Chapter 130: Kuban Clapper
After nearly half of the teams in the east are removed, there are only a few teams left!
The Washington Wizards themselves don't have any decent interior lineup, otherwise they wouldn't have such a bad record with Arenas, Jamison and Caron Butler, only finishing fifth in the East!
Orlando Magic has a super strong inside, that is, Howard, the monster, but the Mavericks want it, and people have to change it, it is obvious that Howard is more than one level stronger than Li Tuanjie!
This time, three times five divided by two, in the end, the only thing that really made the Mavericks owner Cuban excited was the offer of the Pacers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Pacers' offer was Jeff Foster, and the Bucks' offer turned out to be their No. 1 pick from last season, Andrew Bogut!
When the Mavericks management heard about the Bucks' offer, they instantly fell silent!
In terms of data, it may be that the Pacers' Jeff Foster is a little better fit for the Mavericks, but Bogut is not far behind, and Bogut is in his second season in the league!
In last season's draft, Bogut was elected the top pick, what a high-spirited one, he compared himself to Duncan Australia, and said a lot of things that made people look very arrogant!
As a result, after the rookie season, Bogut's statistics are far from Duncan's, which also makes countless Bucks fans very disappointed with Bogut, and even many over-the-top fans are definitely the historical parallel champion of Cambyqua and May Brown!
Bogut's strength is indeed difficult to compare with Duncan, but it is not weak to the point of being a historical parallel import!
In his rookie season, Bogut averaged 9.4 points, 7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 26 minutes per game, and his performance was actually okay, showing good scoring rebounds and low-post adaptability......
What really makes Bogut criticized is his block stats, which average less than one per game, so it seems that Bogut's defense should be at the bottom of the inside.
In fact, Bogut's defensive lateral movement speed and ability to assist under the basket are actually at a good level, and because of his height and tonnage and very tough ball style, if he is blocked under the basket, he also has a lot of deterrent power for those super scorers who are good at breaking through, although the block data is ugly, but he is by no means an interior player like Eddie Curry or Zach Randolph.
The most important thing is that Bogut is also in his rookie period at the moment, and if the Mavericks want to get Bogut, it is very convenient, and they can directly use Li Tuanjie and Bogut for a single exchange, instead of the Mavericks pulling other teams to make multi-party transactions and pay additional costs such as cash or draft picks!
And Jeff Foster, although the current rebounding strength is stronger than Bogut, but the strength is limited, not the kind of difference in rebounding strength, these subtle rebounding strength gaps, the Mavericks can fully afford it.
Defensively, Bogut is bigger, a lap bigger than Jeff Foster, and more intimidating!
And Jeff Foster, as a rookie in '99, is now past his rookie period, and he must be carrying a higher contract than Bogut.
On the one hand, Bogut, who has potential to be tapped and has a lower salary, and on the other hand, Jeff Foster, who has reached the limit and has a higher salary!
In the case of similar strength of the two, I am afraid that as long as the Mavericks management does not make stupid mistakes, they will definitely choose Bogut!
In case Bogut plays the top value next, then the Mavericks will really make a lot of money in this deal, even if Terry and Josh Howard leave the team next season, the Mavericks can still maintain the competitiveness of the team!
"Ahem, can I say a few words?" Nowitzki coughed lightly twice and said to the management on the spot.
"Tell me, Dirk, I'd like to hear from you too!" Cuban said with a smile that he and Nowitzki were good friends in a pair of pants.
"Okay, then let me say a few words, I think we should trade with the Bucks, this is good for our team and for Li Tuanjie, it is a win-win deal!" Nowitzki said solemnly.
The management at the scene nodded, Nowitzki's words were understood by everyone, and the next thing is only to see Cuban's choice.
If you trade with the Bucks, the Mavericks will not only get a good interior lineman, but also have a chance to fight for the future, what if Bogut plays the top worth? The Mavericks will still be a strong contender for the championship for years to come!
Jeff Foster, on the other hand, has basically reached the limit, and it is indeed more cost-effective to trade Bogut compared to the two.
The second reason is that the Pacers have O'Neal Jr., the league's top interior line, O'Neal Jr. can play center or power forward, as the leader of the Pacers, he definitely needs to occupy a lot of inside ball possession, and if Li Tuanjie really wants to come out, it is absolutely impossible to have no ball, so joining the Pacers is not a good thing for Li Tuanjie.
On the contrary, it is the Bucks, the Eastern Fish Belly team, the leader of the team, Mike Reed, plays the quarterback position, and Li Tuanjie does not conflict, with the strength of Li Tuanjie, the Bucks can fully stand on the script, and it must be the starting position, as long as the next performance is outstanding, it is not impossible to be corrected by the team and become the new King of the Deer!
……
Li Tuanjie thought carefully in his heart, he and Xia Fangfei had also studied the situation of the teams in the league these days, and naturally took into account the Bucks.
Joining the Bucks is not particularly good news for Li Tuanjie, after all, the Bucks have a small ball market, and the locker room environment is not too good, the boss Mike Reed has no leadership temperament, can't hold people down, and the players under his hands have some signs of gangs.
But in any case, if you join the Bucks, it is definitely more suitable than joining the Pacers!
You must know that Jeff Foster played most of the time as a substitute with the Pacers, and if Lee Tuanjie joined, it was not certain whether he could play as a starter at the beginning.
"Compared to the two, the Bucks seem more suitable, and depending on the situation, maybe I will eventually join the Bucks!" Li Tuanjie thought silently in his heart.
Although joining the Bucks is not the best choice, Li Tuanjie can also accept it, and it belongs to the middle and upper choice!
"Well, I thought about it, Dirk's words are not wrong, if you trade with the Milwaukee Bucks, it is a win-win choice for our team and Li Tuanjie, Li Tuanjie, what do you think of this deal?" Kuban is tantamount to the opening of this deal!
10,000 alpacas galloped past in Li Tuanjie's heart, you have made a decision, what else can I think......
