"I'm very grateful to Toney and Trevor for their contribution to the team, their talent is fantastic, and hopefully they will have more opportunities to perform in their new team, show their quality and believe they will become great stars in the future." Kevin has been talking to us about the future, hoping that his life will be more complete after he retires, and we will hold a retirement ceremony for him at the time of the Christmas game, and we are more focused on the present and can't give them more opportunities to exercise, so we choose to let go and let them go to a stage that is more suitable for them to play. We now have two veterans, Alonzo and Walter, to complement the team's lack of experience, and now we have a full squad that will stabilize the current squad......"

On the afternoon of December 22, the Eagles held a press conference to confirm the trade, bidding farewell to Tony Allen and Ariza and welcoming Mourning and Walter McCarty.

The press conference for Mourning and McCarty will wait until the Hawks return to Atlanta after their away game against the Nuggets.

At this time, Schwartz has already taken Tony Allen to Boston to report, and Tony Allen will not go back and forth between the NBA and the Development League when he goes to Boston, and Angie's side will definitely be Tony Allen for playing time.

I have to say that the Eagles are doing a "loss-making business", and the positive reviews brought are very good.

Rather let go and not delay the development of rookies and give Mourning enough face, it is a good thing for the Eagles to build team culture.

The foundation of the team's culture, in the final analysis, is the human touch.

It is a very important thing for a player to win the championship, but many players want not only to win the championship, but also whether they can have a good development opportunity.

The team needs you, you can play well, you are a bit redundant for the team, and you will be sent to a stage where you can show your ability; When a player is old, if he has contributed enough, he will be willing to provide him with a decent pension contract, and the contract with Kevin Willis has dragged on until now, only to negotiate a buyout because of a teammate who must be traded, and also gave the Raptors cash compensation so that Kevin Willis can get some money after refusing to go to the Raptors to report, this is the most important team culture.

Otherwise, the Hawks directly traded Kevin Willis away, and if Kevin Willis doesn't report it, he can apply for a cut without paying.

The Hawks want to talk about team culture, it has been lost for decades, except for the Bob Pettit era, before Liu Mang came, the Hawks did not precipitate any team culture even if there was a good time for Donimic Wilkins, and in the Bob Pettit era, there was no team culture, and even before the 80s, there were two teams, the Lakers and the Celtics.

Now that the Eagles have Liu Mang, they are starting to rebuild the team culture.

According to unreliable media reports, after the Heat and Hawks failed to compete for Morning, there was a suppressed but still loud laugh from a villa in Los Angeles, and a burly giant man in Miami went to a fast-food restaurant to eat a lot of burgers......

Pushing for the deal was Liu Mang's agent, Schwartz, who recommended Tony Allen to Angie after getting permission from the Eagles.

Tony Allen is also a member of Liu Mang's agency, but Liu Mang is not familiar with him, but Schwartz has been looking for a team that is more suitable for Tony Allen, and the Celtics are very suitable.

The Celtics are too short of scoring guards, and the best scoring guard is Yeri Welshko, who plays an average of 20 minutes per game with only 6 points and 2 boards.

Of course, Schwartz himself is also a very humane and moral person, and a large part of the reason why Liu Mang chose him as an agent is because he knows this person's resume, from the fact that he did not abandon Wang Zhizhi when Wang Zhizhi was given up by the NBA and the Blue Association, but actively contacted European teams for him, but Wang Zhizhi gave in and returned to the CBA to play and gave up the last opportunity to play with world-class players.

There is also the active search for a job for Odom after gaining weight, and when he was young, he had no way out of his head, and he became the agent of Love, Aldridge, Whiteside, Harris Barnes and others at the age of almost 50, and began to have a status in the NBA.

Stressing human feelings and morality may not make people rich, but at least they can make people have a good reputation, and with a good reputation, they may have the opportunity to make a fortune.

