Chapter 373, the Clipper Sets Sail! The calf is finished?
The matter between the Clippers and the Mavericks was not hidden for long, and it was reported by the majority of media almost the next night, and the fans were in an uproar! Of course, Los Angeles Clippers fans want their home team to bring in a superstar, and although Griffin has grown well, it is obviously not enough to help the Clippers set sail!
And isn't this product already decommissioned? Could it be that the news is a rumor, but if you think about it, no guy would choose to retire when he is about to enter the superstar period! An exception, of course, for the injury-ridden Roy! Just the day after the start of the new season training camp, Roy announced his retirement due to a knee injury! At the age of 27, he was at his peak, but he had no choice but to leave due to injury.
But when Huang Yu joined the Clippers, they always felt sad about the eggs! After all, Sterling was beaten and even knocked out his teeth, can he easily bypass the yellow rain? Clippers fans clearly don't believe it! So I felt that this deal would not be the best!
As for the Lakers fans, they are divided into two parts, one is schadenfreude, although the Buss family's fight is infighting after all, they can't laugh, if the Clippers also come to such a time, then they can move the stool to watch a good show.
The other part thinks that Huang Yu will not return to Los Angeles and the Lakers, and if he joins the Clippers, it is not a betrayal, but some of them think that it is better for Huang Yu to join the Clippers, at least to give the current Lakers some stimulation, so that they can do less damage there, and the Lakers were swept last season is a lesson.
But at the same time, they are also very worried that once Huang Yu joins the Clippers, although he may not be able to help Zhu Clippers crush the Lakers, but at least he can take the Clippers to a small turnover! If the Lakers are not fighting at this time, then it will be too late to be trampled under the feet of the Clippers!
In fact, the news that Huang Yu was going to join the Clippers really stimulated the Lakers, and within a few days, the league received a trade request! It's a three-way deal, with the Lakers and Hornets as the main traders, and the Rockets coming in and making some money with the mud.
On December 13, just a few days after the free market opened, a blockbuster deal appeared in the true alliance, the Lakers, Hornets and Rockets reached a three-way deal, the Lakers sent Odom to the Hornets in exchange for Paul, the Rockets got Gasol, Martin and Luscola joined the Hornets.
----------
However, the trade was halted by the league after only a few hours due to the mismatch of the trade chips! You must know that Paul is at his peak at this time, and how can Odom, Martin, and Scola be exchanged for Paul, the three chips that have almost been squeezed out!
At the same time, the league also sent an investigation team to investigate the inside story of this transaction in detail, because although such a brain-dead transaction occurred in the NBA for a few years, it reappeared less than 3 years apart, and the parties to the transaction were all Lakers, which is intriguing, and the league must clear the suspicion.
Just when the Hornets management was looking for a way to avoid this crisis, the Clippers and Mavericks finally reached a deal, and after only one season in Dallas, Huang Yu, who won the MVP and scoring title, was traded to the Clippers.
The chips for trading Huang Yu are DeAndre Jordan and Al Farouk Aminu, who entered the NBA in the same year, although the Mavericks still want a first-round pick for the Clippers, but the Clippers' uniform team is not used to your fault, a 2015 second-round love or not! Seeing that the Clippers are dead or alive, the Maverick can only endure it!
When the deal was reached and reported to the alliance, Nelson Jr. quietly inquired if Huang Yu's contract renewal had been completed! But the Clippers didn't say anything at all, and Nelson Jr. was very disappointed, in fact, he didn't know that the Clippers hadn't been in contact with Huang Yu at all! What about contract renewal.
----------
The three-way deal between the Lakers and the Hornets and the Rockets has been rejected, and the parties have also gotten the news.
To be honest, it's not that he doesn't like the city of New Orleans, it's that the previous owner died, and his family doesn't want to run the team, especially a team that has never had a future, and if he wants to win the championship, he needs to bring in big names and even pay the luxury tax to make money!
The Hornets can be said that as long as they don't change bosses, they have been in a state of being managed by the league, and there is no possibility of winning the championship at all! So Paul didn't want to spend all his good days here.
