177. Men's Romance (Asking for a Monthly Pass and Asking for a Subscription)
Just when the main players on the Warriors' side of the trade were entering a sleepless night, the deal finally came to light.
Originally, the news of the Sun Ce + Curry vs. Jennings battle dominated the front pages of major sports media, and the three rookies had a lot to write about.
But because of this sudden deal, the headlines immediately became the content of the deal!

On the night of November 15, 2009, the Warriors and the general manager of the Bucks reached a deal, and the 54th pick rookie Sun Ce and the second pick rookie Hashim Thabit swapped owners!
Very crisp and neat deals, and the details were quickly revealed.
The Warriors and Bucks completed the deal in the middle of the game! That is, to skip the deal completed by the old Nelson, the head coach and president of operations!
The Warriors sent Sun Ce, a 2010 lottery pick, and got Hashim Thabit, the second pick selected by the Grizzlies this year!
The 2010 lottery pick sent by the Warriors to protect the Grizzlies will definitely not get it this season, and the Warriors will definitely not make the playoffs this season.
If you still can't get it, you will continue to move to the top three picks in 2012, and if you still can't get the top three picks in 2012, you still can't get the top three picks in 2012, and you will become an unprotected first-round pick in 2013.
In addition to this, there is another quite exciting thing, the old Nelson called the familiar media overnight that night to tell the familiar media, because he didn't like the deal, he resigned!
……
The trade between the Warriors and the Grizzlies occurred after Sun Ce got a triple-double for the second time this season, and after Sun Ce led the team to overturn the game of the same rookie who scored 55 points in a single game, it quickly sparked heated discussions.
The most discussed thing is, of course, which team made the money and which team lost.
However, this deal is very delicate, except for the lively discussion among fans, some experts and media who usually talk a lot are not as direct as commenting on other deals.
It's so hard to comment!
The 54th pick is replaced by a second pick, even if a future first-round pick is added...... It looks similar to Sun Ce's single exchange for Thabit!
A list pick can generally be exchanged for a fourth- and fifth-pick pick in addition to the top pick in the current year plus a mid-first round pick.
Just as the future Celtics traded the No. 3 pick to the 76ers with the No. 3 pick plus a future top-three pick-protected pick, the draft picks protected for the top-three picks are basically around the 10th pick, not too low, not too high, the picks in the middle of the lotto, the top-three picks are protected just in case of a hellish pick.
The trade value of the pick, and the selected pick, is certainly not as valuable as a first-round pick that has not yet been selected, so it seems reasonable to change to a top-five rookie and a future first-round lottery pick.
But, that is...... In this deal, Sun Ce was treated as a top-five rookie......
At present, it seems that this is indeed the case, counting Griffin, who was reimbursed in his rookie season, and the top five in this rookie class are undoubtedly Evans, Sun Ce, Curry, Jennings, plus Griffin, these five are the best performers so far.
However, compared to the fact that fans generally stick to their own ideas very extremely when they discuss, the media and experts have to think about it a little, and after thinking about it, it feels more difficult to comment.
The first is that Sun Ce is indeed not bad! After the first game of the regular season, he was regarded as a treasure left behind in the second round, and became the key to the resignation of Suns coach Steve Kerr.
Relying on the last two single-game scoring 20+, Sun Ce's average points per game have increased to 11.5 points, which doesn't look very good, with a shooting rate of only 39 percent, and after eight games, he averaged 11 shots per game and could only make 4.4 shots.
But there is also an average of 7.5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, which has fallen to an average of 6.5 rebounds and 6-point assists per game in the previous games, and has risen back by relying on the triple-double just got.
averaged 11.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 7 assists per game, and got rid of a rebounding strengthened version and a defensive jumping version of the rookie Kidd!
Kidd averaged 11.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game in his rookie season.
But Sun Ce is not as stable as Kidd's rookie season, he has a triple-double performance, but he also has a 4+3+2 performance, and at the worst time, it can only be said that he did not incarnate the point guard version of Gao Yuanyuan.
