Starting July 1, the NBA free agency will open until the end of February next year, and no trading will be available at other times.

Of course, between the end of the finals and the draft, the draft picks for this draft can be traded.

Once the free agency market opens, it doesn't mean that a signing or trade can be executed immediately, but there will be a grace period until July 7, but free agents can be approached for negotiations.

So, after the draft, rumors about the trade of various stars began to spread, which is also the practice every year.

Among them, naturally includes Chi Liang.

According to USA Today, at least seven teams in the league have issued trade intentions to the Nuggets, hoping to get Chi Liang through the trade.

The seven teams are the Rockets, Bulls, Wizards, Jazz, Trail Blazers, Nets and Celtics, and these teams are either rebuilding teams or are aging at the core and about to become rebuilding teams.

Of course, the Pioneer is an exception, after the Pioneer was defeated by Chi Liang in one fell swoop, the Pioneer boss fell in love with Chi Liang.

In addition to these seven teams, the rest of the teams are also waiting to see, and if the Nuggets really have the intention of trading Ji Liang, they may also grab people.

In just a few days, Chi Liang has been the protagonist of the transaction rumors, but it is these transaction rumors that just highlight his value.

Among them, Team Rocket moves the fastest.

In this season, the Rockets were out in the first round, and Tang Shuai knew very well that this Rockets team was coming to an end.

As a result, the Rockets took the lead in proposing a trade to the Nuggets, expressing their willingness to use all players, including Olajuwon, in the hope of exchanging Chi Liang.

Soon, the Bulls also made a trade proposal to the Nuggets, and all but the first-round pick Brand, the rest of the team could be traded, including unprotected first-round picks.

After the two teams proposed, five more teams chose to follow up, and their trade proposals were plausible, and they were willing to pay a huge price in order to get Ji Liang.

For a while, rumors about Chi Liang's trade quickly spread throughout the United States, attracting the attention of many basketball fans.

Because the momentum was too loud, it made Nuggets fans nervous, for fear that the team's management would make a brain-dead act and trade the Denver Light.

Everyone knows that with the strength shown by Chi Liang, as long as he stays healthy, he can definitely become a superstar, and judging from his age, he doesn't have to think about changing the core in ten years.

Unless the Nuggets management feels that they can't keep Chi Liang, it is impossible to make the possibility of putting Chi Liang on the shelf.

Of course, the world is not absolute!

Since Denver is too small, the alliance doesn't want Chi Liang to stay in the city at all, but wants him to go to a big city, preferably a big city in the east, so that it is more in the interests of the alliance.

In addition, the light of Denver traveling east is also conducive to weakening the pattern of strong west and weak east.

In this case, the league began to take measures, first knocking on the side, and understanding the Nuggets owner's appeal.

Even if the team reaches the Western Conference Finals, the Nuggets owner's idea of selling the team has not changed, because he wants to return the funds and use them to invest in the stock market.

During this time period, the stock prices of Internet and information technology-related companies in the United States rose rapidly, and in order to pursue greater profits, the Nuggets owner wanted to sell the team as soon as possible, which was also his biggest demand.

In addition, because of Chi Liang's skin color, the Nuggets boss doesn't value it, although there is no racial discrimination on the surface, but he always looks down on Chi Liang in his heart.

Like many team owners, Nuggets owners also discriminate against foreign players, but this is more rampant, not only with colored eyes behind the scenes, but also undisguised on the surface.

It's just that he pays more attention to his words and deeds in public, and he has never been caught.

It is not easy for foreign players to enter the NBA with their own efforts, and they need to overcome not only the shortcomings brought by innate physical talent, but also the fallacies of the outside world, especially in this iron-blooded era.

After understanding the Nuggets owner's 'demands', the league took two measures, one is to help the Nuggets owner sell the team, provided that Chi Liang is traded, and the other is to investigate the Nuggets owner in-depth and collect his remarks about discrimination against foreign players.

As a result, a premeditated plan began to unfold, and the league struggled to make the Nuggets trade pool bright.

Time passed slowly, and soon it was July 14th.

On this day, the headlines of the New York Times attracted wide attention.

According to the New York Times, Nuggets owner John Clooney was involved in a racist incident and even released the audio of Cloney's racist remarks.

It is reported that the cause of the incident was that Clooney was drunk at a drinking party yesterday, and then began to confide in a certain drinking friend.

Clooney said: "Chi Liang, oh, you mean the yellow player, yes, he's great, but so what? Of course, I'm glad he did enough for me, but that's about it! Make him the leader of the team? He will never be, no matter how strong he is, I will never make a yellow player a big leader in the team! ”

The United States has always prided itself on freedom, democracy, and equality, and freedom of speech is a legitimate right granted by its Constitution.

After the matter fermented, the United States naturally caused a wave of public opinion, and John Clooney's views and remarks on Chi Liang naturally attracted criticism from many celebrities, especially NBA celebrities and overseas players.

After hearing John Clooney's racist remarks, Nuggets legend Alex Inglish said: "Nuggets owner Clooney's remarks against yellow people are a disgrace to the NBA, as long as Clooney is the owner of the Nuggets, I will never go to the Nuggets game!" ”

In the interview, Tim Duncan openly said: "Clooney did something very stupid, yes, it doesn't get much more stupid than that, and he has to pay for it!"

In the face of an interview with reporters, although McDyce was low-key, he still said: "I can only say that he is too irrational, the original good situation of the team may fall apart because of his remarks, and now we can only wait for the attitude of the league!"

Although he is a Nuggets player, McDyce doesn't care about this, he is the core of the team and has enough confidence.

Among them, the ESPN reporter interviewed the representative of the foreign players - Avidas Sabonis.

Sabonis said he was furious when he learned about it, saying: "We foreign players have been treated a lot of unfair treatment over the years, and we hope that the league will punish John Clooney and improve the environment for foreign players. ”

For this incident, the Nuggets players also held an internal player meeting specifically for this matter, but the team has not yet commented.
