In fact, if you think about it carefully, Michael Reed's departure was doomed, the Bucks were eliminated by the Magic in a near-humiliating 0-4 in the second round, and the small K changed to the extreme and did not let this team win even a single victory.

There is no other reason for this, it can only be said that this lineup has reached the upper limit, and it is time for some changes!

A change in the team is nothing more than a change in the players, or a change in the manager.

Xiao K's several dispatches in the playoffs, although they did not play a role, it can be seen that he really thought of a way, and this pot really can't be thrown on his head.

Since the coach doesn't move, he can only move the players.

In the current Bucks lineup, there is trade value, and there are only a few that can be used as the main bargaining chips, Yi Jianlian is definitely not for sale, Bogut is also a rare defensive interior in the current league, and he can pass the ball with the ability to respond, such a baby really can't give up.

As for Mo Williams, he just gave a new contract last summer, and judging from his performance in the 08~09 season, this contract is still quite cost-effective, and it can't be moved.

After counting, the only one who can give up and still has trade value is Michael Reed!

Although he has only played less than 20 games this season, he can still score an average of 21 points per game in the regular season in these 20 games, and although the playoffs have exposed a lot of defensive problems, he can also average 18 points per game.

In short, Michael Reed is already in an embarrassing situation for the current Bucks, and if Hammond makes a big move, the first one to trade must be him.

Michael Reid also knows this, so he can't wait to submit a trade application, for a star player like him who has won a big contract, entered an All-Star, and has been the boss of the team, instead of being driven away, it is better to take the initiative to apply for a trade, so that he can have more face.

It was precisely because of Michael Reed's current embarrassing situation that Yi Jianlian did not say anything.

Moreover, even without the influence of these factors, if Michael Reid wants to leave, Yi Jianlian will still respect his decision.

In the final analysis, Yi Jianlian is just returning favors.

If Michael Reid doesn't want to go, then he will go through everything he says, and if Michael Reid wants to go, then he won't say anything more to stay, everything is based on Michael Reid's personal wishes.

After Hammond heard Yi Jianlian say that he respected Michael Reed's wishes from Dan Fagan, his whole expression relaxed a lot.

About half an hour after the Bucks' game in Orlando today, he received a call from Michael Reed's agent, when he heard that Michael Reed took the initiative to apply to be traded, he didn't want to mention how beautiful it was, Michael Reed put the starting lineup without defensive ability, and couldn't attack with the ball, and the effect of entering the second team was poor, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this guy is a little out of touch with the current Bucks, he has it, Mo Williams has it now, and a team obviously doesn't need two Mo Williams, Especially Michael Reed, his salary is still the first in the Bucks, and by exchanging him for two slightly more powerful bench players, the strength of the Bucks will definitely not decrease but rise, and the possibility of further progress will definitely increase greatly.

It's just that Yi Jianlian's attitude towards Michael Reed is not ordinarily close, if he doesn't know that Yi Jianlian will trade rashly, I'm afraid it will cause Yi Jianlian's dissatisfaction, which is really an unnecessary risk for Hammond, anyway, it's just a phone call.

Fortunately, Dan Fagan's answer to him was exactly what he wanted, and Yi Jianlian agreed to Michael Reed's deal, and now, there is no need to worry at all, and he can officially start asking about the chips that all parties are willing to give.

Although the trading market has not yet begun, it is said that there can be no trading exchanges at this time, but the rules are dead, people are alive, and it is really not so easy to prohibit two phone calls between general managers.

In fact, more than 80 percent of the offseason deals were negotiated before the free market opened, and they were traded directly after the trade market opened.

This has no effect on the alliance itself, and naturally there are no constraints.

The Bucks are out, but the playoffs are still going on.

The Celtics didn't make it until Garnett returned, and were taken away by the Cavaliers 4-1, and the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals had a final result, with the Cavaliers led by LeBron James facing Dwight Howard's Magic.

On the Western side, the Nuggets are really in good shape this year, knocking over the veteran Spurs and reaching the Western Conference Finals for the first time in the 21st century.

And the epic showdown between the Lakers and the Rockets also had a final result, the same process as Yi Jianlian's memory, Yao Ming staged "The King Returns", and the Lakers won the game after grinding to the seventh game with the Rockets, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with their heads held high.

It is worth mentioning that during this period, the league officially announced two more awards, one is the "Coach of the Season Award" and the other is the "Best Defensive Player Award".

The best coach was won by Mike Brown, and the Cavaliers' record this year is the first in the league, and there is not much controversy about this "best coach" given to him.

However, some Milwaukee fans feel sorry for the little K, 07 Michelle won the best coach in fact and this year's little K, although there is no season first, but with more than last year's twenty or thirty wins, finally won the best coach, the Bucks' record this year is also twenty or thirty more than last year, it is said that the little K is also qualified to take it, but it was taken by Mike Brown.

Milwaukee die-hard fans are always a little unhappy.

The "Best Defensive Player Award" was not unmistakable, and Dwight Howard won the first "Best Defensive Player Award" of his career.

It can be said that it is well deserved.

After all, the Magic's defensive system is really what he propped up.

The finals of the East and West began, and both sides played to a 1-1 draw in the first two games, and it looked like they were evenly matched.

And before the start of the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the last award of the NBA was also announced - regular season MVP winner LeBron James!

This is the first regular season MVP of LeBron's career, and certainly the most important honor of his career so far.

It's just a pity that this honor didn't bring him good luck, but the curse of "regular season MVP" made him fall on the stage of the Eastern Conference finals.

Howard ended up being the one to advance in the East.

Perhaps this also confirms the old NBA adage: defense is the only way to win!

"Best Defensive Player" Howard stepped on the corpse of "regular season MVP" LeBron James.

As for the West, the Lakers beat the Nuggets 4-2 to reach the Finals for the second year in a row, and Anthony's best season so far came to an end.
