun Hao is only 22 years old, and he has just completed his rookie contract with the Mavericks, even if he renews the contract with the highest salary, his salary is even lower than that of Finley of the same team.

On the other hand, O'Neal is 32 years old, but his contract for next season is $27.7 million, which is directly above the salary of the last two Sun Hao.

Of course, the latter ones are what he didn't say.

Little Bass touched his nose with ash.

West's advice to him is unreliable!

He had to think of something else.

A trade with the Heat is an alternative.

Even if the whole money is opened, he hopes to exchange it for the closest value.

It's just that after a circle, he found a very cruel reality.

Although O'Neal is still the league's No. 1 center, he played very well last season.

But with his age of 32 and a salary of 27.7 million, many teams are reluctant to come back too much.

After all, O'Neill is the inside line.

The decline in the level of interior players after the age goes up is much greater than that of the outside line.

Even if he is a big shark like never before.

It seems that sending O'Neal to the Heat is the only option.

After realizing this, little Bas was somewhat helpless in his heart.

To be honest, most of the things that Kobe Bryant does now are very immature, plus the Eagle County incident, and this time the palace incident.

If there was a choice, the Lakers would not choose Kobe.

But the Lakers were on the wrong side and didn't have a choice.

It's just that in this way, I don't know how much the Lakers will pay for Kobe Bryant's maturity.

Perhaps the only consolation is that Bryant is a superstar of the "perverted" level of hard work.

Such a person, as long as there are no major injuries, not to mention surpassing, it is definitely okay to chase Jordan.

That's the only thing to talk about with comfort.

"Shaq, I can only wish you a happy stay in Miami!"

Although helpless, little Bas could only say so in his heart.

Such an ending may not be bad for both sides.

He called Kupchak to his estate.

Now that it's been decided, it's a quick knife to cut through the mess.

This is also what West taught him, that hesitation will make things appear a lot of uncontrollable factors.

After explaining to Kupchak, he was ready to report to his father.

The reason why he said it at this time was because he knew that the old Bass liked Kobe very much.

His father would be happy to hear such a result.

However, after picking up the phone, he hesitated for a moment and called West first.

"I didn't make it, I'm going to send Shaq to Miami."

West was his mentor and friend, and had already made the final decision, so it didn't matter if he talked to West about it at this point.

"Isn't Mark Cuban interested in Kobe?"

West's next words silenced Bass for a while.

He didn't understand what West meant.

West is such a smart guy that he realizes from Bass's reaction on the phone that the two may have had some misunderstanding before.

He probably overestimated Bass Jr. a little.

O'Neal, the Mavericks certainly won't want it.

So what he said before was to let Bass Jr. try to exchange Kobe for Sun Hao.

"Bryant wouldn't agree to go to Dallas, he doesn't have Dallas on his list."

After Bass Jr. reacted, he quickly said.

The reason why he didn't think of this possibility before, as he said, was that the probability of this possibility was too low.

Let's not talk about whether Cuban is interested in Kobe.

In the city of Dallas, Kobe Bryant, who is used to Los Angeles, is afraid that he can't accept it.

Not to mention, Cuban's love for Nowitzki, Kobe Bryant is not necessarily a big boss.

Taken together, these points doomed Kobe Bryant not to agree to go to Dallas.

You must know that Kobe Bryant is now a complete free agent, and his own opinion represents everything.

"Kobe Bryant will be willing to go, you just have to say something like this to him......"

Little Bas was stunned after listening to West's words.

He suddenly found that all the things he was thinking about were vulnerable to West's words.

Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy.

West's perspective on the problem is completely different from his own.

However, even if Kobe Bryant can be done, that is only the first step.

What he really needs to get right now is the Cuban.

Although Sun Hao is also a free agent now, he is a restricted free agent.

Cuban didn't agree, and Kobe Bryant would go in vain even if he wanted to.

He first went back to the living room and asked Kupchak to stop for a moment, and then called Kuban again.

No one answered.

He put his phone aside and waited for Kuban to call back.

"Jim, did the Mavericks change their mind?"

Kupchak was curious.

Little Buzz smiled and waved his hand, but didn't say anything.

Kupchak saw that he didn't say anything, and knew that the matter was estimated to be over, so he didn't ask again.

After a while, Kuban didn't answer the phone, and Bass Jr. called again.

This time Kuban took it.

"Kobe Bryant's grandson?"

This time, after hearing Bass Jr.'s proposal, Kuban noticeably paused.

Although, Sun Hao is only 22 years old; Although, Sun Hao was "hand-picked" by Jordan as the head of the five quarterbacks; Although, Sun Hao just won the FMVP.

But, that's Kobe Bryant after all!

When someone tells you that they want to trade Kobe Bryant to you, everyone will hesitate.

