On December 14, 2011, the Lakers first used the mini-middle class to sign Elton Brand, who was cut by the 76ers, and then used Bynum as the core chip, plus Derrick Fisher, an unprotected first-round pick in 2012, and a protected lottery pick in 2014, to get Chris Paul from the Knicks.

The Magic sent Dwight Howard to the Magic's rookie center Nikola Vucevic, two unprotected first-round picks from the 76ers in 2012 and 2014, and a top-five first-round pick in 2016.

The two trades were broken by Google Sports reporter Wojkina Wowski almost at the same time this morning, and it was surprising enough that the Lakers traded Bynum for Paul, who is recovering from an unknown injury, and they all thought that the Lakers would trade Bynum for Howard.

Unexpectedly, when Howard and the management were about to fall out, the Magic team didn't want Bynum of the Lakers, but only needed the 76ers to send Howard away in three first rounds!

It's as shocking as the four-way trade about Howard in the original plane, and the Magic don't want Iguodala and don't want Bynum.

When Paul George arrived at the stadium, he habitually took out his mobile phone to swipe the news, but he didn't expect to see such two transactions, and hurriedly wanted to find someone to share the shock, but it was too late to call, he remembered the team's first second leader who came to the stadium to train, and immediately ran to the training ground, and sure enough, when he saw Sun Ce, he immediately told him about it.

Sun Ce hurriedly went to check and really completed the transaction!

This......

Sun Ce was still thinking about whether the 76ers would want Bynum if they had the core combination of three outside lines? After all, when playing the Bulls, the 76ers are short of the inside, and if the 76ers meet the Heat in the playoffs, the inside line is also very important, no matter how strong they are on the outside, they can't be better than Wade + James.

Good guys, the 76ers got Howard directly!

"Paul, do you think Howard will be happy when he goes to the 76ers?" Sun Ce asked Paul George next to him.

"Huh?" Paul George was asked at a loss, what is it!

Who wouldn't be happy to go to the 76ers, who is the absolute core of the interior line, who is not happy? The strength of the outside line is second only to the Heat, and the Thunder can break wrists.

Sun Ce glanced at Paul George with the eyes of a mortal, this guy doesn't understand anything!

Aside from the 76ers, who looked to make a lot of money in this deal, Sun Ce noticed the Magic's eye for the center...... What a word!

Originally, in the summer of 2012, the Magic team didn't want Bynum or Iguodala, and they couldn't guarantee the 11-12 season to play on the bench with the 76ers.

As for the Lakers......

Sun Ce looked at the comments on the Internet, and there were two opinions that he felt were very reasonable.

One of them is that Zen Master went to the Knicks to be president, he doesn't like short guards as the core, this is the consensus of fans for more than ten or twenty years, so he sold his girlfriend a face, but the Knicks don't seem to be losing, getting two first-round picks, and Bynum, the third center whose efficiency was not lost to Yao Ming last season, and his beloved Fisher.

The second view is that the Lakers have become a loser, and it seems like this at the moment, Bynum played so well last season, the third center is solid, and in the case of Yao turning 30 next year, Bynum is expected to become the second center in the new season, which is used to trade for Paul, who has suffered two consecutive years of knee injuries in his left and right legs...... Also comes with two first rounds!

This deal is indeed not favored.

However, Sun Ce knows that after Paul is injured again, he will completely transform into a floor stream, and he still has the strength to compete for the first point guard, and the Lakers did not move Odom and Big Gasol!

Then it is very likely that Odom will not go to a lot of drugs and overeating to become a dead fat man, and the mentality of Pau Gasol will also be stable, and Pau Gasol was still the No. 1 center in the East in 2015......

There was also a small trade where Zen Master's love sent Luke Wharton to the Cavaliers for Cavaliers point guard Ramon Sessions.

Sun Ce checked the Lakers' official website, and the deal was reached, the Lakers' official website list has been updated, and the Lakers' guard line currently has Paul, Blake, Kobe, and Capo, who will be injured at least in late January, and two second-round picks, Darius Morris and Andrew Goodlock, if Paul does not come back, it is okay, comeback...... It's awesome.

