Chapter 534: Transaction Successful!
Because of Mutombo's interview, the NBA is very lively now, even more lively than when Mourning was traded!
The Golden State Warriors are not the same as the Chicago Bulls.
The Chicago Bulls finished first in the East in the regular season last season and finished runner-up in the playoffs, and the addition of a superstar to such a team certainly makes it feel like the NBA has ushered in a finale.
Just like when Barkley went to the Rockets, the Rockets, who formed the Big Three at that time, everyone was also shouting that the NBA ushered in the finale.
The Warriors were seventh in the West last season, and even adding a Mutombo out of thin air wouldn't make people feel good.
Although the Warriors' Sprewell, Tim Hardaway, and Chris Mullin are also three All-Stars, the Warriors are also a Big Three team.
But now who in the entire league doesn't know that these three stars of the Warriors don't like each other, and the team's former head coach Nelson Sr. and the team's former future Webber are the victims of this infighting.
Webb was thrown by the Warriors to the league's worst Washington bullet, and the team's head coach, Nelson Sr., left the team for New York.
Although Webber, who made the most trouble, was still left by the Warriors, the 'good baby' Sprewell had already been polluted by Weber.
Without Webber taking the lead, although Sprewell didn't dare to do big things, but small things like dissing the team's assistant coach from time to time were really a lot.
This is also the main reason why last season, the Warriors, who were obviously very strong on paper, only played seventh in the West and made a round trip to the playoffs.
The Warriors' lineup is starting point guard Tim Hardaway, starting point guard is Sprewell, starting small forward is Chris Mullin, starting power forward is Gogliota in exchange for Webber, and center is Secali.
It's a three-All-Star lineup with two quasi-All-Stars, and even in the West it's not just seventh.
So, in the eyes of others, the Warriors have never lacked strength and talent, what is lacking is just a head coach who blends player strength and talent.
Therefore, the Warriors went to poach Lakers assistant coach Adelman, and everyone can understand that Adelman is also one of the famous coaches after all.
But is it necessary for the Warriors to get Mutombo?
Of course it's not necessary, Mutombo is not the interior that the Warriors need at all!
After the Warriors and Adelman reached a coaching contract, they simply don't need to put a purely defensive block maniac at their No. 5 position!
They are indeed looking for a trade now as the team's new head coach Adelman is not very happy with Sekali.
In Adelman's tactical system, the team's center forward cannot be like Sekari.
However, even if Adelman is not satisfied with Sekari, he will not lose his mind and go to Mutombo!
There are only two Adelman favorites.
One is the Heat's center Divac.
One is to use Sekari to trade a lottery pick, the top draft pick in the lotto area, to sign Wang Zhizhi.
Originally, if Mourning was traded to the Heat, then the Heat agreed to complete a three-way deal with the Warriors and send Divac over.
But in the end, because Mourning went to the Bulls, it was impossible for the Heat to trade Divac, so this option naturally did not exist.
So, after renewing Sprewell's contract, the Warriors have been looking to trade a draft pick in the lotto zone.
They really have no interest in Mutombo!
Whether the Warriors are interested in Mutombo or not is not something that the Warriors themselves will believe.
At least, the Nuggets, who just teamed up with the Warriors not long ago to crack the defection case of Sprewell and Mutombo, are quite unhappy for the Warriors!
After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be all your conspiracy!
In the end, no matter how much the Warriors explained, no matter how much they said "I don't, it's not me, don't talk nonsense", there is no way to make people believe it.
Sprewell is the Warriors' future leader, and your team's big man and Mutombo have both been interviewed jointly, so what is there to deny?
Besides, wasn't Mutombo already married to Sprewell before?
Now because the commercialization of the NBA has just begun to enter the peak, the NBA's contract is very chaotic, but scenes like the Warriors, Mutombo and Nuggets are still rare.
In particular, Mutombo said that if he can't go to the Warriors, then he doesn't guarantee a contract extension.
