A few days later, the whole league was completely lively.

On the first day, the news broke that the dynasty's main control Rondo was traded, and the Pirates reached a deal with the Los Angeles Clippers to send the dynasty's main control Rondo in exchange for a 10-year first-round pick from the Clippers.

Rondo was traded, and fans are not unacceptable to this, after all, Chris Paul was traded before, not to mention Rondo, who is not as valuable as Paul.

What really unacceptable to them was that the Clippers gave them a single first-round pick......

This is a pie-in-the-sky event for the Clippers, who aren't worth a lot of first-round picks.

For the pirate team, it is a loss to grandma's family......

In the major NBA forums, fans in the Clippers section have praised Richard in various ways, and they simply praised Richard as a god.

And the Pirates section is all kinds of tangled......

If it weren't for Richard who had just led the team to build a dynasty, I'm afraid everyone would have scolded him.

As soon as the deal was reached on Rondo's side, the Dallas Mavericks immediately made an official announcement that they signed Marion, the Buccaneers' chief backup small forward, for five years and $40 million.

This signing, Pirate fans are not unacceptable, after all, Marion is old, their Pirates still have Granger, there is no need to give Marion such a long-term contract.

But before they were happy, the Portland Trail Blazers made an official announcement, and they gave Granger a four-year, $68 million maximum salary contract.

Chris Paul, who joined the Buccaneers with Granger at the same time, is now on a four-year, $68 million contract with the Grizzlies.

Granger was signed by the Trail Blazers, which means that the Pirates did not match the contract offered by the Trail Blazers, which means that from now on, Granger is a Trail Blazers player.

This made the Pirate fans a little devastated, Marion was gone, it didn't matter, but now that Granger is gone, the problem is a big problem.

You can't let Batum play the starting small forward, right? This newcomer is good, but he can't compare to Granger.

Fans finally understood why Richard would choose so many forward players in this draft, and he dared to feel that he had long planned to give up Granger and Marion.

……

What made fans even more devastated was that the Trail Blazers made an official announcement the next day.

The Buccaneers sent Oden and Ingram in exchange for Kevin Durant from the Trail Blazers.

Auden was also sent away? Pirate fans are going crazy, they feel like the end of the world is coming early, they don't have to wait for 2012, it's the end of the world.

As a result, the Buccaneers' championship lineup went straight to most of the team, and the five starters went straight away, which can be said to have never happened in the entire history of the NBA.

The championship squad cannot be dismantled, this is the consensus in the NBA circle, if it can be dismantled, it will not be dismantled, even if it is really dismantled, it is helpless, for example, the Warriors let Barnes go in the future, first, Barnes's asking price is too high, and second, they can get Durant, in this case, they gave up Barnes.

And the current situation of the Pirates team is obviously different from the warriors of later generations, and the current Pirates team does not have any salary pressure.

Oden only entered the league in '07 and can still play two years of child labor for the Buccaneers, Roy can also play one year of child labor, and because Marion's contract expires, the Pirates can also renew Granger with the maximum salary.

If nothing else, at least in the coming season, the Buccaneers' roster will not change much, and they can continue to maintain a strong dominance.

But Richard is clearly thinking longer, and he wants a more secure future.

……

Kwame Brown also left the team, which didn't make a big deal out of the conversation.

However, if the Buccaneers count Ingram, the championship team has already been sent away by six.

Ingram was sent away, in fact, it was also Richard's helpless move, he just got four forward players, and then Ingram will definitely be difficult to get a chance to play, it is better to give it to the Trail Blazers for nothing......

If you really want to sell Ingram, in fact, no one wants to ask for it, and it is estimated that a second-round pick will not be exchanged, so Richard will not waste that time.

……

Not long after the turmoil, only three days later, the pirates also issued an official announcement.

And it also released two official announcements in a row.

The first is that the Buccaneers signed Iverson to a one-year, $3 million contract.

This news made many Iverson fans rejoice, although this contract is really a little pitiful, but Iverson can taste the championship.

Over the years, Iverson has played in the Eastern Conference finals and the Finals, but he has never tasted a championship, and now after joining the Pirates, I hope Iverson can get a championship ring before the end of his career, drawing a successful end to his career.

The second official announcement is that the Buccaneers signed Szczebiak on a veteran base salary contract......