In the frontcourt, Barnes and Artest are the main forwards, Odom and Da Gasol are the core inside, and the Lakers also signed Troy Murphy, who averaged 14 points and 10 rebounds per game in the 09-10 season, and Murphy was won by the Lakers on a very low contract last season because of his poor performance due to injuries.

At the same time, he also poached Josh McRoberts, a good power forward from the Pacers, with a mini-mid-class.

The Zen master did not take Odom and Pau Gasol, but asked for Bynum, who had just turned 24 at the end of October, and the Lakers would definitely not give up if they could get Paul, after all, Kobe Bryant dragged on for one year less than one year.

That's interesting! Sun Ce felt that this should be the Zen master's confidence in Bynum, after all, it was the potential center he had personally brought for six years...... After playing for 6 years, there is still potential, and whoever let Bynum enter the NBA is not yet 18 years old.

However, the potential is as strong as Bynum, and it took 6 years to really play without the identity of the absolute core, and the playing time and the patience given by the team, Sun Ce feels that these two points are too important for a player.

As for whether the Lakers will be stronger because of this...... Sun Ce can't control it, relatively speaking, he thinks that the Lakers with three towers are more difficult to deal with, Paul is not in the Hornets, the Lakers are unlikely to have a situation where Gasol's mentality exploded and Odom gave up on himself because of the failure of the trade, maybe the opponent's three towers will also rise against the trend because Bynum played the second center and was selected for the second team, after all, the new coach of the Lakers Mike Brown has a very good defensive end, with three towers, and they are all big men with good defense, and the Lakers' interior defense is still a headache, especially their Grizzlies.

Now without Bynum, the Lakers' interior strength has dropped a notch!

Whether the Lakers will become stronger, Sun Ce can't control it, just watch the excitement, although Kobe Bryant is also very good at playing without the ball, Sun Ce remembers the 50 games that Nash played with the Lakers in the 12-13 season, Kobe Bryant hit more than 50% during the partnership with Nash, but unfortunately Nash was absent due to injury, and there was no continuity, it seems that if Paul comes back, Kobe is expected to play the best efficiency of his career a year in advance......

But he can question Kobe Bryant if he doesn't have the ball and can't play, no.

Watching the excitement......

……

After the other Grizzlies players came to the arena, they also looked at the two transactions with a lively mentality.

As for whether the opponent will become stronger...... There are always strong opponents, and if you come to a trade and say, "Oh they're amazing, what are we going to do......", then just don't play.

At most, I was surprised, it didn't affect how they played, and it didn't affect their careers, there will always be trades, there will always be strong opponents, and after a long time, they will get used to it, so they don't have to fight for a "what combination is stronger" like the fans, and if they can win, they will be stronger.

And the outside world, as Sun Ce thought, the 76ers are regarded as blood gain, and the Magic team has become the "first center training base", and some people say that the Magic team "has backbone" and did not send the first center to the Lakers.

And the 76ers' defense ...... Now it looks like it's going to explode, and although Howard was revealed to have a back injury after playing in the playoffs last season, it hasn't seen much of an impact yet, and it really hasn't had as much of an impact as it will be in two years.

On the Lakers' side, some fans called Paul + Kobe Bryant a dream combination, and some questioned that the two were incompatible.

It's just a superstar at this level...... Wade and James are two nanny players, both of whom are compatible with each other, before they cooperated, they were both well-known nanny players with a high ball handling rate, and they grasped everything at once, but in the end, they also cooperated very well, sacrificing the ball, Sun Ce didn't think that Paul and Kobe Bryant were incompatible.

On the other side, Sun Ce thought of Holiday + Iguodala + Howard's defense, and he felt that James might have been confused.

Evans + Iguodala + Howard ...... It's another sense of déjà vu of the Big Three.

When Sun Ce smelled the smell of another Big Three that appeared in front of James, the deal about the Big Three really came.

