684. Why do you feel like a thief? (Ask for a commuter pass)
After arriving in Philadelphia, some of the Hawks' players began to feel uneasy.
Liu Mang, Rahim, and Ratliff have nothing to worry about, one of them is the core, one is the key to the team's greatest sacrifice and the team's steady development, and it is also an example of the team's "sacrifice" word, and the other is the core of the interior defense.
Stockton is not worried, no one dares to trade him, otherwise don't think about this kind of experienced leader to lead young people in the future, the Eagles also pointed to him to train a substitute for Liu Mang who is familiar with his playing style.
Prince, as the No. 1 single-defense player on the outside, is not worried about being traded.
Rashid Wallace and Kwame Brown are the league's scarce centers and aren't afraid.
Others say not necessarily, as for Kevin Willis, who has been wearing a suit for a long time...... First, the Eagles are now focusing on building a team culture and want to keep Liu Mang for a long time, Liu Mang is very different from the Chinese in the American impression, and the Eagles management knows that this guy can't be coaxed by words, and he must be allowed to see the benefits of the team, such as taking care of the team's senior career at the end of his career...... Moreover, Kevin Willis's contract can't be traded at all......
The Hawks have always been short of big centers, and although they have Ratliff and Kwame Brown, and Rasheed Wallace can also play center, they still lack a real third center, which is very important for the Hawks who want to beat the team in the West to reach the Finals.
And there is only one day left to trade this year!
The morning after the Hawks played the Kings, the Hawks had to worry about being traded after a five-hour charter flight to Philadelphia.
Every year, the trade deadline is a day when a large part of the league's players are terrified.
Generally speaking, there are two types of people who are worried.
One is the core of the weak team, which may want to overturn and start over because of the poor record of leading the team for a long time.
In this case, if the core is sent to the strong team cheaply, and the strong team happens to be short of people in the same position, it is naturally better.
But in most cases, the core of the weak team is good, and even the core of the weak team in the big city is good, living a comfortable life, and then being sent to a big bad team in dire straits and not being reused, like Brand, who is already very lucky, sent from the Bulls to Los Angeles, although it is still a bad team, but it is still a big city, although the Lakers pressed so that others don't know that he is a Los Angeles player, but he lives in Los Angeles.
If you are sent to the Warriors who have been at the bottom of the pot all year round, and the Bulls who are still rotting now, then you will have blood mold, and you may have to start a wandering career.
Another scenario that is likely to be traded is for role players and fringe players on strong teams, who may be traded because the team has better options on the weaker teams.
On the contrary, the marginal players of the weak team and the high-quality role players of the weak team are not worried at all, the role players of the marginal team are originally mixed, and it is still a problem to not be able to find the next job after playing this contract, in case they come back to life?
The quality role players of the weak team are even less worried, they are eager to go to the strong team, and the weak team is not going to trade them to strengthen them, and they are all waiting for Okafor.
And this year's trade deadline can be said to be turbulent, and many teams began to act in the early morning, and the reason is that the thirtieth team of the NBA will join the Southeast Division next season!
After the new team joins, the rest of the league can only keep eight players, and the other players are likely to be drafted by the new team, so the 29 teams in the league only have two trade periods to decide, one is before the trade deadline, and the other is before the draft conference, after the draft conference, trade negotiations will be frozen, until the free market starts in the few days, which is the time for the new team to choose.
Therefore, it is possible that some of the main players of the strong team also have the possibility of being traded.
From the middle of the season, after those newly signed players could be traded, many teams began to have the idea of trading, but it kept dragging on, and on the day of the trade deadline, the league trade market was suddenly detonated!
……
The Hawks are naturally also the focus of the trade market, and the Hawks may now be traded in the end, that is, Boozer, Korver, Barnes, Mohammed and others, all of whom may be the target of trade, they have too many people to covet, Boozer is not easy to trade, and his and Stockton's blocking is an important part of the Hawks' bench.
So many teams are quoting Barnes, Muhammad, and Kover, mainly Kover and Mohammed, Muhammad's leadership ability, his character of not being greedy for data, and even if he becomes the third big forward, he does not complain but does his best to help new teammates integrate into the team, so that many championship teams or teams that cultivate young cores such as the Cavaliers want to get him.
Korver relied on All-Star Weekend to make a name for himself and show the talent of an advantageous pitcher, although it may take a few years to develop, but a base salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars to support a player with top three-point talent is not a big deal, and it is much more reliable than blindly signing some pitchers with big contracts.
