Chapter 33: The Butterfly Effect Transaction

Tyrek has been out for three weeks, and at this point he has been doing some time in his rehab at the district training gym, but he still needs to wear protective gear. The Sacramento Kings, meanwhile, have endured 10 three games in those three weeks.

In addition to losing to the Charlotte Hornets at home, they also lost to the San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics at home in succession, and they were all defeated. After three consecutive home losses, Cousins won a tough home game against the Utah Jazz with a double-double. Then they were defeated by the Dallas Mavericks and Oklahoma City Thunder at home in succession, and in the following four road trips, they only won 1-3, at this time the team's winning percentage has fallen below 5%, and the current record is 26-27, and the team's ranking has also slipped to 10th in the West, with a 2.5-game difference from the 8th place in the West.

On this day, Tyrek was about to go out to the training gym, when the mobile phone in his pocket rang, and when he took it out, he saw that it was Petri, the general manager of the team!

Petri's gruff voice came over the phone, "Tyreck, how is your recovery lately?" ”

"It's not bad, but there is still a little pain in the soles of my feet......"

"Well, you're recovering positively, and everyone is waiting for you to return. I'm calling you today to inform you of one thing. ”

Petri's voice was a little serious, and Terek listened attentively.

"The team has basically confirmed a deal at the moment, and we will be trading Karl. Landry was sent to New Orleans in exchange for Marcus of the Hornets. Thornton. We've been missing points at the back except for you, and now you're injured and you've seen the team's performance so far. And the team is a bit bloated up front, it's time to look for a change......"

Hearing Petri say this, Tyrek's heart tightened, what should have happened still happened, he couldn't escape the invasion of injuries, and triggered this transaction one after another. Thorton is still here......

Tyrek once remembered Marcus. Thornton came to the Sacramento Kings with a strong performance and became the Kings' top scorer for a while, and at that time his injury allowed Thorton to sit in the starting lineup. After returning to the team from injury, he was squeezed out of playing time by Thorton and then swayed to the number three position...... In short, Thorton's arrival may not be a good thing for him!

And now I am repeating my fate, although I have changed a lot of things, but I still suffered the same plantar fasciitis, and now the same team personnel have changed......

"Hey...... Tyrek, do you hear that? ”

Tyrek, who was in a trance, was a little stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses and said, "Oh...... Oh...... Got it, Mr. Petri......"

"Tyrek, don't be emotional, the reason why I called to tell you is because you are the absolute core of our team, and now that you have a say in the dressing room, the team's trade should still be told to you. Don't worry, when you come back, the team will still be dominated by you. ”

"Mr. Petri, how can I be emotional? Naturally, I don't have a problem with the team's arrangement. ”

"Okay, then you have a good rest, recover well, I'm hanging."

Putting down the phone, Tyrek knew in his heart that Petri's words were true and false, he is indeed the core of the Kings team and the first All-Star of the Kings in 7 years, but he is not so important, after all, he is only a sophomore player, and the interests of the team are always the most important to the management.

Marcus. Thornton, the 13th pick in the 2nd round of '09, was drafted by the Miami Heat and was subsequently traded to the New Orleans Hornets. In the first season of his career, Thornton worked under head coach Byron. After Scott's dismissal, he gradually gained consistent playing time, and in the field of Devin. After Brown was traded, Thorton sat in the starting position of the Hornets, and also scored 23 points in a single quarter in his rookie season, breaking the personal single-quarter scoring record in New Orleans Hornets history, and was named to the second team of the All-Rookie Team in the 09-10 season.

This season, the head coach put Thorton on the bench, playing a significant decrease in minutes compared to his rookie season, and his stats have also shrunk significantly. However, despite this, Thorton is still a good scorer, and now that the Kings are seriously lacking in firepower from the outside, Thorton can indeed be regarded as a good addition.

Tyrek knew the deal was finalized, and as a professional, he had to adapt to the arrival of his new teammates. Tyrek believes in his own strength, and now his position in the team is not something that Thorton can influence, as long as he continues to play after his return, everything is still the same as before.

Tyrek didn't think much of it, and the strength and conditioning coach Lamont. Peterson is still waiting for him in the training gym, and now the rehabilitation is the most important thing.

At noon, Tyrek and Peterson were about to eat lunch when Tyreck's phone rang again, and Tyrek saw that it was Cousins.

"Terek, did you get Carl's text message?! Hey, Carl just left, partnering with him on the inside for more than half a season, and it's really uncomfortable now......"

Cousins has a straightforward personality and emotions are outward, and Tyrek can clearly hear Cousins' tone with some regret.

"DeMarcus, I was just training and didn't have time to look at my phone. By the way, I saw how you did during All-Star Weekend, scoring 40 points in the Rookie Challenge, and that's a lot of fun! Okay, I know, I'll take a look, hang up first......"

"Haha, it's a performance, it's nothing, hahaha! Well...... Tyrek, hurry up, I miss your performance on the court......"

Tyrek hung up the phone, looked down, and sure enough, there was an unread message, it was Carl. Landry's.

"Tyreek, I was traded by the team to the New Orleans Hornets. It's been exactly a year since I came to the Sacramento Kings in February 2010 and now I'm leaving. It's been an honor to be your teammate throughout the year, you've been destined to be a great player since your rookie season. This year's improvement in the team's record, in which your contribution is the greatest, and being selected as an All-Star is the best compliment for you. Injuries can't beat you, and when you get back on the pitch, it's going to shine even more. But I can't fight with you anymore and I'm looking forward to playing against you in the future. Best wishes to you, Terek! ”

Tyrek sighed in his heart that Landry is a good player and a good person in life, and he has a good relationship with Landry, and replied: "Carl, reliable teammate, your strength is obvious to all, I wish you a better time playing in New Orleans, brother forever!" ”

Just this afternoon, the Sacramento Kings officially announced that they would send the team's forward Carl Brown. Landry traded from New Orleans Hornets to get guard Marcus. Thornton, along with some cash compensation, will wear the team's No. 23 jersey when he comes to the Kings.

And the day of Terek's comeback is getting closer and closer......
