After the All-Star Game, Fox Leon rushed back to Boston as soon as possible, and it was the morning when he arrived at the Boston airport. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in the parking lot of the airport, Danny Angie was sitting in his car waiting for Leon, his face did not look particularly good, he should not have slept well recently.

"Why do you look like the Celtics are about to make the playoffs, that's not what a general manager of the league's No. 1 team should have, and when the All-Star break just ended and I didn't have a good time with the rest of the group, they called me back and drove me up early in the morning. Is the world going to end? Or the Celts thought they were going to disband. Leon got into the car and said to Angie.

Angie snorted at Leon, started the car and left the parking lot, driving him on the Bypass back to downtown Boston.

"The Detroiters' trade request is about to be submitted to the league, and I'm still hesitant to get involved, and Joe Dumas said he'll wait for my call before noon today." Driving the car, Angie said to Leon.

Leon has previously understood that after a series of moves, the Detroit Pistons will complete an extremely important trade as they want to acquire power forward Rasheed Wallace from the Atlanta Hawks - Wallace was just traded to the Hawks by the Portland Trail Blazers and has yet to play a game for the Hawks.

Logically speaking, this has nothing to do with the Celtics, he is strong, he is strong, and he is not as strong as me anyway. But Joe Dumas approached Danny Ainge in the hope that the Celtics could act as an intermediary to serve as a bridge between the Pistons and the Hawks in a trade, and the object of the trade was Daniels.

That played right into Angie's hands, and no matter how much Leon defended Daniels, and no matter how much he created a positive vibe in February's game, the best thing for Angie could do was for Daniels to leave Boston. Maybe there won't be another clash between Garnett and Daniels, but the mustard between them won't go away, and Angie, who used to be a player, is well aware of that.

If the status and identity of the two in the team are too different, or their personalities are completely different, then one day it will cause a big conflict. He still remembers his time with the Celtics, as a mouthpiece for McHale and Bird, these two guys just have a discordant personality, and if they weren't for the fact that they were both core players for the Celtics, one of the two would definitely be leaving. And those who stay are always stars, and those who go away are always irrelevant.

Kevin Garnett's character Angie also understands, love and hate clearly, and it can be seen from the fans' evaluation of him, as many people love him, as many as they hate him, he will never become a big brother admired by everyone like Duncan, but a head wolf with a distinct personality. Now that the Celts need such a wolf, then they must also get rid of the disobedient wolf cubs.

"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard since I entered the NBA, a championship contender, an important piece to trade for a competitor, and if we lose to the Pistons in the playoffs, guess what people will say about you, Danny?" Leon couldn't help but taunt Danny Angie.

"One, I don't think we're going to lose, and two, even if we don't help, Dumas will find other teams, and I'd love to have a draft pick from the Eagles, and I don't think our construction should end there." Danny Angie always looks far away, far away that others find it unnecessary.

Leon fell silent, he knew that Anji's logic was not too problematic, indeed, from his information channels, the Pistons were bound to win this transaction, and it was basically a certainty, as for who to cooperate with to build a bridge to facilitate the crossing of the river, it was just a minutiae. As far as he knows, at least three teams have shown such an interest in buying favors by dropping by, cleaning up junk contracts, or earning a draft pick or two, which is common in the NBA.

It's just that it would be hilarious to do something like this with the current situation and status of the Celtics, and once the Pistons trade is completed, it will pose a huge threat to the Celtics' dominance in the East, which both Leon and Angie can expect. If the Celtics are involved, they will inevitably be pulled out and complained about when the playoffs meet in trouble.

However, the benefits of trading Daniels are also obvious, removing an element of instability, making the team's boss happy and focused on competing for a championship, and a draft pick can have a lot of possibilities. Both Leon and Angie are the favorites of draft picks.

Of course, the most unacceptable in Leon's heart is Daniels, although he is just an ugly rookie and insignificant in this team, but for Leon, this Celtics is a complete whole. Halfway through the season, they are about to embark on a playoff journey to touch the glory they haven't regained in 18 years. No matter who on the team leaves, Leon will feel unbearable, which is why he has previously strongly opposed Angie's trade for Daniels.

After returning to the team's headquarters with Angie, the two argued for another two hours, and Leon knew that Angie had made up his mind, and the reason why he summoned him back was not to discuss what should be done with the deal, but to convince Leon to accept the fact of sending Daniels away.

After smoking three cigarettes in a row, Leon snuffed out the cigarette butt and said to Angie, "Okay, but I'll go and meet Daniels in person, and I'll tell him about being traded." I'll do this wicked man. ”

The NBA team is coming, and Leon has long been used to it, because this is work, this is business. The last time he personally told a player that he was traded, that person was Joe Johnson, because Joe Johnson was personally selected by him, and he brought someone into the NBA, and since he was leaving, he had to tell him personally. Daniels is no exception.

On the evening of the 18th, the Celtics returned to Boston after All-Star Weekend entertainment to prepare for the upcoming game. The season will enter a sprint stage, and the Celtics will not only have to work hard to maintain the top spot in the league to gain home-court advantage in all series, but also stay healthy, stabilize the roster, and be 100 percent ready for the playoffs.

That same night, Leon went to Daniels' house and told him about his upcoming trade. This was undoubtedly a huge blow to young Daniels, who remained silent for a long time, just looked into Leon's eyes, which seemed to contain a hint of pleading. These young people who have just left college and come to the NBA have not yet tasted the beauty of basketball and are about to experience the cruelty of the adult world.

Leon stood up and said, "I have already told you the news personally, and you have to walk well on your own in the future." As long as I'm selected for the NBA, I'll always be his coach. I owe you a championship, Marquis. ”

"No, you don't owe me anything, nothing." Daniels also stood up and said.

"No, I owe you, you must remember." Leon finally said, and with that, he left, leaving Daniels alone to silently pack his bags and prepare to leave. (To be continued.) )
