Tobias. Harris, for the players right now, it's really just a little-known name. After all, he is playing for the Milwaukee Bucks at this time, and he is too insignificant.

In college, he was in Tennessee, and Harris's grades were not good or bad. He's a talented player, but he's not the most talented.

So last year, he was only selected by the Bobcats with the 19th pick in the first round. But before he could report to the team after being drafted, he was sold to the Bucks in a three-way trade. And that's just the head.

In his rookie season, Harris averaged 11 minutes per game and only scored 5 points and 2 rebounds. This kind of player, even if he walks on the street 500 meters away from the stadium, no one may know him. Unless it's the kind of fan who knows every water cooler manager on the team, he will have an impression of this Harris.

This year, Harris is even more aggrieved. In the Bucks, with Ellis and Jennings scoring points against each other, Harris still hasn't had much of a chance to perform. Averaged 4.9 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, and the stats looked similar to last year. Not surprisingly, this kind of rookie who can't play for two years in a row will almost be covered and left after the rookie contract ends.

As a result, Harris is now once again being put on the shelf as a bargaining chip. Even so, Harris was only added as an add-on. Otherwise, no one would want a sophomore who averages less than 7 points and less than 3 rebounds per game.

However, Link naturally knew that Tobias. Harris is not a water cooler player. He has the quality, he just doesn't have a chance.

The next morning, Link deliberately watched the news. Among the many trade rumors, I really found a few things that were related to Tobias. Harris news.

The earliest news is that the Bucks are talking to the Hawks about Yosh. Smith deal. And in this deal, the chips include Tobias. Harris. However, the latest news shows that the Eagles have pulled out of the trade. That's probably the same as the original history, and Josh won't be traded this season.

Subsequently, Tobias. Harris is back in touch with the Orlando Magic. The Bucks have proven they can't go far under Ellis and Jennings, so they'll want to focus on the free agent market this summer. Thus, their "slimming program" to free up salary space began. ”

The first step of the "slimming plan" is to get rid of Slovenian defender Benno. Yudri. Yudri signed a five-year, $32 million contract in 2009. In those days, the contract was not small. Until now, Yudri has two years left on his contract. This season, his salary is $6.93 million. And next season, his salary will be as high as 7.37 million!

For the Bucks, who need salary space, this is naturally unacceptable. So, the Bucks wanted to use Yudri's main chips in exchange for Magic's Redick. Redick's salary is not low, but it expires this summer and does not take up salary space for the Bucks. And the Magic side is also willing to let Redick, who can contribute 15 points per game, in order to play badly.

The two sides are now close to closing the deal. Harris happens to be the addition to the deal.

And then, as Randolph said, the Grizzlies actually stepped in.

The Bucks and Magic trade is essentially a swap between Yudri and Redick. As for who the other chips are, in fact, it can be. Because of this, the Grizzlies now really have an eyebrow with Harris.

After reading so much gossip, Link made a direct call to Stevens. Sure enough, Stevens confirmed the rumors that Link had seen.

"We're really in contact with Tobias. Harris, I proposed it. If we want to go far in the playoffs this year, we're going to have to be foolproof. But the substitute number four position...... To be honest, it's not very reassuring. So, I started looking for a tall striker with young potential. Then, Tobias. Harris came into my field of vision. I've asked Pella and Chris. Wallace submitted a trade request, and it looks like they're already on the move? ”

The young coach doesn't have a bad eye for people, and he really likes players like Harris. Jack-of-all-trades, can play team basketball, can play two forward positions, has a good attitude, and has a well-rounded skill....... These are all representatives of Stevens' contented No. 4 position. While Harris doesn't get many opportunities with the Bucks, Stevens can see the potential.

In the Grizzlies, the young marshal has more say than the original history in the Celtics. Therefore, the management immediately began to prepare for the trade of the player he suggested.

History, it is very likely that there will be great changes again.

"Then if Tobias. What about Harris? Link quipped, he was curious to know why Stevens would make a trade for a player who averaged 5+2 per game.

"Can't do it? If he doesn't, we'll have Arthur, and Sean. If he can't, we have almost nothing to lose. But if he does, we'll make a lot of money. What do you think? Have you ever watched Harris play? What kind of player do you think he is? ”

"Me?" Link smiled, "I think Harris would be a nice addition, I've seen him play, and in Milwaukee, he's been wasted." ”

On the evening of the 17th, the NBA All-Star Game was very lively. As the highlight of the annual All-Star Weekend, the main event is always the most watched.

Link has been on the All-Star starting lineup for the second year in a row, so this year, he's gone from being a spectator to a performer.

Last season, because he was selected as an All-Star starter for the first time, Link was basically a green leaf for others. But this year, Link's fame has skyrocketed, and fans want to see Link play well in the game.

As a result, Link lived up to expectations and kicked off the All-Star Weekend with a beautiful back dunk as soon as he came up.

This year's All-Star is no different from previous years, everyone basically doesn't defend, and the basket attacks casually. But even so, Bosh still came out of the way, because his three points in two consecutive empty positions actually became three non-sticks, I don't know if he really couldn't shoot or deliberately.

But the more tragic thing is still to come, Bosh was actually given by Paul in the crotch in the second quarter...... People were eager to see Irving do this kind of action today, but they didn't expect that it was Paul who was the first to ignite the audience with a streetball move.

As for Owen...... Maybe it was because he was educated by Link yesterday that he wasn't very excited today. Especially when he and Link were on the floor at the same time, Owen instantly became a good man, and he would rush to pass the ball when he received it.

Link was speechless, am I so scary......

After seeing Paul's success in wearing the crotch, Parker, the "French sports car", was not to be outdone, and wore Bosh again.

One night, he was crotched twice by others, and Bosh wanted to cry without tears.

In the second half, it was basically Paul's show time. The shortest player in the All-Star Game scored and delivered clever passes, and his stats were on the rise.

After Paul took control of the game, Link also cooperated with a lot of interest. Except for an air-to-air connection with Randolph, Link didn't play any highlights.

In the end, the Western Stars defeated the Eastern Stars 143-138. Paul, who took over the game in the second half and scored 20 points, 15 assists and 4 steals, won the first All-Star Game MVP trophy in his career.

Lifting the All-Star MVP trophy, Paul modestly said, "It's a great honour to play against these great stars, to play with them, it's easy to assist, I just have to pass the ball to them." ”

Link applauded as he filled Paul's heart. What the guy really wanted to say was, "I'm willing to take this All-Star MVP trophy for a chance to play in the Western Conference Finals." ”

And so the 2013 All-Star Game ended in a happy atmosphere. But as soon as the game was over and back in the locker room, Link noticed that many people's expressions instantly became serious.

Kobe Bryant frowned, he didn't talk much this year, and he didn't have the leisure to train with Link. Maybe it's the situation of the Lakers this season that has made Kobe Bryant physically and mentally exhausted.

Durant, Paul, Griffin and Westbrook always glance at Link and Randolph from time to time. There's no doubt that they're all peeking into the Grizzlies' No. 1 spot in the West.

In this delicate dressing room, the ringing of Link's mobile phone finally broke the embarrassment.

Link hurriedly took the opportunity to look down at his phone, and if he looked at these guys like this, he would go crazy.

As a result, after looking at his phone, Link became the only player in the dressing room with a smile on his face.

"Our trade with the Bucks is close to completion, Tobias. Harris is about to become your new teammate. I hope you really like him. ”

Stevens' text messages, always short but informative.