That's terrible!
In the current league, there are many excellent interior lines, but there are not too many who are better than Mutombo, so everyone still has a great demand for Mutombo.
But the trade came to Mutombo just to play for a year?
It doesn't matter if it's a competitive team, like the Lakers, even if you can only keep Mutombo for a year.
Because these teams already have a core of the team, there is no need to rebuild around Mutombo.
The trade came to Mutombo just for the sake of immediate combat power.
But those teams that are ready to rebuild with Mutombo as the core will not work, and you will run away after a year, so why should I give away my chips!
It can be said that the statement of Mutombo and Sprewell in the interview made the Nuggets management who wanted the lion to open his mouth half angry.
After Mutombo's statement that he was only willing to play with the Warriors came out, of course, there were still people who were willing to try a trade.
For example, the Lakers and Hornets, two playoff powerhouses that lack a center, have submitted trade requests to the Nuggets.
But these two teams have a gross trade chip!
The whole world of the Lakers knows that this team has no value other than Lin Han, Eddie Jones and Van Exel.
And what about the Wasp? This team has more valuable players, but in addition to Larry Johnson and Kukoc, they don't need other so-called valuable players!
Larry Johnson and Kukoc, how could the Hornets possibly send it out!
And the other valuable players of the Hornets are not as good as Van Exel, which the Lakers sent.
To be reasonable, the Nuggets never thought of trading with the Lakers or the Hornets before.
But being fooled by Mutombo like this, those teams with high draft picks in their hands will not take high draft picks to bet on Mutombo at all.
In this case, the Nuggets have no way to trade with those bad teams, only those strong teams.
And those strong teams, the lack of excellent centers are only a few such as the Hornets and Lakers.
What good chips can you pick for one of these teams?
It's fair to say that as soon as that interview between Mutombo and Sprewell came out, the Nuggets were originally active, but now they have become very passive.
You can't really smash Mutombo on your hands, can you?
The Nuggets are very, very passive right now, but that doesn't mean they don't have other moves.
Originally, they would have traded Mutombo for such a thing, and they would no longer have let Mutombo participate in it.
But soon, after this interview statement came out, the Nuggets opened a ban on other teams that could contact Mutombo.
The Nuggets' meaning is obvious, that is, they want those teams with better chips to convince Mutombo directly.
The Nuggets don't want to stop Mutombo from going to the team they want to go to right now.
Now they just want to get enough in return from Mutombo.
And that's why Mutombo's deal is even more hilarious than Morin's!
Mourning's deal, although Mourning is stronger than Mutombo, but because of the special requirements of the Hornets, many of them want to participate, but they can't participate.
What does that mean?
Meaning, Hornets don't need too good chips!
The Hornets don't have the money, and the Hornets really don't need All-Star-caliber players who have had contract extensions in recent years.
There is also no need for those high-pick picks, and these rookies are now also offering lion wide openings, and the contract requirements are too high.
And those ordinary lotto draws are really not as good as Kukoc, whose current age and ability are in the top five in any given year.
Arguably, Kukoc happens to be the player who best fits the Hornets' requirements.
There is potential, strength, and a long contract.
Although the number of contracts is not small, the Wasp is completely acceptable!
Therefore, after the Bulls are willing to send Kukoc, other teams simply do not have any ability to compete with the Bulls for Moring.
But Mutombo is different, although Mutombo has already said that the non-Warriors will not go, but now that the Nuggets have opened, they can completely convince Mutombo.
Use your best conditions to convince Mutombo.
Including salary, the status of the team, the team's support for him, and so on, they can go and paint a big pie for Mutombo.
With the Nuggets being very open to Mutombo, all NBA fans were watching with amusement the pie that these people promised to Mutombo.
Even some flatbreads have been reported by the media, and even some fans who don't know much about football have laughed directly.
For example, the whole team supported Mutombo to brush the data and brush up a scoring champion.