Barnes, the iron man who originally attracted the attention of other teams, almost offended the main strikers of other teams in the league, but there were not so many team offers.
The Hawks have no training today, firstly, they are in continuous away games, and they let the players rest more, and secondly, the opponent is the 76ers, the third from the bottom in the East, only the Magic and the Bulls and Clippers have a worse record than them, only 17-4O, even if Iverson comes back to perform amazingly, the Hawks are not worried.
The main thing, and what worries some of the Hawks' players, is that owner Price and a lot of scouts have followed the team to Philadelphia, rented a conference room in the hotel, and are having a meeting, which is almost certain that there will be a deal today!
……
……
Seeing Willie Green stunned and holding the ticket handed to him by Chip England, Liu Mang was a little sentimental, although he didn't have too deep feelings for Willie Green's teammate, but he was also a teammate, and he was still a little sentimental.
But it's only a little sentimental, and it's very different from the reluctance when Newbell, Dean Grove and others left the team before.
And Liu Mang learned a little bit of the inside story through Schwartz, Willie Green was sent away, and Stockton did not choose to coach Willie Green, mainly because Calderon was a player in his company......
After the Hawks made the deal, they gave Willie Green a ticket back to Atlanta, and because the opposing team was not in a hurry for a physical examination, the Hawks also specially helped Willie Green contact the other party to wait for him to pack his things before reporting, which can be said to be very humane and amazing!
It seems to be a very humane approach, but more importantly, it is not to let this trade affect the team's current mood, Willie Green's standard black American personality, so that he has a good relationship with Jason Terry, Barnes and others.
Willie Green froze with his ticket, he didn't expect to be traded at all!
In his opinion, he is the most powerful contender for the future successor Stockton to become Liu Mang's first bench, he has played 39 times this season, averaging 7 points per game, although most of this average points per game are brushed in garbage time, players who have not played many times generally have data and the real main score can not be superimposed, that is, the overall average points per game of the team has little impact, but the third point guard or third scoring guard who can get an average of 7 points per game, no matter how you look at it
As a native NBA player in the United States, I know too well the difference between playing in the Lakers, Rockets, and Hawks, the Lakers are in Los Angeles, and there is never a shortage of attention, even if it is a role player, the Hawks and the Rockets are even more incredible now, a marginal person has a higher exposure rate than the core of many teams, even Calderon and Korver, who rarely have the opportunity to play, and there are often a bunch of reporters around.
Of course, Willie Green's news is basically all kinds of nightclub turmoil, and the talent he has shown has indeed made him the most news and the most concerned by reporters among the Hawks' role players, even Boozer, Kwame Brown and others are not as news-rich as him.
Willie Green enjoyed the feeling of being noticed, but he didn't expect that there was no news at all, and those who seemed to him "deserved" to be traded were not traded, but he was traded!
……
Shortly after Willie Green got his ticket and left the hotel, ESPN exposed the Hawks' deal.
The Hawks and Jazz make a deal!
The Jazz traded the retiring Greg Ostertag to the Hawks to get Willie Green, trying to help the Big White Bears who are not far from retirement get a chance to win a championship, and sent Ostertag and their O5 second-round pick to the Hawks to get the Eagles' rookie Willie Green.
In recent years, many teams still have a strong human touch, especially the Jazz, a team that is still in the first year of the post-double-steam era, so that Ostertag is still a little fighting to pursue the championship, and the Jazz are willing to do this kind of adult beauty.
Moreover, to get Willie Green, this is definitely a sure win for the Jazz!
People for the Hawks' obviously loss-making trade, feel that the Hawks have not been slaughtered much in this transaction, the Hawks brought in Ostertag in order to strengthen the center position, against O'Neal, there is basically no center in the league who can carry O'Neal, Ostertag is one of the best players, always a little older, as a role player at the age of 31, the decline is quite serious, strategic significance is greater than the actual effect, which is much stronger for the Hawks than a marginal point guard who can only play in garbage time.
While it's amazing for a low-pick second-round pick to play like that, and it's okay to be a good role player if it's developed, the Hawks need Ostertag more now.
Then Popovich jumped out and cursed again...... In order to deal with O'Neal, he doesn't know how many times he has talked to the Jazz, but the Jazz just ignored him, and now he actually gave it to the Hawks! This made Popovich, who is still aiming for the championship this year, once again catch the team that traded with the Hawks......
……
……
"Willie is very talented, now our team can't give him room to grow, the Jazz team is rebuilding, this may be his chance, I wish him a bright future......" Regarding his teammate being traded, Liu Mang rarely said some official words in the interview.