There are also a few similarities in that both of them have a shooting percentage of less than 40 percent, and they both make a lot of free throws, but they also don't hit free throw percentages.
Can Sun Ce maintain this performance throughout his rookie season?
It's hard to say, he played such a performance, many people think that this is related to the fact that he has just entered the NBA, and the opponent doesn't know much about him, and he doesn't even have college game materials, so he can't study it.
Of course, this is also true.
Many people think that when Sun Ce reaches the middle of the season and other teams are familiar with him, his stats and performance will decline, that is, he will encounter the so-called rookie wall.
Whether it can be crossed or not, no one can say.
But no one was sure he wouldn't be able to play.
After all, the talent Sun Ce has shown so far is really fantastic, and the Grizzlies will not suffer by exchanging the roster show for him and a future draft pick? At the moment, it looks like the Grizzlies are definitely going to suffer.
But with the twin towers of Randolph and Gasol Jr., the Grizzlies will not consider giving Tabit too much time to level up slowly when Tabit has not yet shown his ability.
The Grizzlies, who got Randolph in the summer, want to make the playoffs this season!
With Conley, Mayo, Gay, Randolph, and Gasol Jr., it's too much to say if you don't want to hit the playoffs, young players have improved so much, and they have an offensive core, it's time to make results, how can there be effort to develop rookies.
On the Warriors' side, it seems that it is not a loss to get a center that they currently lack and want the most, and only use a backup point guard who will definitely return to the bench when Ellis comes back, plus a first-round pick that will take me for an unknown number of years in the future!
For now, there are a lot of people who think that Tabit's lack of playing time with the Grizzlies is the same as the situation that fellow star Darko Milicic encountered with the Pistons, that is, two starters were too good.
Larry Brown's side is subjective and doesn't want to use Milicic, the Grizzlies have no choice but not to give Tabit playing time in the eyes of others, it's too difficult for the West to compete for playoff spots, Gasol Jr.'s talent doesn't look much worse than Tabit, and it developed quickly, and the moment they chose Tabit instead of Harden was the most surprising.
Now it looks like it's just a stop-loss.
The Warriors are seen as earned.
Again, the object of comparison is Milicic.
After Milicic left the Pistons, he has been abandoned for many years, and he can still contribute more than two blocks per game in 20 minutes of playing time, his defense is quite good, and he also has a soft shooting touch, and he can also explode with a star of Gasol's level in the international arena, but it has been delayed for too long in the NBA.
This is also the key to convincing others that he has talent by playing only four games since the start of the new season, averaging only 11 minutes per game.
Tabit has better mobility than Ilgoskas, the same height of 2.21 meters, and averaged 2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 11 minutes per game in 4 games......
Although I got it during garbage time, it looks pretty good at least.
With such height, such athleticism, and the fact that the draft template is Dibaken Mutombo, it's hard not to think about how to develop ......
This deal, on the contrary, gives people the feeling that the Grizzlies want to free Tabit and don't want to waste the potential of a talented center like the Pistons, and it is indeed making up for the mistake of not selecting Harden or Evans at the time.
Face is also a problem, if you use Thabit to exchange for Harden now, it is estimated that there will be drama, but face will really affect the occurrence of many things.
As for the exchange for Evans...... Neither Thabit nor Mayo can be exchanged.
And the direction of the trade between the two teams is clear, and the Grizzlies urgently need a backup point guard to lead the second team after the acquisition of Iverson was determined to be a recruitment failure.
The Warriors' core center, Beedlins, was abruptly scrapped, and it's understandable that the Warriors traded one of their two talented point guards for a talented center.
The news in the media is biased, the experts look at his ignorant analysis, and the fans are arguing in an extreme way, and everything seems so harmonious.
It's just that everyone is confused, how can the Grizzlies be willing to take a second-pick center to exchange for a rookie point guard?
Back then, the Pistons were reluctant to trade Milicic!
But there is one thing in common......