You must know that when the Big Three were formed, he was envious to death, and the Big Three touched the floor of the East Final in the first year, which was the most attractive to Paul, and even when he got to go to the Lakers to be the second leader of Kobe, Paul agreed! You must know that the last Paul Kobe Bryant was only sent away in three years, but that Paul got 2 championship rings and can go to earn a big contract!
Paul wasn't in great shape for the past two days! Hearing the sound of the door control, Paul cheered up and glanced at it, it was his agent, so he opened the door!
"Chris, good news for you!"
Paul's agent opened the door excitedly.
"What good news! Did the deal get done? ”
Paul was in good spirits, could the trade go through and he could go to Los Angeles to pursue the championship?
----------
"Ugh!"
Paul's words made the agent speechless, but soon he broke the embarrassment!
"Chris, the deal is done, let's go to Los Angeles, but to the Clippers!"
The agent suppressed the joy in his heart, after all, as long as Paul went to Los Angeles, the commercial value of the big city increased, and he would make more money! As for the championship, he doesn't really value it.
"Oh, yes! The Hornets have already agreed here? What's the chip, I don't want the Clippers to take advantage of the fire! ”
It's actually going to the Clippers, although I'm disappointed, but it's a little better, at least I heard that the Clippers have potential rookies, the lineup is relatively young and aggressive, although not as attractive as the Lakers, but at least it's much stronger than the current Hornets, but since it's going to the Clippers, then Paul feels that he should leave something for the Hornets, hoping that he can exchange some high-quality players for the Hornets.
"The Clippers gave center Chris Carman, guard Eric Gordon, Brian Cook, Ryan Gomez, Trey Tompkins, Travis Leslie, Solomon Jones, Bobby Simmons"
The agent frowned when he said a name, how is this the same as a garbage dump, although it seems that the Hornets have gained more than a three-way trade, especially the first four except for Cook are all partners who are obsessed with players, even if Cook is also experienced and performed well last season, but the latter few are all rookies, especially Bobby Simmons, this is completely high-salary and incompetence! However, it can clear some salary space for the Wasps!
"The Clippers sent so many people at once, how much has the lineup changed?"
Leon still trusts Paul very much as his agent, even if the Lakers' bad deal appears, it will not affect the relationship between the two, who made Paul and Gasol both players under Leon! One goes to the Rockets and the other goes to the Lakers, and it's a win-win situation.
"The Clippers just reached an agreement with the Mavericks to trade that troublemaker to the Clippers, and it seems that the relationship with the Mavericks is stiff because of the Mavericks' fight for the boss! This time, the Clippers may not have good fruit to eat, after all, he punched Sterling hard when he was with the Lakers. ”
As an agent, you know what to say and do, and you won't ruin the character of your players because of a small profit! So in the matter of the Clippers trading Huang Yu, he will not have any distorted ideas.
----------
"I remember some time ago when I didn't see him retiring? How can you still get involved in a transaction? ”
Paul was stunned, he didn't expect the Clippers' first reinforcement to be Huang Yu, and he was surprised, didn't they all retire for a long time?
"As long as he is not reported to be an NBA player, the news may have been sent to negotiate with the Mavericks! As a result, the calf did not bird him! ”
Although Leon can guarantee that his ass will not sit off, Huang Yu is a player under Bill Duffy, so he naturally won't say anything good!
"He should be in the contract year! And three championships, an MVP, an FMVP, and a scoring champion, the best rookie! Wow, there are a lot of titles, it stands to reason that it may be to put pressure on the Mavericks and ask for a big contract before they will send that kind of retirement news! ”
Paul turned on the computer to check Huang Yu's news, looking at the three championships, as well as titles such as MVP and FMVP, Paul felt a little aggrieved and bitter! A rookie who has just entered the league and whose rookie contract is not over has actually completed the honor that many players have wanted for in their lifetime! Three championships, it's really impressive.
However, although it is a little sour, Paul does not have any jealous thoughts, but is a little optimistic about joining the Clippers! He doesn't think that Huang Yu's three championships and other honors are mixed with water, especially this year is a contract year, if you want a big contract, there will definitely be a good performance, the Clippers have rookie Griffin, and the guard line has himself and Huang Yu, as long as there are two good guys in the big forward and small forward positions, then the Clippers will be very strong in the new season!
