Chapter 417: Little Steel Cannon Lowry joins
In addition to Marc Gasol, several newcomers to the Bucks are also doing very well!
Many teams have begun to gradually make trade offers to the Bucks, of course, Makgasol they have not made an offer, they know that with such an excellent potential inside, ordinary chips will definitely not be available, and the Bucks are unlikely to trade this interior pillar!
In addition to Marc Gasol, Wilson Chandler, a rookie, is the biggest target for many teams!
Wilson Chandler, who played nearly 20 games in front of him, played an average of nearly 15 minutes per game, but was able to contribute an average of 7.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.
If Wilson Chandler is given enough playing time, no one will doubt that he can average about 15+5+5 data per game, which is already an invincible performance for a rookie!
You know, this season, in addition to Durant, Al Horford and Marc Gasol, among the remaining rookies, Wilson Chandler's performance is enough to rank in the top five!
The key is that Wilson Chandler is not only comprehensive, but also very stable on the field!
For the teams to make crazy offers to Wilson Chandler, Li Tuanjie agreed, he is very clear about Chandler's future development, and knows that Chandler is indeed good, but it is just good, the whole career, basically the performance of the rookie season, there is no outstanding performance!
In this way, trading Wilson Chandler out, Li Tuanjie is not distressed.
At present, among the offers of various teams, there are two teams whose offers are more satisfactory to Li Tuanjie, namely Kyle Korver given by the Philadelphia 76ers, and Kyle Lowry given by the Memphis Grizzlies!
These two Kyles, Li Tuanjie is also a little unsure of who should choose who is more suitable......
Admittedly, Lowry's development potential is better than Korver's, but Korver seems to be more suited to the small-ball style of the league in the future.
Korver's rookie season has ended, and his current contract is about 20 million for four years......
Korver had a very good season last season, averaging 14 points in 30 minutes per game and shooting 43 percent from three-point range......
But this season, the data has shrunk a lot, the average playing time per game has been reduced to 20 minutes, the three-point shooting rate is only 35 percent, and the average score per game is less than 10 points!
According to the historical trajectory, even if the 76ers do not trade with the Bucks, Korver will not be able to stay with the 76ers, and he will be traded by the 76ers to the Utah Jazz......
As for the little steel cannon Lowry, his current data is actually not as good as Korver, this is the second year of his rookie season, as a rookie in the same class as Li Tuanjie, Lowry's development and Li Tuanjie are simply different!
In his rookie season, Lowry's average data per game was only about 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, which was not even a fraction of Lee's unity, and in this second season, because the Grizzlies got McConley in the draft, Lowry had no chance to perform......
This is also the reason why the Grizzlies want to sell Lowry, and they naturally don't want to keep Lowry if they don't need Lowry at all......
"Stotts, you go talk to the team management, first consider the Grizzlies' offer, let them come up with a first-round pick with Lowry as the main body of the trade! If you don't agree, you don't need to discuss this matter, go to the Philadelphia 76ers, you can have less points over there, it's best if you have a first-round pick, if you don't have a second-round pick, they will definitely agree! After thinking about it for two days, Li Tuanjie finally made a decision and gave Stotts an order!
……
The records of these two teams are very poor, and Li Tuanjie is eyeing the draft picks in their hands!
There is no doubt that with Wilson Chandler's rookie season, if these two teams are really optimistic about Wilson Chandler, they will definitely spend money!
A Lowry, at this time, is actually a rookie at the end of the first round who looks like he has no future, plus the Grizzlies now have Conley, they don't want Lowry at all, if they hand over a first-round pick, they can still agree, after all, a first-round pick, and you have to be very lucky to pick a rookie like Wilson Chandler who has proven his potential!
……
In the end, the Grizzlies didn't say a word, and agreed to the Bucks' trade offer!
The Grizzlies paid for a sophomore "fringe player" Kyle Lowry, plus a first-round top-three protected pick, and the Bucks paid their new potential rookie this year, Wilson Chandler, and the deal was made!
……
Originally, fans saw that the Grizzlies had a deal on the news website, and they thought that the Grizzlies and Lakers had reached a deal with Pau Gasol, but when they clicked in and looked at it, they realized that it was a deal between the Grizzlies and the Bucks, and it seemed that the Bucks had lost some money......
That's right, in the feelings of the fans and the teams in the league, the Bucks are indeed losing a bit......
It's no exaggeration to say that the current Lowry three are stacked together, and none of them are worth Wilson Chandler, even if you add a first-round pick, or a top-three protected pick, this deal looks like the Bucks are losing a little......
The whole league is not optimistic about this deal, even if the Bucks themselves feel that this deal is a loss, the Bucks are a little loss-making, but Li Tuanjie just smiled faintly, a loss?! Not!
The real big winner is the Bucks, and time will tell!
Not to mention, Lowry will become the highest-paid star in the future, which is the Grizzlies' first-round pick, and this deal will not be a loss!
There are many strong stars next season, and the Grizzlies' ghost record must be very high in the draft, such a draft pick, Li Tuanjie may even use this draft pick to get one of Wei Shao or Guofu!
After a season, the whole league will definitely regret their vision at that time, the Bucks are the real big winner of this deal, and the Grizzlies are losing blood!
……
Soon after the Bucks traded with the Grizzlies, the Grizzlies immediately announced with the Los Angeles Lakers that Pau Gasol would switch owners and join the Lakers, and the Lakers only paid a small price!
In an instant, the western pattern has changed drastically!
Originally, with Bynum's injury, the Lakers' record had gradually fallen to fourth in the West at this time, but with the addition of Pau Gasol, they definitely have the strength to return to the first place in the West!