Regardless of personality and off-court factors, in terms of overall personal strength, the current Sun Hao is weaker than Kobe.

"No, I wouldn't agree to that."

However, after thinking about it again, Cuban rejected Bass Jr. again.

Kobe Bryant lowered his value in the playoffs last season, and Sun Hao also has the Chinese market bonus.

"Anyone, anyone else you can ask for this team except Shaq."

Bass Jr. didn't give up.

Kupchak, who was sitting opposite Bass Jr., was stunned for a moment after hearing this, he didn't expect Bass Jr.'s determination to be so great.

However, he did not know the relationship between Bass Jr. and West.

West's vision, little Bass would not have questioned it.

You must know that the "mastermind" behind the original OK group was West.

"You must be kidding, if I trade Sun for Kobe, ask you for two first-rounders, even Ariza, who you just drafted, and even give you a big contract like Finley, would you probably agree?"

Cuban felt that little Bass was still a little childish at times.

It's kind of funny for anyone to say that in a transaction.

So he said a plan that Bass Jr. couldn't have accepted at all.

"If that's the stakes you're asking for, I agree."

“……”

But what Kuban never expected was that little Bass actually agreed!

This guy is crazy, right?

"I'm not kidding."

"No one is joking here."

“…… I'm going to think about it. ”

After making sure that Bass Jr. wasn't joking, Cuban said he wanted to think about it.

This matter really has to be considered.

There's so much at stake in this deal.

When he saw little Bas hang up the phone, Kupchak couldn't help but look at him for a while.

Kobe Bryant, who also has 2 future first-rounders, Ariza, has to eat a half-garbage contract.

He also thought that little Bas was a little crazy this time.

But he couldn't say anything, the Bass family's business, he was just a part-time worker.

Little Bas exhaled, took two pieces of gum out of his pocket, and chewed on.

If it's really this chip, the price is a bit big.

But in fact, what he is doing now is just getting Cuban to take the bait.

After all, a real deal must require both parties to sit down and negotiate non-stop.

It is impossible to say that the two of them just said a few words.

This may be the only way to stop your loss.

Although Sun Hao's current combat power is not as good as Kobe, Sun Hao's image is good.

In a big city like Los Angeles, being well-set means a lot of things.

And Sun Hao still has a huge Chinese market, and the Chinese in Los Angeles are not comparable to places like Dallas.

Thinking about it, when Yi Jianlian played in high school here, the attention was actually very high.

If Sun Hao can really come, it is foreseeable that it will explode directly.

Even, during the previous All-Star Game, Sun Hao and O'Neal's inside and outside cooperation looked great.

While a short glimpse doesn't say much about a big deal, it's at least a good sign.

Besides, if the team gets along, Sun Hao can get along so well with Nowitzki, and it shouldn't be a problem with O'Neal.

He thought about it, and couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Jim, why don't you call the boss first?"

Kupchak looked at the corners of Little Bus's raised mouth and couldn't help but remind.

If Buss Sr. knew that Buss Jr. had traded Kobe Bryant away, he would have been furious.

"I'll talk about it later."

Of course, Bass Jr. knows this, so this thing must be cut first.

Moreover, this matter is really not a word, at most a little bit.

……

Dallas.

The Kuban is in an infinite tangle.

In the end, he made a phone call and called old Nelson to his estate first.

Although the two used to quarrel because of this and that.

But when it comes to the team's trust, he trusts Nelson Sr. the most.

After all, the management of this team can really take charge of itself, that is, the old Nelson.

Cuban didn't say anything specific on the phone, so Nelson Sr. looked puzzled when he arrived.

He was not idle during this freeze period.

Retrieving Nash is also on his radar, but the question is how to convince Cuban.

As a result, when two people face each other, they look like they want to talk and stop.

In the end, it was Cuban who spoke first.

"Just now the Lakers called me and said a trade proposal related to Sun."

Kuban really spoke, and he didn't drag the mud and water.

He still does things very capably.

Hearing that it was related to Sun Hao, all the things that old Nelson was thinking about were thrown aside.

"Sun is not for sale."

He said directly.

After more than three years of getting along, he knows Sun Hao's talent and ceiling.

Not to mention anything else, being able to suppress Nowitzki and become the boss of the team by virtue of his strength is not something that ordinary superstars can do.

Sun Hao has infinite possibilities.

"The Lakers took out Kobe Bryant."

Cuban continued.

"There are two future first-rounders, including Ariza, who they drafted in the first round this year, and the one you said you wanted in the previous draft but was cut off by them, and they're willing to take Finley."

Kuban added in one breath.

"I disagree!"

Old Nelson stood up directly at this time.

His face was already flushed. (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