At noon, the Celtics reached a three-way deal with the Clippers and Rockets.

The Celtics sent away Ray Allen to get the Clippers' backup small forward Michael Petrus and the Rockets' 2013 first-round lottery pick.

The Rockets traded Billups + a 2013 first-round pick for air, only getting Reggie Evans from the Clippers.

The Clippers sent Michael Petrus, Reggie Evans, and got Ray Allen and Billups.

Subsequently, the Rockets had another news, their new general manager and head coach Kevin McHale cut Al Jefferson with the Arenas version of the amnesty clause agreement, Al Jefferson was clamoring for a buyout as early as the summer, the NBA did not go to Houston to report after the resumption of operations, he had 3 years left on his 4-year contract, the team option was gone in the last year, and he only took 25 million with 34 million left in the 2nd and 3rd years of the contract, and he was stunned to leave.

Rockets owner Alexander is now in a mess by Morey, and after firing Morey, there is no way to get Sun Ce to open source and revive the ball market, so he can only start from throttling, send Billups away with two years left on his fully guaranteed contract, and agree to pardon Al Jefferson, looking forward to getting Sun Ce in the future.

……

Feeling sorry for James for three seconds, Sun Ce returned to training.

As for the Rockets' sharp operation, they suddenly lowered the total salary below the salary cap, and they can free up the top salary at any time, Sun Ce can only praise the Rockets for their awesome operation.

Anthony and J.R. Smith became brothers......

However, after the afternoon training, Sun Ce saw an interesting piece of news.

On the Knicks' side, their head coach D'Antoni said he was going to play positional battles and put Jeremy Lin in the starting lineup.

In the playoffs last year, Jeremy Lin and Stoudemire worked well together, but Jeremy Lin was definitely far behind Paul and failed to win in the playoffs.

And because of the existence of Sun Ce and Yao Ming's retirement, Jeremy Lin's Chinese-American identity is not popular in China, and he can only play well at the end of last season, which is not amazing, and Jeremy Lin is not very popular in the United States.

But Jeremy Lin gave D'Antoni hope, Paul suffered two consecutive knee injuries, and the Knicks were really not optimistic about Paul's recovery, and traded him for Bynum, which was highly praised by the media and fans.

It's just D'Antoni as the manager...... Jeremy Lin + Stoudemire + Bynum...... Even if the Knicks have spent money to sign a lot of high-quality role players in the past seven or eight days, the core roster looks pretty good, but the head coach is D'Antoni, and Sun Ce feels that in the middle of the season when the schedule is so tight that it is difficult to breathe, the Knicks probably have another soap opera to watch.

What made Jeremy Lin what he did? Or did it destroy D'Antoni?

And Anthony's side...... Sun Ce didn't know what Anthony thought, and actually executed the player option in the summer of 2012, that is, he had to stay with the Rockets until the summer of 2013, and it is estimated that another soap opera is about to be staged.

NBA, there are always ups and downs, Sun Ce doesn't care so much, his team is too busy to want it, just look at the excitement, this year's preparation time is too short......

……

……

The brief free market and training camp, as a result of the big deals of several teams, pushed the fans' desire to watch the game to a climax.

Originally, because of the shutdown, some fans who were not particularly keen on basketball were lost, but the Big Three of the Green Army split up because of the conflict between Ray Allen, Rondo and Rivers; The 76ers got Howard, the Lakers got Paul, the Knicks got Bynum, and the Clippers got Billups and Ray Allen...... This series of transactions has once again stimulated the enthusiasm of fans.

This has stimulated the fan market, and the NBA popularity on the Internet is skyrocketing.

The Grizzlies, on their part, have been more or less influenced by public opinion, with a steady stream of media interviews asking about these trades, and the media unkindly asking why Chris Wallace and Coach Hollins didn't trade Gasol Jr. for Howard......

But the real impact is not much, the mentality is important, and on December 16, the Grizzlies are in New Orleans to prepare for the upcoming preseason.