Especially the Clippers' foundation was not seriously injured after trading himself and Huang Yu, and the attack power of the substitutes of Williams and Randy Foye is not weak, it seems that the Clippers are not a very bad choice!
Seeing Paul's gradually relaxed expression, Leon finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Paul didn't want to stay in the Clippers, once he went to another team to hug his thighs, the commercial value would hurt very much!
They didn't know that after the two transactions of Paul and Huang Yu broke out, everyone in the Western team was in danger! Except for the old powerhouse Spurs and the Young Guards Thunder, the rest of the teams were panicked, especially the Mavericks, after winning the championship, the lineup was scattered, and Chandler went directly to earn a big contract! Ballia also went to the Timberwolves, after all, he was promised a starting spot there, Shannon Brown was also sent to the Suns in exchange for a draft pick, and DeSean Stevenson was also signed by the Nets because of his excellent defense of James in the Finals, and now it's time to work hard for money after having a championship ring!
Rudy Fernandez and Corey Brewer were also given to the Nuggets for nothing, only in exchange for a second-round pick, many people say that this second-round pick is just a trade for Brewer, as for Fernandez, he has not proven himself in the NBA, he is just a head! This is also the second time he has been traded, and he was sent to the Trail Blazers on draft night, but he did not get reused for his outstanding performance, and after the Trail Blazers Roy was injured, the Trail Blazers would rather bring in reinforcements than give him a chance, so they chose to leave the NBA, so the Trail Blazers immediately came to a whistle deal, and sent him to the Mavericks before the stop, but because of the stop, he could only go back to Spain to play, and after learning that the Mavericks had no place of their own, they could only agree to be a partner to go to the Nuggets!
However, this seems to be not very comfortable in the Nuggets, after ending his contract, even if a team wants to sign, he refused all invitations and returned to Europe directly, and said that he was very unhappy in the NBA and would not come back!
In fact, Rudy Fernandez's strength is definitely worthy of recognition. He's more like JR Smith on the court, but at the same time he's a little more consistent than JR and less nervous.
He has the strength of the NBA's starting point guard, but his mentality is not good, and he refuses to accept his position as the sixth man, which is also the biggest reason why he is unwilling to stay in the NBA. Although there are a lot of excellent sixth men in the league such as Ginobili, Crawford, Odom, etc., who can also contribute to the team or even surpass the starters, the stubborn Rudy Fernandez has never been able to accept the role of a substitute, and there is no way. And since he is unhappy and unhappy, for Rudy Fernandez, why should he stay in the NBA?
----------
It's not entirely true to say that the Mavericks don't want to defend their title, and the addition of veteran Carter traded Odom, who did well last season, and a 2012 second-round pick to the Mavericks after paying an 8.9 million trade exception and a protected first-round pick in 2012.
With their joining, the Mavericks' lineup doesn't look so bad either, Nowitzki, Marion, Odom, Carter, Kidd! This lineup is also very gorgeous, but you have to carefully discern that this lineup is completely a tank car with a missing barrel and a track, and only a shell.
Marion's performance last season was very average, otherwise he would not have started more than 30 games scattered, averaging 12.5 points and 6.9 rebounds per game, while Odom had 14.4 points and 8.7 rebounds last season.
But the data of the two of them is barely equal to Huang Yu's data last season, and Carter's performance in the Suns is only 13.5 points and 3.6 rebounds, not to mention Kidd, if it wasn't for two highlight moments in the playoffs last season, it was completely lying on a championship ring, averaging 7.9 points and 8.2 assists per game, although it seems that there are more assists, but his pass is either Nowitzki or Huang Yu, these two people have a very high shooting rate last season!
Nowitzki shot 52 percent from the field, while Huang Yu had 75 percent! Nowitzki made 40 percent three-pointers, and Huang Yu reached close to 50 percent!
Now only Nowitzki is left alone to carry the Mavericks' offense, and the Mavericks can only hope that Carter, Odom and others will not be injured in the new season! Otherwise, once they have problems, the Mavericks will have to make the playoffs or not!
