Whether it's Ben Wallace or O'Neal Jr., Chi Liang wants to get them, and with their characteristics, they are very suitable for the current Nets team.

However, it backfired, and after the selection was confirmed, Nets general manager Stefansky immediately contacted the Magic to get Ben Wallace.

It's a pity that although Wallace is not for sale for the Magic, he is also the only center that the Magic team can handle, and if Wallace is gone, the Magic team will have no reliable center.

However, the Magic did not refuse, but the lion opened his mouth to make a multi-player deal with the Nets, in addition to wanting the Nets' 2001 first-round pick, but also hoping that the Nets would accept their team's garbage contract players.

Stefansky's conditions for the Magic team are naturally impossible to agree to, not to mention that Ben Wallace's data is not good, and it is not worth the price.

However, Stefansky did not give up immediately, but continued to fight with the Magic team manager, hoping to get Ben Wallace for a small price.

While talking to the Magic, Stefansky also called the Trail Blazers in hopes of getting O'Neal Jr.

At first, the Trail Blazers manager refused on the grounds that O'Neal Jr. was not for sale, but Stefansky did not give up and contacted O'Neal Jr.'s agent.

Although O'Neal Jr. signed a good contract with the Trail Blazers, his playing time was always slim. In three seasons with the Trail Blazers, he averaged just 3.73 points per game.

What disappointed O'Neal Jr. even more was that in the playoffs last season, in the second half of the game against the Nuggets, O'Neal Jr. played quite well, not much worse than Sabonis and Wallace.

In O'Neal's opinion, this proved his quality, so this summer, he decided to express his desire to the management to get more minutes and become the team's main substitute.

The management of the Trail Blazers did not agree, but did not refuse, but took out a 4-year 24 million contract, and because of the amount of the contract, O'Neal Jr. had the illusion that the team wanted to reuse him, so he chose to sign the contract.

Unfortunately, O'Neal Jr. was destined to be disappointed, and shortly after signing the contract, the Trail Blazers got Schramf again.

Schramf has already proven himself, being a three-time All-Star and one of the representatives of international players. Although he is 35 years old, he has maintained his form very well, and he was able to average 15 points, 7.4 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game last season.

When the Trail Blazers get Schramf, they will naturally not let Schramf sit on the cold bench, at least to occupy a lot of playing time.

In addition to Schramf, the Trail Blazers have Sabonis, Wallace and Brian Grant, a total of four All-Star-caliber interior players, and how O'Neal Jr.'s playing time increases.

With Schramf's arrival, O'Neal Jr. was completely dead, because the Trail Blazers simply couldn't give him much playing time.

In this regard, the Trail Blazers management is also helpless, because it is impossible for them to reduce the playing time of the four All-Stars. What's more, the team's owner, Paul Allen, only cares about results, and the team's strategy in recent years has been to pile up stars, and there is no room for rookies at all.

Therefore, the Trail Blazers in recent years have almost become the grave of rookies, even if O'Neal Jr. performed well in the playoffs last season, there is no extra opportunity for O'Neal Jr.

Even so, because the Trail Blazers owner has money, and there is a shortage of centers in the league now, even if the Nets have trade intentions, they don't want to give up O'Neal Jr., a potential center.

O'Neal Jr. was annoyed that he had come to the NBA as the youngest player in history, and he was naturally ambitious and thought he could make a difference.

As a result, after three years, he didn't get many opportunities to play at all, and the data was naturally miserable.

O'Neal Jr. is very envious of his teammates and opponents who have appeared with him in the McDonald's All-Star Game, because most of them have played some famous games, like Garnett and Carter have become the core of the team. As for him, he was still sitting on the cold bench, and this great contrast made him feel very disappointed.

He's hungry for success, and he's just as hungry for the team's attention, but the Trail Blazers' strategy of stacking stars has doomed him from succeeding here.

But in addition to the anger, O'Neal Jr. also felt helpless, he didn't want to stay with the Trail Blazers, but judging by the contract he signed, it was difficult to win the favor of other teams.

In this era, the annual salary of NBA players is far less than that of later generations, and superstars earn more than 10 million yuan a year. As for O'Neal Jr., he averaged 3+3 data per game in these three seasons, but his contract is 4 years and 24 million.

In this era, with an average of 6 million per year, many teams can rank in the top three, or even the first, such as the Nets, except for Jason Williams, who retired due to injury, the highest annual salary is 5.6 million Gil, which may be one of the reasons why Gil wants to become the core of the Nets.

With such an annual salary and data, coupled with O'Neal Jr.'s injury concerns, O'Neal Jr. is at great risk, and almost no team is willing to gamble.

Just when O'Neal Jr. was on the verge of despair, his agent called and told him that the Nets wanted him and that the Trail Blazers were refusing to trade.

Originally, the agent just wanted to ask O'Neal Jr.'s opinion, but O'Neal Jr. was like seeing the light of day, and now he wants to leave the Trail Blazers, no matter which team.

The three-year wait has already worn out little O'Neill's patience, and now that he has the opportunity, he naturally doesn't want to wait any longer. He never doubted his strength, he just needed a place where he could prove himself.

As a result, O'Neill Jr. immediately put pressure on the team's management, and his temper was relatively hot and he wanted to leave the team.

Even at this point, the Trail Blazers management has not given up on O'Neal Jr.'s idea. They are well aware of the potential O'Neal Jr. possesses, and if he is given enough time, he will likely become a good interior player. Even if the current Trail Blazers don't give him the soil to grow up, they still hope that O'Neal Jr. can stay, after all, Sabonis and Schramf are old, and maybe it will be time to step back next season.

But no matter how they persuaded him, little O'Neill went in and out of his left ear, and he made a lot of noise.

In desperation, for the sake of the team's stability, the Trail Blazers management had to get in touch with the Nets to negotiate a trade for O'Neal Jr.

This time, the Nets are offering Kendall Gill a chip to trade the team's thorn, and his contract with O'Neal Jr. is not much different.

It's just that in addition to getting Gill, the Trail Blazers also want to get a center to replace O'Neal Jr. as the third center.

Such a request made Stefansky feel embarrassed and had the idea of giving up.