Liu Mang is more than ten years later, although he doesn't know what Schwartz looks like, but he knows from the news that this person is a good person, and he doesn't need to be strong enough to choose an agent, the main thing is not to pit him, Duncan's experience is too miserable.

……

On the 23rd, the last game of the Hawks before the Christmas game, the Hawks came to Pepsi Center to challenge the Nuggets.

The sudden trade caused quite a stir within the Hawks.

Just as the media didn't expect the trade, neither did the Hawks players.

There are rumors that Mourning is coming, and Kevin Willis is also back on the team, and they are talking about a buyout.

I didn't expect to talk about the buyout with the Raptors, not with the Hawks, the Hawks just compensated the Raptors with cash and let the Raptors help with the buyout.

I thought it was just one more teammate, but I didn't expect three fewer teammates, which made some players feel uneasy.

Despite being just rookies in the development league and the NBA, the players couldn't help but wonder: the team is going to change the roster? Is there a chance that I will be abandoned?

It's inevitable because the Eagles have changed so much since the new season, starting with the style of play, and now the personnel are starting to change.

Although Steven Price stressed the need to stabilize the current squad in his press conference, it is normal for the team management and coaching staff to be in turmoil and have no choice in the team's heart.

The main point is that Rahim, who won the championship last season, can be traded, but what about the others?

The truth about Raheem being traded, only Liu Mang and Jason Terry among the Hawks players know, but the two will not say it, otherwise it will not only be Raheem who will be affected, but the Hawks will also be greatly affected, so the two will definitely not say it, and there is no reason to say it.

Management and coaching staff don't mention it either.

Psychological fluctuations bring about fluctuations in the state on the pitch.

Playing with negative emotions, the Eagles are out of sorts.

Although many players are used to trading, psychological fluctuations are uncontrollable, and Liu Mang has no choice, he and Maddie are stronger than everyone on the field, and they can still play a good performance with their strength, but others are a little troublesome, mainly reflected in lack of concentration.

The Hawks players' concentration has declined, resulting in problems on the defensive end, the Nuggets, a track and field team, are very capable of running, and they are originally a team with a fast playing style that is difficult for the Hawks to play with small balls, and the Hawks were suppressed by the Nuggets in this game.

Liu Mang and Maddie were fighting, and the two started the style of play of you throwing one and I throwing one, Liu Mang played 41 minutes and got 35 points, 8 boards and 3 assists, and Maddie played 38 minutes and got 26 points, 6 boards and 8 assists.

Kwame Brown and Jason Terry were undisturbed.

But Kwame Brown has a strong opponent today, the combination of Camby and Nene and Kenyon Martin, and the frontcourt rebounding master Anthony, Kwame Brown only got 8 points and 8 boards, and it seems that he is ready to get the top salary.

Jason Terry was choked by Andre Miller, a guy similar to Ginobili, who was supernatural in and out of the field, scoring just 9 points on 3-of-13 shooting.

The Hawks have no psychological pressure at all, just Liu Mang, Maddy, Jason Terry, and Kwame Brown, the four of them are the skeleton of the team, and the other main players have alternative options, and the trade value is not bad.

When Coach George Carr found out that the Hawks had a problem, he decisively turned on the big kill mode, and the Nuggets' strong young fighting power was brought into play.

Mainly Anthony went crazy today, played 40 minutes, and got 38 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists.

Liu Mang and Maddie held out until the last minute, but there was really no way to prevent it, and the Hawks lost to the Nuggets 106-115, ending their seven-game winning streak.

With a 22-5 record, the Hawks' record was surpassed by the Suns again, but they still held the first place in the East, and the 23-6 Pistons were on the same winning margin.

Anthony is having the New Year!

He became the first player in the top five picks of the 03 generation to defeat Liu Mang in the game!

The people of Miami, Detroit, Toronto, and Cleveland sent congratulatory messages.

It's not easy, the other four top five players of the 03 generation are crying with joy when they see that the five of them finally won Liu Mang once, it's not easy!