For example, some of last season's lottery teams even said that as long as they had Mutombo and made up for the weakest part of the team, the team could help Mutombo win the regular season MVP!
These teams make such promises that even fans who don't understand the game won't believe it, and Mutombo naturally won't believe it.
As for the Nuggets, they are sneering and observing from the side.
Especially when you see the teams that promise Mutombo to go to them, they will win the scoring title, win the MVP, and win the team.
The Nuggets are already sneering and ready to take a hard slap out of these teams.
Aren't these people's promises to Mutombo just slapping them in the face?
Co-author Mutombo can't win MVP, can't win the scoring title, can't win one team, can't win two teams, can't even win the best defensive player and three teams, it's all because of our Nuggets' fault?
Is it that we won't use Mutombo, and we delay Mutombo?
You don't want to think about what kind of player Mutombo himself is!
Olajuwon, David Robinson, O'Neal, Ewing, or even Mourning, which one can he beat?
Three formations? Second formation? Best Defensive Player? A? Top scorer? mvp?
Since you say that Mutombo's future is so bright, then you have no problem paying some price for Mutombo, whose future is so bright, right?
At least 10 teams in the league are now privately contacting Mutombo with the Nuggets' permission.
But it's the Warriors who care most about the Nuggets.
However, at this time, the Warriors did not make any movement, which also made the Nuggets feel like they had eaten flies.
The Nuggets are unlikely to send Mutombo to the Warriors, but they are also expecting the Warriors to make an offer and then they will open their mouths.
If you want Mutombo, you can exchange Sprewell for it, and the Nuggets only need Sprewell!
It's just that what makes the Nuggets very confused is that the Warriors really haven't moved at all, which makes the Nuggets wonder if the Warriors are ready to want Mutombo.
But soon, the Nuggets management's doubts disappeared, and their hearts became more hateful.
"Deacon Bey told me that the Warriors don't have to pay any chips for him, he will be 99% free to join the Warriors next year, and he doesn't have any interest in the promises that many teams give him right now."
This time it was another interview between Sprewell and Mutombo in the Golden State, and it had become Sprewell who spoke, and Mutombo was on the sidelines.
Sprewell's meaning is obvious.
So, after Sprewell said this, the teams that were crazy about Mutombo quickly quit with regret.
The Nuggets, who were going to make a deal on Mutombo, found that in the end, when Mutombo was definitely unwilling to renew his contract, the only ones who were willing to trade Mutombo were the Hornets and Lakers.
The Hornets and Lakers didn't care if Mutombo signed a contract extension, so they didn't even think about convincing Mutombo to stay.
The entire league knows that the Hornets simply don't have the money to renew Mutombo's contract.
They want Mutombo, in addition to filling the vacancy of Mourning, but also using Mutombo's one-year contract to clear the team's salary space.
The reason why the Nuggets didn't directly reject the Hornets is just because the players the Hornets want to clean up are not bad.
Therefore, judging from the chips given by the Lakers and the Hornets, the Lakers are naturally better.
At least one of the team's three less, Van Exel.
But the Nuggets are hesitant, they really don't want Mutombo to go to a good place and a championship team like Los Angeles.
The two sides have been torn up like this, and they can't break up too well.
It was only very soon that the management of the Nuggets changed their minds.
"Lin, the Lakers are pursuing Deacon Berg right now, and a lot of teams think that next season Deacon Berg can compete with you for the scoring title and MVP as long as their team goes to you, do the Lakers think so too? Does Deacon Be have the strength to be an MVP and a scoring champion? ”
"Deacon Bay? mvp? Top scorer? I'm friends with Deacbeth, and I think he's pretty good, but Deacon Bethel is still honest about grabbing rebounds, huh, if he comes to the Lakers, I can guarantee that next season, he'll have enough frontcourt rebounds to grab."
After Lin Han disdainfully accepted the interview, he walked into the training hall with Penny Hardaway.
The day after Lin Han said this, the Lakers and Nuggets reached a deal for Mutombo.