Szzebiak is also a veteran player of West Lafayette, one of the original Purdue nine-star lineup.

But after entering the league, Szzczebiak's development is not particularly ideal, although he also played an All-Star Game, but the peak period is too short, after joining Green Kai in 06, it has begun to decline, and then wandered to the supersonic in 07, and wandered to the Cavaliers in 08......

At the end of this season, the Cavaliers did not choose to renew Szczebiak's contract, and under normal circumstances, Szczebiak would choose to retire this offseason.

And now he obviously has a better option, that is, to join the Pirates, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, the main thing is to taste the championship.

Originally, Brad Miller saw Iverson and Szczebiak coming, and he wanted to come too......

As a result, the Bulls did not let go, and now Miller is playing as a substitute center in the Bulls, although the state is far from being as good as in his prime, but the Bulls do not want to lose Miller in vain.

There was no way, Miller had to wait until the end of the following season before joining the Pirates.

Richard picked four players in the draft this year, and then with the addition of Iverson and Szczebiak, there were exactly six players, the same number as the number of departures.

Although the number of teams has not changed, there must have been a significant decline in strength, not to mention anything else, at least the dominance of the penalty area has dropped by a level.

Although the offensive firepower of the point guard position has been strengthened, the defense and organization have also declined a lot.

If this Buccaneers team is to play the kind of dominance that they did last season, it will definitely take a short run-in period.

……

"What? What did you say? Inside McMillan's office, Durant was dumbfounded.

On the morning of the Trail Blazers' official announcement that Oden and Durant had swapped owners, McMillan called Durant into his office.

Durant didn't really think much about it before he came, because the Trail Blazers officially announced Granger's signing the day before, and Durant thought that the team was looking for him to talk about ball ownership.

Durant is good at this aspect, and he doesn't like to fight for the ball very much, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable with the addition of Granger, and he doesn't have the idea that his position is threatened.

But he never expected that the team was looking for him to inform him that he was traded......

If it was only traded, Durant would have gritted his teeth and admitted it, but the key now is that he was traded to the Pirates and traded to Richard's men.

Thinking about what he said at the press conference before, Durant felt like the sky was about to fall......

"How is that possible? When did you negotiate this kind of thing? ”

"Don't tell me this deal was only negotiated in the last few days, I don't believe it!" Durant is going crazy.

He feels that this deal may have been in the works for a long time, because the trade between him and Oden is not child's play, and the two of them are some of the best rookies in the league today, at least among the players who have entered the league since the class of '07, no other player has been able to play like them.

This kind of blockbuster deal can't be talked about in a few words!

"Ahem, Kevin, isn't it something you want to join the Pirates and play for Richard?"

"Do you think I might know about when we got this talked? This is all between the boss and Richard, how can I intervene. McMillan said with a smile.

He naturally knows when this deal will be negotiated, but he can't say it at this moment, if Durant knows that he was negotiated and sent to the pirates at the beginning of last season, I'm afraid Durant can go crazy.

……

Durant looked confused, and now his mind is full of what to do, although he didn't say anything disrespectful to Richard before, but he shouted several times to lead the team to defeat the pirates.

Now it's embarrassing, and the team I said I was going to beat became the team I was going to play.

"Can you cancel the deal? Believe me, I'm sure I'll be able to lead the team to a good result. Durant was a little anxious.

He can imagine what it would be like when he joined the Pirates, and even if Richard didn't talk about himself, those Pirate players probably wouldn't give him a good look......

McMillan shook his head, what a joke, this deal is now to be done and not to be done.

In fact, McMillan is the beneficiary of this deal, the team has Oden and Granger, and he is about to develop as a head coach.

With such a lineup, the Trail Blazers' record will definitely soar next season, and then their head coach position will be secured.

……

Durant left McMillan's office in despair, eager to slap himself in the mouth, why did he get into the water in his brain in the first place, and he had to be in the limelight.

Well, now, I don't know what awaits me after joining the Pirates.

He didn't want to follow Mourning's example and refuse to report to the team, because of the introduction of Mourning's law, if he did this, let alone Richard, even Stern would not let him go.

"It's miserable, it's miserable, why is my life so miserable!" Durant grimaced, full of apprehension about his future.