It's that if this deal is proposed by the Grizzlies, then the Warriors don't have any possibility of refusing!
Because no one thought that the Grizzlies would be willing to send away Thabit, who had just been selected and had only played a few games, there was no news of walking before, and Sun Ce had just played a beautiful game, but he was traded in the middle of the game, so the trade was so sensational, and even the team of the leader of a mysterious cursed organization on the West Coast was terminated and no one cared about the eight consecutive wins in the opening game......
If you win without headlines, if your winning streak is ended or there are no headlines, Wang Feng of the United States is going to cry......
……
……
"Coach, why are you leaving?" Sun Ce asked Old Nelson in the seat next to him.
"I'm tired of being a manager, I'm ready to go home and retire." Old Nelson had now calmed down, in front of the little ghost...... In front of the little ghost in his eyes, of course, he can't show a strange temper like in front of his old friend logo man.
Although the tone was very calm, Sun Ce heard a thick willfulness!
Old Nelson is so willful, after the deal was suddenly confirmed last night, Old Nelson directly notified the media and announced his resignation, and only after notifying the media did he notify the two bosses that he was going to resign.
And he was so willful that regardless of whether the Warriors agreed or not, he directly booked a ticket this morning and went back to Oakland with Sun Ce.
The Warriors had no success in talking with Nelson Sr. last night, and could only announce that Smart would be the interim head coach and would have a good talk with Nelson Sr.
But old Nelson doesn't give them a chance to talk about it! I didn't eat breakfast in the morning, so Old Nelson called a taxi, asked the hotel waiter to call Sun Ce, and went to the airport together, and Old Nelson also contacted Bill Duffy to book a ticket for the same flight for Sun Ce.
When Sun Ce went out, he didn't see Curry coming to see him off, and even when he got up early in the morning, Curry was no longer in the room.
Since the Warriors are going to Cleveland this morning, they will play the Cavaliers the day after tomorrow.
Sun Ce has been traded, and he is no longer a Warriors player, so he naturally has to do what he should do.
And after Sun Ce was traded, the two didn't talk much.
Men, naturally, they don't hug their heads and cry or anything, and there is no goodbye from their mother-in-law, or even heart-to-heart communication.
Because you don't need these things.
It's already a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to talk about it, and the two don't need those things to do for others to emphasize their relationship.
Sun Ce didn't want such a twisted goodbye, he felt that it was better, it was a kind of man's romance......
However, other teammates on the team who have a good relationship with Sun Ce, but not to the extent that they have such a close relationship with Curry, came to Sun Ce's room early this morning and expressed their reluctance to Sun Ce.
Morrow and Randolph, two sophomores, also enlightened Sun Ce for a long time, they saw too many teammates leave last year, this kind of sudden trade, Sun Ce, a rookie, is not used to it, but some sophomore players have already experienced this kind of thing, especially the Warriors, a team that wants to break the rebuild, they have changed more than a dozen teammates in more than a year, including teammates with good relationships.
When the waiter came to inform Sun Ce to go to the parking lot, several first- and second-grade teammates who had a good time put Sun Ce into a taxi.
On the way to the airport, Sun Ce thought back to the fact that he was suddenly traded, through this incident, although Sun Ce could not be said to have matured, at least he had grown.
……
The Warriors are also coming to this airport today to catch a flight to Cleveland, but more than two hours later than Sun Ce and Nelson Sr. left.
However, the Warriors had a guy who made airport security mistake him for an underage kid and arrived at the airport early.
watched the backs of Sun Ce and Old Nelson entering the security check from the fast lane, and secretly hid in the corner and watched.
He didn't want to admit his weakness.
When he heard Sun Ce say about being traded last night, he realized how accustomed he was to playing next to Sun Ce, he was used to predicting Sun Ce's sudden pass, and he was used to having such a good partner send the ball to him, and he could shoot freely without caring about anything else.
But now, it's different!
When the backs of the two disappeared from his sight, he silently made up his mind: "Everything has to be on my own!" ”