"Willie will always be my brother, and he's definitely going to have more opportunities with the Jazz, which is good for him." Jason Terry is a player who has played for four or five years, and he agrees.
Just as Jason Terry's career goal is to retire with enough $100 million in 2o years, he also hopes that Willie Green, who has a good relationship with him, can have a better show.
“……”
“……”
All of the Hawks' players who came to Philadelphia with the team sent their best wishes to Willie Green when they came to the Wachovia Center for a pregame interview with the 76ers the day after the trade deadline.
The Hawks couldn't have been better off right now, and even if Willie Green often makes negative news, it's not the kind that affects the team, it's a personal issue.
But...... Blessing to blessing, and a little reluctant to let his teammates leave, but many in the Hawks were more relieved after learning the news that Willie Green was traded.
Liu Mang's side is actually not so interested in this matter anymore, otherwise after getting Ostertag, who cares about Willie Green! He will definitely choose to "attack" the two or three opponents who are most likely to become the finals again, and rub off on the popularity of Popovich's swearing.
This time, the team had to be interviewed, and Liu Mang said it was official......
After the interview, Liu Mang did not go to the pre-game warm-up as soon as possible, but went to the away team's locker room.
……
Iverson returned to the locker room with his teammates after being interviewed at another interview location.
The 76ers' locker room is interesting right now, and after Iverson returned, Glenn Robinson lost his "boss" position almost instantly, especially after Iverson hit a triple-double in the first game of his return, and the status of the big dog plummeted.
The gap between the two is too big! Although Glenn Robinson also averaged 19 points and 5 rebounds per game, he only had 1.4 assists, and as a player with a ball possession rate of 27 percent, his assist rate ranked first in the league.
Iverson is now more aggressive than he is getting better, and he's more domineering, for Glenn Robinson, Iverson didn't hesitate to start smashing his teammates and marginalizing this guy, Iverson's heart has become more ruthless in this regard, he knows that he may not have much left in his prime, and he must make the team form a championship squad as soon as possible, for him, the most important thing now is to win the championship.
Moreover, today's game, Iverson attaches great importance to it, and that bastard is coming!
However, Glenn Robinson did establish some prestige in the team in the more than 50 games that Iverson was not around, and his talent could not be better, although he does not pass the ball at all now, with a 27 percent possession rate, and an average of only 1.4 assists per game, ranking first among players with more than 15 percent possession rate, but he can still average 19 points per game with a shooting rate of more than 40 percent even if he clocks out, and his strength is very good.
Glenn Robinson really laid a certain foundation for the 76ers, so the atmosphere in the 76ers locker room is very subtle......
Iverson has a headache about how to communicate with management to deal with Glenn Robinson, he has a mediocre relationship with management, how could his previous personality care about such a thing.
But now Iverson knows that he needs to deal with this kind of thing, he needs to take the initiative to communicate with the team, this year's team's plan is to put it bad, Iverson also knows that it is also a way to strengthen the team, so he used to need Glenn Robinson, but now he doesn't need it so much, there are only about 20 games left, he wants to start letting the team start learning to win, anyway, the bottom three is too powerful, and there is a new team that has the same draw probability as the bottom team and is the top five picks, There is no way for their own team to get the top prize.
So Iverson wants to talk to the management and know how the management is going to rebuild, which is also crucial to whether he wants to extend his contract early this summer, or jump out of the final year of the player option.
Iverson has been having a headache about this for a while, and he admires that bastard too much in this regard!
How could that bastard handle this aspect so well? Taking the initiative to extend the year-end salary not only got the bird rights, but also gave the team more space to bring in reinforcements, and the key is to handle the relationship with teammates, owners, and coaching staff so well, which is something Iverson wants to learn now.
Just like now, Iverson wants to isolate a guy who seems to him to be more alone than himself, and his teammates are hesitating!
"That bastard, what the hell does his brain grow! It's really infuriating! "Iverson's 'new hatred plus old hatred', once again scolded Liu Mang in his heart.
Just when Iverson had a headache but couldn't find a solution and scolded Liu Mang in his heart, a figure appeared in front of him.
Looking at Liu Mang who suddenly appeared, Iverson's Creed instantly added - does this bastard have mind reading skills? Just scolded him, why did he come!
Iverson felt like he was being caught as a thief......
What Iverson didn't expect was that Liu Mang's first sentence was: "Aaron, you don't want to get 2o points today!" ”