The Grizzlies stayed at the hotel owned by Trump's family by the sea, and after putting their luggage in the room, Sun Ce came out to blow the wind, which was a little cool, but New Orleans is not cold here, and the livable conditions are not lost to Miami.

The seaside city is good, Sun Ce felt that the Hornets boss desperately wanted to leave Charlotte and move here, but there are unforeseen circumstances, people have good fortune and misfortune, and within a few years of coming here, they encountered a hurricane, and the real estate, tourism, casinos and other assets deployed here by the former boss of the Hornets since the 90s have all become waste paper.

In the past two years, the New Orleans economy has begun to recover, but the former owner can't hold on, and sold the team to the NBA headquarters in the summer of 10, and this year the NBA finally found its next home, Tom Benson, a wealthy man who owns several beaches in New Orleans, bought the Hornets for 308 million US dollars in April this year, in addition to the Hornets, Tom Benson also owns a 1 billion US dollar NFL club Saints, the Saints won the NFL championship in the 09-10 season, and the market value almost doubled.

After buying the Hornets, Tom Benson got the No. 1 pick, selected the talented Irving, and also used a protected first-round pick to acquire veteran Kidd, and the future is promising.

Sun Ce blew the sea breeze and looked at the Hornets' scouting report and looked at Irving's performance in college...... Injury hazards are specifically marked with an asterisk.

Just when Sun Ce noticed this and remembered that Owen was a big injured person, he saw a name that made him feel "bright".

Garrett Jack ......

The Hornets signed Garrett Jack on Dec. 9 to a full, two-year, $11.19 million mid-range contract.

How does this work...... In the eyes of others, the Hornets are trying to avoid Irving's injury problems, but in Sun Ce's opinion, this operation is surprising to him.

"What kind of psychology is this to sign back this Grim Reaper who goes where to go and where to be reimbursed? The new owner of the Hornets has a grudge against Irving, right? ”

……

By the afternoon of the next day, the Grizzlies' preseason game against the Hornets was approaching.

Although they don't plan to sign the 15th player right away, the Grizzlies have signed four free agents or development league players who have not found a job in training camp in the past few days, and even if they don't sign themselves, they have to give them some time to play, give them some opportunities to show their faces, and maybe they will be signed by other teams.

It's the kind of thing that every team does, and the opportunity is always given.

At 4:10 p.m., Sun Ce and his teammates entered the court of the New Orleans Arena, and Sun Ce met the new champion Lang Irving for the first time.

"Chris Irving, Ability A-, Offensive A+, Defensive C+, Passing A-, Three-point A, Mid-range A-, Layup A+......"

"Wow! The strength of the first-class edge in the rookie year? That's right, he can make it to the All-Star in his second year of playing on a bad team and his personal performance, or in the East where guards are crowded, he can't do it without strength, he has nothing to say about his personal ability, his skills are good, but he ......"

Sun Ce looked at Irving's ability evaluation, looked at the muscular tough guy point guard on the Hornets bench who looked like a tall version of Fisher, and couldn't help but look at the opponent's new core with sympathetic eyes.

On Irving's side, the Timberwolves and Kings didn't win the No. 1 pick, and he came to play in a beautiful South Coast city, feeling too good all summer.

It was the richest city on the South Coast back then! The rebuilding is also fast, and he's looking forward to playing well quickly and then attracting stars to join him in the years to come, like the big man in Los Angeles, who has been friends for a long time......

Playing the Grizzlies today, a preseason game is broadcast live across the United States,. T TV also interviewed him before the game, and Irving felt that his career started well, and the team brought him back Kidd as a substitute, as well as a powerful veteran David West, which was simply beautiful.

Just when he was thinking about performing well in front of the MVP backcourt combination opposite in the next national live broadcast, he felt a sympathetic gaze......

Turning his head to see Sun Ce's sympathetic gaze, Owen was confused...... What does he have to pity now? He, Owen, is much luckier than this guy who has been locked up in Meng Village all his life!
